yagnltls, uFethntis, nepnrltls and cys-

the truth - they are caiarrh of the mu

OF the above diseases IS applicable TO

the SAME condition. Catarrh Is catarrh
wherever located. and the remedy that

Will also cure II in any other organ.
As | have had occasion 10 frequently

OF the body are line with "A delicate
pink lining composed chiefly of Very

affected by catarrh the mucus becomes

Catarrhal secretions in the frontal
sinus Ia little cavity in the bone of the
forehead between the eyes, never fails

ache or neuralgia. Catarrh IN the
throat or bronchial tubes gives rise to an

tubes as to produce chronic hOrseness
or cough, and in thousands of cases the
fluld finds It's way down into the lungs,
producing the most fatal form of con-
sumption.
am persuaded, after many years of
experience in the treatment of con-

due 10 chronic catarrh. The catarrh
may have been soslight previous to the
development rs To cause no alarm; but
suddenly the dread symptoms of CON-
sumption make their appearance, mtny
times too late to be cured. Similar
explanation will apply to catarrh Of the
stomach and bowels, which so deranges
the fluids Of digestion as to produce
dyspepsia. dlarrhpa and dysentery.

once produces chronic inflammation of
these organs, III every respect resem-
bling Bright's disease of the kidneys.
The acrid mucus formed in the kidneys
by catarrh not only sets up derange-
ments OF these organs, but frequently
also the other urinary organs. :
In short. catarrh is capable of chang.
ing all of the life-giving secretions of
the body INTO scaldlng fluids, which de-
stroy and infame every part they come
i'll contact with. Applications to the.
places affected by catafrh can do little
good save to soothe or quiet disagree
able symptoms. Hence it is that
garglcs, sprays, atomizers and inhal-
ants only serve as temporary relief.
Any medicine, to effect cure. must
be- taken into the system. Pe-ru-na
has shown itself IN cases innumerable
to be capable of curing catarrh by re-
moving the cause.
So long as the irritating secretions of
catarrh continue to tie formed, so long
will the membranes continue TO be IN
famed. no matter what treatment Is
used. As soon as Pc-ru-na has been
taken long enough to thoroughly act
on the system it changes the burning,
harmful secretions TO healthy mucus,
and the inflamed membranes soon are
as well ne ever. Pe-ru-na will have this
effect whether the catarrh affect the
head, throat. stomach, bowels or
kidneys.
When the Pe-ru-na has overcome the
harmful effects of the catarrhal dis
charges the medicine should Toe con-
tinued long enough to allow the in>
lured membranes time enough 10 en-
tirely recover, which will insure per-
manent cure. Each bottle of Pe-ru-na
is accompanied with all necessary direc-
tons for use.
