The Peruna Medicine Co.-Sirs. have
used Pe-ru-na in my family, first for my
wife in lung trouble, She has been greatly
benefited; has passed over the winter, so
far, with great deal less trouble than for
years. have also found it of great benefit
in two cases of La grippe in my family. ]
have found great benefit myself in kidney
trouble, and think bottle or two will set
me all right. REV. J. G. RANDALL.
Each of the cases described in this candid
testimonial are doubtless the result of ca
tarrh in some phase or variety. In the
case of the wife who had a chronic lung
trouble it was chronic catarrh of the
bronchial tubes and air cells. La grippe
is but acute epidemic catarrh, in which he
found Pe-ru-na such q prompt relief for
two members of his family, while his own
case was one of chronic catarrh of the kid
neys This explains why Pe-ru-na was
found to be SO perfectly adapted to such
apparently dissimilar diseases. Catarrh
usually begins in the head or throat and is
commonly known as ga cold" Catching
cold'' is the ordinary phrase for an at
tack of acute catarrh. 1t may begin with a
slight cough, or hawking and splitting
mucous from the throat, or running at the
nose, or watery eyes; but these symptoms,
in large per cent of cases, continue to
grow worse until grave or fatal disease sets
in. Of course, some cases recover without
any treatment, but it is extremely danger
Gus and foolish to run such risks. If no
attention is paid to the acute stage it either
sets up diphtheria, pneumonia, consump-
tion, or some other disease, or develops
chronic catarrh, or at least leave the mucous
surfaces of the head and throat especially
liable to another attack at the slightest eI-
posure.
As soon as chronic catarrh has become
established the victim is never free from Q
list of disgusting and troublesome symp-
toms which are sufficient to make life al
most unendurable. If the chronic catarrh
is Of the humid variety an incessant spit
ting, hawking and blowing of the nose is
kept up, to the great annoyance of patient
and others. The thickened membranes of
the nose and throat produce snoring, watery
eyes and deafness.
Colds, winter coughs, bronchitis, sore
throat and pleurisy are all catarrhal affec-
tions, and consequently are quickly durable
by Pe-ru-na. Each bottle of Pe-ru-na is
accompanied by full directions for use, and
is kept by most druggists. Get your drug
gist to order it for you if he does not already
keep it.
In old cases of catarrh, whether of the
humid or dry variety, it is only necessary
to take Pe-ru-na exactly as directed on the
bottle Any one using Pe-ru-na who do not
realize the benefit they ought from its use
should write DR.. Hartman, giving a de-
scriptlon of the circumstances, and he is
usually able to discover the reason of the
failure, and help to speedy cure. But it
is only necessary in the great majority of
cases to follow the direction on the bottle
and cure is certain.
