Protect Your Health.

Cold and moisture combined have a tor
porising effect upon the bodily organs, and
the digestive and secretive processes are apt
to be more tardily performed in the winter
than in the fall. The same is true, also, of
the excretory functions. The bowels are
often sluggish, and the pores of the skin
throw off but little waste matter at this sea-
son. The system, therefore, requires OPEN
ing up little, and also purifying and regu-
lating, and the safest, surest and most thor
ough tonic and alternative that can be used
for these purposes is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. Persons who wish to escape the
rheumatic twinges, the dyspeptic agonies,
the painful disturbances of the bowels, the
bilious attacks, and the nervous visitations,
so common at this time of the year, will do
well to reinforce their systems with this re-
nowned vesetable stomachic and invigorant.
1t improves the appetite, strengthens the
stomach, cheers the spirits and renovstes the
whole physique.

A CASE OF CHRONIC CATARRH
YEARS A VICTIM OF CATARRH,
AND PERMANENTLY CURED.
A Treatment That Need Not Fail In
Reach of An.

If cases like the following can
be cured, certainly there IS hope
for all. This patient had been
growing worse in spite of all treat
for ten years, and had reached that
terrible condition known as the
third stage at catarrh (atrophic
catarrh]. The offensive breath,
and dry scabs forming in the nose,
cracking IN the ears, describe a
condition which is considered by
most physicians as hopeless. The
case is given IN the words of the
patient:
CLINTON, MICH, March 81, 1891,
The Peruna Medicine Co.,
Columbus, O.-Gentlemen: 1 had
been troubled ten years with
chronic catarrh, gradually grow
ing worse from year to year. 1
tried all the treatments and RENE.
dies l heard of without any relief.
Ny symptoms were dry scabs
forming in the nose, dropping
from the back part of the nose into
the throat, sore throat, nose stop
ped up, offensive breath and
cracking and roaring in the ears.
l began to take your remedy on
the first of November, 1889, and
in twelve months l was perfectly
cured. 1 used no local treatment,
but used only your medicine in
ternally. 1 have had no return of
my catarrh, and consider myself
perfectly cured. b. D. WALTER.
1t would be difficult to describe
worse case to cure than the
above. The length of time it had
run, the fact that 1t had continu-
ally grown worse, and the further
fact that it had already developed
the symptoms of the dry, or
atrophie, stage of catarrh, com.
bine to make this a very remarks
BILE cure, quite impossible to be
made with the ordinary treatment.
This cure was effected by in
ternal treatment alone, and no
spray, gargie or inhalant was used.
The case began to improve as
soon as the medicine WAS be-
gun, and in six months every
symptom had disappeared, but the
medicine was continued a few
months longer for fear they would
return. This man has been ex-
posed during the past winter to
the changeable climate of Michi-
gan, and has not had the slightest
return of any catarrhal symptoms.
Not month passes but that hun
dreds of similar cures are made by
the internal use of Pe-ru-na. unas-
sisted by other treatment.
The only reason that there a-e
any failures is either because the
catarrh is complicated by some or
ganic disease or the patient does
not take the medicine long enough.
The majority of people expect to
be cured in week or two of ca
tarrh that has run ten or fifteen
years. Such people are nearly al
ways disappointed. Pe-ru-na will
cure a recent case of acute catsrrh
in u few days or weeks, but when
the disease becomes chronic il
takes longer.
Colds, winter coughs, bronchitis,
sore throat and pleurisy are all Ca
tarrhaI affections, and consequent
ly are quickly durable by Pe-ru-na.
Each bottle of Pe-ru-na is accom-
panied by full directions for use,
and is kept by most druggists.
Get your druggist to order it for
you, if he does not already keep
it.
