Dr. S. B. Hartman & Co.-Gents: take
pleasure in testifying to your medicines.
have used about one bottle and half, and
can say am new man. Have had the
catarrh about 20 years. Before I knew
what it was it had settled on my lungs and
breast, but can now say am well. Was in
the army; could get no medicine that would
relieve me-

While it is fact that Pe-ru-na can be re-
lied on to cure chronic catarrh in all stages
and varieties, yet it is not often that it will
40 quickly cure . case of long-standing as
the above Hence it is that so many pa
tients fail in finding cure because of their
unwillingness to continue treatment long
enough. Many people who have had
chronic catarrh for five, ten, and even fifteen
years, will follow treatment for few weeks
ard then, because they are not cured, give
up in despair and try something else. These
patients never follow any one treatment
long enough to test its merits, and conse-
quently never find q cure. It is we'll
known law of disease that the longer it has
run the more tenaciously it becomes fas-
tened to its victim.
The difficulty with which catarrh is cured
has led to the invention of host of RENE
dies which produce temporary relief only.
The unthinking masses expect to find some
remedy which will cure them in few days,
and to take advantage of this false hope
many compounds which have instant but
transient effect have been devised. The peo-

another, but disappointment is the in
variable result, until very many sincerely
believe that no cure is possible.
CArARRH IS A SYSTEMIC DISEASE,
and therefore requires persistent internal
fore q permanent cure is effected. The mu-
cous lining of the cavities of the head,
throat lungs, etc, are made of a network of
minute blood vessels called capillaries. The
capillaries are very small elastic tubes
which, in all cases of chronic catarrh, are
congested or bulged out with blood SO long
that the elasticity of the tubes is entirely
destroyed. The nerves which supply these
capillaries with vitality are called the
"vasa-motor" nerves. Any medicine to
reach the real difficulty and exert the
slightest curative action in any case of
catarrh must operate directly on the vasa-
motor system of the nerves As soon as these
nerves become strengthened and stimu-
lated by the action of a proper remedy
they restore to the capillary vessels of the
various mucous membranes of the body
their normal elasticity. Then, and only
then, will the catarrh be permanently cured.
Thus it will be seen that catarrh is not q
blood disease, as many suppose, but rather
a disease of the mucous blood vessels. This
explains why it is that so many excellent
blood medicines utterly fail to cure catarrh.
Colds, winter coughs, bronchitis, sore
throat and pleurisy are all catarrhal affec-
tions, and consequently are quickly curable
by Pe-ru-na. Each bottle of Pe-ru-na is ae-
companied 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.
