| WHAT DOCTORS SAY OF CATARRH.
Whether chronic catarrh can be perma-
nently cured or not is a question about
which there is great difference of opinion
among the professional few, and also among
| the non- professional masses. The majority
| of physicians dislike to undertake the cure
of this disease because they know that only
the most tireless patience and faithful
obedience on the part of the patient as we'll
as skillful treatment on the part of the ply
sician, will be rewarded with success.
Hence it is that a great proportion of the
| medical fraternity hesitate or refuse to treat
chronic catarrh on the plea that it is in
durable.
WHY SOME PATIENTS FIND NO CURE.
Hence it is also that SO many patients
fail in finding a cure because of their un-
willingness to continue treatment long
enough. Many people who have had
chronic catarrh for five. ten or even fifteen
years, will follow treatment for few weeks
and then. because they are not cured, give
up in despair and try something else.
These patients never follow any one treat
ment long enough to test its merits. and con-
sequently never find a cure. 1t is we'll
known law of disease that the longer it has
run the more tenaciously it becomes fast
ened to its victim.
CHRONIC DISEASES RECOVER SLOWLY.
Some doctors 60 so far as to say that it
will take as long to cure a disease as the
disease has run, but, while I do not believe
that this is necessarily true, yet it is be-
yond dispute that the longer the catarrh has
run the more difficult of cure it becomes.
1t seems to be very hard to get patients to
understand this fact and submit to the in
evitable.
PALLIATIvES DO NOT CURE.
The difficulty with which catarrh is cured
has led to the invention of q host of REM
edies 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
people try these 'catarrh cures one after
another, but disappointment is the invari-
able result, until very many sincerely be-
lieve that no cure is possible.
LOCAL APPLICATION CANNOT CURE.
The various kinds and modes of local ap-
plication, such as sprays, atomizers,
douches, inhalants, fumigations, creams.
ointments, lotions, gargles, etc., etc., have
in many cases a soothing effect on the in
famed surfaces, and are sometimes useful
to assist cure: but neither of them nor all
of them together ever did or ever will cure
a case of catarrh. These things may give
temporary relief, but it is useless to expect
a cure Of them. Catarrh is not local dis
ease, hence cannot be cured by local treat
ment.
CATARRH is. A SYSTEMIC DISEASE,
and, therefore, requires persistent internal
treatment, often Tor many months, before a
permanent cure is effected. The mucous lin
ings OF the cavities OF the head, throat, lungs,
etc., are made up of network of minute
blood vessels called capillaries. The capil-
laries are very small elastic tubes. which, in
all cases of chronic catarrh, are congested or
bulged out with blood so long that the elas-
ticity 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 ac-
tion in any case of catarrh must operate di-
rectly on the vasa-motor system of nerves.
As soon as these nerves become strengthened
and stimulated by the action OF 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 catafrh be permanently
cured. Thus it will be seen that cstarrh is
not a blood disease, as many suppose, but
rathera disease of the mucous blood ves-
sels This explains why it is that so many
excellent blood medicines utterly tail to cure
catarrh.
THE ONLY HOPE OF SUCCESS
in the permanent cure of case of chronic
catarrh is to devise some remedy that will
stimulate the nerves which supply the
capillary blood vessels. / know OF but one
remedy that has this most desirable effect,
and that remedy is Pe-ru-na. This remedy
strikes at once at the root of the catarrh by
restoring TO the capillary vessels their
healthy elasticity. Pe-ru-na is not a tenn
porary palliative, but radical cure. Its
action is necessarily slow, but permanent.
CATARRH is CURABLE.
In the majority of cases Especially those
of less than two years duration) catarrh
can be cured in a few weeks by the proper
use of Pe-ru-na. Some cases are cured by
six bottles, others by four, and.we have not
few testimonials who have professed a
cure from even one bottle of this remedy.
Where case of catarrh has existed for five |
or ten years permanent cure cannot be
reasonably hoped for in less than three or
four months, and in some rare cases the con-
tinued use Of Pe-ru-na for one year has been
necessary to effect a permanent cure. But, |
unless the case is very old or complicated, a
speedy and permanent cure Is sure.
THESE ARE FACTS
based on many years use of this most ex-
cellents catarrh remedy. No one could be |
more anxious than myself to discover some |
catarrh remedy that would cure in less time, |
but it seems to be an impossibility to do so.
1t is not only true of catarrh, but also of all |
other chronic diseases, that it takes time and |
persistent treatment to cure.
A CURE GUARANTEED.
To all those who conscientiously follow
the above advice Q cure Is guaranteed.
There need be no failures. Each bottle Of |
Pe-ru-na is accompanied with complete
directions for use. The remedy can be had
