EXTRACTS
From a Famous Lecture on Catsr-
rhal Diseases by Dr. 5. b. Hart
man, Columbus, Ohio.
Chronic catarrh. Coughs. Colds,
Influenza. La Grippe, and Many
Olher Common Affections
Fully Explained and
Treatment Given.

The disease known sc Catarrh is ca
pable OF setting up II the body such q
variety OF arrangements that there are
large group OF diseases, commonly
thought 10 be disslmiar, bul when are
really different ferns of the same dis
Ease. The different names ~ which
the catarrhal Affections have come 10
be known have the effect OF leading
most people 10 suppose each one to be
al entirely different disease. To illus
trste: What is generally known as "a
cold" is really acute catarrh OF the
sporadic variety. Epidemic eatarrh
assumes three distinct phases, known
| as Influenza, Distemper and Ia Grippe,
each one presenting different symp-
toms, yet there IS no essential difference
~ their nature or successful treatment.
Inflammation Of the eyes and middle
ear are simply cstarrh Of the mucous
lining of these organs. Pharyngltis and
Laryngltis sore throat are both ca
tsrrh, although the symptoms produced
by them are quite different. Bronchitis,
catarrh OF the bronchial tubes and con-
sumption is in the majority OF cases but
catarrn OF the lungs. Dyspepsia, dlar-
ghoea, dysentery, inflammation OF the
BLADDER and other pelvic organs are
nearly always due TO catarrh q these
parts.
Thus it will he seen that the group of
diseases property included under the
head of catarrh is very large and I'M
portant one, and any remedy that so
operates on the system as TO cure Ca
larrh of any variety can be relied upon
as remedy in all other varieties of the
disease. 1t is established beyond all
question that Pe-ru-na is by far the
most celebrated. if not the only specific,
remedy for. catarrhal diseases. The
dose and times of taking the remedy
differ according to the variety OF Ca
tarrh for which It is taken.
If il be common cold, wlneglass-
full of Pe-ru-na, taken in hot water, at
the beginning OF the attack, followed
by tablespoonful every three hours
until the symptoms all subslde, 10 the
proper treatment. In cases OF La
Grippe, Distemper and Influenza, the
dose is tablespoonful every hour for
adults, and correspondingsess dose
for children. During the night, if the
patients are quietly sleeping. 1t is not
my custom to wake them to take the
medicine; but if restless Pe-ru-na should
be given regularity the whole twenty
four hours.
In cases of sore throat, bronchitis
and consumption it is better to add two
ounces of rock candy to each bottle be-
fore using; then take according to
directions on the. bottle. This Is also
the proper way to use Pe-ru-na in all
cases where a cough is a permanent
symptom. In cases of dyspepsia ami
diseases of the abdominal and pelvic
organs, the directions on the bottle are
sufficient. Cases of chronic catarrh in
| the head, throat, bronchial tubes,
stomach and pelvic organs, of ten,
fifteen, or even twenty years standing,
are constantly being cured by the use
of Pe-ru-na. 1t has come to be we'll
established fact that Pe-ru-na will cure
catarrh in any stage or variety where
the case is not complicated by any Or
ganic disease.
A valuable pamphlet of thirty-two
pages, setting forth in detail the treat
ment of catarrh in every phase Of the
disease, will be sent free to any ad-
dress by the Peruna Medicine Company
Of Columbus, Ohio. This took should
be in every household, as 1t contains a
! great deal of reliable information as
! to the cure and prevention Of all Ca
| tarrhal and kindred diseases.
