While it is fact that Pe-ru-na can
be relied on to cure chronic catarrh in
all stages and varieties, yet it is not
often that it will SC quickly cure a case
of long standing as the above. Hence
it is that so many patients fail in find
ing cure because of their unwilling
ness to continue treatment long enough.
Many people who have had chronic ca
tarrh for five, ten, and even fifteen
weeks, and then, because they are not
cured, give up in despair and try some.
thing else. These patients never fol-
low any one treatment long enough to
test its merits, and consequently never
find cure. 1t Is a well-knOwn law of
disease that the longer 1t has run, the
more tenaciously it becomes fastened
to its victim.
The difficulty with which catarrh is
cured has led to the invention of host
of remedies which produce relief only.
The unthinking masses expect to find
some remedy which will cure them in a
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 inyariablc result,
until very many sincerely believe that
no cure is possible.
CATARRH Is A SYSTEMATIC DISEASE,
and therefore requires persistent in
ternal treatment, sometimes for many
months, before a permanent cure is eff
fected. The mucous lining of the cav
tiles of the head, throat, lungs, ETC.,
are made up of 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 vi.
talIty are called the s'vasa-motor'
nerves. Any medicine to reach the
real difficulty and exert the slightest
curative action in any case of catarrl
must act directly on the yasa-motol
system of nerves. As soon as these
nerves become strengthened and slim
ulated by the action of n proper rem
edy, they restore TO the capillary YES
sells of the various mucous membranes
of the body their normal elasticity
Then, and only then, will the catarrl
be permanently cured. Thus it will b,
seen that catarrh is not blood diseas'
as many suppose, but rather diseas
of the mucous blood vessels. This ex
plains why it is that so many excellen
blood medicines utterly fail to cure ca
tarrh.
