AT DEATHS DOOR
4 Disguised cass Of cArenie
Catarrh.

Mrs. Geo. w. TAYLOR, Ealon, Gibson
county. Tenn. IN writing for = recent
publication, states: ssNearly two years
ago | was confined Ia my bed with
schronic dlarrhea, which had teen rum
Ming on Tor Ok years. l had tritd
everything / lad heard Of and con-
suited several physicians. with little or
no relief. sometimes took one hun
dred drops of laudAnum in dsy-shs
dose never being lees than thirty
dropA April. 1850. WAS not
able to be up any longer, and.
not knowing anything better 10 do, |
seHt fer the family physician. lie
came and prescribed c0d-I:ver oil.
When the doctor called again he did
not think there was any chance for my
recovery; and. being an honest man.
told my husband privately that it Was
useless tor him TO continue h,s calls, ~
il would ouiy be = bill for him to Jay.
with Lo benefit to me: for. in his opin-
ion, l was beyond all help. That Same
evening my husband 6yought me =
bottle Of Pe-ru-na. I began taking il
athe next day according 10 directions.
nd began 10 improve at once.
My neighbors have told me since
have gotten we'll that the doctor said /
would not live over three weeks. ani
was lik ely to b dead in three days; but
in three weeks wss abe to cit up some.
took three bottles of Pe-ru-na and
feel better than had for two years. In
the fall took another bottle. and last
spring took another. That is the last
| have taken-iive bottles In all. OF
course could not quit the laudanum
all at once, and my friends thought
never would after having taken it 60
long. But bought my last ounce OF
laudauum one year ago today, and did
not take but very little Of that; and to-
| day have no slgn OF my old disease.
| can do anything ever could and cat
| anything without the least lnconven-
ience; and when l say IL it had not
! been for Pe-ru-na would have been in
my grave nearly two years ago do not
think exaggerate IN the least"
The above case of CHROME diarrhna 10
q fair example of chronic catarrh of
| tho bowels, which had been running for
! years, reducing Its victim to . skeleton,
uncured because unsuspectcd.
Chronic catarrl. ike the "Angel OF

are large group of diseases, c0mmonly
| thought to be dissilllilar. hut winch are
really different fOrlns OF catarrh. The
different names by which these catarrhal
affections have come TO be known have
the eifectof leading most psopla to sup
! pose each one to be an entirely
different dlsease. To illustrate: What
is generally known us u ''cold" Is rea ~
acute catarrh of the sporadic variety.
Epidemic catarrh assum q three dis.
| tirct phases, known as influenza, dis.
temper, and la grippe. each one pre-
eentIng different symptoms, yet there
is no essential difference in their ra.
ture or successful treatment. Intlam

these organs. Pharyngitis and laryn

though the symptoms produced BY
them are quite different. Bronchitis

the bladder and other pelvic organs
are nearly always due to catarrh oI
