MEDICAL AID SOUGHT IN VAIN
Chronic Disease and Laudanum Doing The
Fatal Work.
a Disguised Case of Chronic casarrh.

Mrs. George W. Taylor,of Eaton, Gibson
county, Tenn, in writing for a recent pub
location, states: NEARLY two years ago
was confined TO my bed with chronic
diarrh@a, which had been running on for
six years. / had tried everything l had
heard of and consulted several physi-
clans, with little or no relief. l sometimes
took 100 drops of laudanum in day-the
dose never being less than thirty drops.
April, 1890, | was not able to be up
any longer, and not knowing anything
better to do, sent for
the family physician. He came and pre-
scribed cod-Ever oil When the doctor
called again he did not think there was any
chance for my recovery; and, being an hon
est man, told my husband privately that it
was useless for him to continue his calls, as
it would only be bill for him to pay, with
no benefit to me; for, in his opinion, was
beyond all help. That same evening my
husband brought me q bottle of Pe-ru-na
1 began taking it the next day according to
directions, and began to improve at once.
"My neighbors have told me since II
have gotten well that the doctor saidS L
would not live over three weeks, and WIS
likely to be dead in three days; but In
three weeks l was able to sit up some. d
took three bottles of Pe-ru-na, and 4elt
better than 1 had for two years. In he
fall took another bottle, and last spritg
taken-ive bottles in all. OF cour$
could not quit the laudanum all at oncghnd
my friends thougfft E>never would After
having taken it so lnugi But bougM nv

and did not take but very little e tAat; and
to-day 1 have no signs of my old disease.
/ can do anything evef could and eat any
thing without the least Inconvenience: and
when 1 say if it had not been for Pe-ru-na
would have been in my grave nearly two
years ago do not think ekaggerate in the
least.n
The above case of chronic diarrhea is q
fair example of chronic catarrh of the

but which are really differept forms of ca

catarrhal affections have comesto be known
have the effect e leading most people to
suppose each one o be an entirely different

known as "a cold'' lsrealLY acute catarrh

catarrh assumes three dfstincE phases,
known as influenza, FdistenpSar and la
grippe, each one presenting different symp-
toms, yet there is no essestial difference in
their natare,o or SUCCESSFUL treatment. In

the symptoms pred iced 1by them are

Dyspepsia, diarfsseas sfssAserE, inflamma-

It is established beyondsal question that

grippe, distemper, and infiuenza, the dose
is tablespoonful every hour for adults,
and a correSp onding less dose for children.
In cases of sore throat, bronchitis and
consumption 1t is better to add two ounces
of rock candy to each bottle before using;
then take according to direction, 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 and chronic
diarrhea the directions on the bottle are
sufficient Gases Of chronic catarrh in the
head, throat, bronchial tubes. stomach and
pelvic organs, of ten, fifteen, or even twenty
years standing, are constantly cured by
the use of Pe-ru-na. It has come to be
ell-estabhshed TACT that Pe-ru-na will cure
catarrh in any stage or variety where the
case is not complicated by any Organic dis
ease.
A valuable pamphlet of thirty-two pages,
setting forth in detail the treatment of
catarrh in every phase of the disease, will
be sent free 10 any address by The Pe-ru-na
Drug Manufacturing Company Of Columbus,
Ohio. This book should be in every house
hold, as it contains great deal of reliable
information as TO the cure and prevention
OF all catarrhal and kindred diseases.
