An ordinary sore throat, by frequent
reoccurrence, is apt to become chronic,
so that the throat continues to be sore
nearly all the time. This form of sore
throat is known in medical literature as
Follicular Pharyngitis. 1t is caused by
excessive use of the voice, by cOnline-
ment in close rooms in bad air, by un-
due exposure to cold, or by over-indul-
gence in smoking, but more frequently
by catarrh and diphtheria. The symp-
toms are frequent hawking, especially
in the morning, expelling from the
throat with great difficulty, stringy
mucous, which produces gagging, and
even vomiting at times. There is Il
raw, sore feeling in the throat, anu
when the slightest cold is taken, the
throat becomes inhamed and swollen.
Instead of the smooth, pinkish look
that the throat has in health, it looks
angry, red and uneven, with occasional
patches of white mucous adhering to
it. 1t is sure to make much speaking,
singing or laughing painful, and the
voice will slowly grow hoarser and
weaker. Nothing is surer than if this
is allowed to go unchecked it will
finally involve the larynx, and the voice
will be seriously injured. 1t is also
certain that unless something is done
10 stop 1t the disease will gradually ex-
tend down to the bronchial tubes TO the
| lungs.
Follicular Pharyngitis is the special
bane of public speakers and singers,

depressed by organic disease of any
kind. People who, for any reason, are
much confined to close rooms, are very
liable to this disease. Any one afflicted
by this trouble is not only leading a
miserable life, but the inflamed state of
the throat renders hIm especially liable
to acute disease of the throat, such rs
diphtheria and quinsy
For this trouble in any stage Pe-rl-na
is the pink of perfection. If Pe-ru-na
were always used before the lungs be-
came affected it would not fail to cure
a single case. Numerous cases that
have used gargles, wet packs, external
and internal applications of all sorts
without avail, find immediate relief ant
cure by using Peruna. The fame of Pc
ru-na in all mucous inflammations il
such that many doctors and druggists
not only prescribe it, but use it as theil
own family medicine. As soon as it,
use in such cases Is begun, the phlegn
loses its sticky, stringy character, ant
, becomes at first more abundant, bu
easily expectorated. The quantit,
grows gradually less, until, after sever
al weeks use of Pe-ru-na, it ceases al
together. The infiamed mucous surfaces
and enlarged follicles show immediat,
improvement, and rapidly regain thel
natural appearance, by taking Pe-ru-na
, without the use of any gargle or appli
cation whatever.
, In eases of sore throat, bronchiti,
and consumption, where cough is
prominent symptom, it is better to ado
two ounces of rock candy to each bottle
before using; then take according t.
directions on the bottle. In cases o
dyspepsia and diseases of the abdomi
nal cavity and pelvic organs, the direc
tions on the bottle are sufficient. Cases
of chrome catarrh in the head, throat
bronchial tubes, stomach and pelvi
organs, OI ten, ilteen, OF even twenty
years standing, are constantly being
cured by the use of Pe-ru-na. 1t ha,
come to be a wellrestablished fact tha
Pe-ru-na will cure catarrh in any stage
or variety where the case Is not com
; plicated by any organic disease
, A valuable pamphlet of thirty-tw'
pages, setting forth in detail the treat
, ment of coughs, colds, sore throat
bronchitis, consumption, catarrh il
every phase of the disease, will be sen

household, as it contains great dea
o of reliable information as to the cur
and prevention of all catarrhal ant
