An ordinary sore throat, by frequent re-
currence, is apt to become chronic, so that
the throat continues TO be sore nearly al
the time. This form of sore throat is known
in medical literature as follicular pharyn-
gifts. 1t is caused by excessive use of the
voice, by confinement in close rooms in bad
air by undue exposure to cold, or by over
indulgence in smoking, but more frequently
by catarrh and dyphtheria. The symptoms
are frequent hawking, especially in the
morning, eXpelling from the throat with
great difficulty stringy mucous, which pro-
duceS gagging, and even vomiting at times.
There is raw, sore feeling in the throat,
and, when the slightest cold is taken, the
throat becomes infiamed and swollen In
stead 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 GER
tain that unless something is done to stop
it the disease will gradually extend down
the bronchial tubes to the lungs.
Follicular Pharyngitis is the special bane
of public speakers and singers, also people
whose nervous system is depressed by Or
any reason, are much confined 10 close
rooms, are very liable to this disease. Any
one afflicted by this trouble is not only
leading a miserable life, but the lnfamed
state of the throat renders him especially
liable to acute disease of the throat, such
as diphtheria and quinsy.
For this trouble in any stage Pe-ru-na is
the pink of perfection. If Pe-ru-na were
always used before the lungs became af-
fected 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 and cure by using
Pe-ru-na. The fame of Pe-ru-na in all
mucous infiammations is such that many
doctors and druggists not only prescribe it,
but use it as their own family medicine. AS
soon as its use in such cases is begun, the
phlegm loses its sticky, stringy character,
and becomes at first more abundant,
but easily expectorated. The quantity
grows gradually less, until, after several
weeks use of Pe-ru-na, it ceases alto
gether. The infamed mucous surfaces and
enlarged follicles show immediate improve
ment, and rapidly regain their natural ap-
pearance, by taking Pe-ru-na, without the
use Of any gargie or application whatever
In cases of sore throat, bronchities and
consumption, where cough is a prominent
symptom, it is better to add two ounces of

In cases of dyspepsia and diseases of the
abdominal cavity 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 tue use of Pe-ru-na. 1t has come to be
a wellestablished fact that Pe-ru-na will
cure catarrh in any stage or variety where
the case is not complicated by an organic
disease.
