Mrs. George W. Taylor of Eaton, Gibson
county, Tenn. in writing for recent pub
LEGATION, states: NEARLY two years-ago
was confined to my bed with chronic
diarrhea, which had been running on for
six years. I had tried everything I had
heard of and consulted several Dhysi-
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, l 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-liver oil. When the doctor
called again he did not think there was any
chance for my recovery; and, being au hon
est man, told my husband privately that it
was useless for him to continue his calls. rs
it would only be bill for him 10 pay, with
no benefit to me; for, in his opinion. was
beyond all help, That same evening my
husband brought me bottle OF Pe-ru-na
l began taking it the next day according to
directions, and began to improve at once.
''My neighborS have told nc since I
have gotten well that the doctor said I
would not live over three weeks, and was
likely to be dead in three days; but in
three weeks was able to sit up some I
took three bottles OF Pe-ru-na, and felt
better than I had for two years. In the
fall took another bottle, and last spring I
took another. That is the last l have
taSen-five bottles in all OF course
could not qtat the laudanum all at once and
my friends &ought 1 never would after
having taken Il so long. But bought my
last ounce OF Ian lanum one year. ago to-day,
and did not talSeRu very littIaof that; and
to-day 1 have NJ signs of my old disease.
I can do anything ever sShld and eat any
thing without The Aast %hconvenience: and

ASSUMING many forms, and uses
many DISCUSSES. It is capable of setting
up in the body such variety of derange-
ments that there are large group of dis
eases, commonly thought to be dissimilar,
but which are really different forms of ca
tarrh. The different names by which these
catarrhal affections have come to be known
have the effect of leading most people to
suppose each one to be an entirely different
disease. To illustrate: What is generally
known as "a cold'' Is really acute catarrh
of the sporadic variety. Epidemic
catarrh assumes three distinct phases,
known as influenza, distemper and Ia
grippe, each one presenting different symp-
toms, yet there is no essential difference in
their nature or successful treatment. In
fammatlon of the eyes and middle ear are
simply catarrh of the mucous lining of
these organs. Pharyngitis and laryngitis
(sore throat) are both catarrh, although
the symptoms produced by them are
quite different. Bronchitis. catarrh of the
%t,l ND &c ~
majority of cases but cat2rrh of the lungs.
Dyspepsia, diarrhaa, dysentery, in1amma-
ton of the bladder and other pelvic organs
are nearly always due to catarrh of these
parts.
It is established beyond all question that
Pe-ru-na is by far the most celebrated, if not.
the only specific remedy for catarrhal dis
eases. The dose and times Of taking the
remedy differ according TO the variety OF
catarrh for which it is taken. If it be q
commend cold, wineglassful Of Pe-ru-na,
taken in hot water, at the beginning of the
attack, followed by a tablespoonful every
three hours until the symptoms all subside,
is the proper treatment. In cases OF Ia
grippe distemper, and influenza, the dose
is . tablespoonful every hour for adults,
and q corresponding less dose for children.
In cases of sore throat, bronchitis and
consumption it 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
diarrhGa 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 cured by
the use of Pe-ru-na. 1t has come to be u
well-esuablished TACT that Pe-ru-na will cure
catarrh in any stage or variety where the
case is not complicated by any organic dis
ease.
y valuable pamphlet Of thirty-two pages,
setting forth in detail the treatment OF
catarrh in every phase of the disease, will
be sent free TO any address by The Pe-ru-na
Drug Manufacturing Company of Columbus,
Ohio. This book should be in evely house
hold, as it contains great deal of reliable
information as to the cure and prevention
of all catarrhal and kindred diseases.
