An ordinary sore throat, by frequent re-
currence, is apt to become chronic, so that
the throat continues to be sore nearly all the
time. This form of sore throat is known i'm
medical literature as Follicular Pharyngitis.
1t is caused by excessive use of the voice,
by confinement in close rooms i'm bad air, by
undue exposure to cold, or by over-indulg
ence in smoking, but more frequently by
catarrh and diphtheria. The symptoms are
frequent hawking, especially in the morn
ing, expellng from the throat with great
difficulty stringy mucous, which produces
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. Instead of
the smooth, pinkish look that the throat has
in health, it looks angry, red and uneven,
with occasional patches of white mucous adj
herring to it. 1t is sure to make much speak
ing, singing or laughing painful, and the
voice will grow slowly 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
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
ganic disease of any kind. People who, for
30 al
rooms, are very liable to this disease. Any
one afflicted by this trouble is not only lead
ing miserable life, but the nhamed state
of the throat renders him especially liable
to acute disease of the throat, such as diph-
iberia and quinsy.
For this trouble i'm any stage, Pe-ru-na is
the pink of perfection. If Pe-ru-na were
always used before the lungs became affect
ed it would not fail TO cure single case.
Numerous cases that have used gargles, wet
packs, external and internal applications of
all sorts, without avail, find immediate re-
lief and cure by using Pe-ru-na. The fame
of Pe-ru-na i'll all mucous inflammations is
such that many doctors and druggists not
only prescribe it, but use it as their own
family medicine. AS soon as its use i'm such
cases is begun, the phegm 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
altogether. The inflamed mucous surfaces
and enlarged follicles show immediate i'm
provement, and rapidly regain their natural
appearance, by taking Pe-ru-na, without
the use of any gargle or applications what
ever.
In cases of sore throat, bronchitis uand
consumption, where cough is prominent
symptom, it is better to add two ounces of
rock candy to each bottle before usieg, then
take according to directions on the bottle.
In cases of dyspepsia and diseasessof the
abdominal cavity and pelvic organs, the di-
rections on the bottle are sufficient Cases
of chronic catarrh in the head, throat, bron-
chal tubes, stomach and pelvic organs, of
ten, fifteen or even twenty years standing,
are constantly being cured by theSuse of
Pe-ru-na. 1t has come to be wel-estab-
lished fact that Pe-ru-na will curescatarrh
in any stage or variety where the case is not
complicated by any organic disease,
