a Disguised Case of Chronic oatarsh.


son county, Tennessee, in writing for
a recent publication, states: "Nearly
two years ago L was confined to my
bed with chronic diarrhosa, which had
been running on for six years. had
tried every thing l had heard of and
consulted several physicians, with lit
tie or no relief. sometimes took 100
drops of laudanum in a day-the dose
never being less than thirty drops.
April, 1890, l was not able to be up
auy longer, and, not knowing any
lily physician. He came and prescribed
codliver oil. When the doctor called
again he did not think there was any
chance for my recovery; and, being an
honest man, told my husband pri-
vately that it was useless for him to
continue his calls, as it would only be
a bill for him to pay, with no benefit
to me, for, in his opinion, was be-
yond all help. That same evening my
husband bought me bottle of Peru
ma. began taking it the next day
according to directions, and began to
improve at once.
"My neighbors have told me since
/ have gotten we'll that the doctor
said L would not live over three
weeds and was likely to be dead in
three days, but in three weeks [ was
able to sit up some. l took trhee bot
ties af Pe-ru-na and felt better than 1
had for two years. In, the fall / took
another bottle, and last spring / took
another. That is the last | have
taken-five bottles in all. OF course |
could not quit the laudanum all at
once, and my friends thought | never
would after having taken it so long.
But 1 bought my last ounce of
laudanum one year ago today,
and did not take but very
little of that, and today I have
no sign of my old disease. l can do
anything / ever could and eat any
thing without the least inconvenience;
and when l say if it had not been for
Pe-ru-pa 1 would have been in my
grave nearly two years ago, do not
think exaggerate in the least"
The above case of chronic catarrh Is
fair example of chronic catarrh OF

for years, reducing it's victim to skel.

tarrhal affections have come to bt

people to suppose each one to be az
entirely different disease. To Illus
trate: What is generally known as
"a cold" is really acute catarrh of the
sporadic variety. Epidemic catarrf
assumes three distinct phases
known as influenza, dis.
temper, and lagrippe, each
one presenting different symptoms
vet there is no essential difference in
their nature or successful treatment.
Inflammation of the eyes and middle
ear are simply catarrh Of the mucous
lining of these organs. Pharyngitls
and laryngltis (sore throat) are both
catarrh, although the symptoms pro-
duced by them are quite different.
Bronchitis, catarrh of the bronchial
tubes and consumption is in the ma
jority of cases but catarrh of the lungs.
Dyspepsia, diarrhna, dysentery, in
| flammation of the bladder and other
pelvic organs are nearly always due
to catarrh of these prrts.
1t is established beyond all ques-
ton that Pe-ru-na is by far the most
celebrated, if not only specific remedy
for catarrhal diseases. The dose and
times of taking the remedy differ
according to the variety of catarrh for
which it is taken. If if be a
common cold, wineglassful of
Pe-ru-na, taken in hot water,
at the beginning of the attack,
followed by tablespoonful every
three hours until the symptoms all
subside, is the proper treatment. In
cases of la grippe, distemper, and in
fluenza, the dose is tablespoonful
every hour for adults, and a CORES
ponding less dose for children.
In cases of sore throat, bronchitis
and consumption it is better to add

tie before using; then take according
to directions on the bottle. This is
the proper way to use Pe-ru-na in all
cases where cough is permanent
symptom. In cases of dyspepsia and
chronic diarrhoea 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 Peru-na. 1t has come to be a
we'll established fact that Pe~ru-na
will cure catarrh in any stage or
variety where the case is not compli-
Gated by any organic disease.
