Chronic Catarrh-Twenty Years-settled
On Lungs-Could Get No Relief-Per-

New VIENNA, Clinton Co. O.


DR.. s. b. Hartman & Co.-Gents: l
take pleasure in testifying to your
medicines. 1 have used about one
bottle and half, and can say 1 am a
new man. Have had the catarrh
about twenty years. Before 1 knew
what it was it had settled on my lungs
and breast, but can now say 1 am
well. Was in the army, could get no
medicine that would relieve me.
Yours truly,

While it is fact that Pe-ru-na can
be relied on to cure chronic catarrh in
all stages and varieties, yet it is not
often that it will 30 quickly cure case
of long standing as the above. Hence
it is that so many patients fail in find
ing q cure because of their unwilling
ness to continue treatment long
enough. Many people who have had
chronic catarrh for five, ten, and even
fifteen years, will follow treatment for
a few weeks, and then, because they
are not cured, give up in despair and
try something else. These patients
never follow any one treatment long
enough to test it's merits, and
consequently never find cure. 1t is
a we'll known law of disease that the
longer it has run the more tenacious
ly it becomes fastened to it's victim.
The difficulty with which catarrh
is cured has led to the invention of a
host of remedies which produce tenn
porary relief only. The unthinking
masses expect to find some remedy
which will cure them in d few days,
and to take advantage of this false
hope many compounds which have
instant but transient effect has been
devised. The people try these cat
arrh cures one after another, but dis
appointment is the invariable result,
until very many sincerely believe
that no cure is possible.
CATARRH is A SYSTEMATIC DISEASE,
and therefore requires persistent in
ternal treatment, sometimes for many
months, before permanent cure is
effected. The mucous lining of the
cavities of the head, throat, lungs,
etc., are made up of a network of min
ute blood vessels called capillaries.
The capillaries are very small elastic
tubes, which, in all cases of chronic
catarrh, are congested or bulged out
with blood so long that the elasticity
of the tubes are entirely destroyed.
The nerves which supply these capil-
laries with vitality are called the
"vasa-motorn nerves. Any medicine
to reach the real difficulty and
exert the slightest curative
action in any case of catarrh
must operate directly on the
vasa-motor system of nerves. AS
soon as these nerves become strength
ened and stimulated by the action Of
proper remedy, they restore to the
capillary vessels of the various mu-
cous membranes of the body their nor
NAL elasticity. Then, and only then,
will the catarrh be permanently
cured. Thus it will be seen that ca
tarrh is not a blood disease, as. many
suppose, but rather q disease of the
mucous blood vessels. This explains
why it is that so many excellent
blood medicines utterly fail to cure
catarrh.
Colds, winter coughs, bronchitis,
sore throat and pleurisy are all
catarrhal affections, and consequently
are quickly durable by Pe-ru-na.
Each bottle of Pe.ru-na is accompanied
by full directions for use, and is kept
by most druggists. Get your drug
gist to order it for you if he does not
already keep it.
