Catar1h as Cause for Diseases OF the
Pelvic Organs.

1t is a popular impression that ca
Garrh is disease confined to the mu-
Gus membranes lining the nose, throat
and bronchial tubes, and other OF the
respiratory organs. Of late years
catarrh OF the stomach, and even of
the bowels, is sometimes mentioned.
The real fact is that all mucous men,
branes, wherever located, are subject
to catarrh, and unless recognized and
properly treated chronic ailments are
sure to follow.
The urinary and sexual organs OF
both sexes have for their lining deli
cate mucous membrane lining which
is exposed to many vicissitudes caicu-
lated to cause catarrhal inflammation
of these organs. To those who are &C.
xuainted with these facts it is no sur
prise to learn that at least one-fourth
of the human family have either
slight or serious arrangements of
these organs, which are, without
doubt, nothing more or less than ca,
tarrh, and the only reason the true
nature of their troubles is not Gus.
pected is the general superstition that
catarrh does not affect these parts.
No organ of the whole body is more
frequently affected by catarrh than
the bladder, which is sometimes so
severe as to excite great suffering and
alarm, and again go light as to scarce
ly attract notice. If this affection is
not promptly treated the catarrhal
Inflammation is liable to follow up the
uterers to the kidneys and SET up Ca
tarrh of these organs, which is almost
always mistaken for chronic Bright's
disease of the kidneys.
Thus it is that catarrh of these or
gans is able to produce pain and
weakness in the back, constant,
tired out feeling, cold feet and legs,
chatting and smarting, dragging and
pulling sensations in the
lower part of abdomen and
across the hips, and many other dis
agreeable symptoms. Scores of peo-
pie so afflicted never suspect that the
disease of all their trouble is catarrh.
They often continue to doctor, year
after year, without getting any relief,
because the true cause is not known.
Their disease Is called gravel, or
weakness of the kidneys, or gleet, OF
female weakness, which mistaken no.
tions, leads them to follow wrong
treatment. All persons afflicted with |
any of the above symptoms should |
suspect catarrh as the cause, especi. |
ally if they are subject to catarrh of |
the head or throat, and begin treat
ment accordingly. A great many
cases of spasmodic structure and en-
larged prostate are due solely to
irritation, and would cease
II the catarrh was properly treated.
TREATMENT.
This partly explains why the rem
edy Pe-ru-na has gained such great
in the treatment of all dis
sases of the genito.urinary organs be-
cause of it's almost magical influence
over all catarrhal diseases. The cura-
i've effect of Pe.lu-na in all diseases
Of the kidneys and bladder is too we'll
known to need comment, and, when
u is remember that the majority of
hese affections are of catarrhal origin
md that Pe-rC-na is specific for
wherever located, the fact Dis
explained.
In taking Pe.ru-na for catarrhal af.
ectiOns of these organs a tablespoon
ul four times each day is sufficient
or cases of ordinary severity, but
here are acute cases for which it is
necessary to take six doses each day
% get the full benefit of the treat
nent. The benefits which follow the
lse of Pe-ru-na in these cases is
prompt and great relief at once ex-
but in all chronic cases it
s necessary to continue some time to
ret permanent cure. 1t is no longer
N experiment to use Pe-ru-na for this
lass of arrangements, as it has been
o extensively and successfully used
or them that it now is recognized
wherever it has been used as REM
dy that never fails.
