DIR HARTMAN SAYS.
Now is the Time to Guard Against Cold
The First Cold Weather.

Now is the Time to Guard Against Colds
The First Cold Weather.
In recent lecture at the Surgical
Hotel DR.. Hartman is reported as say
inc that no one need catch cold if he
is willing to give the matter Slight at
tention; that cold is the beginning of
chronic catarrah, consumption, disease
of the liver, stomach, kidneys and pelvic
organs. All this could be prevented
by taking his advice. The doctors
professional duties compelled him, for
many years, to be much on the road
night and day, by carriage, railroad
and steamboat. During all this time
he never caught cold This could
not have been done without Peru-na,
he says. At the slightest evidence of a
cold few doses Of Pe-ru-na invarablc
check it.
This is especially seasonable advice,
for the cold winter is here, with its
storms, sudden changes, slop, rain and
snow. Thousands of people will con-
tract diseases from which they will
meyer recover, by catching cold. Dr.
Hartman's advise should be needed.
Pc.ru-na cures catarrah of any stage or
location. 1t is the most popular
remedy for la grippe, coughs, colds,
etc.
Send for a free copy of an illustrated
book on catarrah. 1t contains sixty
four pages of valuable instruction.
Address The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufact-
uring Company, Columbus. o Ask
your druggis' for a copy of The Peru
no Almanac for 1896.
