A SEVERE WINTER
The Cause of Suffering and An In.
crease of Diseases.

This winter has been the most severe
for many years. North, South, East
and West intense cold ant billiards.
have prevailed. This will surely CAUSE
great deal Of sickness and death.
Chronic catarrh and consumption
always begin by catching cold, Thou
sands have started the road toward a
lifetime OF misery from chronic catarrh
or sure death from consumption. 1t is
not to late yet to be saved and restored
to a life of healthy activity. Pe-ru-na
will do it. Itnever fails to quickly
cure chronic c;tarrh less than two
years old. Of course Pe-ru-na cures
thousands and thousands of cases of
chronic catarrh that have run for many
years. but in cases that are of more re-
cent origin it cures, quickly, certainly
and permanently. Every case of cold
orcough that have resulted from the
effects of our severe winter can now be
cured ina short time by Pe-ru-na. Not
a single one need fail.
All those taking Pe-ru-na who desire
the advise of DR.. Hartman about their
cases should write, giving age, sex, de-
sease and time of sickness, and he will
answer free A few weeks treatment
now will prevent years of suffering.
and in some cases death. Address the
Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Com
pany, Columbus, Ohio, for free book
on catarrh colds, cough, la grippe and
consumption.
For free book on cancer address DR..
