CATARRH SYMPTOMS
AS Described by Dr. Hartman in a Recent
Lecture.

''The symptoms vary according TO the
place where the catarrh is located. Ca
tarrh in the head-nOse stopped up;
pain in forehead; scabs in nose. bad
breath; snoring; sneeZing; wateTy eyes.
Catarrh in the thrOat-vOice husky or
bOarse; tickling in throat; hawking;
splitting up; sore throat and enlarged
t0nsils. Catarrh of the stomach-in-
digestion; tongue coated; water brash
fullness after eating; hawking and spit
ting after meals; dizziness and irregu-
lar appetite. Catarrh Of the bronchial
tubes-cOug-h; pain in chest; gradual
loss of flesh, cough worse night and
morning; tightnesS in upper portion Of
chest; and sometimes might sweats.
This form of catarrh viii soon end in
consumption if not cured
DR., Hartman used Pe-ru-na in over
thirty thousand cases before it was in
trOdUced to the general public as a ca
tarrh remedy. Pe-ru-na as a remedy
for chronic catarrh, whether in the
head, nose, throat, lungs, stomach, kid
neyS or bladder, has become known all
over the civilized portions Of North
America. The reasons for which Pc
ru-na has taken the lead of all other ca
tarrh remedies are: First, il never
fails to cure when properly used; sec
ond, it permanently cures instead of
6ANiAi6 ACAiipOAu4g 4C4Ac1, IIIll u, II cures

fourth, it is composed entirely OF vege-
table products and is perfectly harm
less; fifth, the personal advice of DIR.

tarrh can be had free of charge by let
