CATARRH POISONs.

Catarrh is capable OF changing all
the Efe-giylng secretlons of the body
into scalding fluids, which destroy and
inf1ame every part they come in con-
tact with. Applications to the places
affected by catarrh can do little good
save to soothe or quiet disagreeable
symptoms. Hence it is that gargles
sprays, atomizers and inhalants only
serve as temporary relief. Any medi-
clue to effect a cure must be taken
into the system.
So long as the. irritating secretions
of catarrh continue to be formed so
long will the membranes continue to
be infamed, no matter what treatment
is used. There Is but one remedy that
has this most desirable effect, and that
remedy is Pe-ru-na. This remedy
strikes at once to the root of the Ca
tarrh by restoring to the capillary YES
sells their healthy elasticity. Pe.ru-na
is not temporary palliative, but rad
ical cure. Send Tor DIR. Hartman's
latest book, sent free for short time.
