"Over year ago." he says, "Karl was
taken with st. Vitus' dance and continued
to grow worse during five months he was

HON. SAMUEL L. BLACK.
City of Columbus.
Executive Department,


To Whom 1t May Concern:
I can most oheerfully recommend Peru ma
as of the very greatest possible benefit IN
cases of catarrh and other diseases OF the
mucous membrane. This remedy has es-
tablished itself in the minds of the people
as of the greatest possible worth and genuine
ness.
I have known DR.. Hartman for a num-
of years and am pleased to say that he is one
of the leading citizens of this city, man of
the very highest standing ard character in
the community.
Respectfully, SAMUEL L. BLACK.
The old saying that ga prophet is not with
out honor save in his own country" does not
hold true of DIR. Hartman's great catarrh
remedy-Pe-ru.na. Pe-ru-na is in great
repute, not only in the city of Columbus,
where it is made, but in the county and the
state. The city officials, county officials,
state officials of Ohio have given Pe-ru-na the
highest endorsements that words could con-
vey. 1t is the greatest known catarrh rem
edy. 1t cures catarrh wherever located.
Send for free copy of the National Witness,
which is filled with home testimony concern
ing Pe-ru-na as catarrh remedy. Address
The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Company,
Columbus, Ohio.
