Pe-ru-na is specific for climatic dis
eases, Climatic affections find their way
into the system through the mucous
membranes. A healthy mucous men,
brane protects the system from climatic
diseases. No disease germ or bacteria
can enter the system through a healthy
mucous membrane. Pe-ru-na acts directly
upon the mucous membrane OF the whole
