piled to several doctors was not able
to find a cure. Finally / learned of the
remedy, Pe-ru-na, through q friend who
had used it. / took Pe-ru-na for twenty
two weeks, and am now entirely cured.
Ihave every reason to think my cure
permanent one, as it has been year
since then. / can heartily recommend
Pe-ru-na as catarrh remedy; it Will
cure when all other remedies fail"
Thomas Gahan.
There are thousands of people who do
not believe that catarrh can be cured.
The reason for this is, they have had
chroniccatarrh many years. They have
been taught that catarrh is a local dis
case. They have tried TO cure their
catarrh with local remedies. They have
used sprays and gargles, inhalations and
fumigations, and still they have catarrh
just the same. These things sometimes
help them temporarily, but they soon
relapse into their former condition
again.
The trouble with all this is, that ca
tarrh is not local disease. 1t is sys-
temic disease, and can only be cured by
the faithful use of systemic remedies.
Catarrh once in the system, cannot be
removed by using local remedies. The
very best that local remedies can do is
to assuage some disagreeable symptoms.
Pe-ru-na is systemic catarrh remedy.
1t meets the enemy in its stronghold,
within the system. Gentle and persist
entity it eradicates the disease from the
system. Pe-ru-na is the only systemic
catarrh remedy yet devised which cures
catarrh. Up to date there has been no
other remedy that will, in any degree,
take the place of Pe-ru-na. For free
