A Letter From the Executive Office Of Oregon.

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of congratula-
ton and communication testifying to
the merits of Pe-ru-na as catarrh rem
edy are pouring in from every state in
the Union. DR.. Hartman is receiving
hundreds of such letters daily. All
classes write these letters, from the
highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman,
the preacher-all agree that Pe-ru-na is
the catarrh remedy of the age. The
stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as their greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi-
mony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only alb
solute safeguard known. a cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds,
to cure colds. is to cheat catarrh out of
its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures ca
tarrh but prevents. Every household
should be supplied with this great rem,
edy for coughs, colds and so forth.

admirer OF Pe-ru-na. lie keeps it con.
