Is CATARRH CURABLE?
Letters From Joe Wheeler, Governors,
Senators and congressman.

Hon. Myron RI. McCord, Ex-Governor
of New Mexico, in letter to DR.. Hart
man, from Washington, d. c., says:
"Af the suggestion of q friend !
was advised to use Pe-ru-na for ca
farrh, and after using one bottle !
began to feel better I'm every way.
1t helped me I'm many respects. !
was troubled with colds, coughs,
sore throat, ETC., but as soon as J
had taken your medicine I began
to improve and soon got weH !
take pleasure I'm recommending
your great remedy to all who are
afflicted with Cafarrh."
M. III. McCorc,
Ex-Governor of New Mexico.
1t is only a question OF time and per-
sistence that the cure of nearly every
case of catarrh can be effected. Pe-ru-na
taken without interruption long enough
will remove every symptom, when the
cure can be relied on as being perma-
nent. 1t is advisable for old catarrh
cases to correspond with DR.. Hartman
during the course of their treatment, as
he is often able tosuggest some detail of
great worth TO the patient. All letters
are answered free of charge, and multi
tudes are finding cure In this way who
have failed to get relief elsewhere.
Hon. Dan. a. Grosvenor, Deputy Audi
tor for the War Department, in a letter
written from Washington, d. c., says:
"ALiow me to express my graft
fudc to you for fhe benefit derived
from one bottle of Pe-ru-na. Ore

changes and am now as well as
ever. Besides being one of the
very best spring fonics 1t is an sx-

Deputy Auditor for War Department.

some time, and am enjoying bet

years. attribute The change to
Pe-ru-na, and recommend Peru

MrS. Col Hamilton,
DR.. Hartman is publishing book con-
tanning several hundred testimonials
with portraits. The testimonials in this
book cover a variety of ailments, and are
all given in the words of the writer.

No wonder the American soldier IL o
friend OF Pe-ru-na, when such a re-
nowned officer as General Wheeler gives
Pe-ru-na his hearty endorsement.
Every ono connected with the army and
navy can have no reasonable doubt as
10 the merits OF tho remedy. No rem
cdy ever yet devised has received such
unstinted culogy from so many re-
nownod statesmen and military men as
Pe-ru-na.
Hon. p. d. S. Pinchbacls, Ex-Governor
of Louisiana, regarding tho merits OF
Pe-ru-na, writes from Washington, DC:
al heartily concur with Senator
McEnery, of my Sfafe, In recon-
mending Pe-ru-na. IL has been
commended to me by persons v no
have used IL as q fine tonic, and
especially good for the too COM
mon complaint of cafarrh.
p. q. S. Pinchback,
Ex-Governor of Louisiana.
Pc-ru-na is n systemic catarrh remedy.
1t meets the enemy in its stronghold,
within the system. Gentle and persist
emily it cradicates tho 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 tho place of Pe-ru-na.
Hon. II. G.. worthington, Congress-
man from Nevada, and ex-Minister to
Argentine Republic, says in letter
written to DR.. Hartman from Washing
ton, d. c.:
"AIiow me to express my graft
fude to you for the benefit derived
from your remedies. Ihave taken
one bottle of Pe-ru.na and 1t has
benefited Immensely q case of ca
farrh of some months standing"
II. q. Worfhingfon,
Congressman from Nevada.
Whatever form the catarrh may have
assumed; whatever symptoms 1t may
have produced; whatever damage 1T has
accomplished, Pe-ru-na is the only hope,
the only cure. Pe-ru-na cures all cases
of chronic catarrh promptly and perma-
nently. There need be no failures.
Hon. Judson w. Lyons, Register of
the United States Treasury, in n letter
from Washington, d. c., says:
al find Pe-ru-na to be an ex-
ceIIenf remedy for the catarrhal
affections of spring and summer,
and those who suffer from de-
preston from the heat of the sum-
mer will find no remedy the equsi
of Pe-ru-na.
