al have used Peruna and can

the best remedy for catarrEi and
general debility that have ever
used" Yours gratefully,
Mrs. C. H. Buck.
Peruna is applicable to catarrh Of
any mucous surface of the body In all
stages. From the slightest catarrhal
attack or cold to the most chronic or
pronounced case of hypertrophic form
Peruna is specific.
Men and women are subject to ca
tarrh. Women are even more subject to
catarrh than men. This Is due to many
causes. The chief cause is the delicacy
Of her organism, as compared to man.
The extreme sensitiveness Of the mu-
cous lining of every organ of a woman's
body is we'll known to physicians. This
explains why, in part at least, so few
women are entirely free from catarrh.
A vast multitude Of women have
found Peruna an indispensable remedy.
