HALF our ILLS ARE CATARRH.
Peruna Cures Catarrh Wherever Located.
Peruna Not a Cure.All.

Peruna Is not a"cure all "; 10 cures lust
one disease-catsrrh. But since catarrh
Is able to fasten itself within tho differ
emit organs of tho body, so 1t is that Pc
runa cures affections of these organs.
But we insist that Pcruna cures one dis
ease only. We claim that Peruna is the
only internal, scientific remedy for ca
tarrh yet devised. We claim that ca
tarrh is systemic disease; that is TO
say, 1t invades tho whole system. We
claim that Pcruna is systemic remedy /;
that Is to say, IL eradicates catarrh from
the system. Catarrh Is not local dis
case; Peruna is not q local remedy.
Since oatarrh invades the system, only
a systemic remedy can reach it. This Is,
in brief, our claim in assigning to the
disease-catarrh-our remedy, Peruna.
There Is no medicine that can tako its
place. Address The Peruna Medicine
Co, Columbus, o., for free catarrh book.
