Hon. David Meekison is well known,
not only in his own State, but through
out America. He began his political
career by serving four consecutive
terms as Mayor of the town in which
he lives, during which time he became
widely known as the founder of the
Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He
was elected to the Fifty-fifth Congress
by very large majority and is the
acknowledged leader of his party in his
section Of the State.
Only one flaw marred the otherwise
complete success of this rising states
man. Catarrh with it's insidious ap-
proach and tenacious grasp, was his
only unconquered foe For thirty
years he waged unsuccessful warfare
against this personal enemy. At last
Pe-ru-na came to the rescue. and he
dictated the following letter to DR..
Hartman as the result:
81 have used several bottles of Pc
ru-na and feel greatly benefited there
by from my catarrh of the head | feel
encouraged to believe that if | use it
= short time longer | will be able to
fully eradicate the disease of thirty
years standing. Yours truly.
