To all such people DR.. Hartman's
remedy, Peruna, comes as a great
boon. Not only is it more successful
in curing catarrh than the treatment
OF the catarrh specialists, but II is
within the reach of every person in
this land. Peruna can be bought at
any drug store. and is a remedy
without equal for catarrh in all
forms, coughs, colds, bronchitis. con-
sumption, and all climatic diseases al
winter.
Peruna is not a guess, nor an ex-
pertinent: il is an absolute, scien-
tific certainty. Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located. Peruna has 10
substitutes-no rivals. Insist upon
having Peruna. Let no one persuade
you that some other remedy will do
nearly as well. There is no other
systemic remedy for catarrh but Pc
runa.
