HALF OUR ILLS
ARE CATARRHAL
IN NATURE.
Catarrhal Diseases are Most
Prevalent in Winter.
is THERE NO WAY OF
ESCAPE FROM THEM7
Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure
Catarrh Wherever
Located.

There are some things which are as
sure as fate, and can be relied on to occur
TO at least one-half of the human family
unless means are taken to prevent.
First, the climate of winter is sure to
bring colds.
Second, colds not promptly cured are
sure to cause catarrh.
Third, cstarrh improperly treated is
sure to make life short and miserable.
Catarrh spares no organ or function of
the body. 1t is capable of destroying
sight, taste, smell, hearing, digestion,
secretion, assimilation and excretion.
It pervades every part of the human
body, head, throat, stomach, bowels,
bronchial tubes, lungs, liver, kidneys,
bladder and other pelvic organs.
That Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located is attested by the following tes-
timoniais sent entirely unsolicited to
DR.. Hartman by grateful men and wo-
men who have been cured by Peruna:
Catarrh of The Head.
Mr.. D. R. Ramsey writes in recent
letter from Pine Bluff, Ark, the fol-
lowing:
any son, Leon Ramsey, four years of
age, suffered with catarrh of the head
for eighteen or twenty months. He took
one bottle of your Peruna and could
hear as good as ever. "-D. r. RAMSEY.
Catarrh of The Nose.
Mr.. Herman Ehlke, 952 Orchard street,
Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
al am entirely cured of my catarrh of
the nose by your Peruna. My case was
q severe one."-Herman EhIke.
Catarrh of The Throat.
B. H. Runyan, Salesville, o., writes:
al suffered with catarrh of the throat
for five years. I was induced to try
Peruna. have used five bottles and am
perfectly well. "-B. H. Runyan.
Catarrh of The Ear.
Mr.. Archie Godin, 1888 Beech street,
Fitchburg, Mass, writes:
"Peruna has cured me of catarrh of
the middle ear. feel better than I have
for several years. :" Archie Godin.
