HALF OUR ills ARE CATARRH.
Proof From All Sections That Pe-ru-na Cures
Catarrf Wherever Located.
Peruna Not a Cnre-All.

Peruna is not 'cure-all;" Ii cures
just one disease-catarrh But since ca
tarrh Is able to fasten itself within the
different organs of the body so 1t Is that
Peruna cures affections of these organs.
But we insist that Peruna cures one
disease only. We claim that Peruna is
the only internal scientific remedy for
catarrh yet devised. We claim that
catarrh is a systemic disease; that Is to
say. it invades the whole system. We
claim that Peruna is a systemic remedy;
that is to say It eradicates catarrh
from the system. Catarrh Is not local
disease Peruna Is not a local remedy.
Since catarrh invades the system. only
a systemic remedy can reach It. This Is,
In brief, our claim in assigning TO the
characterization remedy, Peruna.
Booker T. Washington, President of
Tuskegee College, Tuskegee, Ala. says:
~ have used one bottle of Peruna and
can truthfully say that have never
taken any medicine that has improved
me as much as Peruna."
There Is no medicine that can take Its
place Address The Peruna Medicine

II have been treating myself
for catarrh for about twenty
four years. During that time
have used many different
kinds OF medicine, but since
using your medicines l find
them far superior In every
respect. The tonic effect Of
Peruna on me is truly Won

Few stop TO realize in how
many ways catarrh can affect
the body. Every organ, every
duct, every passage, every
opening OF the human body IL
liable TO catarrh. Peruna is
an internal, systemic catarrh
remedy, and acts beneficially
on all Of the mucous MEM

Consequently It Is equally ef-
fectlve to cure catarrh in any
