OUT OF IMMEDIATE DANGER.
Mrs. Mckinley COnvalescing. md
For the Present the Danger
Line is Left Behind.

Washington, June 19.-Doctors
Johnston and Rixey held a consulta-
tion at the White House, at the con-
clusion of which DR.. Johnston pro-
nounced Mrs. Mckinley out of danger
and convalescing. He said there mty,
of course, be a recurrence of her trou-
bic, but for the present the danger
is past.
DR.. Johnston said that the blood in
lection had disappeared entirely.
DR.. RiXey, although evidently en-.
couraged by the improvement in Mrs.
McKinley's condition, was somewhat
more conservative in his statement
than DIR. Johnston. He thought it
scarcely safe to say that she was en-
tirely out of danger, as her extreme
weakness might precipitate a relapse,
hut her condition was quite satisflc-
tory.

| 1t is this condition that DR.. Hartman
calls systemic catarrh. The whole sys-
tenn is saturated with catarrh. Thisdis-
covery marked an important advance in
the history of medical science. The
medical profession had long been CROP
ing to discover the meaning of the stub
born and distressing after-effects of la
grippe. All remedies seemed alike in
| adequate.
AS soon as DR.. Hartman announced
that 1t was his belief that the after
effects Of la grippe was simply sys-
| temic catarrh, a great advance was made
in the treatment of these cases. 1t now
only remained to find reliable remedy
for systemic catarrh.
Here a new difficulty arose. Catarrh
had been regarded by many physicians
as local disease and treated solely by
local remedies. Such physicians knew
of no systemic remedy for catarrh.
Other rphysicians regarded catarrh as
blood disease and had been in the habit
of treating it with blood medicines,
which could be of no possible use in
systemic catarrh.
For a time Peruna enjoyed the dis.
tinction of being the only systemic ca
tarrh remedy known. 1t was not even
claimed by anyone that there was an
other remedy for this exasperating con-
dition.
Since then, however, a great many
remedies have been proposed for sys-
temic catarrh, and q great deal of val
liable time wasted in experimenting
with other remedies. But 1t still re-
mains true that Peruna is the only spe-
cific remedy for the after-effects of la
grippe. The demand for this remedy,
in consequence of the present epidemic
Of la grippe, is enormous.
Mr. P. Lowery, proprietor City Hotel
Albany, Texas, says: Being advised to
try Peruna for la grippe and asthma,
did so with good results. had been
feeling very unwell for a long time, and
had asthma quite bad till came West,
when got better of the asthma, but was
not well. tried a great many remedies
for it, but nothing was able to cure me.
. took three bottles of Peruna and 1
am happy to say that it is the best med
icine ever used. 1 am satisfied that
Peruna is good medicine, and as such
have commended it to several of nv
friends with good results. 1t is seldom
L give testimonial, but think this due
you. 1 hope others may be benefited
through you and your medicines.
Every one should read Dr. Hartman's
latest lecture on la grippe. This lecture
will be sent free by The Peruna Medicine
Company, Columbus, Ohio.
