every other part. Yet, however good
your food may be, its nutriment is de-

To all such people DR.. Hartman's
remedy, Peruna, comes as a great
boon. Not only is it more successful
i'll curing catarrh than the treatment
of the catarrh specialists, but it 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 of
winter.
Peruna is not guess, nor an ex-
pertinent; it is an absolute, scien-
tiic certainty. Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located. Peruna has no
substitutes-no rivals. Insist upon
having Peruna. Let no one persuade
you that some other remedy will do
nearly as we'll. There is no other
systemic remedy for catarrh but Pc
runa.
