There are people who become uncon-
sciously addicted to the butter habit;
that IS to say. they like butter and
gradually eat a little more as the
months go by. until they find they have
consumed, each meal. quite a quantity
Of fat that they have not vitality
enough to properly digest
This indigested substance causes
more OF less catarrh of the stomach
and trouble with the bowels.
The remedy.Of course, is to largely
cut down the allowance Of butter. and
for two or three nights sup nearly a
quart Of very not water. just before go
ing to bed. This washes out the
stomach and bowels and gives them re-
neWed vitality. Then the person
should. for a few mornings at least,
rely on good, rich cream. with Grape
Nuts, for breakfast, letting out the
butter altogether. The cream gives all
the fat needed
Grape-Nuts and cream furnish an
e4eal portion of any breakfast.

Ing with stomach or catarrhal trouD-
les. .''-R. w. Wilcox.
All over this country are hundreds OF
people who are suffering from catarrn
OF the stomach who are wasting prec-
ious time, and enduring needless sut1er-
ing. The remedies they try only tenn
porarily palliate the distress, but never
effect a cure. Remedies for dyspepsia
have multiplied so rapidly that they
are becoming as numerous as the leaves
of the forest and yet dyspepsia con-
tinues to flourish in spite Of them all
This is due to the fact that the cause
of dyspepsia is not recognized as ca
tarrh.
If there is a remedy in the whole
range of medicinal preparations tnat IS
in every particular adapted to dyspep-
sia- that remedy is Peruna. Inis rem
edy is well nigh invincible in these
cases.
DR.. Hartman. President of The Hart
man Sa1itarium, Columbus O., says
In my large practice and correspon-
dence have yet to learn or a single
case of atomic dyspepsia which has not
either been greatly benefited or cured
by Peruna."
NO one suffering with catarrh of the
stomach or dyspepsia, however slight
can be well or happy. 1t is the cause
Of so many distressing symptoms tnal
it is a most dreaded disease Peruna
acts Immediately on the seat Of the
trouble, the infiamed mucous mem
branes lining the stomach and lasting
cure is effected.
If you do not derive prompt and sat
fsfactory results from the use OF Pc
runa write at once to Dr. Hartman
and he will be pleased to give you MS
valuable advice gratis.
