SIT deserves all the praise be-

The fifth step, the catarrh spreads to
the bronchial tubes and lungs. 1t then
becomes consumption in its first stage.
At any time during the progress OF
the catarrh, from the first onset or
the cold to its final settlement in the
lungs, Peruna can be relied upon to
stop the disease. 1t cures entirely.
Even after consumption has become
thoroughly developed, many cases nave
found in Peruna a permanent cure.
After they have been given up. by
physicians to die of consumption, Pc
runa has cured them. We have hun
