Catarrh has already become a ma
tional curse. Its ravages extend from
ocean to ocean.
More than one-half of the people are
affected by it. 1t has become such a
serious matter that it has passed the
boundaries of the medical profession
and become a national question. Sem
ators are talking about it; Congress
men are discussing it.
They are not only considering the
extent and chronic nature of the dis
ease, but the possibility of finding ma
tional remedy to meet this national ca
lamity.
The catarrh remedy, Peruna, seems
to be the main expectation in this d.
rection.
DR.. Hartman, President of the Hart
man Sanitarium, devised the remedy,
Peruna, over forty years ago, and the

is indeed the most remarkable fish yarn
that ever happened in this section of the

On Thursday, July 3, the strange phe-
