TO YOU for Peruna. Miss Kate Brown.
A neglected cold is frequently the
cause of death.
1t is more often, however, the cause
of some chronic disease.
There is not an organ in the body but
what is liable to become seriously dc
ranged by neglected cold Diseases of
the kidneys, bladder and digestive or
gans are all frequently the result OF a
neglected cold.
Hundreds of dollars arc spent on doc
tors and medicines trying to cure these
diseases, but until the true cause of
them is discovered, there will be no
use in using medicine.
Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhUa medi-
cine and constipation medicine is of no
good whatever when catarrh is the
cause. The catarrh must be treated.
The cause being rc.noved, the derangc-
ments will disappear.
Peruna cures catarrh OF the digestive
organs, the urinary organs or any Of
the internal organs.
