tarrhal affections j. ID. Botkin. .
This is case of catarrh OF the stom-
ach which had run for twenty-five
years, according to his statement, and
Pcruna has ut once come to his relief,
promptly accomplishing for him more
benefit than he had been able to find
in all other remedies during quarter
of n century.
1t stands to reason that n man OF
wealth and influence, like n Congress-
man of the great United States, has left
no ordinary means untried and no stone
unturued to find cure.
IL such cures as these do not verify
the claim not only that dyspepsia is duo
to catarrh of the stomach, but also that
Peruna will cure catarrh of the stomach,
it is impossible to imagine how any
evidence could do SO.
If YOU do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DIR. Hartman, giving .
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj

In catarrh of the stomach, as well rs
catarrh of any part of the body, Peruna
is the remedy. AS has been often said
if Peruna will cure catarrh OF one part,
it will cure catarrh of any other part OF
the body.
Catarrh is catarrh whcver located
and the remedy that will cure 1T any
where will cure it everywhere.
