which all doctors agree, is that it is diff
ficult to cure it. Local remedies may
give relief but they fail to cure perma-
nently. Sprays or snuffs amount to
little or nothing except to give tempo
rary relief.
Catarrh is frequently located in inter-
nal organs which cannot be reached by
any sort of local treatment. All this Ii
known by every physician.
To devise some systemic internal REM
edy which would reach catarrh at its
source, to eradicate it permanently from
the system-this has been the desire Of
the medical profession for q long time.
Forty years ago DIR. Hartman confronted
this problem. He believed then that he
had solved it. He still believes he has
solved it. He cures thousands of people
annually. During all these years Pc
runa has been the remedy upon which
he has relied.
1t was at first q private prescription,
afterwards manufactured expressly for
him in large quantities. This remedy,
Peruna, is now to be found in every drug
store and nearly every home in the land.
1t is the only reliable internal remedy
ever devised to cure any case of catarrh,
however long the case may have been
standing.
