Catarrh of the Longs the
First Stage of Consamp-
ton.
So All Medical Authorities
Agree.

Judge Durham, a kell-known local
Judge of Greensboro, Ga, had an eX-
perience with Peruna well worth recit-
ing. A report had become current
among the judges friends that he was
threatened with consumption. 1t was
feared for a time that Georgia was to
lose one of its most prominent and in
fiuential citizens.
1t was also reported that the judge
had failed to get any relief from any
of the medical aid at his command,
that he had made use of the now world
famous remedy Peruna, and made a
prompt recovery. The affair created
quite a sensation in medical circles es-
pecially, and the many friends of Judge
Durham were not only exceedingly
gratified at his recovery, but We're en-
thusiastic in their praises of the rem
edy that had brought him relief.
The public Importance of the judge
together with the prominence of his
many friends, as well as the startling
and dramatic features of the uneFpect-
ed cure caused one Of our leading news
papers to make inquiry into the facts.
The following written statement from
the Judge himself sets forth the facts:
