cInes, It cannot be said that there are more
than two or three which are actually spe-
cifcs, and without doubt the most reliable
is Peruna. 1t always cures when faithfully
and conscientiously used. 1t not only
cures catarrh Of the head and throat, but
catarrh OF the stomach, liver. kidneys,
bowels, bronchial tubes, lungs, and, In fact,
any of the organs of the human body.
II is indeed a dreadful case Of catarrh,
wherever located. that Peruna cannot cure.
or at least greatly help. 1t may be pro-
cured at all the drug stores and It should
be given a faithful trial by those who have
tried in vain elsewhere to get relief.
A book on catarrh and catarrhal diseases
of Ga instructively illustrated pages will DO
sent free to any address by the Peruna
Medicine Co. of Columbus, o.
II you do not derive prompt and salts

statement Of your case, and he will be
