ME season of catching cold is upon US.
The cough and the sneeze and the

ME season of catching cold is upon US.
The cough and the sneeze and the
nasal twang are to be heard on every
hand. The origin of chronic catarrh, the most
common and dreadful of diseases, is cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh gen
orally begins. A person catches cold, which
hangs on longer than usual. The cold gen.
orally starts in the head and throat. Then
follows sensitiveness of the air passages
which incline one to catch cold very easily.
At last the person has a cold all the while
seemingly, more or less discharge from the
nose. hawking splitting frequent clearing
of the throat, nostrils stopped up. full feel
ing in the head, and sore, infamed throat.
The best time to treat catarrh is at the
very beginning. A bottle of Peruna prop
erly used, never fails to cure a common
cold. thus preventing chronic catarrh.
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1903-02-05

While many people have been cured of
chronic catarrh by single bottle of Peruna.
yet, as rule. when the catarrh becomes
thoroughly fixed more than one bottle is
necessary to complete a cure. Peruna has
cured cases innumerable of catarrh of
twenty years standing. 1t is the best, if
not the only internal remedy for chronic
catarrh in existence.
But prevention is far better than cure.
Every person subject to catching cold should
take Peruna at once at the slightest symp-
tom of cold or sore throat at this season OF
the year and thus prevent what is almost
certain to end in chronic catarrh.
