There are thousands Of men and wom-
en- who rely on Peruna to tide them
over the trying ordeal Of the first warm
weather When once the benefit of Pc
r,na is discovered it is always kept on

Peruna strengthens weak nerves, not
by temporarily stimulating them. but
by removing the cause of weak nerves

that lasts. Remove the cause; Nature
will do the rest. Peruna removes the
cause.
Charles B. Scott, County Clerk, FLOYD

II have tried PeruEa rs n tonic and
have found it of inestimable value to

- ATARRH usually begins a. a
u. cold in the head or throat, and
~ is neglected until it becomes
chronic; then it begins to dawn. on the
victim that he has catarrh. Unless he
Is very foolish, indeed, he will not rest
easy until the catarrh is entirely cured
Thousands pay no attention to 1t until
it is too late.
If Peruna Is used the cold never be-
comes chronic, and hence catarrh is pre-
vented. But after catarrh has become
thoroughly established Peruna win cure
1t. but it will take much longer Even
In cases where the catarrh has already
attacked the lungs and the symptoms
of consumption have shown themselves
Peruna will cure. A great many cases
OF genuine consumption have been cured
with Peruna after the patient had been
given up to die. 20

WOMEN THE WORLD OVER
ARE TALKING ABOUT PE-RU-NA.

49, HE women are all talking about
Peruna. OF course they are.
~ Why should they not? Peruna
is the remedy that cured them. If they
have a cold. Peruna cures them. They
found that out by experience.
II they are hoarse or have a cough,
they find Peruna an unfailing remedy.
Weak lungs and even the first stages CT
consumption, Peruna promptly restores,
and then there are a host of women who
have slight arrangement of the
stomach and digestive organs All these
arrangements are of catarrhal nature.
Peruna comes to the rescue at once. A
very short course of Peruna is sufficient
to put the stomach right and to make
the assimilation of the food perfect.
But this Is not all. This does not ex-
actly explain why the women especially
are talking about Peruna. Men, the
same as women. have found Peruna
useful in the above mentioned ailments.
The reason that Peruna is such special
favorite with women is something more
than all this.
Women are subject to pelvic catarrh
This condition las been called all sorts
OF names and is often referred to under
the general phrase female diseases. Pc
CuicSS lueSe cures
them because 1t cures catarrh wherever
located. The nature of most of these
ailments is catarrhal.
Catarrh is liable to attack any organ
of the body. 1t is especially liable to at
tack one or more organs OF the female
pelvis. No wonder women talk about
Peruna. No wonder they think it is the
greatest medicine in the world.
Mrs. NJ. i. Jones Of Burning Springs,
Ky, writes ~ follows:
Eve have been using Peruna for some
tire, and have no hesitancy in recon-
meLding it for the 'One thousand and
one ailments of humanity. No family
should ever be without it, for it is an
InfGilirs cure for colds, and it is an
excellent remedy to prevent and relieve
Group.
And to speak from q standpoint of
experience, 1 can candidly say that it is
the remedy for female weakness las I
am one Of the many unfortunates in
this respect). From a personal test and
from the testimony Of many others. 1
shall not hesitate to recommend it, espe-
cially to all suffering women
"Peruna has gained full confidence and
a permanent stay in our home"-Mrs.
NJ. +. Jones.
Most women feel the need OF tonic to
counteract the facilitating effects Of
summer weather. Peruna is such n
remedy. 1t cures all catarrhal condi-
lions.
The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1903-03-15

Catarrh is systemic disease, durable
only by systemic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the nerve centers. This is what Peruna
does. Perura Immediately invigorates
the nerve centers, which give vitality to
the Mucous membranes Then catarrh
disappears; then it is permanently cured.
Hon. Mark H. Dunnell, National
Hotel, Washington, d. c.. writes:
Your Peruna being used by. myself
and many of my friends and acquailt-
ances, not only as Il. cure for c:ltarrh,
but also as an admirable tonic for phys
ical recuperation, gladly recommend
it to all persons requiring such rene
dies."-Mark II. DunneI.
