Peruna has become to be so universally
recognized as a specific cure for catarrh,
acute or chronic coughs, colds, bron-
chitis. that it is amazing that any one
should continue to suffer on with such
a terrible malady, neglecting to take d
course of treatment with it. Of course
it may be that some people have not Yet
come to know of this great catarrh rem
edy, but it is strange that it should be
so after such multitudes have been
cured by 1t and so many papers have
heralded it from one end of the country
to the other. But the news travels
faster and faster every month. and no
one can fail to see that the time Is not
far distant when Peruna will be known
in every household in the land.
