~ATARRH Of the head, nose and throat
~ are very frequent. These victims
crowd the offices of catarrh special
lists in vain. Mr.. Chas. c. Roe once be-
longed to this unhappy class. A course
Of Peruna entirely cured him. -,
There are two things that the whole
medical profession agree about cor
corning catarrh. TIE Hrst rs that ca.
tarrh is The most prevalent and on7ni-
present disease to which the people in
the United States are subject. All
classes 0fPsople havsit. Those who
stay indoors much rad those who go
outdoors much. Working classes have
it and sedentary classes have it,
The doctor finds catarrh to be his con-
slant and ever-p present foe. 1t compIicates
nearly every disease he is called upon to
treat.
The second thing about catarrh on which
all doctors agree is that it is difficult to
cure it. Local remedies may give relief.
but they fail to cure permanently. Sprays
or snuffs amount to little or nothing ex-
|cept to give temporary relief.
Catarrh is frequently located in inter-
nal organs. which cannot be reached by
any sort of local treatment. All this is
known by every physician.
To devise some systemic internal rene
dy which would reach catarrh at its
