Peruna is able to cure catarrh wher.
ever 1T may be located by it's direct
action upon the mucous membranes.
Catarrh means infiamed mucous men,
branes. Peruna acts at once to cleanse
and invigorate the catarrhal condition
of the mucous membrane no matter
where 1t may occur in the body. Its
action is the same on the mucous lining
OF the nose as on the mucous lining Of
the bowels. 1t cures the catarrhal in
nammation wherever 1T may occur.
DIR. r. Robbins, Muslxogee, /. T.,
writes:
"Peruna is the best medicine l know
OF for cough and to strengthen n weak
stomach and to give appetite. Beside
prescribing it for catarrh, have ordered
1t for weak and debilitated people, and
have not had n patient but said it helped
him. 1t is an excellent medicine and
1t fits so many cases.
u have large practice, and have q
chance to prescribe your Peruna.
hope you may live long to do good to
the sick and suffering"
we say Peruna cures catarrh. The
people say Perana cures catarrh. Promi-
nent men and women all over the
United States from Maine to California
do not hesitate To come out in public
print to say that Peruna is what it is
recommended to be, an internal. sys-
temic eatarrh remedy that cures catarrh
wherever it may be located.
Dr.. N. c. Gees Experience.
DIR. M. c. Gee is one of the physicians
who endorse Peruna. In a letter written
from 5l3 Jones street, San Francisco,
Cal, he says:
"There Is q general objection on the
part of the pracficing physician to ad.
vOCafe patent medicines. But when
any one medicine cures hundreds OF
people, II demonstrates It's own value
and does NOT need the endorsement oil
the profession.
"Peruna has performed so many
wonderful cures In San Francisco that
am convinced that IL is a valuable
remedy. Ihave frequently advised its
use for women, as / find IL insures
regular and painless nenSfruafiOn,
cures ieuCOrrh0a q md oval ian troubles,
and builds up the entire system. Iais0
consider II one of the finest Cafarrh
remedies know Of Ihearti!y endorse
your medicine. "-.-M. c. Gee, M. d.
Women are especially liable to pelvic
catarrh, female weakness as 1t is COM
monty called. Especially In the first
few weeks of warm weather do the dis
agreeable symptoms female weakness
make themselves apparent. In crisp,
cold weather chronic sufferers with pei
vic catrrrh do not feel SO persistently the
facilitating effects of the drain upon
the system. but at the approach Of
summer with its lassitude and tired
feelings, the sufferer with pelvic catarrh
feels the need of a Strengthening tonic.
Peruna is not only the best spring
tonic for such cases but il persisted in
will effect complete cure. Write for q
copy of Health and Beauty" written
especially for women by DIR. Hartman.
If you want to read of some cures also,
write for copy of Facts and Faces"
That will surely convince you that our
claims are valid.
II you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad.
vice gratis.
