For Catarrhal Indigestion.

: . 5 tx 81 ID.
Indigestion is most always followed by
catarrh Of the stomach.
B There is no use Of taking remedies to
palliate Indigestion.
and then taking pepsin and other RENE
dies to produce artificial digestion.
The only rational procedure is to cure
the catarrh of the stomach. The catarrh
once cured indigestion disappears, and
there Is no more dyspepsia. Taking arti-
fetal digestants is simply tenporizing
with the difficulty. In this way valuable
time is lost while the catarrh is fasten-
ing itself stronger and stronger upon the
mucous membrane Of the stomach.
A very short course of treatment with
Peruna is sufficient to cure these cases.
Peruna Is recommended by the highest
authorities and the most conspicuous
people in the land. E

BY angel fingers strung.
And golden curIs that fall upon

As they simmer in the west.
