y HE season of catching cold is upon
us. The cough and the sneeze and
the nasal twang are to be heard on
every hand. The origin of chronic ca
tarrh, the most common and dreadful OF
diseases, is a cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh
generally begins. A person catches cold,
which hangs on longer than usual. The
cold generally starts in the head and
throat Then follows sensitiveness of
the air passages which incline one to
catch cold very easily. At last the per-
son has a cold all the while seemingly,
more or less discharge from the nose,
hawking, splitting, frequent clearing of
the threat, nostrils stopped up, full feel
ing in the head, and sore, infamed throat.
The best time to treat catarrh is at the
very beginning. A bottle of Peruna
properly used, never fails to cure a COM
mon cold, thus preventing chronic ca
tarrh.

While many people have been cured
Of chronic catarrh by single bottle of
Peruna, yet, as a rule, when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly fixed more than
one bottle is necessary to complete
cure. Peruna has cured cases innumer-
able of catarrh of twenty years stand
ing. 1t is the best. if not the only inter-
nal remedy for chronic catarrh in ex
istence.
But prevention is far better than cure.
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the slight
est symptom Of cold or sore throat at
this season of the year and thus prevent
what is almost certain to end in chronic
catarrh.
