Catarrh Is, as a rule, simply a prolonged cold which effects the mucous membrane lining the lungs, or any or gan affected. Peruna Is an effective rem- edy. as it acts on the vasa-moter system of nerves with benefit. It increases the tone of the blood vessels and causes them to act in their normal healthy con- dition. have been much pleased with the cures that have come under my mo- tice, and am satisfied that you have placed a remedy before the' suffering which Is at once valuable. reliable and destined to become very popular with the great masses of the people who have small means and want to secure a remedy which they can depend on.

But are not my claims validf Arc not my agreements logical? If they are not, show me my fault. If they are. you ought to accept my conclusions"
 q will think this matter over before attempting to make you any reply. It don't seem possible that all this can be true; but now as to heart disease. What are you going to do with the claim that Peruna will cure heart disease?' Heart Disease Often Due to Dys-
 pepsia.
 If you mean by heart disease, infiam- nation of the covering or lining of the heart (pericarditis and endocardltis), then I agree with you that Peruna will not cure heart disease. Neither will any other medicine. But you know, doctor, that there are a thousand ane one functional disturbances of the heart caused by irri- tation of the pneumo-gastric nerve, which the people call heart disease. These dis turbances of the heart are even more diff ficult to bear than organic disease of the heart. and Peruna will cure them simply because 1t cures any catarrhal affection of the digestive tract. Most of the so- called heart disease is dyspepsia at bot tom. as you know"
 "Yes, I grant you that, but have heard it frequently stated that Peruna will cure organic disease of the heart" Enthuiastic Statements Concerning

 But, of course, I am not responsible for all the statements that the ! opis make. yet even this proposition vii. bear a little scrutiny before 1t is set aside as being wholly false. Now, doctor, tell me what you would do If you had a case of organic disease of the heart"
 q would do all could to equalize the circulation of the blood. sustain the vital powers. and keep up the nutrition of tho patti snt."
 "Is that all you could do for your pa- tient?'

I am only claiming that 1t will cure one disease-catarrh. Can you find any fault with that, doctor?" 4.
 well no; I cannot. But according to my information in the case, people clalni that they have been cured of rheumatism malaria, nervous prostration, neuralgia and heart disease. Now, if your remedy cures one disease only, how do you ac- count for it that it has the reputation or curing these other ailments?
 Pe-ru-na Enriches the Blood and
 Increases the Vitality
 ''Weu. in the first place, nervous pros tration and neuralgia are each dii ectiy ity bv producing perfect diges ion. This dependent upon the blood and low state of vitality.

Thus you see 1t might be that Peruna will cure all such cases of nervous prostra- ton and neuralgia simply because it cures catarrh.'
