Peruna is known from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. Letters of congratulation and COM
mendation testifying to the merits of Pc
runa as a catarrh remedy are pouring in
from every State in the Union. DIR. Hart
man is receiving hundreds of such letters
daily. All classes write these letters, from
the highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan,
the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the
preacher-all agree that Peruna is the ca
tarrh remedy of the age. The stage and
rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their great
est enemy, are especially enthusiastic in
their praise and testimony.
Amy man who wishes perfect health must
be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is
we'll nigh universal; almost omnipreseut.
Peruna is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh.
To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat
catarrh out of its victims. Peruna not
only cures catarrh, but prevents it. Every
household should be supplied with this
great remedy for coughs, colds and so
forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Peruna. He keeps it continu-
