Why Old People are Especially Liable
to Systemic Catarri,.

When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is
almost universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so Indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that entirely meets
these eases. Nothing but an effective
systemic remedy can cure them.
