vic diseases have no idea that their
trouble is due to catarrh. The majority
of the people think that catarrh is a dis
ease confined to~the head alone.
This is not true. Catarrh is liable to
attack any organ of the body; throat,
bronchial tubes, lungs, stomach, kidneys
and especially the pelvic organs.
Many a woman has made this dis
coyery after a long siege of useless treat
ment: She has made the discovery that
her disease Is catarrh, and that Peruna
can be relied upon to cure catarrh
wherever located.
