It is not like so many other remedies
bottles are used. The longer Peruna is
used in any community, the more popular
it becomes.
Pe-ru.na Actually Cures.
The reason why Peruna has become a
standard catarrh remedy the world over
is simply because 1t cures catarrh. There
Is no other possible explanation of 1t.
It Is simply idle talk for. any one to pre-
tend that advertising can create popu-
larity for a medicine equal to that Of Pee
runa. q Jeff q z2I sE4szw aAll
If Peruna did mot cure catarrh, people
would soon find 1T out. Perhaps, a we'll
worded advertisement might sell a bottle
of Peruna, even though Peruna were no
good. But after a person has bought
one bottle Of a useless medicine, no adyer-
tisement can induce him to buy the second
bottle. If, on the other hand, he finds the
medicine to be what it is recommended
then he requires no further argument OF
inducement.
This exactly explains why Peruna
has become SO popular. 1t cures ca
tarrh. This is an amply sufficient rea-
son why it should become popular
Catalrh is almost universal. Catarrt
is difficult to cure. The doctors do not
care to treat cases Of catarrh at all. II
therefore follows that when remedy
is devised that can be used by any ON
In the home at a moderate cost, sucf
a remedy should inevitably. become
popular.

tie differently than another druggist. The
color would not be the same, or possibly
the taste would be a little different. One
druggist would fix Peruna SO that there
would be a little sediment in it, while an
other would compound it in a way to
maintain 1t perfectly clear.
For years Dr. Hartman used Peruna In
his private practice as a regular prescrip-
ton, and had no thought Of manufactur-
ing and advertising it as a proprietary
medicine.
Forty Thousand Patients. y
DR.. Hartman estimates that he must
have prescribed Peruna for over forty
thousand patients before 1t was advertised
as proprietary, medicine. In fact, cir
cumstances forced DR.. Hartman to manu-
facture the remedy himself in order to in.
sure standard purity and a uniform ap.
psa,ance.

ton where the Doctor practiced medicine

M. Powers and E. w. Clark were dele

Alderman j. H. Duryea wanted to

Such a thing could not be possible If
Peruna contained any drugs Of mar
cotic nature.
Popular for Twenty five Years.
Peruna has been before the public
as a catarrh cure for about twenty
five years. Previous to that time it
was the private prescription Of DIR.
Hartman. For twenty-five years Pc
r,,na has stood the test of every OPP
position.
Made in large quantities to supply the
immense demand for it, it requires the
utmost vigilance to maintain the purity
and excellence Of every single bottle. Sent
as 1t Is to the cold, wintry climate Of
the North, or the hot, torrid climate Of
the South, Peruna must be SO prepared
that neither cold nor heat can change it's
composition or alter its appearance.
North, South, East and West, car loads
of Peruna are being rapidly conveyed to
their destination by hundreds Of railroads.
Not single bottle Of this vast amount
contains a speck Of impurity or the slight
est difference in composition. The con-
! tents Of every bottle are exactly alike.
! All these difficulties have been overcome
and Peruna is furnished to over two mil
lions Of homes, each bottle Is spotless pur-
] ity and pharmaceutical integrity.

Before Peruna was manufactured as a
proprietary medicine, it had been pre-

The Doctor used to practice medicine and
was probably one of the largest practi-
TONERS III the state where he belonged.
Every day he found himself writing his
favorite prescription for catarrh and
all catarrhal ailments. With very little
change this prescription was used year
after year. So frequently did he have oo-
casion to write the formula for Peruna

No medicine that the world has ever
produced has received the unqualified in
dorsernent Of SO many prominent people,
as Peruna. All classes praise Peruna.1:
People of national prominence, who are !,
busy with professional and official affairs
do not usually take time to write letters i
of commendatio But Peruna arouses
such enthusiastic approval as to break
down all precedents in this particular
1t is no wonder when one stops to think
Of it. Catarrh is an insidious disease.
While it does not often make one actually
sick abed, it is very annoying ailment.
It hangs on, year after year. It yields
neither winter nor summer. 1t becomes
q drag and a drain from the vitality,
Disagreement as well as an annoyance.
To be rid Of such disease after repeated
failures to cure it, is sure to awaken feel
ings Of unrestrained gratitude. No ord1-5
nary inducement would have secured che
consent of senators, governors. congress-
men, consuls, bishops, prominent physi~
clans and clergymen of all creeds. Moth!

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, May 14.-To end the de-
moralization of passenger rates be-
tween Chicago and the twin cities all
the lines except the North-W Western
and the Milwaukee will run round-trip
excursions at a rate not exceeding So
or less than 50, If the higher officials
of the various roads approve the plan
of the general passenger agents.
The plan is the outgrowth of the So
excursion rate by the Milwaukee and
North Western roads.
Instead of losing a lot Of money, as
they expected, by making such a low
rate, both roads made net profit of
several thousand dollars, practically
without interfering with their regular
traffic.
To make 1t an object for the other
lines to maintain tariff rates and stop
the various practices Of rate cutting.
it is proposed to let each Of them run
one excursion a month to the twin
cities at a very low rate. This plan
creates new business and does not af-
feet the regular traffic Of any Of the
lines.

Pe.ru-na Contains No Narcotics.

Fortuna contains NO narcotics.
There are a great many catarrh cures
in the world The most of them are
local applications. Few of them are to
be used internally. Unfortunately,
large number of these catarrh remedies.
especially the ones prescribed by the doc.
tors, contain narcotics of some sort. Co
caine, opium, whisky and other narcotics
are used. These remedies give temporary
relief. The patient thinks he is better
right away. In a few weeks. however, he
discovers his mistake. Not only Is his
catarrh no better, but he has acquired the
habit of using some narcotic. This hap
pens In multitude Of cases. Such rem
edies cannot succeed. People find them
out very quickly.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is
that it contains no narcotic of any
kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless.
1t can be used any length of time
without acquiring drug habit. Pc
runa does not produce temporary re-
Suits. 1t is permanent in its effect.
| It has no bad effect upon the system
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause Of catarrh. There are
q multitude Of homes where Peruna has
] been used off and on for twenty years
