The immediate cause OF Senator

Chronic gastritis and Inflammation OF

the trouble.
Senator Quay some months ago re

and. with extreme care. set about pre-

Senator Quay's illness began about
n year ago. II was recurrence OF
the trouble that beset him during
the latter part OF 1900 and the early
days of January. 1901. when he was
undergoing the strain OF desperate
fight for collection to the senate.
He celebrated his SEVENTEEN birth
day at Beaver last fall. and at the
time seemed in excellent health. The
loss OF weight, however, was constant
ly on his mind. He forsook his du'
ties in the United States senate and
betook himself TO Florida. hoping that

HX. u. S. Senator NJ. c. Butler from
Il South Carolina, was Senator from
that State for two terms. In "A
recent letter TO The Peruna Medicine
Co., from Washington, ID. c., says:
~ can recommend Peruns for dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble. 4 have
been using your medicine for short
period and I feel very much relieved.
IL Is indeed a wonderful medicine be-
sides a good fonic. M. c. Butler.
The only rational way TO cure dys-
pepsia is to remove the catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. 1t cures catarrh
and leaves the stomach to perform diges-
ton in "A natural way. This is vastly
better and safer than resorting TO arti-
fetal methods or narcotics.
Peruna has cured more cases OF dys-
pepsia than all other remedies com
bined, simply because il cures catarrh
wherever located. If catarrh is located
in the head, Peruna cures il. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat o.
bronchial tubes, Pcruna cures it. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach,
Peruna cures it, as well in this location
as in any other.
Pcruna is not simply a remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is II catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because IT Is
generally dependent upon catarrh.
