M. q. Gee, Nj. ID.
Catarrh is systemic disease durable
only by systemic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is
what Peruna does.
Peruna Immediately iuvigorates the
nerve-centers which give vitality to the
mucous membranes. Then catarrh dis
appears. Then catarrh is permanently
cured.

A constantly increasing number OF

it to their patients.
Peruna occupies unique position in
