Peruna is known from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Letters OF congrat atuiation and
commendation testifying to the merits OF
Peruna as a catarrh remedy are pouring
in IRON every State in the Union. DIR.
Hartman is receiving hundreds of such
letters daily. All classes write these let
tiers, from the highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan,
the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the
preacher-all agree that Peruna is the ca
tarrh remedy of the age. The stage and
rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their great
est enemy, are especially enthusiastic in
their praise and testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh Ca.
tarrh is well nigh universal; almost omni-
present. Peruna is the only absolute safe
guard known. A cold is the beginning Of
catarrh. To prevent colds, TO cpre colds,
is to cheat catarrh out OF its victims. Pc
runa not only cures catarrh but urevents
it. Every household should be supplied
with this great remedy for coughs, cold-
and so forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Peruna. He keeps it contina
ally in the house. In recent letter 10
DR.. Hartman he says:

with a large number Of undesirables
that IS, people with no pretense to
what is vulgarly called a stylish man
ner. The hostess is not to blame: cir
cumstances compel her to invite these
people. But at n time a hostess paid
as much attention to her guests ac-
complishnlents in department as to
their character before inviting them to
her house.
AT a private dance, how seldom one
sees a girl make a graceful courtesy to
her partner! Usually she Toes no more
than nod in a way that looks shocking
ly familiar. AS for the men-well, a
quarter Of a century ago II saw more
