DR.. Llewellyn Jordan, medical exam
liner of the U. S. treasury department,
graduate of Columbia college, and who
served three years at West Point, has
the following to say of Peruna:
"AIlow me to express my gratitude
to you for the benefit derived from
your wonderful remedy. One short
month has brought forth a vast change
and 1 now consider myself a well man
after months of suffering. Fellow
sufferers, Peruna will cure YOU"
A constantly increasing number of
physicians prescribe Peruna in their
practice. 1t has proven its merits go
thoroughly that even the doctors have
overcome their prejudice against So
called patent medicines and recommend
it to their patients.
Peruna occupies a unique position in
medical science. 1t is the only in
ternal systemic catarrh remedy
known to the medical profession today.
Catarrh, as every one will admit, is the
cause of one-half the disease which
affiicts mankind. Catarrh and ca
tarrhal diseases aff1ict one-half of the
people of the United States.

I have frequently advised its use for
women, as l find it insures regular and
painless m~enstruation, cures leucorr-
hoea and ovarian troubles, and builds
up the entire system. 1 also consider
it one of the finest catarrh remedies 1
know of."-M. c. Gee, M. D.
Catarrh is a systemic disease cur
able only by systemic treatment. A
remedy that cures catarrh must aim di-
rectly at the depressed nerve centers.
This is what Peruna does.
Peruna Immediately ~invigorates the
nerve-centers which give vitality to the
mucous membranes. Then catarrh dis
appears. Then catarrh is permanently
cured.
If you do not derive prompt and sat-
isfactory results from the use of Peruna
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis. Address DR.. Hartman,

writes:
"Peruna is the best medicine I know
of for coughs and to strengthen a weak
stomach and to give appetite. Besides
prescribing it for catarrh, L have ord
cred it for weak and debilitated people,
and have not had a patient but said it
helped him. 1t is an excellent medi-
cine and it fits 80 many cases.
