Colds Lead to Chronic Caterrh.
A common cold is acute catarrh, which
quickly becomes chronic catarrh if al
lowed to remain.
Every cold snap leaves in its trail
thousands of casesof catarrh, many Of
whom for want of an effective remedy,
will suffer from this disease the rest Of
their lives.
Is there anything that can be done to
prevent all this?
In the first place, Peruna used at the
proper time will prevent taking cold.
In the second place, Peruna will cure .
cold in from two to five days.
Again, Peruna will cure catarrh quick.
ly in the first stages, and finally Peruna
will also cure chronic catarrh, if used
properly and persistently.
Peruna kept I'm the house and prop
erIy used will therefore not only act as
a safeguard against the ailments which
result from sudden cold waves, but
will also prove q SUR remedy for this
class of ailments.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use Of Peruna,
write at once to DIR. Hartman, giving a
full statement Of your cas- and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.
