CATARRH CAUSES CONSUMPTION
Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure Ca
tarrh Wherever Located.

THE medical profession has SO thor
4 oughly prejudiced the minds of the
people against patent medicines that it
is with great reluctance that anyone
can be persuaded to try such remedy
ut first.
In nearly every one of the thousands
of remarkable cures that Peruna has
made the patients had to be persuaded
by friends very strongly before they
could lay aside their prejudice against It.
a large multitude, of course, hold out
against the persuasions of friends and
die simply because they have allowed
their minds TO be poisoned against this
very excellent remedy.
But fortunately there is another largo
multitude of people who are able to
shake off their prejudice and try Peruna
before it is too late. These people are
rarely disappointed. They generally try
other remedies at the beginning of their
troubles. They allow a cold to develop
into catarrh of the head. They allow
catarrh OF the head to gradually become
catarrh of the throat. They still keep
using the DOCTORS medicine, or some
other Intellectual remedy. The catarrh
stealthily spreads down the bronchial
tubes and reaches the lungs. Every body
then becomes alarmed. Faith in the
doctor begins to disappear. The patient
reaches state of mind in which he II
willing to try almost any thing. A bot.
tie of Peruna is sent for.
The first week 1t produces a decided
change for the better. A few weeks
continued treatment cures the patient.
Then another happy man or woman Is
added to the long list of people who are
praising Peruna.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factor results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DIR. Hartman, giving =
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.
