CATCHING COLD. How prevented-How Cured-Hy the Renowned Medical Author and Physician, Dr. Hartman.

~ ATCHING cold Is really the acute O stage of catarrh. A sudden chilling
 of the surface of part of the body drives the blood to the interior of tho body, and its presence in unusual quan- titles causes temporary congestion of some organ, which may continue long enough to produce the disturbance call- ed . cold" The mucous membranes of the respiratory tract are oftenest dam aged by this rush of blood to the warmer parts of the body because of their loose structure, which affords little or no sup port to the delicate vessels turgid with an unusual supply of blood. Peruna acts directly on the vasa-motor systems of nerves, which give tonicity to these over crowded vessels. and enables them to re- tAlin their usual elasticity, and thus pre- vent further derangement
 Chronic catarrh Is so undoubtedly and directly the result of an ordinary cold that 1t would be quite correct to call chronic catarrh a settled or old cold. At least one-fourth of the inhabitants north of the fortieth degree of latitude are more or less afflicted with catarrh in some form. To say that this vast multitude of people Is miserable is only to give mild statement of the case.
 An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a
 .4 Pound of Cure.
 The treatment of colds ought to begin with the appearance of the first symp- toms. Since a cold has the invariable effect of producing congestion of some mucous surface, the remedy for 1t ought to operate there also. The compound, Peruna. was devised with especial refer ence to this effect. It operates by in- creasing the circulation in the mucous membranes of the whole body. and. no matter where the cold may have settled. whether in the head. throat, lungs, kid news or urinary organs, Peruna will im- brane and stop the discharge.
 There is no fact of medical science better established than that a teaspoonful of Peruna before each meal during the winter season will absolutely protect a person from catching cold. Now if this Is true (and there is no doubt of it,) thousafIds of lives would be saved. and tens of thousands of cases of chronic ;catarrh prevented, by this simple pre- caution within reach of every one.
 "A Cold, the First Step Toward chron-
 ic Catar:h. After a cold has been contracted tea spoonful of Peruna every hour will shortly cure it. leaving no trace of 1t be- hind. After chronic catarrh has become established, or the first stages of con sumption have been reached, 1t will take much longer to effect a cure. It seems strange that as well known and as we'll established as these facts are that any one should neglect to profit by them. and yet no doubt there are many who pay lit- tie or no attention to them and go on sHHf oh aat and consumption.
 Peruna kept in the house and properly used will, therefore. not only act as a safeguard against the ailments which re- suit from sudden cold waves, but will also prove a sure remedy for this class of ailments.
 Pe-ru-na Cannot Be Initiated.
 Some things may be successfully imi- tated, but Peruna cannot be. Every one purchasing Peruna should look out Tor limitations. Examine each package care fully. If you have ever used Peruna or if you have ever tasted 1t. you are not in the slightest danger of being misled by these imitatio but all those beginning the use of Peruna should beware.
 Beware of limitations. Believe no one who tells you that he has a remedy that Is making the same cures that Peruna is making.
 If you have any doubt as to the genu- ineness of the bottle of Peruna you are using, write to Dr. Hartman and the fraud. if there be any, will soon be de- tected.
 The Tenacious Character of Chronic
 Catarh.
 Perhaps the majority of physicians be- lieve chronic catarrh to be incurable. but no wonder. It is a hard disease to cure Many physicians cannot cure 1t, at least only temporarily. A very few have had the extensive experience to cure catarrh permanently
 Among these few stands Dr. Hartman. His fame in curing chronic catarrh Is known far and .wide. His principal rem edy Is Peruna. He has used this remedy for nearly forty years. It cures catarrn permanently-old cases slowly but surely; new cases quickly and lastingly. There need be no failure.
 ] Coughs colds. la grippe. influenza, bronchitis, and all diseases of the throat. chest. and lungs are promptly curablc by Peruna.
 As a remedy for winter diseases 1t has no equal.
 Men of Prominence Do Not Hesi:ate
 to Endorse Pe-ru-na.
 Over fifty members of Congress twen- weight Generals of our Army, Governors. Admirals. Mayors. prominent lawyers. physicians. business men. club men. It. and many other men of national reputa- tion endorse Peruna.
 Thousands of people in the humber walks of life use it as a family medicine. Almost all the diseases of winter are due to catarrh; Peruna cures catarrh wher- ever located.
 Promptness of Peruna Unequallsd.
 Peruna can be relied upon to cure slight ailments with a promptness that Is un- equaled by any other remedy. It first invigorates the system. in- creases the appetite. then the patient be- gins to gain flesh. hope takes the place of despondency, and all the mischievous symptoms which the chronic catarrh has produced will disappear one by one in the reverse order of their appearance. It has cured thousands upon thousands of thls haFrassing and distressing malady.
