Importance. men
The most distinguished men
Of the United States have no
hesitation in lending their influence to
assist In letting the public know OF the
merits Of Peruna.
Nearly one-half the people are in some
way affected by catarrh. Therefore 1t
is almost national curse, and 1t is OF
national import that the people should
know of Peruna.
Catarrh ia an American disease.
Peruna is an American remedy.
Catarrh is result Of ohangeable
climate. Peruna Is result Of long and
careful experimentation.
Catarrb enters the system through the
nerve centers and affects the mucous
membranes. Peruna enables the nerve
centers to repel and expel the catarrh
from the system.
Catarrh is systemic disease and
durable only by systemic treatment.
The remedy that cures catarrh must
aim directly at the depressed nerve
centers. This is what Peruna does.
