HAD CATARRH THIRTY YEARS
Congressman Gives Praise to Pe-rl-na for His
Recovery. 0
Neglected Colds Lead to Ca
tarh--NegleCted Catarh
Becomes Chronic.

The fact that catarrh will continue
to affiict one person for thirty years
shows how chronic the disease really is.
When catarrh has once fastened itself
upon the human system, it shows .
disposition to remain.
Catarh IS not sef-Cwative nor selT-el;m-
NATIVE. Il continues as long as L IS a.
lowed to remain.
Catarrh is naturally chronic disease
and continues to grow worse, not bet.
ter.
For thirty years Cong. Meekison had
catarrh, and yet he experienced cure
by the use of Peruna.
Surely, if Peruna will cure a case OF
catarrh that has run thirty years, it
will cure more recent cases.
There are probably ten million of unCwed
cases of catarrh in the United States alone.
What a multitude OF victims this isl
What an ocean of encouragement and
unhappiness What Niagara of an
guish and suffering!
In all probability Peruna would
quickly cure every one of these cases.
Taken according to the directions, Pc
runa rarely fails to cure any case of
chronic catarrh.
Indeed, if it ever fails, it is because
of some complication entirely one side
from catarrh.
Troubled With Catarrh a Lfetime-Cured
by Pe-ru-na.
Mrs. William Mann, sos Comley
Ave-, Niles, Mich, writes:
"After having been troubIedwith catarrh
ali my life, Peruna cured me.
II was 30 bad that / had lost the
sense of smell when was about fifteen
years old. My head and nose were
continually filled so that i had to
breathe through my mouth.
"There was constant dropping in
my throat. My general health was
miserable. felt tired all the time.
"About two years ago began to take
Peruna and feel Ike a different person.
Now can breathe through my nose with
out any trouble, and the soreness in my
throat IS all gone.
"Peruna has done 80 many wonders
for me that I gave. it to my little
daughter who had bronchitis and it
helped her. cannot praise Peruna
enough for what it has done for me-"
Used Pe-ru-na as Catarhai Tonic.
Hon. w. E. Andrews, ex-congress-
man from Nebraska, writes from the
Treasury department, Washington, D.
c., as follows:
II can cheerfully recommend your
preparation, Peruna, as a healthfuE
tonic, and successful remedy for ca
tarrh in its various FORMS"

glimpse of the vast array of unsolicited

The future influence Of the AmerI-
can woman at home and abroad: At
home, hold it can not change. What
ever 1t has been so far, such it will
be in the future. 1t rests on American
,mperialism; that is, on the very life
wealth. The American woman can
not form that ultimate unit Of the
state which the French woman has
long succeeded in building up, chiefly
through her own exertions. The socio-
logical unit in France is the family,
az in England it is the Individual In
America this unit will, as heretofore,
continue to be of a commercial or
political character. The woman does
not enter into its composition. Hence
women in America will be neither the
subjects nor the inspiration of great
male poets or artists. On the other
hand, the coming great American poet
or artist will be a woman. Much as
prophecies are to be dreaded. do not
hesitate to risk this prediction. 1t will
q
cause new shivers of poetic delight.
1t will be as original in poetry as
Chopin was in music. 1t will be ap-
preciated in Europe more than in
America. But the main social institu-
tons of America will suffer no change.
Lastly, the future influence Of the
American woman abroad is a vanish
Ing quantity. Continental Europe is
the very reverse OF America. in that
It is not, and never will be, imperial
Ted. Continental European women,
therefore, being organic parts of their
respective countries, firmly control the
chief arteries Of social life In Europe,
and mere lady visitors from America
can no more affect continental Europe
than can Europeans visiting rhe ORR
emit alter oriental customs. In England,
on the other hand, American women
change first themselves. then their
English husbands.-Success Magazine.
