CATARRH CAUSES CONSUMPTION

w U0I0yeI AOCdtSNs
TIME medical profession has 30 thors
i oughly prejudiced the minds Of the
people against patent medicines that 1t
Is with great reluctance that anyone
can be persuaded to try such . remedy
at first.
Innearly 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 large
multitude Of people who are able to
shake of 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 q cold to
develop into catarrh Of the head. They
allow catarrh OF the head to gradually
become catarrh of the throat.
They still use the DOCTORS medicine OF
some other Intellectual remedy. The
catarrh stealthily spreads down the
bronchial tubes and reaches the lungs.
Then they become alarmed. Faith
in the doctor begins to disappear.
The patient reaches state Of mind In
which he is willing to try almost any-
thinp bottle Of Peruna is sent for.
The first week It produces . decided
change for the better. A few weeks
continued treatment cures the patient.
Thousands Of Testimonials

had given up to die with catarrhsos the

health by the use Of Peruna.
