Catarrh may affect any organ-the
head, nose or throat, as well as the
stomach or kidneys.
In summer the digestive organs are
most commonly affected. In winter
the respiratory organs fail victims to
catarrh.
Catarrh sometimes commences with a
cold which faEtens itself upon the
mucous membranes of the body.
Then 1t develops into catarrh and the
patient begins to sneeze, cough and
ache. He loses his appetite, he is tired
and his sleep is not as refreshing as it
used to be.
Peruna is especially intended for the
relief of these catarrhal affections.
