I@ATARRII OF the kidneys is a very
~ much neglected disease.
tisnot until the disease has firm
hold upon the kidneys that the patient
begins to realize that there is some de-
rancement Of these organs.
The slight backaches, the feelings Of
lassitude, and other warning symptoms
OF kidney disease are overlooked.
They are MT serious enough TO detain
the patient from his regular work.
Even when he discovers that the kid
news are affected, he does not recognize
the dimculty as being caused by ca
tarrh.
Catarrh is sometimes so very gradual
in its approach and lis earlier symptoms
cause such slight discomfort that it IS
not noticed.
However, when it is once firmly seated
IN the kidneys, it becomes a difhcult
disease to eXterminate.
Indeed, catarrh OF the kidneys Is more
serious than catarrh affecting some Of
the other organs OF the body.
In the kidneys, tits liable to terminate
in Bright's Disease or diabetes. both Of
which are recognized as very serious
ailments, If not fatal.
The thing to be done, when catarrh Of
the kidneys Is discovered, is to take
some internal, systemic catarrh remedy,
one that reaches the very source Of the
catarrh and removes the cause Of the
diniculty.
such a remedy has been found in
Peruna. 1t reaches catarrh, no matter
where il may be r-----------7
located in the PE-RU-NA FOR
body-whether in KIDNEY DISEASE
tine more exposed L-----------------.-----a
membranes Of the nose and throat, or
whether in the remotest part of the
kidneys.
That Peruna is at once the safest and
most reliable remedy for catarrh ~ the
kidneys is proven by the many testi-
monials written by those who have ex-
perienced its benefits.
The testimonial given here Is only a
specimen Of the many testimonials on
our records. pertaining TO the relief af-
forded by Peruna in severe cases OF kid-
ney trouble.
