Neglected Catarrh Becomes
Chronic.

r HERE are some things which arc 40
| sure as fate. and can be relied on 10
. occur to at least one-half of the
human family unless means are taken to
prevent.
First. colds not promptly cured are sure
to cause catarrh.
Second. catarrh improperly treated Is sure
TO make life short and miserable.
The Destructive Power Of Catarrh.
Catarrh spares no organ or function OF
tho body.
II is capable of destroying sight. taste,
smell, hearing digestion. stomach, bowels
bronchial tubes. lungs, liver, kidneys, blad-
der and other pelvic organs.
Curative Power of Pe-ru-na.
There is probably no fact in popular med
zeal science better established than that a
teaspoonfu Of Peruna before each meal
will surely lessen the danger OF catching
cold.
Now, since this is true. and experience
bears il out most forcefully. thousands OF
lives would be saved and tens OF thousands
Of cases of chronic catarrh prevented by
this simple precaution within the reach OF
every one.
Peruna is not simply a palliative to re-
lieve some Of the distressing symptoms. IL
brings permanent relief.

in attendance upon my wife, who was SUI
fering from acute indigestion.
while on a visit to some friends she had
an attack and prepared to go for the doc

Il gave her a dose. repeating it in half
hour and her pains passed away. Since
that time my wife has gained thirty pounds.
