CATARRH Of the respiratory organs
~ is common ailment in Canada for
at least two thirds Of the year.
p This condition ia no doubt caused by
the long, severe winters experienced in
this part Of the continent.
Therefore, when Peruna was dis
covered by Canadian people to be q re-
liable remedy for these catarrhal dis
eases, 1t at once became popular medi-
cine, not only among individuals and
in families. but in the great hospitals,
where 1t was used as q preventative and
relief in hundreds Of cases.
These institutions do not hesitate to
give their endorsement of the remedy
which has been SO helpful in the treat
ment of their poor and sick.
Among these institutions is that of
the Sisters of Good Shepherd, who gave
the following endorsement:
The Peruna Company,
Columbus, Ohio.
Having used Peruna for the past few
months, for our sick and poor, we are
hsppy to say that 1t has given US greas
satisfaction.
The Sisters Of the Good Shepherd,
August 20, 1908. Montreal.
After a continued use Of the remedy,
this institution has found no reason to
change its good opinion of the remedy
and expresses its satisfaction in the fol-
lowing terms:

"Before the treatment I could not

experiencing much fatigue. Now can
walk . mile easily.
Through these three cases we desire
to make known to the public the Of.
ficiency OF your remedy"
Hospital st. John, of st. Johns,
Province of Quebec.
A later letter received from the same
institution reads as follows:
"Three weeks Ago ! wrote to tell
you how satisfactory we found
Peruna. We recommend II highly for
colds. coughs. cafarrh and neuralgia.
:. have used it myself as n tonic with
the best results, taken as directed, half
a tcaspoonful every half hour"
Peruna not only promptly relieves
coughs and colds in their first stages,
but is equally prompt aud efficient for
catarrhal diseases in the chronic stage.
OF course, it is only reasonable to
suppose that great deal less medicine
will be necessary to cure a slight attack
Of catarrh than would be required to
relieve the ailment after 1t had been al
lowed to become chronic.
Directions for taking the remedy will
be found on each bottle, also in DR..
Hartman's book, called "The Ills Of

are very thankful
Sisters of the Good Shepherd
When catarrh once fastens itself upon
the system, it becomes an obstinate dis
ease to eradicate.
A systemic remedy-one that reaches
every internal organ of the body--is an
absolute necessity,
Peruna is Just such q remedy. II
searches out the cause of the disease,
healing and strengthening the mucous
membranes, and thus giving Nature an
opportunity to perform her part of the
restorative process
One OF the many hospitals which
have found Peruna of value in treating
old and obstinate cases of catarrh is the
Hospital st. John, who write, rs
follows:
ave are happy TO tell you that your
Peruna has given US satisfaction. Three
patients have tried it, one IS years old,
Renoui Dupuis, afflicted with catarrh, is
much relieved, more than he has been
for number Of years.

obstinate cough, which half q bottle of
Peruna caused TO disappear.
