PE-RU-NA A MEDICAL COMPOUND

In any medical compound as much depends upon The manner IN which
I'll compounded as upon the ingredients used.
First, there must be a due proportion of the ingredients Each drug
In the pharmacopeia has its special action. To combine any drug with
other drugs that have slightly different action, the combination must 30
made with strict reference to the use for which the compound Is intended.
The drugs may be well selected as to then efficacy, but the compound
ENTIRELY SPOILEDB BY THE PROPORTION in which they are combined.
1t takes years ard years Of experience TO - over this proportion.
There is no law Of chemistry, Of pharmacy, by VII CT the exact balance or
proportion can be determined. EXPERIENCE is iHE ONLY GUIDE.
In c~ompounding a cctarrh remedy Dr.. Hartman has had many years
experience. In the uGs Of tic various ingredients which compose tho
eatarrh remedy, peruna, he he's learned, little by little, how TO harmonic
the action of each ingredient, how 20 combine tNctl into 4 stable compound,
kcs to arrange them into such nice proportions &C { blend the taste,
the operation and the chemical pccaltarites O. each several Ingredient IN
order to produce a pha-nseG::i.=l product beyond &c criticism Of doctors,
pharmacists Or chemists.
WE REPEAT, THAT rs EUCH DEPENDS OH THE WAY IN
WHICH THE DRUGS ARE COMBINED As DEPENDS UPON THE
DRUGS THEMSELVES.
The compound must present q stability vhichis Dot affected by changes
of temperature, not aG-:ed b. exposure 10 te ah, net affected by age.
1t must be so combined that * viii >:Tan just the came whether used in

A complete list Of the Ingredients Of Pcrrna woaid not enable any
druggist or physician 10 reproduce PeTc-l. IL &c the skill and sagacty by
which these ingredients arc brought together that give Psruna much OF it,
peculiar claims as an ehclcous cltaT-h remedy.
However much virtue each Ingredient Ct Peruna may possess, I'M
value of the compound depends largely upon the manner and proportion
In which they are combined. TIE right ingredients, Fut together rightly,
is the only way a medical compound cen be made Ct real value.
