 We found Perunn n relief in several cases.
 We can say 1t is Il good tonic and we are very thankful.
 Sisters of the Good Shepherd.
 When catarrh once fastens itself up- on the system it becomes an obstinate disease to eradicate.
 A systematic remedy-one that reaches every internal organ of the body--is an absolute necessity
 Peruna is just such a remedy. It 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 treat ing old and obstinate cases of catarrh is the Hospital St. John, who write, as follows:
 We are happy to tell you that your Peruna has given us satisfaction. Three patients have tried it, one 6S years old, Renoui Dupuis afflicted with catarrh. is much relieved. more than he has been for a number of years.
 "A young girl, n years old. had an obstinate cough. which half Il bottle of Pcruua caused to disappear. As to myself two bottles have con yinced me that Peruna is magnificent as a tonic.

 Hospital St. John. of St. Johns
 Province of Quebec. A later letter received from the same institution reads as follows.
 'Threc weeks ago wrote to tell you how sntisfactOry we found Pcruna. We recommend il highly for colds, coughs. catarrh and neuralgia.
 Il have used il myself as d tonic with the best results taken as directed, half teaspoonful every half hour"
 Mrs Etta Booker. Dundurn Sask, N. w. T. Canada writes:
 "l suffered with pelvic catarrh until l wrote to Dr. Hartman, and after talk ing treatment as he advised, 1 can say l am now cured of this most trying affiiction. for which l am truly thank ful. l think Peruna the best medicine for catarrh. l never felt better in my life than 1 do at present"
 Peruna not only promptly relieves coughs and colds n their first stages but is equally prompt and efficient for catarrhal diseases in the chronic stage. or course, il is only reasonable to suppose that q great deal less medicine will be necessary to cure Il slight at tack of catarrh than would be required to relieve the ailment after it had been allowed to become chronic.

c ATARRH of the respiratory or Y gans is a common ailment in Can ada for at least two-thirds of the year. This condition is no doubt caused by the long, severe winters experienced In this part of the continent.
 Therefore, when Peruna was discoY- cred by Canadian people to be relia- ble remedy for these catarrhal diseases, it at once became a popular medicine, not only among individuals and in families, but in the great hospitals, where it was used as a preventive 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,
