US. DISPENSATORY
Describes the Principal Ingredients
Contained in Pe-ru-na.

Are we claiming too much for PEI
runa when we claim it to be an
effective remedy for chronic catarrhs
Have we abundant proof that Pc
runa is in reality such a catarrh
remedyp Let us see what the Unit
ed States Dispensatory says Of the
principal ingredients Of Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
of this herbal remedy, that it Is
largely employed in the treatment of
depraved mucous membranes, chron-
ic rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atomic
dyspepsia (catarrh Of the stomach),
chronic intestinal catarrh, catarrhal
j%aundice (catarrh of the liver), and
in diseased mucous membranes Of
the pelvic organs. It is also recon-
mended for the treatment Of various
forms of disease peculiar to women.
Another ingredient Of Peruna,
corydalis formosa, is classed in the
United States Dispensatory as a
tonic. So also is cubebs classed as q
stomachic and as a tonic for the mu-
cous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient
of Peruna, an excellent drug that
has been very largely overlooked by
the medical profession for the past
fifty years. The seeds are to be
found in very few drug stores. The
United States Dispensatory says Of
the action Of cedron that 1t is used.
as a bitter tonic and in the treatment
of dysentery, and in intermittent
diseases as a substitute for quinine.
Oil Of copaiba, another ingredient
of Peruna, is classed by the United
States D~ispensatory as a mild stimu-
liant and diuretic. It acts on tho
stomach and intestinal tract. It
acts as a stimulant on the genito-
urinary membranes. Useful in
chronic cystitis, chronic dysentery
and diarrhea, and some chronic dis
eases of the liver and kidneys.
Send to us for a free book Of tes-
timonials of what the people think
of Peruna as a catarrh remedy. The
best evidence is the testimony Of
those who have tried it.

Brownsville affair Senator Clay, of
Georgia, declared that he had no race
