WHAT Is PE-RU-NA?

Tonic, or is it Both?

which of these people are right
Tai more proper to call PerJma a ca
tsrrh remedy than to call it tonicl
Our reply is, that Peruna is both a
.onio and a catarrh remedy. Indeed,
sSsre can be no efectual catarrh REM
adv that is not also tonic.
IN order to thoroughly relieve any
.ose of catarrh, a remedy must not
onlv have specific action on the mu-
sons membranes affected by the ca
tsrh. but it must have a general tonic
action on the nervous system.
Catarrh, even in persons who are
otherwise strong, is weakened con.
Sition of some mucous membrane.
There must be something TO strength
en- the circulation, to give tone to the
arteries, and to raise the vital forcea
Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the
World has attracted so much attention
from medical writers as HYDRASTIS
CANADENsIS. The wonderful eff
cacy of this herb has been recognized
many years, and is growing in its hold
upon the medical profession. When
Joined with CUBEBS and C0PAIBA a
trio Of medical agents is formed in Pc
runa which constitutes specific rem.
edy for catarrh that in the present
state of medical progress cannot be
improved upon. This action, rein
forced by such renowned tonics as
COLLINS0NIA CAEADENSIS, COR
YDALIS F0RM0SA and CEDR0N
SEED, ought to make this compound
an ideal remedy for catarrh in all it
stages and locations in the body.
From a theoretical standpoint, there

use of Peruna, confirms this opinion

HosnitaI story.reIIinn.

1t is curious that philanthropists
in search of a novel means of doing
good do not. engage reciters and story
tellers to visit hospitals and amuse
the patients. a rich man in New
York engaged Marshall p Wilder, the
diminutive entertainer, who has given
pleasure in nearly every city, to visit
regularly certain hospitals in New
York. Mr. Wilder was welcomed en-
Enthusiastically by the convalescent pa
tents, and his merry stories did them

A little city boy and his sister

The two children were happy as the

bells. and the little boy even went to
the barns TO see the milking done
