WHAT is PE-RU-NA?
Is 1t a Catarrh Remedy, or q
Tonic, or is it Both?

Some people call Peruna great
tonic. Others refer to Peruna as
great catarrh remedy.
Which of these people are right
Is it more proper to call Peruna a ca
tarrh remedy than to call it a tonic7
Our reply is, that Peruna is both u
tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no effectual catarrh rem.
edy that is not also tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
case Of catarrh, remedy must not
only have a specific action on the mu.
cous membranes affected by the ca.
tarrh, but it must have general tonic
action on the nervous system.
Catarrh, even in persons who are
otherwise strong, is weakened con-
dition Of some mucous membrane.
There must be something to strength.

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 COPAIBA 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
C0LLINS0NIA CANADENSIS, COR
YDALIS F0RM0SA and CEDRON
SEED, ought to make this compound
an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its
stages and locations in the body.
From theoretical standpoint, there.
fore, Peruna is beyond criticism. Tho
use of Peruna, confirms this opinion.
Numberless testimonials from every
quarter of the earth furnish ample
evidence that this judgment is not
over enthusiastic. When practical ex-
perience confirms well-grounded the
Dry the result is truth that cannot be
shaken.
