WHAT IS PE-RU-NA?
Is it a Catarrh Remedy, or a
Tonic. or is il BOth7

Some people call Peruua a great
tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a
great catarrh remedy.
Which of these people are right
Is it more proper to call Peruna a ca
tarTh remedy than to call it tonic2
Our reply is, that Peruna is both q
tonic sn1 eatarTh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no efectual catarrh rem.
edy that is not also tonic.
in order to thoroughly relieve any
Ease Of eatarrh, a remedy must not
only have a specific action on the mu-
cons membranes affected by the ca
tarrh, bit it must have a general tonic
action on the nervous system.
Catarrh, even IN persons who ara
otherwise strong, is a weakened con-
dltion OI some mucous membrane.
There must be something TO strength
en- the circulation, to give tone to the
arteries, and to raise the vital forces
Perhaps no vegetable remedy In the
world has attracted 90 much attention
from medical writers as HYDRASTIS
CANADENSIS. The wonderful eff
caey Of this herb has been recognized
many years, and is growing in its hold
upon the medical profession. When
Joined with CUBEBS and C0PAIRA a
trio Of medical agents Is formed In Pc
runa which constitutes a specific rem
/ ecy for Catarrh that IL the present
state of medical progress cannot be
improved upon. This action, rein
forced by such renowned tonics as
( C0LLINSOEIA CAEADENSIS. COR
iYDALIS FORMOSA 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. The
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 ez-
perience confirms a Weu-grOunded the
DRY the result Is q truth that cannot be
shaken.
