Stimulate the Blood.

Brandreth's Pills are the great blood
purifier. They are a laxative and blood
tonic, they act equally on the bowels, the
kidneys and the skin, thus cleansing the
system by the ma .ural outlet of the body.
They stimulate the blood so as to enable
nature to throw off all morbid humors
and cure all troubles arising from an I'M
pure state of the blood. One or two
taken every night will prove invaluable.
Each pill contains one grain of solid ex-
tract of sarsaparilla, which, with other
valuable vegetable products, make 1t
blood purifier of excellent character.
Brandreth' Pills have been in use tor
over a century and are sold in every drug
and medicine store. plain or suga. coated.

AWFUL NEURALGIA
Pain Turned This Woman's Hair
White but She Was Cured by
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills,

Dr.. Williams Pink Pills.
Do not seek relief from suffering
simply, but free your system from the
disease which is the cause of your
suffering. That is the message which
former victim of neuralgia sends to
those who are still in it's grasp. Hot
applications, powders that deaden the
senses and others that reduce the
heart action may cause temporary re-
lief but the pain is sure to return with
greater intensity.
Mrs. Evelyn Creusere, who has a
beautiful home at 81 Boulevard
West, Detroit, Mich, suffered for
years with neuralgia until she tried
this tonic treatment. She says:
My trouble began about six years
ago and | did not rest as | should
have, but kept up about my many
duties. After a time | became so
weak | could not do any work at all.
| had severe backaches and such
dreadful headaches in the back part
and top of my head. My eyes were
easily tired and at times | saw black
spots before them. I consulted sew
eral doctors but without the slightest
benefit. The pains were so intense
that my hair turned white.
Il lost continually in weight and

US. D.SPENSATORY
Describes the Principal ingredients
Contained in Pe-ru-na.

Contained in Pe-ru-na.
Are we claiming too much for Pc
runa when we claim it to be an
effective remedy for chronic catarrhP
Have we abundant proof that Pc
runa is in reality such a catarrh
remedy? Let us see what the Unit
ed States Dispensatory says OF the
principal ingredients of Peruna'
Take. for instance, the ingredient
hvdrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
of this herbal remedy, that it is
largely employed in the treatment Of
denraved mucous membranes, chron-
ic rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atomic
dyspepsia (catarrh Of the stomsch),
chronic intestinal catarrh. catarrhal
iaundice (catarrh of the liver), and
in diseased mucous membranes OF
the nelvic organs. It is also recon-
mended for the treatment of various
forms Of disease peculiar to women
Another ingredient of Peruna,
corvdaIis formosa, is classed in the
United States Dispeusatory as
tonic. So also is cubebs classed as a
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 substitute for quinine.
Oil of copaiba, another ingredient
Of Peruna, is classed by the United
States Dispensatory as mild stimu-
liant and diuretic. It acts on the
stomach and intestinal tract 1t
acts as a stimulant on the gcnito-
urinary membranes. Useful in
chronic cystitis, chronic dysentery
and diarrhea, and some chronic dis
eases Of the liver and kidneys.
Send to us for free book Of tes-
timonials OF what the people think
of Peruna as catarrh remedy. The
best evidence is the testimony Of
those who have tried it.
