What is Pe-ru-na.

Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh? Have we
abundant proof that Peruna is in real
ity such catarrh remedy? Let us see
what the United 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 lining various
organs of the human body.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as a tonic.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient Of
Peruna. The United States DISPENSE
tory says of the action Of cedron that
1t is used as bitter tonic and in the
treatment of dysentery, and in inter-
mittent diseases as a substitute for
quinine.

ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs

known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family

on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
