WhatisP e-ru=na?
Is it a Catarrh Remedy, or a Tonic,
or is it Both?
or is it BOfHy

Some people call Peruna a great tonic. Others refer to Peruna a a great
catarrh remedy
Which of these people are right9 Iit more proper to call Peruna a ca
tarrh remedy than to call it a tonic?
Our reply is, that Peruna is both a tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there car be no efectual eatarrh remedy that is not also a tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any case Of catarrh, aremedy must not only
have a specific action on the mucous membranes affected by the catarrh, but
must have a general tonic action on the nervous system.
CatarTh, even in persons who are otherwise strong, is a weakened eondi-
ton Of some mucous membrane, There must be something to strengthen the
circulation to give tone to the arteries, and to raise the vital forces.
Perhaps no vegetable remedy in heworld has attracted so much attention
from medical writers as HYDRASTIS CANADENS1S. The wonderful efficacy
of this herb has been recognized many year, and is growing in its hold
upon the medical profession. When Joined with CUBEBS and C0PAIBA a
trio of medical agents is formed in Peruna which constitutes specific rem
edy for catarrh that in the present state of medical progress cannot be i'm
proved upon. This action, reinforced by such renowned tonics IS COLLIN
SONIA CANADENSIS, CORYDALIS FORM0SA and CEDRoN SEED ought
tomake this compound an ideal remedy for catarrh in allits stages and locations
in the body.
From a theoretical standpoint, therefore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The
ue of Peruna, confirms this opinion. Numberess testimonials from every
quarter of the earth furnish ample evidence that this judgment is not over
enthusiastic. When practical experience confirms a wengrounded theory the
result is a truth that cannot be shaken.
