PERUNA o NO. z.

Dr. Hartman has claimed for many years that Peruna is an EXCELLENT
CATARRH REMEDY. Some of the doctor critics have disputed the doctors
claim as to the efficacy of Peruna.
Since the Ingredients of Peruna are no longer a secret what do the medi'
cal authorities say concerning the remedies of which Peruna is compsed?
Take, for instance, the ingredient HYDRASTIS CANADENSlS, OE
GOLDEN SEAL The United States Dspensatory says of this herbal remedy,
that it s largely employed in the treatment of depraved mucous membranes
chronic rhintis nasal catarrhl atomic dyspepsia (catarrh of the stomach,
chronic intestinal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice catarrh of the hvera and in
diseased mucous membranes of the pelvic organs. 1t is also recommended for
the treatment of various forms of diseases peculiar to women.
Another ingredient of Peruna, C0RYDAL1s FoRMosA. is oassed in tho
United States Dispeusatory as tome
CEDR0N 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 Dipsnsatory says of the action of cedron that it is used as
a bitter tonic and in the treatment of dysentery, and in intermittent diseases

Judge Taft expresses the belief that

no doubt have something to say about
the tariff bill after it comes from the
House, but he gave an intimation that
he might even veto bill that had
received the imprimatur of both the
