Is Pe-lu-na Useful
for Catarrh?

Should q list OF the Ingredients of Pc
runa be submitted TO any medical eX-
pert, of whatever school or nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that the medicinal herbs COM
posing Peruna are of two kinds. First,
standard and wclltred catarrh RENEE
dies. Second, well known and gener-
ally acknowledged tonic remedies.
That in Que or the other of these uses
they have stood the test of many years
experience by physicians of different
schools. There can be no dispute about
this, whatever. Peruna is composed OF
some of the most efiicacious and uni
versally used herbal remedies for ca
tarrhnl diseases, and for such conditions
of the human system as require q tonic.
Each one of tho principal ingredients
of Peruna has reputation of its own
in the cure of some phase of catarrh or
as tonic medicine.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited doc
tors over and over again, and been told
that their case is one of chronic catarrh.
1t may be Of the nose, throat, lungs,
stomach or some other internal organ.
There is no doubt as to the nature of
the disease. The only trouble is the
remedy. This doctor has tried to cure
them. That doctor has tried TO pre-
scribe for them.
No other household remedy SO uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Pcruna invites tho full
inspection of the critics.
