the overflow of the lands, 735

Catarrh of the Stomach
a Prevalent Disease
Difficult to Relieve.
A PROMPT AND EFFICIENT REMEDY.

-N
If the truth were known, the proba-
bilities are that Peruna has relieved
as many cases of catarrh OF the stomach
as any other popular remedy in exis-
tence. We have a great many unsolic-
tied testimonials from all parts Of the
United States, declaring in strong and
enthusiastic terms that Psruna has en-
tirely relieved them of catarrh Of the
stomach, that they were wretched and
miserable beyond words, but Peruna
has restored them TO health, vigor and
happiness.
These are the facts. Now, II you have
stomach difficulty, IL is up to you to act
upon them or ignore them, as you
please.
symptoms of Stomach Catarrh.
''The affection may result from errors
in dict, or the use of alcohol. The ex-
c~essiye use Of tobacco, especially when
the juice or the leaves are swallowed,
is likely TO cause IT..
"Highly seasoned or coarse, irritating
foods, sometimes induce the disease.
"As chronic gastritis (catarrh Of the
stomach) is essentially q secondary
affection, one of the primary causes is
an unhealthy state of the mouth, nose
or throat, such as bad teeth or catarrh
of the nose (ozena).
"The patients are usually poorly
nourished, pale, sallow, thin, fatigue
easily induced, muscles fiabby. Loss
of appetite or capricious appetite.
'eThe tongue is usually coated brown
ish gray. Cankered mouth is q com
mon occurrence.
"Pain is not common. When present
. it is usually dull, and is aggravated by
food, especially when this is of an irri
tatlng character.
"vomiting may occur in the morning
Also after meals. Sickness to the stom
! ach frequent and persistent.
Flood produces dull headache, and
feeling of general distress
Constipation usually quite Marked"
a These symptoms, given by Gould AM
Pyle, coincideexactly with the frequen
descriptions DR.. Hartman is receiving
# from patients all over the United States
If you have any of these symptom
