Catarrh of the Stomach
a Prevalent Disease
Difficult to Relieve.
A PRoMPT- ANp EFFIcLENT REMEpY.

| IL the truth were known, the probs-
bilities are that Peruna has relieved
az many cases Of catarrh OF the stomach
as any other popular remedy In exis-
tence. We have great many unsolio-
tied testimonials from all parts Of the
United States, declaring In strong and
enthusiastic terms that Peruna 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, If ron have
stomach difficulty, it 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 diet, or the use Of alcohol. The ex-
cessive use Of tobacco, especially when
the Juice or the leaves are swallowed,

an unhealthy state of tho mouth, nose
or throat, such as bad teeth or catarrh
Of the nose (ozena).
