CATARRH OF THE KIDNEYS
 NOT ALWAYS RECOGNIZED.
A Cold Settled In Kidneys,
 Causing Serious Trouble. Pe-ru-na Restores Health.

CATARRII of the kidneys Is a very - much neglected disease.
 It is not until the disease has a firm hold upon. the kidneys that the patient begins to realize that there is some de- rangement of these organs.
 The slight backaches, the feelings oi lassitude, and other warning symptoms of kidney disease are overlooked.
 They are not serious enough to detar the patient from his regular work.
 Even when he discovers that the kid neys are affected, he does not recognize the difficulty as being caused by ca tarrh.
 Catarrh is sometimes so very gradual in it's approach, and its earlier symp- toms cause such slight discomfort that 1t is not noticed.
 However when 1t is once firmly seated in the Kidneys it becomes a diff ficult disease to exterminate.
 Indeed, catarrh of the kidneys Is more serious than catarrh affecting some of the other organs of the body.
 In the kidneys it is liable to termi- nate in Bright's Disease or diabetes both of which are recognized as vers serious ailments. if not fatal.
 The thing to be done, when a cold or catarrh of the kidneys is discovered is to take some internal, systemic catarrh remedy, one that relieves the catarrhal disturbances and thus removes the cause of the difficulty.
 Such a remedy has been found in Peruna. It relieves catarrh, no matter
