Constipation and Catarrh

For many years have been wreso'
ling with the problem Of furnishing
the public an internal catarrh remedy.
Peruna has been the remedy that l
have devised and it has certainly re-
lieved many thousand people, yes hum
dreds of thousands of people, of chron-
ic catarrh.
Constipation was my chief difficulty
in treating these cases. l often felt
that it would be better II a laxative
element were added to Peruna.
feared to do so, however first because
of the number of catarrhal patients
who needed no laxative, and second l
was afraid of making such radical
change in remedy that was already
doing 30 well. Thus 1t was that con-
tinued to prescribe with the Peruna
bottle Of Manalin to those who needed
q laxative. At last, under circum-
stances explained In my booklet, was
constrained to add the laxative ele-
ment to Peruna. This constitutes what
is now known as the revised Peruna.
Now those who take Peruna will,
first, find themselves promptly re-
lieved Of their constipation. Second,
the catarrh will gradually disappear.
And once The catarrh Is cured the con-
stipation leaves permanently. Then II
you follow the advice given in my
book, you will never have to take pills
any more. Cathartics and laxatives
you can ignore. You will be perma-
nently relieved Of both your catarrh
and the constipation.

uIstnrv Of the Pine.

The history of the development of
pipes is fascinating and forms an i'm
portant part in the history of censers.
It is believed that the pipe ante-dates
the use of narcotic herbs, such as to-
bacco, although the Importance OF
smoke appears to have been chiefly, II
not wholly, due to it's supposed medi
cal properties. The Offering of in
cense made by the Aztecs to the
Spanish conquerors resembles in
many respects the familiar peace pipe
.customs of the American Indians
and the pipes themselves are similar
to those found everywhere between
southern Mexico and Canada. The
custom of smoking probably did moi
originate. through the enjoyment Of
the taste of the smoke, but arose in
connection with the development Of
the fire cult In which It had a sacred
significance.
