Serious Kidney Disease Treated
 By an Old- Fashioned Doctor

rough speech. I gave him another bot tie of medicine. Did not see him again for-about three weeks. Once more he called at my office for another bottle of medicine, which was his last call 4 month or so afterwards netghbor of his called and got a bottle of the same medicine, saying that my patient was practically well man, attending to his duties about his large farm.
 I had given him the Neutralizing Mixture which was 8 remedy that l had used before only for bowel dis eases. The same remedy that has since been sold under the name of Peruna. could not quite understand how 1t was that Peruna should operate so benefieially in such seemingly differ ent diseases. I had not yet grasped the correct philosophy of disease7 did not then clearly comprehend that catarrh may affect the kidneys as well as the bowels. Nothing of that sort
 was taught in the books in those days. It took me years before clearly com : prehended that catarrh was a disease
 liable to attack any organ of the body. Catarrh is a disease of the mucous
 membranes. The mucous membranes | line every organ, duct and cavity in l the body. Thus it is catarrh may set
 tie anywhere where there is a mucous
 membrane.
 | Peruna is my remedy for all these cases. insist upon it, however, that
 Peruna is not cure-all. 1 use it fol 1 just one disease, catarrh.> But as
 catarrh is liable to affect so many
 different places, disturb so many diff l ferent functions, derange so many diff l ferent organs, it does seem to many people as if regarded Peruna as cure-all,
 The above narrative is simply one l of the many cases in my early prac-
 ticee that brought me to comprehend
 the wonderful efficacy of Peruna ir l such a variety of diseases The kid
 neys may be affected by other diseases | than catarrh, but the average case o kidney disease is catarrh of the kid neys. All cases of Brights disease be gin with catarFh of the kidneys. Thil being true. and it also being true tha Peruna Is a catarrh remedy, it follows I that a great many cases of kidney disease would be benefited by Peruna Peruna is for sale at all drug stores. l SPECIAL NoTIcE--Many persons

But he wished me to prescribe again. I did so. This went on for about two months. the patient failing all the time, and I was becoming thoroughly discouraged with the case.
 One day the patient said to me Doctor. why don't you give me the medicine you gave my neighbor? We all thought he would die, but your medicine cured him. This was why l came to you. Why not give me the same medicine you gave him?''
