Constipation and Catarrh

For many years 1 have been wrest- ling with the problem of furnishing the public an internal catarrh remedy. Peruua has been the remedy that have devised and it has certainly re- lieyed many thousand people. yes hun- dreds of thousands of people, of chron- ie catarrh.
 Constipation was my chief difficulty in treating these cases. l often felt that it would be better if q 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 I W afraid of making such a radical change h a remedy that was already doing so well Thus 1t was that I con- tlnued to prescribe with the Perana a bottle of Manalin to those who needed laxative. At last. under cireurn- stances explained in my booklet. I was constrained to add tho laxative eie- ment to Peruna. This constitutes what Is now known as the revised Peruna.
 Now those who take Peruna wilt, first. find themselves promptly re- lieved Of their constipation. Second, the catarrh will gradually disappear And once the catarrh Is cured the con stipatlon leaves permanently. Then if 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 perrna. nently relieved of both your catarrh and the constipation.

WOMEN AS NATURAL ENEMIES
Why This Unfortunate Condition
 Must Exist.

Tine average woman now begins that study of society which will merge ultimately with the marriage cam paign. She makes many discoveries which she admits frankly to herself She comes to many conclusions" says lEez Haynes Gilmore in Harper's Ba- gar, which sink unnoticed into her subeonscious mind if marriage. fe. Instance, is her natural career, then men are her natural prey
 But unfortunately there are never enough men in her world to go round 1. ard of those from whom she may hope to choose some are much more desir. able than others. Naturally she pre-. fers the desirable ones-i. e. the 'eligibles But-and here she rans against her first obstacle every oth. CT single woman in her circle has come to the same conclusion. From the instant she realizes this she must declare war on every other mem. Der of her sex.
 Men must often wonder at that mi mute and merciless examination to which, on first meeting, every woman submits every other wom. an. Men must often marvel at the power Of quick observation which women always develop in these cir cumstances. This is only the swift interrogation with which warrior surveys the arms of his opponent Women are forever diScovering npu and complex weapons in the posses. sion of rivals. And, perhaps, the most terrifying element in the situa ton Is syehological-her sense oi bafilment, in that she cannot judge oi women for men any more than they can judge of men for her. Every oth CT woman becomes her enemy. Tc succeed in her world she must play a 1 icne hand and cut-throat game"

You are constipated You have talk en laxatives a great many years. You have tried to select q diet that would keep your bowels regular. In this you have failed and were obliged to go back to your laxatives again. This, say. has been going on many years.
 You also have a slight catarrh in the head and throat. You never imagined that the catarrh had anything to do with the constipation. Suppose I were to tell you that as long as you have that catarrh you will never get better of your constipation. Would you be- lieye me? Well, whether you would believe me or not it is the truth.

 At the first sign of constipation the mother should administer a mild laxa- tive to carry off the congested waste from the stomach that is fermeuting and forcing poisonous gases into the system. A simple compound of laxa- tive herbs with pepsin is highly recom- mended as being very mild yet posi- tive, in its action, a teaspoonful at bedtime usually serving to bring an easy, thorough, natural movement next morning. This compound is known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and is sold by druggists every where Tor 50e a bottle. A larger bottle, put up especially for the family medicine chest, costs one dollar.
