Speaker, II. T. Laughbanm, and told
him he deliberately was mlsrepresent-
ing the attitude Of her husband to-
ward the Shepherd Kenyon Bill that

Speaker was used against them.
"That is untrue declared a WON

Kidney Disease Treated
By an Old Fashioned Doctor

called at my office for another bottle
of medicine, which was his last call.
A month or so afterwards a neighpor
Of his called and got a bottle Of the
same medicine, saying that my patient
was practically a well man, attending
to his duties about his large farm.
1 had given him the Neutralizing
Mixture which was a remedy that !
had used before only for bowel dis
leases. The same remedy that has since
lbeen sold under the name Of PerHna.
Ii could not quite understand how IL
was that Peruna should operate so
Theoretically in such seemingly different
diseases. ] had not yet grasped the
.Icorrect philosophy Of disease. | did
mot then clearly comprehend that
catarrh may affect the kidneys as well
las the bowels. Nothing of that sort
was taught In the books in those days.
II took me years before | clearly COM
I~prehended that catarrh was q disease
liable to attack any organ Of the BODY.
Catarrh Is a disease of the mucous
membranes. The mucous membranes
lime every organ, duct and cavity IN
1.-THE body. Thus 1t H. catarrh may set
tile anywhere where there is q mucous
membrane.
Peruna is my remedy for all these
leases. l insist upon 1t, however, that
tPeruma is not a c%ure-ali. / use 1t for
lust n disease, catarrh. But az
Icatarrh is liable to affect SC many DIFF
Iferent places. disturb so many differ
lent functions, derange so many differ
emit organs, it does seem to many peo-
pie as If I regarded Peruna as a cure-
lall.
The above narrative is simply n OF
1.-THE many cases In my early practice
that brought me to comprehend the
wonderful efficacy of Peruna In such a
variety Of diseases. The kidneys may
be affected by other diseases thar
