Dr. Hartman Describes
the Phrase, Systemic Catarrh

We hear often today the term auto
intoxication, which refers to a condi-
ton OF the bowels. The bowels being
clogged up, they ferment and become
poisoned. The system attempts to
rec.ify the trouble by absorbing the
poison and carrying 1t out through
the kidneys. The result is sickness,
called Standardization. 1t is exactly
this kind Or thing that happens In
systemic catarrh. The catarrhal sec
reions that do not escape by the in
ternal organs are absorbed by the
blood vessels and carried through the
system. and the result is systemic
catarrh.
The remedy believe to be Peruna
| | believe there Is no remedy in the
World that has relieved SO many people
as Peruna. The disease is not al
ways known as systemic catarrh.
! Sometimes it is called dyspepsia.
sometimes nervous prostration Some
times it assumes the form Of anemia,
and then again chronic malaria, also
walking typhoid fever.
| All these conditions are fully de-
scrfbed by the term systemic catarrh.
1t Is especially prevalent during the
| typhoid season. September and Octo-
Der. would not consider any other
remedy than Peruna in such cases az
these. Peruna Is absolutely a perfec,
remedy for systemic catarrh.
