I'm 1860 was practicing medicine In
Millersville, Pennsylvania, a thriving
farming community. A prominent
citizen Of that locality called at my
Office one day In q very feeble condi-
tion. So much so he had to be assist
ed In aligkting from his wagon.
I found on questioning him that he
had been afflicted for about two years.
He had consulted various doctors,
among them a specialist from Philadel-
phia. They pronounced his disease to
be Brights disease Of the kidneys. He
was gradually failing in strength, los
ing flesh rapidly, and altogether pre-
sented a very pitiable spectacle, the
remnant Of a once strong and happy
man.
I had been treating a neighbor OF
his successfully. This neighbor had
highly recommended me and thus it
was he had come to me.
He told me that the doctors had
practically given up his case as hope
less and he felt free to consult any
other physician. I hesitated to take
the case. as felt sure I could not do
anything more than the other ply
sicians had DONE / told him so, yet he
insisted upon my prescribing. 1 was q

| lege at Philadelphia, and as one Of the
consulting physicians had been a pro-
fessor in that college 1t seemed to me
quite unlikely that would be able to
do any more than had been done, but
prescribed what seemed to be the best
thing under the circumstances.
He went away and in week he re-.
turned saying he was no better, that he
was still losing ground. He Judged
that he had taken the same medicine
before. No doubt he had. But he
wished me to prescribe again. 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 vas why I
came to you. Why not give me the
same medicine you gave him?"

case. 7 remember T gave him the

"Well, I want some Of the same
medicine you gave him. 1t worked
wonders with him and I believe it
will with me-"
But" said, "this is not a medi-
cine for kidney disease"
"Well, since you seem to be like the
rest Of the doctors. you cannot help
me. why not try the medicine that
helped my neighbour"
After some hesitation concluded to
give him a bottle of it. In ten days
he returned. He at once began to be-
rate me in no complimentary words,
saying:
"You knew very wei this medicine
would help me. You held 1t back
merely to get more fees for treating
me. From the first the medicine has
helped ME and I have made rapid I'M

medicine a year ago I should have
been saved a great deal OF expense
and loss Of time"
I replied that I was glad the medi-
cine had helped him. I was somewhat
confused by his brusque manner and
rough speech. ! gave him another bot
tie of medicine. Did not see him again
for about three weeks. Once more he

Serious Kidney Disease Treated
T.. BY an Old Fashioned Doctor

called at my office for another bottle
Of medicine, which was his last cali.
A month or 30 afterwards q neighher
Of his called and got q bottle Of the
same medicine, saying that my patient
was practically a we'll man, attending
to his duties about his large farm.
I had given him the Neutralizing
Mixture which was q remedy that Z
i 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 It
was that Peruna should operate 30
Ibenefcially In such seemingly different
diseases. I. had not yet. grasped tho
correct philosophy Of disease. did
not. then clearly comprehend that
catarrh may affect the kidneys as we'll
as the bowels. Nothing Of that sort
was taught in the books In those days.
1t took me years before clearly COM
pretended that catarrh was a disease
liable to attack any organ Of the body.
Catarrh is g. disease Of the mucous
membranes. The mucous membranes
line every organ, duct and cavity In
the body. Thus it t. catarrh may set.
tie anywhere where there is g. mucous
membrane.
Peruna is my remedy for all these
cases. ! insist upon 1t, however, that
Peruna is not a cure-all. I use It for
Just one disease, catarrh. But as
catarrh is liable to affect so many DIFF
ferent places, disturb so many differ
ent functions, derange so many differ
ent organs, it does seem to many peo,
pie as If T regarded Peruna as a cu1e-
all.
The above narrative Is simply one Of
the many cases in my early practice
that brought me to comprehend the
wonderful efficacy Of Peruna In such q
variety Of diseases. The kidneys may
be affected by other diseases than
catarrh, but the average case of kid
ney disease is catarrh Of the kidneys.
All cases Of Brights disease begin
with catarrh Of the kidneys. This
being true, and it also being true that
Peruna is a catarrh remedy, it follows
that great many cases of kidney
disease would be benefited by Peruna.
