AN INCESSANT Cough.
Continued Dropping of Mucus
into my Throat.

A severe cough is always a grave
symptom. 1t may not indicate or
Eanic disease of the lungs. Even
though the cough is a functional dis
turbance 1t is of sufficient gravity to
demand prompt attention.
The dropping of mucus from the
back part of the nose into the throat
indicates nasal catarrh. Sometimes
this goes on a long time before the
patient pays any attention 10 it. II
is stated ON good authority that mu-
Gus dropping into the throat in this
way is apt TO excite catarrh of the
stomach. At any rate, the condition
ought TO be corrected as soon as pos
sible.
Mrs. Bourland. of Fraukston. Texas.
found after using Peruna that not
only did the lincessant cough disap-
pear, but the dropping of mucus into
the throat had also ceased. Read
what she says:
For twenty-three years. I was a
constant sufferer from chronic ca
tarrh. ! had a severe misery and
burning in the top of my head. There

frequent expectoration. My entire
system gradually became involved,
and my condition grew worse. / had
an incessant cough and frequent at
tacks of bilious collie, from which it
seemed | could not recover. My
bowels also became affected, causing
alarming attacks of hemorrhages.

only temporary relief, or no relief at
all. / at last tried Peruna, and in
three days l was relieved of the bowel

Il most cheerfully recommend the

afflicted"
