COLD IN
The HEAD
3 the First Chapter 10 The History
Of Chronic Disease.

A cold in the head IL the first chap
Ter in the history Of disease and death.
This has been SO often repeated that
there are few people indeed who have
aot witnessed many examples OF It
A cold In the head is rarely severe
enough to confine q vigorous person
70 the house. As . rule. 1t ends in
recovery without any treatment This
las led many people to regard q cold
IN the head as OF no importance. 1t IL
I terrible mistake, however, to pass
by a cold in the head as . trivial mat
ter Every case should be treated.
Those who have used Peruna for
such cases will testify Unanimously
that q few doses In sufficient to re-
move every vestige OF the cold. How
much better 1t is to treat a cold In this
way than it ia to allow 1t to go on and
On for weeks, perhaps months. leaving
affects that will never be eradicated.
Yet there are those who neglect to
lake Peruna for q cold in the head.
This neglect is due to the false notion
that a cold in the head Is hardly worth
noticing.
A cold in the head is in reality .
case of acute catarrh. 1t ought to be
called soSsAin order to awaken people
rom their lethargy on this subject. In
/ large per cent Of cases cold in tho
mead will end in chronic catarrh. Un-
less properly treated with some such
remedy as Peruna, perhaps so per
cent. OF cases OF cold in the head will
tay the foundation for chronic catarrh.
A tablespoonful OF Peruna should be
taken at the very first symptom OF
cold in the head. Usually where the
cold is not very severe a tablespoonful
of Peruna before each meal and at bed
time is sufficient. 1t may be neces-
sary. however, where the attack is
more serious, to keep strictly in the
house and take a tablespoonful of
Peruna every hour. Younger people.
feeble or delicate women, should take
a teaspoonful every hour.
