ShO SNOAAoNAs
Yes, the same kind OF catarrh that
one has in the nose, the same kind of
catarrh that affects the cavities of the
head. the same kind of catarrh TO
which the throat is subject, may affect
the mucous membranes of the stom-
ach.
AS l told you in previous articles,
the stomach is lined with a mucous
membrane. So IS the nose and the
throat Wherever there is mucous
membrane there is a liability to ca
tarrh. Catarrh is essentially a dis
ease of the mucous membrane.
Pe.ru-na Removes the Cause.
II is perfectly useless to take ar
t,fcial digestants, or to take dyspep-
STA remedies. What is needed is
catarrh remedy.
Pe-ru-na is not only catarrh rem
edy, but is a digestant. Therefore,
Pe-ru-na will not only temporarily as.
sist the stomach in its function and
thus give prompt relief, but 1t ends
also towards eradicating the catarrh.
The cause of most cases of dyspepsia,
heart burn, sour rising. full feeling
after meals, coated tongue, constipa-
ton, the cause OF most cases Of this
sort is catarrh OF the stomach.-(Adv.)
