You Have Nasal Catarrh
Not Very Bad, But
1t BOtherS You a Good Deal.

Some people have nasal catarrh
and know 1t. Not only the patient
knows 1t. but all of his friends know
it. Many people know it that are not
his friends. Just those people who
happen TO meet him in the street car
or on the public square.
That sort of a nasal catarrh need
not be described. Everybody knows
the symptoms without their disgust
ing recital.
Peruna helps such cases every day.
Thousands have attested to this fact
unsolicited. Feruna benefits even the
worst cases of old nasal catarrh.
But there are cases of nasal ca
tarrh not so evident. One nostril is
stopped today. The other nostril is
stopped tomorrow. Cannot breathe
freely through the nostrils. Easy to
sneeze. Mucus in the nose too thick.
Sometimes forms brownish Jumps.
Catch cold easily. Never quite free
of a cold. These symptoms describe
a case of subacute nasal catarrh.
Many people have 1t. and some who
would not admit they have nasal ca
farrh.
He knows he must blow his nose
freely. He remembers that he does
not breathe easily through the nose. !
