A N effective catarrh remedy must
4 a have a double action upon the
human system.
First, 1t must have tonic effect up
on the whole system; and, second, 1t
must have a direct action on the catar-
rhal condition.
Catarrh begins with some form of
Capillary irritation, most commonly
that condition known as catching cold.
Catching cold causes a congestion OF
the mucous membrane, which at
tack the head throat lungs or the mu-
cous membrane of other internal
organs.
The treatment of catarrh is, there
fore, no longer guess work; the nature
of catarrh Is so thoroughly understood,
and the action of the drugs so COM
pletely comprehended, that the remedy
can be adjusted to the disease with an
accuracy that almost approaches scien-
tific completeness
Peruna brings to the home the COM
bined knowledge of several schools of
medicine in the treatment of catarrhal
diseases. Every ingredient of Peruna
has a reputation of its own in the relief
of some phase of catarrh.
