the people of the United States are afflicted with catarrh in some of its many phases and stages Add to this tne tact tnat catarrh rap idly tends to become fixed or chronic also the further fact that it is ca pable of producing a great many other diseases and we begin to real ize the true nature of this dread dis ease So formidable has catarrh become that in every city or town of any size numerous doctors are to be found who make the treatment of ca tarrh a specialty Of course a great deal of good is accomplished in this way but as yet a comparatively small number of the people an avail themselves of this treatment be cause of the great expense necessa rily attached to it To all such people Dr Hartmans remedy Peruna comes as a great boon Not only is it more successful in curing catarrh than the treatment of the catarrh specialists but it is within the reach of every person in this land Peruna can be bought at any drug store and is a remedy without equal for catarrh in all forms coughs colds bronchitis con sumption and all climatic diseases of winter Peruna is not a guess nor an ex periment it is an absolute scien tific certainty Peruna cures catarrh wherever located Peruna has no substitutes no rivals Insist upon having Peruna Let no one persuade you that some other remedy will do nearly as well There is no other systemic remedy for catarrh but Pe runa Mr Byron J
