Poruna has boon tho remedy that I havo dovlscd nnd It has certainly ro llovcd mnny thousand pooplo, yeB hun dreds of thousands of pcoplo, of chron ic catarrh. -' Constipation was aiy chief difficulty ih treating these cases. I often folt that it would bo better If n laxatlvo clement woro nddod to Poruna. I fenred to do so, howovor, first because of tho number of catarrhal patlcnta who needed no laxatlvo, nnd socond t waB nfrnld of making such n radical chnngo In n remedy that was nlready doing so well. Thuo It was that I con tinued to prescribe with tho Poruna a bottlo of Mnnalin to thoso who needed n laxatlvo. At Inst, uhdor circum stances explained In my booklet, I wna constrained to ndd tho laxatlvo ele ment to Poruna. Thla constitutes what la now known ns tho revised Poruna.
