WHEN SUFFERING WITH ACUTE CATARRH
PE-RU-NA WITH
TARRH USED - -
GOOD RESULTS.
WashingtonD.Q , March 20 , ' 98.
L848 Wyoming Ave. ThePe-ru-ua
Drug M'f'g Co. , Columbus , Ohio :
Greutlemeu The sample bottle of
Pe-ru-na came when I was suffer
ing with a cold and I used it with
* oed results.
Very sincerely ,
MRS. F. E. WARREN.
A cold is acute catarrh. Too
lew people seem to be aware of
; his. If a cold is neglected it will
ioon become chronic catarrh. Al-
; hough a cold is rarely fatal , yet
t is the most productive source of
ncurable diseases that is known to
; he medical profession. At least
me-third of the deaths in the
Jnited States are traced to the ef-
! ects of cold.
In perhaps no other particular
ire the masses of the people so
ecklessly neglectful of their own
uterests as in the matter of catcli-
ug cold. Not only do the great
majority fail to provide themselves
eith sufficiently warm clothing , but
rhen a slight cough or hawking
ir running at the nose warns them
. cold has been contracted , little
ir no attention is paid to it. There
.re , comparatively , so few people
i'ho regard a cold as of sufficient
ousequence to require prompt and
fficieut medical treatment , that
lot only is the death rate of the
Northern States increased one-half
hereby , but our laud is swarming
7'tli invalids and half-sick people
s a direct consequence of neglect-
d colds. Pe-ru-na is equally val-
.able to prevent , to cure , and to
ntirely remove the effects of a
old. No family , especially at
his season of the year , ought to
e without this excellent prevent-
ve and cure for that most insidi-
us , ever-present disease-breeding
mlady called a cold.
Dr. Hartman has written a book
ntitled "Health tmd "
Beauty" es-
ecially for women. It treats ex- f
lusively of the phases of catarrh
lost common to woman. It will
e sent free by addressing Dr.
[ artman , Columbus , Ohio.
