Dr. Eartman has claimed for many years that Penma is an EXCELLENT CATAEEH KEMEDY. Some of the doctor's critics have disputed the doctor's claim as to the efficacy of Penma. Since the ingredients of Penma are no longer a secret , what do the medi cal authorities say concerning the remedies of which Peruna is composed ? Take , for instance , the ingredient EYDRASTIS CAffADENSIS , OR GOLDEN SEAL. The United States Dispensatory says of this herbal remedy , that it is largely employed in the treatment of depraved mucous membranes , chronic rhinitis ( nasal catarrh ) , atonic dyspepsia " ( catarrh of the stomach ) , chronic intestinal catarrh , calarrhal jaundice ( catarrh of the livcrj , and in diseased mucous membranes of the pelvic organs. It is also recommended for the treatment of various forms of diseases peculiar to women. 1 Another ingredient of Penma , COEYDALIS TOBMOSA , is classed in the United States Dispensatory as a tonic. } CEDHOir SEEDS is another ingredient of Peruna , an excellent drug that has been very largely overlooked by the medical profession for the past fifty years. THE SEEDS ARE TO BE POTTED IK VERY FEW DRUG STORES. The United States Dispensatory says of the action of cedron that it is used aa a bitter tonic and in the treatment of dysentery , and in intermittent diseases as a SUBSTITUTE FOR OIL OF COPAIBA , another ingredient of Peruna , is classed by the United States Dispensatory as a mild stimulant and diuretic. It acts on the stomach and intestinal tract. It acts as a stimulant on the genito-urinary membranes. Useful in chronic cystitis , chronic dys entery and diarrhea , and some chronic Our Penna ? Tablet diseases of the liver and kidneys. These opinions as to the ingredients Is Peruna With of Peruna are held by all writers on the subject , including Bartholow and Fluid Removed. Scudder. OF HYDRASTIS , BARTHOLOW SAYS it is applicable to stomatitis ( catarrh of the mucous surfaces of the mouth ) , follicular pharyngitis ( catarrh of the pharynz ) , chronic coryza ( catarrh of the head ) . This writer classes hydrastis as a stomachic tonic , useful in atonic dyspepsia ( chronic gastric catarrh ) , catarrh of the duodenum , catarrh of the gall duct , catarrh of the intestines , catarrh of the kidneys ( chronic Bright's disease ) , catarrh of tha bladder , and catarrh of other pelvic organs. BARTHOLOW REGARDS COPAIBA as an excellent remedy for chronic catarrh of the bladder , chronic bronchitis ( catarrh of the bronchial tubes ) . BARTHOLOW STATES THAT CUE2B , an ingredient of Peruna , pro motes the appetite and digestion , increases the circulation of the blood. Use ful in chronic nasal catarrh , follicular pharyngitis ( catarrh of the pharynx ) , increasing the tonicity of the mucous membranes of tha throat. It also re lieves hoarseness. Useful in atonic dyspepsia ( catarrh of the stomach ) , and in cnronie catarrh of the colon and rectum , catarrh of the bladder , prostatorrhea , and chronic broncliial affections. MILLSPAUGH , MEDICINAL PLANTS , ono of the most authoritative works on medicinal herbs in the English language , in commenting upon COLLDISOHIA CAKADENSIS , says that it acts on the pneumogastric and vase motor nerves. It increases the secretions of the mucous membranes in general. In the mountains of Virginia , Kentucky , Tennessee and Carolina , collinsonia canadensis is considered a panacea for many disorders , including headaclie , colic , cramp , dropsy and indigestion. DR. SCUDDER regards it highly as a remedy in chronic diseases of the lungs , heart disease and asthma. These citations ought to be sufficient to show to any candid mind that Pe runa is a catarrh remedy. Surely , such herbal remedies , that command the enthusiastic confidence of the highest authorities obtainable , brought together in proper combination , ought to make a catarrh remedy of the highest efficacy. This is our claim , and ws are able to substantiate this claim by ample quotations from the HIGHEST MEDICAL AUTHORITIES LET THE WORLD.
