XL AT ACTyAkgg The great popularity of Pervna as a catarrh remedy has tempted many people to imitate Pervna. A great many so-called catarrh remedies and catarrh tonics are to be found in many drug stores. These remedies can be procured by the druggist very much cheaper than Pervna. Pervna can only be obtained at a uniform price and do druggist can get tt a cent cheeper. Thus tt is that druggists are tempted to substitute tbe cheap imitations of Peruna tor Pervna. It Is done eery day without a doubt When a patient calls at a drug store to procure some Peruna and tbe druggist recommends some thing else that will be Just as good, it may be that he does not always recognize the responsibility that be Is taking upon himself. Such a substitute Is always sure to re sult In failure. The claim of Peruna to being the standard catarrh remedy of tbe world Is based upon tbe fol lowing facts : It has tbe endorsement of LWUMERABLE HOSPITALS. A GREAT NUMBER OF PtlYSIClAXS.
