In a recent letter from 1000 K Street, N. W., Mr. Johnson aaya:
"Ao one should longer suffer from Catarrh when Peruna Is
accessible. To my knowledge It has caused relief to so many of

use to all persons suffering with this distressing disorder of the
human system." Louis . Johnson.
Catarrh rUon,
Catarrh it capable of changing all the
life-giving secretions of the body Into

as S. S. S. It attacks the disease in
the blood, neutralizes the acids, and
removes all irritating or poisonous
substances from the system.
S. S. S. strengthens and enriches
the thin acid blond, and, as it circu

are dislodged and washed out of the
muscles and joints, and the sufferer
