Sebrlng. A- Colds are considered one of the neces sary Hl3 of life. One Is liable to catch cold both Summer and Winter. Very often a cold Is the starting point or cause of a lengthy and dangerous catarrhal disease. Colds are always dangerous and should never be neglected a day. ei(eto(s(eGtt9ec(eoosot9i JUDGE JOHN. John V. Wright, Law Department, General Land office of Tennessee. In a lotter written from Washington, D. C, says the following of Peruna for catarrh: ' I have used Peruna In my family and can cheerfully recom mend It as being all you represent, and wish every one who Is suffering with catarrh, general debility, or prostration could know of It. I would advise all such to take It In time and fore stall the terrible consequences. I regard It as a most valuable remedy and .most cheerfully recommend It." John V. Wright. SEBRING. your valuable remedy, Peruna, ON D. T. CORBIN Is ex-United States Senator and cousin of Adjutant-General Corbln of the United States Army. Judge Corbln is one of the best known lawyers In Chicago and stands High professionally and socially. The follow ing indorsement, coming from such a man, cannot help but add weight and im portance to the thousands of testimonials from the humbler walks of life: Gentlemen "The use of Perunn has been n blessing to those troubled with catarrh. So ninny of my acquaintances have been cured nnd benefited by Its ukc thnt It curative qualities shomu be generally known. I do not hesitate to recommend It ns the best remedy yet discovered for thnt disease." D. Y. Corbln, 010 Chicago Opera-IIousc, Chi cago, 111. iHERE are two things that the whole medical profession agree about con cerning catarrh. The first is that catarrh Is the most, prevalent and omni present disease to which the people in the United States are subject. All classes of people have It. ThoBO who stay Indtyrs much and those who go outdoors mii-h. "Working classes have It. and sedentjliry classes have it. The doctor finds catarrh to be his con stant and ever-present foe. It complicates nearly every disease he is called upon to treat. The second thing about catarrh on which alL doctors agree Is that it is difficult to cure It- Local remedies may give relief but they fall to cure permanently. Sprays or snuffs amount to little or nothing ex cept to give temporary relief. Catarrh a Systemic Disease. Catarrh is frequently located in internal organs which cannot "be reached by any sort of local treatment. All this Is known by every physician. V. WRIGHT jr GREAT many remedies to tempo J rarlly relieve catarrh have been devised from time to time, such as sprays, snuffs, creams and other local applications, but as a rule, the medical profession has little or no enthusiasm In the treatment of catarrh. It Is generally pronounced by them to be Incurable. It therefore created a great sensation in medical circles when Dr. Hartman an nounced that he had devised a com pound which would cure catarrh per manently. The remedy "was named Peruna and In a short time became known to thousands of catarrh sufferers North. (South. East and West. Letters testifying to the fact that Pe runa Is a radical cure for catarrh began to pour In from all directions. Thousands of such letters are on file In the office of the Peruna Medicine Co. In every city and hamlet of the land the phrase that Peruna cures catarrh wherever located has become almost an axiom. Peruna is a specific for all catarrhal diseases. It acts quickly and beneficially upon the inflamed mucous membrane thus removing rhe cause of catarrh. Catarrh is catarrh wherever located. Catarrh is essentially the same every where. The remedy that will cure ca tarrh In one situation will curs.lt in all situations. t - JUDGE SILAS HARE !-.. Silas Hare, of Sherman, Texas, was born in Ross County, Ohio, removed to Hamilton, Texas, when 13 years of age. Served one year in the war with Mexico. Was Chief Justice of Now Mexico Is 1852. Practiced law In Indiana In 1SS0. Settled In Sherman, Texas, In 1SG5. Was District Judge, and was elected to the 50th Con gress, was defeated by Hon. Joseph W. Bailey, now United States Senator from Texas. Is the father of Major Hare, who served with distinction in the Philip pine War. This distinguished gentleman in a letter from the Hamilton House, Washington, D. C. says: "I earnestly recommend your Peruna to nil persons suffering- with cntnrrh or nervous disorders. I nm satisfied thnt It Is n good and -wholesome rem edy." Silas Hare. Approach of Catarrh Not Always Noticed. Catarrh is silent - and insidious in Its ravages, but it pervades nearly every household and hovers like a pentllence over every hamlet and city In our land. Catarrh (and its legitimate conse quences) has desolated more hearthstones, made wretched more happy lives, and ended more brilliant careers than all other diseases combined. Catarrh may end' in deafness, blind ness, loss of smell, loss of taste, or the entire loss of voice. Diphtheria, bronchitis, pneumonia, con sumption and pleurisy begin almost al ways as the result of a catarrhal attack. The worst forms of dyspepsia and Bright's disease of the kidneys are also the direct consequences of neglected cases of acute catarrh. Even when the victims of acute ca tarrh escape all of the above mentioned liabilities, there -remains the great prob abllltiy of its ending In chronic catarrh. The only hope of success in the perma nent cure of a case of chronic catarrh is to devise some remedy that will stim ulate the nerves which supply the capil lary blood vessels. There Is but' one remedy that has this most desirable effect, and that remedy Is Perusa. Peruna is not a temporary palliative, but a radical cure. It Is the only reliable Internal remedy ever devised to cure any case of catarrh, however long tha case may havo been standing. To devise some systemic Internal remedy which would reach catarrh at Its source, to eradicate It permanently from the system this has been the desire of the medical profession for a long time. Forty years asp Dr. Hartman confronted this problem. He believed then that he had solved It. He still believes he has solved it. He cures thousands of people annually. During all these years Peruna has been the remedy upon which he has relied. There is but one remedy that has the desirable effect, and that remedy Is Peruna. Peruna Is now to be found In every drugstore and nearlv .vsrv home In the land. CATCHING COLD. How Prevented-How Cured-by the Renowned Medical Author and Physician, Dr. Hartman. CATCHING cold Is really the acute stage of catarrh. A sudden chilling of the surface of part of the body drives the blood to the Interior of the body, and its presence in unusual quan tities causes temporary congestion of soma organ, which may continue long enough to produce the disturbance called "a cold." The mucous membranes of the respiratory tract are oftcnest damaged by this rush of blood to the wanner parts of the body because of their loose struc ture, which affords little or no support to the delicate vessels turgid with an un usual supply of blood. Peruna acts di rectly on the rasa-motor system of nerves, which give tonicity to these over crowded vessels, and enables them to re gain their usual elasticity, and thus pre vent further derangement. Chronic catarrh Is so undoubtedly and directly the result of an ordinary cold that It would be quite correct to call chronic catarrh a settled or old cold. At least one-fourth of the inhabitants north of the 40th degree of latitude are more or less afflicted with catarrh in some form. To say that this vast multitude of people Is. miserable ls only to give a mild state ment of the case. An Ounce of Prevention Is Worth a Pound of Cure. The treatment of colds ought to begin with the appearance of the first symp toms. Since a cold has the invariable effect of producing congestion of somo mucous surface, the remedy forlt ought to operate there also. The compound. Peruna, was devised with especial refer ence to this effect. It operates by In creasing the circulation In the mucous membranes of the whole body, and, no matter where the cold may have settled, whether in the head, throat, lungs, kid neys or urinary organs, Peruna will Im mediately relieve the congested mem brane and stop the discharge. There Is no fact of medical science better established than that a toaspoonful of Peruna before each meal during the Winter season, will absolutely protect a person from catching cold. Now if this Is true (and there lno doubt of it) thou sands of lives would be' saved, and tens of thousands of caves of chronic catarrh prevented, by this simple precaution within reach of every one. - A Cold, the Rirst Step Toward Chronic) Catarrh. After a cold has"peen contracted a tea spoonful of PerunaTvery hour will short ly cure it leaving nj trace of it behind. After chronic catarrh has become estab lished, or the first stages of consumption have been reached, t will take much longer to effect a cv3e. It seems strange that as well knownjand as well estab lished as these fact are that any one should neglect to profit by them, and yet no doubt there are. many who pay little or no attention to them and go on catch ing cold, acquiring chronic catarrh and consumption. Peruna kept in the house and properly used will therefore not only act as a safeguard against the aliments which result from sudden cold waves, .but will also prove a sure remedy for this class of ailments. : Pe-ru-na Cannot Be Imitated. Some things may be successfully imi tated, but Peruna cannot be. Every one purchasing Peruna should' look out for Imitations. Examine each package care fully. If you have ever used Peruna, or if you have ever tasted It, you are not In the slightest danger of being misled by these imitations, but all those beginning the use of Peruna should beware. Beware of imitations. Believe no one who tells you that he has a remedy that Is making the same cures that Peruna is making. If you have any doubt as to the gen uineness of the bottle of Peruna you are using, write to Dr. Hartman and the fraud. If there be any, will soon be de tected. The Tenacious Character of Chronic Catarrh. Perhaps the majority of physicians be lieve chronic catarrh to be Incurable, but no wonder. It Is a hard disease to cure. Many physicians cannot cure it, at least only temporarily. A very few have hafl the extensive experience to cure catarrh permanently. Among these few stands Dr. Hartman. His fame in curing chronic catarrh Is known far and wide. His principal remedy. Is Peruna. He has used this remedy for nearly 40 years. It cures catarrh permanently old cases slowly but surely; new cases quickly and lastingly. There need be no failure. Coughs, colds, la, grippe. Influenza, bronchitis, and all diseases of .the throat, chest and lungs are promptly curable by Peruna. As a remedy for Winter diseases it has no equal. Men of Prominence Do Not Hesitate to Indorse Pe-ru-'ha. Over 50 members of Congress, 2S Gen erals of our Army, Governors, Admirals, Mayors, prominent lawyera, physicians, business men. club men. literary men and scholars of prominence and many other men of National reputation indorse Peruna, Thousands of people In the humbler walks of life use It as a family medicine. Used once In the home it always stays. Almost all the diseases of Winter are due to catarrh; Peruna cures catarrh where cver located. Promptness of pe-ru-na Unequaled. Peruna can be relied upon to cure slight colds and coughs and other catarrhal ailments with a promptness that is un equaled by any other remedy. It first Invigorates the system. Increases the appetito. then the patient begins to gain flesh, hope takes the place of despondency, and all the mischievous symptoms which the chronic catarrh has produced will disappear one by one in the reverse order of their appearance. It has cured thousands upon thousands of this harassing aad distress lug malady. THE day was . when men of promi nence hesitated to give their testi monials to proprietary inedlclnes for publication. This remains true today of most proprietary medicines. But Peruna has become bo justly famous, Its merits- are known to so many people of high and low station that no one hestltates to see his name in print recommending Peruna. The highest men in our Nation have given Perune a strong indorsement. Men representing all classes and stations are equally represented. The most distinguished men of the United States have no hesitation in lend ing their Influence to assist in letting the people know of the virtues of Peruna. Nearly one-half the people are In some dogree affected by catarrh. Therefore It Is almost a National curse and It is of National import that the people should know of Peruna. Catarrh is an American disease. Peruna is an American remedy. Catarrh Is the result of a changeable climate. Peruna Is the result of long and careful experimen tation. Catarrh enters the sytem through the nerve centere. Peruna enables the nerve-centers to repel and expel catarrh from the system. Catarrh Is a systemic disease, curable only by systemic treatment. A remedy that cures catarrh must aim directly at the depressed nerve centers. This Is what 'Peruna does. JUDGE W. H. PARSONS W. H. Parsons 13 ex-State Senator and ex-Special Judge of the Supreme Court of Texas, also Brigadier-General in the Confederate Army. In a recent letter from 925 H street. N. W.. Washington, D. C this prominent gentleman says: "Upon the recommendation of per sonal friends and many strong- testi monials as to the efficacy of Peruna la the treatment of the numerous symp toms of the grippe, with which I have been afflicted for four months print, I have been Induced to undergo n treat ment vrith tils Justly celebrated for mula. I feel a decided change for the better after using It only one week. It Is especially good In toning up the stomach nnd has a decided effect upon my appetite. I therefore feel much en couraged that I am on the road to com plete restoration. "My numerous friends In Texas, where, I have had the honor to com mand a brigade of her Veteran Cavalry la a four years' war, may accept this voluntary testimonial to the merits of Peruna a a sense of obligation on my part for Its wonderful efilcacy W. II. Parsons. Catarrhal Symptoms Vary According to Their Location In the Body. Every organ of the body is liable to catarrh. Symptoms of catarrh differ according- to the part affected. ' If the catarrh Is confined to the nose the symp toms will be sneezing' and mucous dis charges or the formation of dry scabs, corresponding to the stage of the dis ease. When In the pharynx It cause hawk ing, enlarged follicles and tonsils, and sometimes deafness. In the larynx It produces hoarseness and often loss of voice. As soon as It reaches the trachea and bronchial tubes, cough, with, abund ant mucous expectoration, ensues. Upon reaching the lungs catarrh speedily causes consumption, and all of the symptoms of that dread disease fol low sooner or later. Catarrh also attacks the urinary tract, producing in the kid neys "Bright's Disease," in the bladder chronic cystitis, and In the urethra small. frequent and painful micturitions. Peruna Is a specific for catarrh, wherever located and In all stages. Catarrh Is capable of changing all the life-giving secretions of the body into scalding fluids, which destroy and In flame every part they come In contact with. Applications to the places affected by catarrh can do little . good save to scothe cr quiet disagreeable symptoms. Hence it is that gargles, sprays, atom izers and Inhalants only serve as tem porary relief. If you do net derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Peruna. write at once to Dr. Hartman. giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his Valuable ad vice gratis. , Address Dr. Hartman. President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio. i JUDGE W. G. DURHAM - . I e e Judge W. G. Durham, a well-known local Judge of Greensboro, Ga., gives his experience with Peruna In tha following words: "Some time ago I contracted a severe cold which settled on my lungs and In my head. I tried many remedies, all of which gave me no rellof. I concluded my case was catarrh of the head and lungs, and seeing Peruna so highly recommended I be gan using It, experiencing the very best results from the first bottle. I continued using Peruna for a short while, and have never felt the least syrpptons of catarrh since. Peruna is cer tainly a good medicine, and deserves the highest praise which Is given It by the general public." W. G. Durham, Greensboro, Ga. tLLTAM FABK, President of Na tional College of Law, Nashville, Tenn., writes: "Two years ago I had a serious at tack of la grippe, which seemed to baf fle the physicians, and I was unable to attend to my office work aad It seri ously Interfered with my routine of business. One of my students who had been cured and benefited by using Pe runa advised me to try it, and acting on his ndvtce, I did so, but with mis givings, I can assure you.- "I was heartily surprised to Had thnt h change for the better set in nlmost as soon as I" had finished the first bottle aad I was able to take up my Work again la a week, nnd la two weeks X had entirely recovered ray good health. Peruna Is well deserving of prnlae." -William Fair. The Season of Catching Cold. HE season of catching cold is upon us. The cough and the sneeze and the nasal twang are to be heard on every hand. The origin of chronic catarrh, the most common and dreadful of diseases. Is a cold. The order In which the symptoms of chronic catarrh occur are nearly always as follows: A cold which hangs on longer than usual; a sensitiveness of the air passages, br which one catches cold easily; a con tinual cold settled In the head, throat or chest; discharges grow thicker and more offensive; los3 of flesh, despondency, loss of appetite, headache or cough, and gen eral lassitude. Now this Is about the order In which symptoms of chronic catarrh make their appearance, and if the sufferer Is fortu nate enough to find a cure the symptoms will begin to disappear In exactly the re verse order. There may be at first no perceptible improvement in the earliest symotoms, while the latter symptoms show prompt improvement. : : JUDGE H. HENRY POWERS o o Judge H. -Henry Powers, of Vermont, writes from Morrlsvllle, Vt,: "Peruna-Ih a ve used In my family with success.
