Catarrh
Is a constitutional disease.
It originates in a scrofulous condition of
the blood and depends on that condition.
It often causes headache and dizziness,
impairs the taste, smell and hearing, af
fects the vocal organs, disturbs the stomach.
It is always radically and permanently
cured by the blood-purifying, alterative
and tonic action of

Indigestion and stomach trouble
have many results that are not always
readily traced to their real cause.
Sometimes the kidneys are apparently,,
affected but more often an irregulari
ty of the heart's action produces a far
more alarming symptom. . The cause
is easily explained and is removed
when the stomach trouble is cured.
A case in point is that of Mrs. W. T.
Clark, of 318 West Thomas street,
Borne, N. Y. She says:
"To begin with, I had gastritis,
which brought on sinking spells for
about an hour every morning,,, I was
very weak and nervous and finally was
compelled to take to..- my bed. .... My
illness began in the spring of 1897,
and continued for about four months.
For about half this time I was con
fined to my bed. I suffered greatly
from the stomach trouble and ner
vousness, but what alarmed me most
was the sinking feeling at the heart.
"I had read about Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People and when
some of my friends recommended the
pills very highly, I decided to give
them a trial. I bought one box. and
by the time this was used up the sink
ing spells had ceased, f ; I felt better
but continued taking the pills until I
had used 12 boxes. I still keep the
pills in the house for I believe that
they are a splendid medicine. I
always recommend Dr. Williams
Pink Pills to my friends who are ail
ing for I know that they will do all
that is claimed for them."

the horse, was soon floundering in deep

and are making public utterances on
the subject. To.save the country we
must save the people. To save the
people we must protect them from
disease. The disease that is at once the
most prevalent and stubborn of cure
is catarrh. Public men of all parties
recognize in Peruna a national catarrh

Rheumatism is due to an excess of acid in the
blood. When this escapes through the pores of the
6kin, as it often does, it produces some form of skin
eruption some itching disease like Eczema or

are suddenly closed by exposure to cold and sudden
chilling of the body, then the poisons thrown off by J

extremely tender, the nerves break down and the sufferer is 60on reduced to a state
of helplessness and misery. This acid poison penetrates the joints and seems to
dry out the natural oils, and the legs, arms and fingers become so stiff and sore
that every movement is attended with excruciating pains.
Liniments,' plasters, electricity and baths, while their use may give temporary
ease, cannot be called cures, for the disease returns with every change of the weather.
