■ H H iiw5i665i6flBjÿewii U. S. DISPENSATORY Oocribcs the Principal Ingredients Con­ tained in Pe-ru-na. Are we claiming too much for Peruna when we claim it to be an effective remedy for chronic catarrh? Have we abum'a it proof that Peruna ia in reali­ ty euch a cala rh remedy? Let ua see what tiie United States Dispensatory says of the principal ingredients of Peruna. Take, for instance, the ingredient of hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal. The United States Dispensatory says of this bubal remedy, that it la largely employed in the treatment of depraved mucuous membranes, chronic rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atonic dyspepsia (ca­ tarrh of the stomach), chronic intes­ tinal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice (ca­ tarrh of the liver), and in diseased mu­ cous membranes of the pelvic organs. I t is also recommended for the treat­ ment of various forms of diseases pecu­ liar to women. Another ingredient of Peruna, cory- dalis formosa, is classed in the United States Dispensatory as a tonic. So also is cubebs classed as a stomachic and aB a tonic for the mucous membranes. Cedron 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 found in very few drug stores. The United States Dispensatory says of the action of cedron that it is used as a bitter tonic and in the treament of dysentery, and in intermittent diseases as a sub­ stitute for quinine. 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 intestii al tract. It acts as a stimulant on the genito-urinary membranes. Useful in chronic cyetilis, chronic dys­ entery and diarrhea, and some chronic diseases of the liver and kidneys.

CATARRH BLO O D D IS E A S E S A N D S Y S T E M D IS O R D E R E D l S Catarrh is not merely an inflammation of the tissues of the head and throat, as the symptoms o f ringing noises in the ears, mucous dropping back into the throat, continual hawking and spitting, etc., would seem to indi­ cate ; it is a blood disease in which the entire circulation and the greater part o f the system are involved. Catarrh is due to the presence of an excess o f uric acid in the blood. The Liver, Kidneys and Bowels frequently be­ come torpid and dull in their action and instead o f carrying off the refuse and waste of the body, leave it to sour and form uric acid in the system. This is taken up by the blood and through its circulation distributed to all parts o f the system. These impurities in the blood irritate and inflame the different membranes and tissues of the body, and the contracting o f a cold w ill start the secretions and other disgusting and disagreeable symptoms o f Catarrh.
