Is Peruna Useful
for Catarrh?
Should a list of the ingredients of Po
runa be submitted to any medical ex-
Sert, of whatever Bchool or nationality,
e would be obliged to admit without
reserve that each one of them was of un
doubted value in ohronio catarrhal dis
eases, and had stood the test of many
years' experience In the treatment oi
such diseases. THERE CAN EE NO
DISPUTE ABOUT THI3 WHAT
EVER. Peruna is composod o f the most
efficacious and universally used herbal
remedies for catarrh. Every ingrodient
of Poruna has a reputation of its own
in the cure of some phase of catarrh.
Peruna brings to the home the COM
BIKED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL
SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat
ment of catarrhal diseases; brings to
the home the scientific skill and knowl
edge o f the modern pharmacist ; and last
but notleast, brings to the home the vast
and varied experience of Dr. Hartman,
in the use o f catarrh remedies, and in the
treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronio catarrh is a dis
ease which is very prevalent Many
thousand people know they have
chronio catarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one of chronic
catarrh. It may be of the nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the na
ture of the disease. The only trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has tried to
cure them. That doctor has tried to
prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
Dr. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh
remedy can be made on a large scale,
as he is making it ; that it can be made
honestly, of the purest drugs and oi
the strictest uniformity. His idea k
that this remedy can be supplied direct
ly to the people, and no more be charged
for it than is necessary for the
handling of it
No other household remedy so uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents
showing, that Peruna invites the full
inspection of the critics.

THE SOURCE OF ALtmSMASE
Every part of the body la dependent on the blood for nourishment and
Strength. When this life stream is flowing through the system la a Btate of
purity and richness we are assured of perfect and uninterrupted health ;
tecause pure blood i3 nature's safe-guard against disease. When, however,
the body is fed on weak, impure or polluted blood, the system i3 deprived of
its strength, disease germs collect, and the trouble is manifested in various
ways. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different skin affections
show that the blood Is in a feverish and diseased conauion as a result of too
much acid or the presence of eome irritating 'humor. Sores and Ulcers are
the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism, Ca
tarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, etc., are all deep-seated blood
disorders that will continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains.
These impurities and poisons find their way into the blood in various ways.
Often a sluggish, inactive condition of the system, bud torpid 6tate of the
avenues of bodily waste, leaves the refuse and waste matters to sour and
form uric and other acids, which are taken up by the blood and distributed
throughout the circulation. Coming in contact with contagious diseases is
another cause for the poisoning of the blood ; we also breathe the germs and
microbes of Malaria into our lungs, and when these get into the blood in
Sufficient quantity it becomes a carrier of disease instead of health. Some
are so unfortunate as to inherit bad blood, perhaps the dregs of some old
constitutional disease of ancestors is handed down to them and they are
constantly annoyed and troubled with it. Bad blood is the source of all dis
ease, and until this vital fluid is cleansed and purified the body is sure to
Buffer in some way. For blood troubles of any character S. S. S. is the best
remedy ever discovered. It goes down into the circulation and removes any
and all poisons, supplies the healthful properties it needs, and completely

history of the United States that a
blind man has ever been sent to the
fumUi, as Mr. Gore will bo when state
hood Is accomplished under the present
proposed constitution.

years old. It was during that time that
he lost his eyesight by an accident
with an arrow gun. Three years pre
lvously he had lost his left eye, a play
mate, In a moment of passion, striking
him with a stone. '
Mr. Gore Is but 30 years of age. He
lives at Lawton, has a wife and four
children, and is a lawyer by profes
sion. His memory Is a wonder. When
his father prepared to send him to a
blind school, he refused to go, saying
that schools for the blind did not fur
nish him the books and opportunity he
desired. So. he went to the public
schools and college, getting through by
reason of his acute memory.
Watery Eyes. Relief may be obtain
ed by bathing the eyes several times a
day with a wash consisting of ten
grains of pure borax and two ounces
of camphor water.
Rheumatic Knee. Try salicylate of
aoda, five drams ; tincture of nux vom
ica, three drams, and essence of pepsin
enough to make four ounces. The dose
for an adult Is one teuspoonful every
two or three hours.
Superfluous Hair. A growth of hair
Is annoying to a girl who wears short
sleeves. Depilatories are dangerous and
electrolysis, the only sure cure, Is an
expensive treatment To minimize the
trouble dark hairs may be bleached.
Wash the arms with a weak solution of
ammonia and water. Then pour aylit
tle peroxide of hydrogen In the water
and apply with a piece of linen. The
bleaching process will have to be re
peated from time to time, but peroxide
is harmless to the skin.
Nasal Catarrh. In the treatment of
this persistent and often Intractable dis
order, good results have been obtained
by the Internal administration five or
six times each day of one-half teaspoon
f ul doses In one-half ounce of water of
a mixture of one ounce of specific echin
acea and two ounces of stilllngla. The
latter Intensifies the action of echina
cea in Its influence upon the mucous
surfaces. Tincture of gelsemlum, two
drops every hour during the day, push
ed to a physiological point, will abort a
catarrhal cold. Three grains of salicy
late of strontium, added to each dose,
reinforces It If rheumatism is suspected.
Neuralgia. If the neuralgia Is in the
right side of the face the left hand
should be placed in a basin of water as
hot as can be born; or If neuralgia Is
In the left side of the face, then the
right hand should be placed In the hot
water. It Is asserted that In this way
relief may be obtained in less than five
minutes. The two nerves which have
the greatest number of tactile endings
ere the fifth and the medium nerve.
As the fibers of these two nerves cross
any Impulse conveyed to the left hand
will affect the right side of the face,
or if applied to the right hand will
affect the left side of the face. This
Is on account of the crossing of the
cords. - ,
