Tho opinion of tho foremost pri

Oats. Tho government's Juno in

Are we elaltoiag too much for Peruna
whea we ckim it to be sin effective
reraady for chronio catarrh ? Havo we
abundant proof that Peruna is in real
ity such a catarrh remedy ? Let us sco
what the United States Dispensatory
says of the principal ingredients of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
Hydrastis cmadomis, or golden seal.
Tho United Statca Dispensatory says
of this horbal remedy, that it ia largely
employed in tho treatment of depraved
mucous mombranos, chronic rhinitis
(nasal catarrh), atonio dyspepsia 'ca
tarrh of the stomach), chronic intesti
nal catarrh, catarrhal janndico (ca
tarrh of tho liver), and in diseased
mucous membranes of tho pelvic
organs. It is also rccotnmended for
tho treatment of various forms of dis
eases peculiar to women.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis formosoy ii classed in the United
States Disponsatory a a tonic. So also
is cubobs classed as a atoraachio and as
a tonio for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient of
Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked bv the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found in
very few drug store. The United
States Dispensatory says of the action
of cedron that it is used as a bitter
tonio and in tho treatment of dysen
tery, and in intermittent diseases as a
substitute for quinine.
Oil of copaiba, another ingredient
of Peruna, is classed by the United
States Dispensatory as a mild stimu
lant and diurotic. It acts oh tho stom
ach and intestinal tract It acta as a
stimulant on tho gonlto-urinary mem
branes. Usofnl in chronio cystitis,
chronio dysentery and diarrhea, and
somo chronio diseases of the liver and
kidnoys.
Send to ua for a free book of testi
monials of what tho people think oi
Peruna as a catarrh remedy. Tho best
cvidonco is tho testimony of thoso who
