Hipplegate, Supt. of Public Works, 01 West 0th St., .Lexington, Ivy., writes: "I find that Peruna is an excellent medicine especially for catarrhal affections and all diseases leading to consumption, bronchial troubles or stomach troubles. It also acts as a preventative and keeps the system in a healthy condition so that it easily throws off disease. It is an excellent tonic and a great appetizer and as a large number of those who have been using it speak very highly of its curative powers, I am satisfied that my opinion of it is correct, and that it is deserving of high praise." ?J. H. Ilipplegate. Peruna is the remedy for catarrh. Almost everybody knows that by hearsay and thousands know it by experience. Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly becoming a national curse. An undoubted reinedj* has been discovered by Dr. Hart man. This remedy has been thorough]}' tested during the past forty years. Peruna cures catarrh in all phases and stages. There is no remedy that can be substituted. If you do not dei ive prompt and satisfactory results from the use "of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your ease, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad* vice gratis.
