Stabler, Payne, Ohio, writes: “Iliad catarrh of the head. 1 tried a local catarrh remedy and it did me no good ; I tried two different snuffs and they did me no good ; I tried a catarrh balm and it did me no good; our home doctor and his med icine did me no good ; I tried a Fort Wayne doctor and he did me no good. I gave them all up, for they were doing me no good. All they were after was my money, and they got it, and that was all they wanted. Then I got a Pfl*ru-na Alma- nac, 1 read it all through and saw that Pe-ru-na was highly recommended for cutrrrh. I took eight bottles and they cured me sound and well. I am 5*9 years old and I can do a goo dday’s work right along. I think Pe-ru-na is the best medicine that was ever got up for catarrh. I think everyone that has catarrh should use it, as I believe lt ( will do the same for others as it has' done for me.” Send to The Pe-runa Drug Manu facturing Company, Columbus, Ohio, for Dr. Hartman’s free book on ca tarrh.
