M I contracted a severe cold several years ago, which from neglect developed into urinary trouble, and threatened Bright’s disease. I used Peruna faithfully for three and one-half months, when my health was perfect once more. I have never had any trouble since.”— O. Fred Lindstrom. Catarrhal inflammation of the mucous lining of the kidney's, also called “ Bright’s disease,” may be either acute or chronic. The acute form produces symptoms of such prominence that the serious nature of the disease is at once suspected, but the chronic variety may come on so gradually and insidiously that its presence Is not suspected until after it has fastened itself thoroughly upon its victim. At the appearance of the first symptom Peruna should he taken. This remedy r trikes at once at the very root of the disease. A book on catarrh sent free by Th® Pqr’una Medicine Co., Columbus, O.
