CATARRH MADE LIFE A BURDEN TO ME. RRISS ANNIE CATRON, 927 Main St., Cincinnati, Ohio, writes: ‘‘As I have found Peruna a blessing for a severe case of catarrh of the head and throat which I suffered from for a number of years, I am only too pleased to give it my personal endorsement. “Catarrh, such as I suffered from, made life a burden to me, my breath was offensive, stomach bad, and my bead stopped up so that I was usually troubled with a headache, and although I tried many so-called remedies, nothing gave me permanent relief. I was rather discouraged with all medicines when Peruna was suggested to me. “However, I did buy a bottle, and before that was finished there was a marked change in my condition. Much encouraged I kept on until I was completely cured in a month’s time, and. I find that my general health is also excellent.” People who prefer solid medicines should try Peruna tablets. Each tablet represents one average dose of Peruna. Man-a-lin the Ideal Laxative. Ask Your Druggist for Free Penn a Almanac for 1908.

This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. > Traveler's Picture Booka.
