FOR THIRTY YEARS Congressman Meekison Suffered with Catarrh —Read His Endorsement of Pe-ru-na.

CONGRESSMAN MEEKISON, OF OHIO.

lion. David Meekison is well known, not only in his own-State but throughout • America. He began his political career by serving four consecutive .terms as Mayor of the town in which he lives, during which time he' became widely known as the founder of the Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio., ;lle was.ejected to.the Fifty-fifth Congress by a very large majority, and is the acknowledged leader of his paHyHn.his section of the State. . ■ .< , Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete success of this rising statesman. Catarrh with its insidious approach and tenacious grasp, was his only uncon--quered foe. For thirty years he waged unsuccessful warfare against tins personal enemy. At last Peruna came to the rescue, and he dictated the following letter to Dr. Hartman-as the result: ■ > ■ J “/ have used several bottles of Peruna and I feel greatly benefited | < thereby from my catarrh of the head, I feel encourgcd to believe that if < ?' I use it a short time longer I will be fully able to eradicate the disease of | ( thirty years’ standing.”—David Meekison, ex-Member of Congress. i

THE season of catching cold is upon us. The cough and the sneeze and nasal twang are to be heard on every hand. The origin of chronic catarrh, the most common and dreadful of diseases, is a <old. This is the way the chronic catarrh generally begins. A person catches cold, which hangs on longer than usual. The cold generally starts in the head and throat. Then follow sensitiveness of the air passages which incline one to catch cold very easily. At last the person has, a cold all the while seemingly, more or less discharge from the noge, hawking, spitting, frequent clearing of the throat, nostrils stopped up, full feeling in the head and sore, inflamed throat. The best time to treat catarrh is at the very beginning. A bottle of Peruna properly used never fails to cure a common cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh. While many people have been cured of chronic catarrh by a single bottle ofI’eruna, yet. as a rule, when the catarrh becomes thoroughly fixed, more than one bottle is necessary to complete a cure. Peruna has cured cases innumerable of catarrh of twenty years' standing. It is the best, if not the only internal remedy for chronic catarrh in existence. But prevention is far better than cure. Every person subject to catching cold should take Peruna at once at the slightest symptom of cold or sore throat at this season of the year .and thus prevent what is almost certain to end in chronic catarrh.
