WHAT IS PE-RU-NA?

’s it a Catarrh Remedy, or a Tonic, or is it Both? Some people call Peruua a great onic. Others refer to Peruna as a Teat catarrh remedy. Which of these people are right) 3 it more proper to call Peruna a car arrh remedy than to call it a tonic? Our reply is, that Peruna is both a onio and a catarrh remedy. Indeed here can be no effectual catarrh ready that is not also a tonic. In order to thoroughly relieve any ase of catarrh, a remedy must not nly have a specific action on the muons membranes effected, by the ca arrh, but it must have a general tonic action on the nervous system. Catarrh, even in persons who are therwise strong, is a weakened conition of some mucous membrane, there must be something to strengthen the circulation, to give tone to the arteries, and to raise the vital forces. Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the world has attracted so much attention from medical writers as HYDRASTIS JANADENSIS. The wonderful efficacy of this herb has been recognized nahy years, and is growing in its holdipon the medical profession. When oined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a rio of medical agents is formed in Penna which constitutes a specific remedy for catarrh that in the present to to of medical progress cannot be mproved upon. This action, reinforced by such renowned tonics as OOLUNSONIA CANADENSIS, CORYDALIS FORMOSA and CEDRON SEED, ought to make this compound -n ideal remedy for catarrh in all its stages and locations in the body. From a theoretical standpoint, therefore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The use of Peruna, confirms this opininn, Numberless testimonials from every quarter of the earth furnish ample evidence that this judgment is not over enthusiastic. When practical experience confirms a well-grounded theory the result is a truth that cannot be shaken.
