XXX. -Is Pe-ru-na Useful for Catarrh? | Shoulda list ofthe ingredients of Pe- , runa be submitted to any medical ex- pert, of whatever school or nationality, | he would be obliged to admit without | reserve that each one of them was of | undoubted value in chronic catarrhal | diseases and had stood the test of many | years’ experience in the treatment of stich diseases. THERE CAN BE NO | DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT- | : EVER. Peruna iscomposed ofthe most | efficacious and universally used herbal | . remedies for catarrh. Every ingred- , ient of Peruna has a reputation of its | owninthecureofsome phaseofcatarrh. | Peruna brings to the home the COM- | BINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE inthe treat- | ment of catarrhal diseases; brings to the home thescientific skill and knowl- edge of the modern pharmacist; and | ' last but not least, brings to the home the | vast and varied experience of Dr, Hart- | : man, in the use ofcatarrh remedies,and | in the treatment of catarrhal diseases, | The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis- | ease which is very prevalent, Many 7 hy thousand people know they have / chronic catarrh, They have visited doctors over and over again, and been \ told that their case is one of chronic | catarrh, It may be of the nose, throat, lungs, stomach or some other internal organ. There is no doubt as to the na- ture of the disease. The only trouble isthe remedy. This doctor has tried to cure them. That doctor has tried to prescribe for them. BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO BRING ANY RELIEF, Dr. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh | remedy can be made on a large scale, | as he is making it; that it can be made honestly, of the purest drugs and of | \ the strictest uniformity. His idea is \ % that this remedy can be supplied di- | rectly to the people, and no more be charged for it than is necessary for | i the handling of it, \ No other household remedy so uni- versally advertised carries upon the | label the principal active constituents, showing that Peruna invites the full inspection of the critics, — Saved Sherman’s Ammunition.

The Republican party will have a deal to answer for when History and Philosophy come to take thelr final measurements and to balance the ac count between wisdom and folly.| ightand wrong, in the government of the country through half a cen- tury of misconception and malad- mintstration of Southern affairs. But none of these questions touches the present presidential campatgn. With the South solid behind it the Democratle party was never less sec- tional and more national.
