In some homes even the visitor is given a teaspoonful with every meal. Why such wide and general use? Because Hood’s Sarsaparilla Has proved itself by its wonderful effects in cleansing the system of all humors, over- coming that tired feeling, creating appetite, clearing the complexion, giving strength and animation, the best Spring Medicine and blood purifier. Buy a bottle and have the whole family begin to take it to-day. ““ It is about twelve years since I first saw Hood’s Sarsapatilia advertised, and we began using it as a spring medicine, We have used it every year since with good results, and I recommend it to others for impure Elood and that tired feeling.” MRS.

His Mother’s Earnest Appeal to Use Peruna Is Followed and He Is Cured of a Very Bad Phase of Catarrh of the Lungs. ERUNA atfained great popularity among the officers and privates of the army. as well as the navy, dur- ing the late war with Spain. A great many letters weré received from field and hospital corps indicating that this popular climatic remedy had become well nigh mndisvensable to them. Peruna is not oniy u national remedy, but has proven iiself a national blessing, Letters from ever$ quarter are received daily testifying to the virtues of Peruna in cases of catarrh that had long since 8iven up all hope of cure. Coughs, colds, influenza, la grippe and Ut e tarrh yield at once to the action of Peruna. No case of catarrh can en- tirely resist the curative virtues of Pe. runa, as every case is either cured or permanently benefited. Mr. Wm. Stegman, member Co. L, 30th Volunteer Infantry, writes as fol- APPLETON, WIS, 430 Washington st.

The above case was one of catarrh of the lungs. This condition s often mis- taken for consumption, and is undoubted. ly the first stage of this dread dlsease. Thousands of ~ instances In which a prompt recovery has followed the use of >eruna in catarrh of the lungs shows that this remedy can be relied upon to cure this class of cases. An Officer’s Narrow Escape From an Aggravated Attack of Catarrh of Kidneys. Another case very similar to the above was that of Capt. John Friebertshauser, captain of the German artillery, Reg't No. 11, who suffered with catarrh of the kidreys, due to exposure of army life. Peruna cured him quickly and perma- nently, and in a letter from 202 Montrose boulevard, Chicago, Iil., he gives his ex- nce in the following words: xposure during army life seemed to affect my kidneys,-and I was afrald I ©000000000Q0000000000000000000000000000000000000336000000000300000000800000000000000000 “luu""‘ Eirc i .
