How Two Beautiful Women Escaped Dread Catarrh by Use of PE-RE-NA
Catarrh Robs Women of Health and Beauty. Pe-ru-na Makes Women Healthy and Beautiful.
Miss Amanda Johnson, Fairchild, Wis., writes:
I write to tell you how much Peruna benefited me. For a number of years I had pain in my head around my eyes, and I thought it was because my eyes needed treatment, so I went to an oculist and had glasses fitted to my eyes and wore them for some time, but felt no relief whatever. In fact, I felt worse than before, and came to the conclusion that the trouble was not with my eyes, but with my head and that it must be catarrh.
As so many of my friends had used Peruna with benefit for this trouble. I thought I would try it. I was not sorry that I did so, for in a short time I began to improve, and in four weeks my eyes were in splendid condition, my general health was much improved and all the catarrh of the head was gone. I was glad to get rid of this trouble and am glad to endorse such a good medicine as Peruna.

Miss Flora Hauser, 1032 S. New Jersey Street, Indianapolis, Ind., writes:
I think I must have been troubled with catarrh ever since I was very young, aggravated each time I caught a cold. This did not prove sufficiently serious to be obnoxious until last winter. Then my head and nose were so stopped up that I felt I must do something. Peruna was recommended to me by a friend. I used it for four weeks, and fond to my relief that it cured me. I have not had a bit of trouble since. My head is clear, and I can safely affirm that Peruna cured me.

No Woman Afflicted With Catarrh Can Be Either Beautiful or Attractive.
Hundreds of Women Cured by Pe-ru-na of Annoying Catarrh.
Dr. Hartman has probably done more than any other physician toward popularizing a means of escape from the facial deformities, such as watery eyes, twisted nose, offensive breath, dry cracked lips, due to the ravaging effects of catarrh.
He has made chronic catarrh a lifelong study. His remedy, popularly known as Peruna, is the most famous remedy for catarrh in existence.
Probably there is not a man or woman, boy or girl, within the bounds of the United States that has not heard of Peruna. By far the largest majority have used Peruna.
The multitude of people that have been cured of chronic catarrh by using Peruna can never be known.
Many a girl has regained her faded beauty, many a matron has lengthened the days of her comely appearance by using Peruna.
Peruna produces clean mucous membranes, the basis of facial symmetry and a perfect complexion.
The women have not been slow to discover that a course of Peruna will do more toward restoring youthful beauty than all the devices known to science.
While it is true that Peruna cures catarrh wherever located, yet it is advisable for everyone to use Peruna as a preventive and not wait until catarrh has fastened itself in some part of the system.
Peruna acts quickly and beneficially on the inflamed mucous membranes lining the different organs of the body. Thus it will cure catarrh wherever located.
If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

30 Feet of Bowels Cascarets Cleans
30 Feet of Bowels Cascarets Cleans | 30 FEET OF BOWELS are packed away in your insides and must be kept clean, in order and doing business.
It’s a long way, with many turns and pitfalls to catch the refuse and clog the channel if not most carefully cleaned out every day.
When this long canal is blockaded, look out for trouble:
- furred tongue
- bad breath
- belching of gases
- yellow spots
- pimples and boils
- headaches
- spitting up of food after eating – an all-around disgusting nuisance
Violent calomel purges or griping salts are dangerous to use for cleaning out the bowels. They force out the obstruction by causing violent spasms of the bowels, but they leave the intestines weak and even less able to keep up regular movements than before, and make a larger dose necessary next time.
Then you have the pill habit, which kills more people than the morphine and whiskey habits combined.
The only safe, gentle but certain bowel cleansers are sweet, fragrant CASCARETS, because they don’t force out the fecal matter with violence, but act as a tonic on the whole 30 feet of bowel wall, strengthen the muscles and restore healthy, natural action. Buy and try them! (Look out for imitations and substitutes or you can’t get results. Cascarets are never sold in bulk. Look for the trade-mark, the long-tailed “C” on the box.) You will find that in an entirely natural way your bowels will be promptly and permanently Made CLEAN and STRONG by Cascarets Liver Tonic. Best for the Bowels

Magee’s Emulsion
Medical Remedies: A Word to Consumptives – It matters not if the dreadful disease be inherited or contracted by exposure, the effects of Magee’s Emulsion will be apparent after a short course of treatment. We have seen so many marvelous cures wrought by our Emulsion in nearly every form and stage of consumption, that we fearlessly maintain that it is without an equal to-day as a specific for every kind of lung difficulty. A patient who is so far gone in consumption as to be unable to retain any other medicine on his stomach, can take MAGEE’S EMULSION without the least inconvenience. This we guarantee, and what is more, we authorize all druggists to refund the purchase money to any patient who is in a reasonable condition, and who, after taking two bottles of our Emulsion, does not gain in weight. It is plain that if a consumptive patient continues to gain in weight, a permanent cure must result.
A case of hereditary consumption cured, Syracuse, N.Y.
J. A. Magee & Co.; Sirs – I have been a long and patient sufferer from a lung difficulty; have taken a great amount of medicine, and been under the care of several physicians, all of which finally failed to benefit me. I had lost two sisters and one brother from the dread disease of consumption, and when the doctors gave me up I thought I should follow them by the ravages of the same disease. I was terribly reduced in weight, scarcely weighing 100 pounds where I once weighed 150 pounds. I took your Emulsion and at once began to experience relief, gained strength, and now weigh 150 pounds. No other medicine could have done as much for my lungs I am sure, and I can recommend it without hesitation on its own merits. Yours truly, Nellie Nolan.
See that your Druggist sells you only Magee’s Emulsion, prepared by J. A. Magee & Co., Lawrence, Mass.

Perry Davis’ Pain-Killer
A sovereign remedy! 1840 to 1874.
For the last thirty years as well as at the present day, there is no remedy in the world with a repution [sic] as widely know [sic] as Perry Davis’ Pain-Killer,
It has been tested in every variety of climate, and by almost every nation. It is the almost constant companion and inestimable friend of the missionary and the traveler, on sea and land, and no one should travel on our lakes or rivers without it.
THE REASON WHY!
Is because Perry Davis’ Pain-Killer is what it claims to be – a reliever of pain. Its merits are unsurpassed, if you are suffering from internal pain, twenty to thirty drops in a little water will almost instantly cure you. There is nothing to equal it. In a few moments it cures colic, cramps, heartburn, diarrhea, dysentery, flux, wind in the bowels, sour stomach, dyspepsia, sick headache. In sections of the country where FEVER AND AGUE prevails, there is no remedy held in greater esteem. From foreign countries the calls for Pain Killer are great. it is found to be a sure cure for SUMMER COMPLAINT. Or any other form of bowel disease in children or adults, it is almost a certain cure, and has been more successful in curing the various kinds of CHOLERA Than any other known Remedy, or even the most skillful physician. Every house keeper should keep it on hand, to apply on the first attack of any pain. It will give satisfactory relief, and save hours of suffering. Directions to accompany each bottle
