I have been troubled with chronic catarrh for over six years. I had tried several remedies withoutrelief. A lodgefriend advised me to try Peruna, and I began to use it faithfully before each meal. Since then I have always kept it in the house. I am now in better health than I have been in over twenty years, and I feel sure my catarrh is permanently cured." Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.

As soon a as Peruna removes sys. temic catarrh the digestion becomes good, nerves strong, and trouble ishes. Peruna strengthens weak nerves, not by temporarily stimulating them, removing the cause of weak nerves catarrh. This the is the only cure that lasts. Remove cause; nature will do the rest.

Peruna removes the cause, Address The Peruna Medicine Company, Columbus, Ohio, for a book treating of catarrh in its differ. ent phases and stages, a book entitled and Beauty," writter especially for women. GRAFTON. Ervin Watrous is with friends in Schuylerville, N. Y.

A. D. Fassenden of 75 Main street, "The medicine that has the merits of Doan's Kid- ney Pills can have my endorsement at any time. As time went by pain across my back and hips became so severe and finally extended up my back, I had to be careful in stooping, lifting or making any quick movement. I used well known medicines but they did not hit my case.

I felt as tired in the morning as when I went to bed and what sleep I did get did not refresh me. While in this condition I read a statement of a person from Springfield, recommending Don's Kidney pills which induced me to take a course of treatment. I took four boxes and I could do twice the work I could before the treatment.
