"My catarrh was principally located 1
in my head and stomach. I tried

tried several doctors, but they were]

As a rule, people when ailing apply very properly to a doctor before re
sorting to a ready-to-takc medicine. The great majority are cured by the.
doctor. But a per cent, of chronic cases fail to find a cure and at
last begib to use rcady-to-take medicines. It is very noticeable indeed the
number of people among our testifies who say that it was only after the
doctor had failed to cure them that they were induced to take Peruna.
Then they find to then- relief, to their surprise, to their joy, that Peruna
