Kid ney disease and catarrh are seldom as sociated in the OVt&ds of Ike people, and. alas, it is uot tscjr often ftftftoeiated In the minds of the physicians. Too few physicians recognise catarrh of the kidneys. They doctor lor something eLie. They try this remedy and that remedy. The trouble may "be catarrh all the time. A fww bottles of Peruna would cure them. Pe-ru-na Removes th3 Cause of the Kidney Trouble. Peruna strikes at the very centre of the difficulty ,by ersdieating the catarrh from the kidneys.
