with catarrh of the stomach and ner

four months.
"A friend called my attention to a

Mr. Koiiert J. Gillespie, 686 South

A friend also called his attention to

tho use of the remedy for a month, he
considers himself permanently relieved.
Now, once more. Mr. Christian Hof
Bian, SJatington, P&., says he suffered
for many years with catarrh of the
stomach. It produced a miserable

that he was entirely rid of his stomach

8ymptoms of Stomach Catarrh.
"The affection may result from errors
in diet, or the uso of alcohol. The ex
cessive use of tobacco, especially when
tho Juice or tho leaves are swallowed,
is likely to cause it.
"Highly seasoned or eoarse, irritating
foods, sometimes induce the disease.
"As ciironic gastritis (catarrh of the
stomach) Is essentially a secondary
affection, one of the primary causen is
an unhealthy state of tho mouth, nose
or throat, such as bad teeth or catarrh
of the nose (ozena).
"The patients are usually poorlj
nourished, pale, sallow, thin, fatigue
easily induced, muscles flabby. Loss
of appetite or capricious appetite.
"The tongue is usually coated brown
ish gray. Cankered mouth is a com*
mon occurrence.
Pain is not common. When present
it is usually dull, and is aggravated by
food, especially when this is of an irri
tating character.
"Vomiting may occur in the morning.
Also after meals. Sickness to the stom
ach frequent and persistent.
"Food produces dull headache, and
feeling of general nervous distress.
Constipation usually quite marked."
These symptoms, given by Gould and
Pyle, coincide exactly with the
frequent
descriptions I)r. llartman is receiving
from patients
all over the United States.
If you Have any of these symptoms
get a bottle of Peruna. Take a dose be
fore each meal. See if your stomach
does not immediately feel better, your
appetite improve, your digestion at
once resume business.
People who object to liquid medicines
can now secure Peruna tablets.
