At the ap pearance of the fl r s t symptom of kidney trou ble, Peruna should be taken. This remedy h t r 1 k i h at once the very root of the disease. It at once relieves the catarrhal kidneys of the stagnant blood, pre venting the escape of the serum from the blood. Peruna stimulates tho kidneys to excrete from tho blood tho accumulating poison, and thus pre vents the convulsions which aro sure to follow If tho poisons ure allowed to remain. It gives gieat vigor to the heart's action and digestive system, both of which are apt to fall rapidly In this disease. Catarrh of the kidneys quickly leads to chronic Brlght's Disease. Peruna should bo taken at the ap-' pearanco of the first symptom. If taken in the early stages of the dis ease, Peruna is sure to cure every case. Peruna cures catarrh of the kidneys simply because It cures ca tarrh wherever located. No other systemic catarrh remedy has as yet been devised. Insist upon having Peruna. There are no medicines that can bo substituted. A boolc on catarrh, written by Dr. Hartman, will be bent free to any ad dress by Tho Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio. Mt.
