H.'E' FURLONG. Member. I Cured of Catarrh of the Entire Sys Of tho Tlllrtv.flfth nonnr.lt Auum. I ON. JOHN J. FURLONG. Mcmbca nf the Thlrtv-flfth Oenonil Aqm. bly of tho State ot Illinois, writes ot Poruna-ns follows: Gentlemen "I enn safely recom mend Peruna as a romedy that will cure all catarrlial troubles. "It was of great benoflt to mo as it cured me of catarrh of the throat nnd lungs permanently and in a voiy short time. I am glad to add my endorsement to that of others" John J. Furlong. The older In which the symptoms ot chronlo catnrth occur are nearly al ways as follows: A COLD WHICH HANGS ON LON GER THAN USUAL: a sensitiveness of tho nlr passages, by which one catches cold easily; a continual set tled cold In the head, throat, or chest; discharges grow thicker and moto of fensive, loss of flesh, despondency, loss of appetite, hcadacho or cough, and general lassitude. Now this Is about the order In which symptoms of chronlo catarrh make their appearance, nnd If the sufferer Is fortunate enough to find a cure the symptoms will begin t3" disappear In exactly the reverse order. There may be at llrst no peiceptlble1 Improvement In tho earliest symptoms, while the latter symptoms siiow piompt Im provement. This is Exactly What Peruna Will Do in tho Cure of Chronic Catarrh. It first Invigorates the system, tin creases the appetite, then the patient begins to gain flesh, hopo tnke3 tlw place of despondency, and all the mis chievous symptoms which the chronlq catarrh has produced will disappear one by one In the roverso order of their appearance. Cures Made in This Way Aie Perma nent Curos.
