ex-prime minister
OF HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
immends Peruna to His Friends
a Positive Catarrh Remedy.
Hon. Celso Cesar Moreno, Ex-Prime Minister of Hawaii*
The Hon. Celso Caesar Moreno, ex-Prime Minister of Hawaii, and projector of
$he Trans-Pacific cable, 1876, is a distinguished statesman, and the best known
Italian in the country. In a letter from Washington, D. c., to the Peruna Med
icine Co., he says :
«/ can commend your, great national catarrh cure, Peruna, to
my friends throughout the country as a safe, reliable medicine. l
know of no other tonic that will build a person up as well as Peruna.
It is a positive cure for the universal disease, catarrh, and those who
will try this remarkable medicine will find a sure cure.
Very respectfully, Celso Cassar Moreno.

Charles B. Royer, 909 W. Washington
treet, Morristown, Pa., writes:
“My oldest
daughter Malin
da Royer,is cured
of deafness by
Peruna. When
she began to take
Peruna we had to
go up close to her
and talk very
loud to make her
hear.
“After taking
one-half dozen
bottles of Peruna
she can hear you in any part of the
room. She can hear an ordinary con
versation.”
Thousands of people have ca
tarrh who would be surprised to
know it, because it has been called
some other name than catarrh.
The fact is, catarrh is catarrh
wherever located; and another
fact which is of equally great im
portance, that Peruna cures ca
tarrh wherever located.
Catarrh is an American disease.
Fully one-half of the people are
afflicted more or less with it in
some form. Previous to the dis
covery of Peruna, catarrh was
considered well nigh incurable.
Since the introduction of Peruna
to the medical profession thou,
sands of cases are cured annually.
Mr. W. M. Holland, of Hartwell, Ga„
proprietor of the Hartwell Tin Works,
writes of Peruna as follows :
“I am more than pleased with the
benefits derived from Peruna. The
winterof 1899my weight was 150*ponnds.
I used several bottles during the winter
and now weigh 211.
“I have recommended it to all my
friends both as a tome and catarrh cure.
If I had been lucky enough to have seen
it several years ago Peruna would have
saved me much mconvenienee. l ean
never be too thankful to you for the
benefits received from your valuable
remedy. My mother has also been won*
de'rfully benefited by your valuable
remedy.” t .
