True Cause ef Placate,
I ff these days almost every ailment
'•» supposed to be caused by disease
germs.
The medical profession as well as the
people, seem to have gone mad over
the germ theory of disease.
The universal fear and dread of dia-
•*•* germs is becoming a very serieus
matter to the welfare and happlncaa < f
the people.
Dr. Hartman has consistently con
tended through alt the rise and spread
of the gsrm theory, that moat disease*
aro caused by elimatlo influence*.
For Instance, catching cold' Is re
sponsible for more than one-half of the
Ills to which human beings are subject.
Danger of Neglected Cold*.
A person eatehoo cold easily, thlftk*
nothing about It. naglacta it, whan It
Anally bocomoa settled In some organ
of th* body, and ehronio diaoaao is tit*
result. >
A few doses of Paruna In th# begin
ning of the cold would have saved
month* of suffering, as wall as great
expense for traatmoot.
Peruna is a reliable relief for cold.
Almost everybody knows thla.
Instead of trying to dislodge or kill
aome Imaginary germ. If Paruna waa
u»*d at the proper time its tonic prop
erties and antl-catarrha! qualities
would soon convince the patient that
he has found th* right remedy.
A multitude of letters are received
testifying to this fact.
Keep Peruna In the house. Us* It
whenever cold or oltmatlo affections
assail, and sickness In th* household
will become greatly leaaanad. If not H-
tlrely prevented.
Catarrh of the Stomach.
Mr. Christian Hofmann. K. F. D. 1.

"For many year* 7 suffered with
