CATARRH THIRTY YEARS.
i
CONGRESSMAN MEEKISON OF OHIO.
!
?
Hon. David Meekison is well known, not only in his own State, but through
out America. He began his political career by serving four consecutive terms
as Mayor of the town in which lie lives, during which time he became widely
known as the founder of the Meekison liank of Napoleon. Ohio. He was elected
to the Fifty-fifth Congress by a very large majority, and is the acknowledged
leader of his party in his section of the State.
Only one flaw marred the otherwise complete successof this risingstatesman.
Catarrh with its insidious approach and tenacious grasp, was his only unconquered
foe. For thirty years he waged unsuccessful warfare against this personal
enemy. At last Peruna came to the rescue, and he dictated the following letter
to Dr. Hartman as the result:
-T
T
“ / have used several bottles of Peruna and / feeI greatly benefited J
thereby from my catarrh of the head. / feel encouraged to believe that if f
/ use It a short time longer I will be fully able to eradicate the disease of
thirty years’ standing. David Meekison, Member of Congress.
THE season of catching- cold is upon
us. The cough and the sneeze
and the nasal twang are to be
heard on every hand. The origin of
chronic catarrh, the most common and
dreadful of diseases, is a cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh
generally begins. A person catches
cold, which hangs on longer than usual.
The cold generally starts in the head
and throat. Then follows sensitive
ness of the air passages which incline
one to catch cold very easily. At last
the person has a cold all the while
seemingly, more or less discharge from
the nose, hawking, spitting, frequent
clearing of the throat, nostrils stopped
up, full feeling in the head, and sore,
inflamed throat.
The besttime to treat catarrh isatthe
very beginning. A bottle of Peruna prop
erly used, never fails to cure a common
cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.
While many people have been ctired.
of chronic catarrh by a single bottle of
Peruna,- yet. as a rule, when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly fixed more than
one bottle is necessary to complete a
cure. Peruna has cured cases innumer
able of catarrh of twenty years'stand
ing. It is the best, if not the only inters
nal remedy for chronic catarrh in ex
istence.
But prevention is far better than cure.
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the
slightest symptom of cold or sore throat
at this season of the year and thus pre
vent what is almost certain to end in
chronic catarrh.

A Sew A'bvel Attracting Attention.
“Lionel Ardon,” by Malcolm Dearborn, is
a new historical novel brought out- by l)il
lingham & Co., in November last. It has
many points on which to commend it for
its superiority to the reading public! There
is, at present, such a deluge of hew novels
that when one can be picked out whose in
terest is so intense and whose characters
are so well drawn.like all productions of
true merit, it is soon placed in the first rank.
At the time of the publication of this vol
ume we had the pleasure of favorably're
viewing it, and we are pleased to note the
■ general apprecia'tiori of “Lionel Ardon” by
the. America!#- press. The following is from
the Boston Beacon:
"In this book the reader renews acquaint
ance with Knglish history by means of a
story delicately conceived and very inter
estingly told. The historical fchnra'cters'are
-well drawn and the imaginary ones are true
to life, past or present. This is the first
novel to utilize the beautiful'face and-char
acter of Lady Jane Grey ami she makes a
very attractive part of the story. Lionel
Ardon from boyhoodto manhood plays
worthily the hero’s part. The book is very
strikingly hound in dark blue and gilt with
a decorative touch by the outlines of the
rose and thistle in colors and two inverted
swords in white.” ’ ~ _-_'

THE CHILDREN ENJOY
Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoy
ment which they receive and the efforts which they make, conies the
greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their
happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is
given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs
on which it acts, should be, such as physicians would sanction, because its
component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from
every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents,
well-informed, approve and recommend.' and which the little ones enjoy,
because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is—
Syrupof Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should
t>e used by fathers and mothers. '
Syrup of Figs is fhe only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and
naturally Without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the
system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results
from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against
which the children should be so carefully guarded. If yell would have them
grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give
them ..medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs
assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and
gentle—Syrup of Figs.
Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the
laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but
also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of
the little ones, do not’accept any qf the substitutes which unscrupulous deal
ers sometimes offer- to increase their profits. The genuine article may be
bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle. Please
, , to remember, the full .name of the Company —
CALIFORNIA FIG SYR.UP CO.- is printed oa
the front of every pack
age. In order to get its
beneficial effects it is air
ways necessary to buy
the genuine only.
