AN INCESSANT COM.
Continued Dropping of Mucus
into my Tkroat.
A severe cough is always a grave
symptom. It may not indicate or
ganic dißease of the lungs. Even
though the cough Is a functional dis
turbance it is of sufficient gravity to
'i-mand prompt attention.
The dropping of mucus from the
back part of the nose into the throat
indicates nasal catarrh. Sometimes
this goes on a long time before the
patient pays any attention to it. It
is stated on good authority that mu
°us dropping into the throat In this
ay is apt to excite catarrh of the
stomach. At any rate, the condition
"iKht to be corrected as Soon as pos
sible.
iMrs. Bourland, of Frankston, Texas,
f'>und after using Peruna that not
"fly did the incessant cough disap

"For twenty-three years I was a
constant sufferer from chronic ca
tarrh. I had a severe misery and
♦'urning in the top of my head. There
was almost a continual dropping 1 of
mucus into my throat, which caused
'rvrjuent expectoration. My entire
system gradually became Involved,
£r 'd my condition grew worse. I had
an incessant cough and frequent at
tacks of bilious colic, from which it
wemed I could not recover. My
bowels also became affected, causing
alarming attacks of hemorrhages.
*1 tried many remedies, which gave
only temporary relief, or no relief at
I at last tried Peruna, and in
''iree days I was relieved of the bowel
' l " r angement After using five bottles
1 v -'as entirely cured.
"I most cheerfully recommend the
use of Peruna to any one similarly
afflicted."
