COLDS An up-to-date remedy for colds. That is what Peruna is. In successful use over 50 years. Colds are caught in many ways: Illy ventilated rooms; rooms that have direct draughts; crowded rooms; damp houses; stuffy school rooms; offices illy heated. A dose of Peruna at the right time, at the first symptom of cold, before the bones begin to ache, before the sore throat manifests itself, or the cough, or the discharge from the nose, just a dose or two of Peruna before these symptoms begin is gener ally sufficient. But after the cold is once established with the above symptoms prominent, a bottle of Peruna, or maybe two, will be necessary. "For several years I have been troubled with colds at each ehango of season. I took Peruna and have not been troubled with the slightest cold this entire season."
