Shake Off That Grip
When Spring comes, with its changeable weather
and your exposure, it is best to clear away all the
symptoms left after an attack of grip. That evil
disease leaves you weakened, and when its victim
attempts to "do his bit" he exposes himself to the risk of a second
attack, for which he is less prepared, and which may have graver
consequences.
There’s Danger in Delay
April and May are pneumonia months. In this time a weak
ened system is a constant source of danger, for the pneumonia
and grip infections are in the air, and after a long winter the
body is so clogged with waste it cannot resist them Fortify
the health, remove the catarrh, and improve the digestion.
*522* PERUNA
This reliable toxic is recommended to remove the waste
from the body, counteract the catarrhal poisons and allay the
inflammation that is catarrh, restore the regular appetite and
tone up the entire system to resist disease. A well man is safe.
As a tonic after grip it has won many commendations, while its effect
iveness in catarrhal conditions is unquestioned. Take no chances—Take
I'eruna.
Pe runa Tablet a art always ready to take. You may carry a box
urith yoa and ward off coldt and chill. The liquid medicine in your
home it a great safeguard. Protect your family.

The girls and young ladies of the
Agricultural College are the heartiest
cleaniest looking collection of beauties
I have ever seen, and I have heard
persons from other places say the
same thing. Prof. Fraser and his as
sistants are doing their work well.
If I was about sixteen or eighteen anti
at that college, I would not do any
sparking, of course not, but would just
go along behind that team of beaut
ies to see that other boys keep off
of the grass.
