necessity ef placing accounts la the ba alcoholic intoxication ? Nothing of the sort. Let any one try it and see.
Peruna is a medical compound quite heavily loaded with medicinal inned*
lento. If taken in doses largor than prescribed it would produce a positive
drug effect Vo one could take it ae a beverage. Ifany one double these etate-
ment% try it and toe. We know that Peruna cannot be used as a bever*
age; that it will not intoxicate; that it cannot be used ae a substitute for
liquors. Wo guarantee that PERUNA CONTAINS HO CHEAP WHISKEY—
OB ANY OTHER WHISKEY, for that matter.
It contains a small per cent of cologne spirits, absolutely essential to die
solve and hold in solution medicinal ingredients, but the drags contained ia
Peruna prohibit its nse as a beverage. It wonld be the easiest thing in tho
world for any one to demonstrate this if they chow to do so.
Pemna is sold everywhere. THE INGREDIENTS ARB PLAINLY
PRINTED OH EACH BOTTLE. It has been said over and over again that
chemists have analyzed Peruna and found it to contain only cubehe and
whiskey. Vow wo challenge any chemist to demonstrate any snch statement,
let any one who has oven a smattering knowledge of chemistry purchase a
bottle of Pemna and see whether or not it contains whiskey, find out for him*
self whether or not it is composed of cheap whiskey and cubeto. Of coarse,
cubebe is one of the ingredients of Peruna, bat there are many other ingred
ients. It contains hydrastis canadensis, corydalis formosa, collinsonia, and at
least four other medicinal ingredients. To bo sure, no chemist could so ana*
lyse Pemna as to he able to identify the various medicinal Ingredients. This
is beyond the ability of any chemist But any ordinary chemist wonld be able
to say that Pemna is heavily leaded with medicinal ingredients of some Hn*
lu addition to oubebs.
Vow why ore these statements repeated when tholr falsity could bo so
easily demonstrated? Simply because there is continnod hostility toward Pe*
rnna on the part of the medical profession. Very likely the maprin*. W Mch
took np the crusade against Pemna and denounced it as a choap beverage
were misled by statements of the medical profession. Probably they were
sincere in their attitude towards it Bnt now, after all these things Lave been
said and refhted, it wonld wem to bo in ordor for snob peoplo to use a little
fairness and common sense in the matter.
Every time any one sayi that Pemna is nothing bnt cheap Whiskey and
