Parker filled his regular ap- i tie of Peruna. let him undertake to use it as a beverage, or taio this remedy in tlemenis are rejected to avoid the, dotes considerably larger than those prescribed on thebottle. Would the result 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.
