waa right, for in four weeks I was welt

“I think Pernna is a grand medic toe,
and wish to add my testimony to the
rngny others you have.”
The fight against consumption is be*
coining a national problem.
Everywhere we hear of aanltariunts
established at the expense of the state
for the treatment of the vast army ot
consumptives.
The open air treatment, fresh air and
sunlight, are recognised by the medical
profession generally as being the great
est necessities in the treatment of con
sumption in all its stages. j
Dr. Hartman has for many years ad
vocated the fresh air treatment for con
sumption. At the same time- he haa
recognized Peruna as a useful pallia
tive for the many distressing symptoms
which accompany tho white plague.
The promptness with which Pernna
relieves a fresh cold, and even removes
chronlo colds, ia well-known. This
ranks Peruna as a reliable prophylaetlo
against consumption.
