Many people thought had consumption. “A woman recom mended Pernna to me two years ago. Consumption Wat reared. 1 began to take Peruna, and now I am perfectly free from a cough. I am glad to say that Peruna cured me entirely. *’l take Pernna occasionally, when I do not feel well, and I also give it to my children. “Peruna is the best medicine for conghs and colds. 1 have told many people how much Peruna has helped me.” , t Mrs. nettle Green, R.

My head did not hurt so much, my stomach is all right, my bowels are regular, my appe tite good, my complexion clear, my eyes are bright and am gaining in flesh and strength. “I think Peruna has no equal as a ca* tarru remedy.” Pernna tends to lessen the cough, de creases the expectoration, strengthens the patient, increases the appetite and in many cases procures sound, refresh* log sleep.

But after taking three bottles I noticed a change. My appetite got better, so I kept on, never got discouraged. \ Finally I seemed not to cough so touch, and the pains in my chest got better.

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.
