C. says : < I “As a native born Cuban, serving as postmaster in Porto Rico, I contracted yellow fever and have been suffering from the ill effects of that dreadful dis ease since my return home. I was ad vised by a friend to use Peruna and I can speak in th e highest: terms of your remarkable medicine. I feel like a. new man and shall take pleasure in recom mending it to those similarly afflicted. It is a fine tonic,-and is in every way a wonderful medicine.
