The medical profession had long been grop ing to discover the meaning of th<6stub born and distressing after-effects of la grippe. All remedies seemed alike in adequate. As soon as Dr. Hartman announced that it was his belief that the after- effects of la grippe was simply sys temic catarrh, a great advance was made in the treatment of these cases, jt now only remained to find a reliable nemedy« for systemic catarrh. ^ . Here a new difficulty arose. Catarrh had been regarded .by many physicians as a local disease and treated solely by local remedies. fStich physician^ kaew- of no systemic remedy for catarrh. Other physicians regarded catarrh as a blood disease and had been in the habit of treating it with blood medicines, which could be of no possible Use in systemic catarrh. for a time Peruna enjoyed the dis tinction of being ^be only systemic ca tarrh remedy known. It was not even claimed by anyone that there was an other remedy for this exasperating con- 4|goiu ; ■ ... Since then, however, a great many remedies have been proposed for sys temic catarrh, and a great deal of val uable ittnif£]H^fd}4n «xi>?riineiiy|hig, with other remedies. But it still re main? true that Feruna is the only spe- eliteremedy tori the; aftereffects of la grippe. The demand for this remedy, m consequence of the present epidemic of la grippe, is enormous. . Mr. J ;P. Bowery, proprietor City Hotel Albany, Texas, says: ‘"Being advised to try Peruna for la grippe and asthma, I did so with good results. I had been feeling very unwell for a long time, and had asthma quite bad till 1 came West, when I got better of the asthma, but Was not well. I tried a great many remedies for it, but nothing was able to cure me. “ I took three bottles of Peruna and 1 am happy tb say that it is the best mfed~ icine I ever used. I am satisfied that Peruna is a good medicine, and as such have commended i£j6o several of my friends with good results; It is seldom I give a testimonial, but I think this due you. I hope others may be benefited thrbtigh you and your medicines.” d Grip Prostration Afflicts the People was hardier, two symmetrical organs, which are in effect minute cannon. On being attacked one may just hear what sounds like a small explosion, and two tiny streams of liquid are squirted out very much after the &ianner pf a boy’s squirt-gun. At the same time the insect is lost to view in a cloud of smoke or more properly speaking a humid ^fdg, which, being corrosive, is successful, in holding at bay all the creature’s enemies. Such is the conpppsitibn of this liquid that it boils at 8 degrees above zero, which accounts for the arti ficial cloud. - This method of de fense is also employed by certain mollusks which, in order to cover a retreat excrete a black liquid '‘After having ussd Peruna for a short time / find that it is the <^_GAINESVILLE MERCHANDISE COMPANY all through the system.
