Cured of Catarrh and La Grippe by
la grippe Pertrna should be taken'every
two hours during the day—adults a
tablespoonful, children a teaspoon fnl,
Bntit is the after-effects of la grippe
which are generally the most serious
unless Pernna is taken. In all cases
where Pernna Is taken as above during
the acute stage the recovery is prompt
and complete; but where the ordinary
treatment is followed the patient will
complain for weeks and months of weak
