RfP>Rernember,he says not only that, he recommends Perun a as an invig

coughs, coldsand catarrhal complaints.
What are you going to do with such evidence? Are you gotng to turn away
from it and listen only to the talk of people who probably never saw a bottle of
Peruna, certainly never tried a bottle of it, who have nothing else to do but to
talk about other people’s affairs? Are you going to listen to such people as that,
instead of accepting the testimony of those who know?
