Nearly all the'' ills of
children begin with
taking cold. If your
INSTRUMENTS
child catches cold don't wait a moment before
attacking that cold.
To the ignorance or neglect of parents is due
the fatal termination of many children's com
plaints.
If you are not informed as to the
proper course to pursue to drive off
a child's cold, write to Dr. Hart man,
president of the Surgical Hotel,
Columbus, O., for advice, and ask for
some of his free books which contain
the most pertinent facts about colds
and coughs and all catarrhal diseases.
Pe-ru-na, Dr. Hartman's great pre
scription, is wholly vegetable. It
wards off colds entirely if taken at
the beginning in proper doses. It
breaks up settled colds quickly; it is
scientific and safe; there is no mys
tery about it. Dr. flartman's books
tell just how it acts and why. All
druggists sell it.
Mrs. G. T. Rogers, Elgin, HL. says:
Dr. S. B. Hartritan, Columbus, O.
; TVir ati Rtr. Your medicine'saved
my baby's life. We stopped all treat
ment but yours, and now he is a
;leautiful boy. It was certainly a
miracle
Mrs. Becking, - East Toledo, ' O.,
-writes to the Pe-ru-na Jiedicine Co.:
Pkab Sebs: ' ' Pe-ru-na is the best
medicine I ever had in my house.
My children had a, bad-cough, and
VmA nf them had the lung fever. 1
cured them all with Jfe-ru-na.
