The Peruna Medidae Co., Columbus, O.:
Gentlemen: " had hemorrhages of the lungs tor a Jong time,
and all despaired ot me. I took Peruna and was cured. It gave me
strength and courage, and made healthy, pure blood. It increased
my weight, gave me a healthy color, and I feel well. It Is the best
medicine in the world. If everyone kept Psruna in the house it
would save many from death every year."
Yours very truly,
REV. H. STUBENVOLL.
The farmers of this section are
very far behind in their operations;
"but with the advent of open weather
they are getting a hump on them

the introduction of Peruna to the medical
profession thousands of cases are cured
annually.
Mr. W. D. Smitha well-known grocer
of Port Huron, Mich., writes :
"By following your instructions, and
taking Peruna and Manalin I am cured
of catarrh. I had catarrh for twelve
years and quite a bad cough so I could
not sleep nights. I do not have any
cough now, and if I feel anything in the
throat I take a swallow of Peruna and I
am alright." W. D. Smith.

"I contracted a heavv cold about-

Mr. Chas. H. Stevens, 97 Seventeenth

me great pleasure to testify to the merits
of Peruna as a remedy for catarrh. I
suffered for some tinie with chronic
nasal- catarrh,- -but after 'five months'
treatment during which time I. used
seven bottles of Peruna I am pleased to
say that I am entirely well, there being

Afflicted Since Childhood With Catarrh.
Mr. Elbert S. Richards, Milton, Conn.,
writes:
"I am near sixty-eight years of age,
and have from childhood been afflicted
with catarrh in the head, and, for the past
four or five years been much afflicted with
it in my eyes ; they being watery, would
materate a good deal, and stick together
in the night. My condition was so fully
described in your almanac that I decided
to try Peruna.
" I am thankful to say that I now con
sider myself entirely free from catarrh,
and only use Peruna occasionally now
as a tonic. Accept my sincere thanks
for your personal interest in my ca.se.
"My 6on, 21 years of age, has beeit
using Peruna for a number of weeks for
catarrh in the head and has obtained
great relief." Elbert S. Richards.

Mr. Andrew Barrett, 9i0 N. Kidzie
Ave., Chicago, 111., writes :
" It gives me great pleasure to testify
to the merits of such a worthy remedy
for catarrh as your Peruna. I had
suffered for thirty years from this very
disagreeable disease and had tried many
so-called remedies but until I used Pe
runa none had the desired effect.
"I have been connected with the
Chicago Police Department for the past
twenty-eight years. I can cheerfully
recommend Peruna to anyone suffering,
from catarrh." Andrew Uarrett.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
