Is Peruna an alcoholic beverage indissruise? Is it possible to use Penma
as a substitute for whiskey k Da people buy Peruna and use it as a toddyyor
abitters,orabrwerXrv r ' c - ;J.
; "It would be the easiest thing inthe world for any one to demonstrate the
falsify of such statements, lei anyone go to the drug store and purchase a bot
tle of Peruna. Let Mm undertake to use it as a beverage, or take this remedy in
doses considerably larger than those prescribed 0 the bottle. Would the result
be alcoholic intoxication ? Nothing of the sort Let any one try it and see.
. Peruna'is a medical compound quite heavily loaded with medicinal ingred
ients. If taken in doses larger than prescribed it vrould produce a positive
drug effect. - No one could take it as a beverage. If any one doubts these state
ments, try it. and see. We know that, Peruna cannot be used as a bever
age; that it will not intoxicate; that it cannot be used as a substitute for
liquors. We guarantee that PERUNA CONTAINS NO CHEAP WHISKEY
OIL ANY OTHER WHISKEY, for that matter.
' It contains a small per cent, of cologne spirits, absolutely essential to dis
solve and hold in solution medicinal ingredients, but the drugs contained in
Peruna prohibit its use as a beverage. It would be the easiest thing in the
world for. any one to demonstrate this if
Peruna is sold everywhere.
THE
PRINTED ON EACH BOTTLE.
chemists have analyzed Peruna
whiskey. Now we challenge any chemist to demonstrate any such statement.
. , ' . a 1 i - 3 l - 1 . 1
Let any one who nas even a smattering
bottle of Feruna ana see wnetner or not n contains wms&ey, una out ior nun
self whether or not it is composed of cheap whiskey and cubebs. Of course,
cubebs is one of the ingredients of Peruna, but there are many other ingred
ients. It contains hydrastis canadensis, corydalis formosa, eollinsonia, and . at
least four other medicinal ingredients.
lvze Peruna as to be able to identify the
is beyond the ability of any chemist. But any ordinary chemist would be able
to say that Peruna is heavily loaded with medicinal ingredients of some kind
in addition to cubebs. -
Now why are these statements repeated when their falsity could be so
easily demonstrated? Simply because
runa on the part of the medical profession. Very likely the magazines which
took up the crusade against Peruna and denounced it as a cheap beverage
were misled by statements of the medical profession. Probably they were
sincere in their attitude towards it But
said and refuted, it would seem to be
fairness and common sense in the matter.
Every time any one says that Peruna is nothing but cheap whiskey and
cubebs he is telling a lie an absolute
the truth. But the prevalent habit of repeating other people s statements,
without investigation as to their truth, has led many well-meaning people to
say these false things about Peruna, 1
Used according to the directions on the bottle, PERUNA IS A SAPE
AND RELIABLE CATARRH REMEDY, but, like any other good medicine, il
taken in excess of those doses, it will produce drug effects very unpleasant to
the person who takes it
It is therefore up to every honest person to quit making such statements
concerning Peruna, or acknowledge that he is repeating slanders about which
e knows nothing. One might just as well say that Castor Oil is an intoxicant;
that if taken in large enough doses it will operate as a "booze." If people
never tried to see, but simply repeated such statements about Castor Oil, the
majority of people would come to believe them. It is no easier to demonstrate
such a statement about Castor Oil than it would be about Peruna.
Any one who takes Peruna knows that such statements are false. To say
that Peruna is cheap whiskey and cubebs may constitute good material for
jokes on the vaudeville stage, but there is no excuse for any one who pretends
to be truthful saying over again this oft-repeated falsehood.

The citizens of Ea9t. Spencer don't
fancy the granting of that liquor

been considerable talk and the
matter has been commented up
on quite freely.
It is expressly stated in the
