Their convalescence is slow. They have suffered along for a month or two, without any signs of complete recovery. Then they resort to I'eruna as a tonic, with splendid results. Mrs. Jane (lift. T5. !•*. n. 1, Athens, Ohio, whose portrait appears above, writes: "1 think I would have been dead long ago if it had not been for I'cruna. Six years ago 1 had la grippe very bad. The doctor came to see me every day, but 1 gradually grew worse. I told my husband I thought I would surely tlie if 1 did not g.'i relief soon. "(•lie day I picked tip the news paper and accidentally found a testi monial of a woman who had been cured of grip by I'eruna. I told my husband I wanted to try It. He went directly to the drug store and got a bottle of I'eruna. 1 could see the Im provement in a Very short time ana Aas soon able to do my work. I con tinued using it until I was entirely cured." Mr. Victor I'atneaude, 32S Madison St., Topeka, Kns., writes: "Twelve years ago I had a severe attack of la grippe and I never really recovered my health and strength, but grew weaker every year, until ' was unable to work. "Two years a'.TO I began tiding Fo runa and it built up my strength so that in a couple of months 1 was able to go to work again. This winter I. had another attack of la gtippe, but Jvrr.na soon drove it out of my sys tem. Sly wife and I consider it :i household 1. i.ledy."
