Came Near Losing His The following letter was rePeruna Co., from Rev. G. W. Rob- mBBm erts, R R. 2, Box HilMKBp 1 27, Hartsell, Ala' bama, under date ||l of April 2, 1904, which is exactly forming you of | what your Peruna has done REV. G. W. ROBERTS, i for me after R,\R* 2,,?0?,27? | three years of Hartsell, Ala. suffering. I had tried the treatments j of several doctors, also home remedies, but they failed and all hope j had gone. My friends, like myself, j thought I was in the last stages of i consumption. "My daughter brought me a bottle of Peruna and plead with me to try it I had got so weak I had lost my ' voice, and I thought it no use. That j was in May, 1902. I began to take it according to directions. I wrote ! to you, and you gave me your kind ! advice. i ; "I soon felt better, my cough began | to give way, and the expectoration lessened. I have taken fourteen bot| ties. I feel well, eat hearty, sleep j soundly, weigh as much as I ever did, \ do considerable work on my farm, j and attend to my other business, i Mv friends seem astonished at my re I i covery. ; s "I wish to thank you for your kind i advice and the books you have sent ' me. I shall ever praise your medicine ] and hope that you may enjoy a long ; life." j It will be observed that Rev. Rob| erts waited two years after he began to use Peruna, before he wrote the | above letter to The Peruna Co. So ! that his apparent recovery could not i possibly have been temporary relief. ! In a later letter to The Peruna Co., dated September 22, 190$ Rev. Roberts says: "I am a great friend of Peruna. By the use of Dr. Hartman's ; advice I am here to-day, able to be with my family and attend to my j business," ! I \!pu/ mQpaf | lion uilli uuoi KU^r* 11 ^ W0UM-M..N .tCfc,TO OW?

The people know my case, and they praise it also." In a letter dated November 22, 1909, we quote Rev. Roberts: "Perana gave me back my life ten years agt>. All my acquaintances know that. I am certainly thankful tn vnn fnr vmir kindness." In a later letter, dated January 13, 1910, he says: "I shall ever in the future, as in the past, be ready to speak in praise of Peruna to all sufferers. I believe my miraculous cure has been the means of many others being cured in this county." From a letter of September 5, 1911, we quote a few words: "I am still among the living. As to Peruna, I do not feel that I have words to express the faith I have in its merits. I feel that Peruna has been the means, through the kind providence of God, of prolonging my life for more than ten years." We quote a still later letter, October 31, 1912. He says: "I took a severe cold three weeks ago. I at once sent for Peruna. Have been taking it two weeks. I am now better. I consider that Peruna has carried me over a dozen years of life. I always stand ready to answer any question in reference to Peruna." We quote from his last letter, dated January 2, 1913: "Dear Friends: I wish this bright New Years to ex- j press my thanks to you for your i kindness. Trusting that you may ; have a successful and happy year, and that your medicine may prove a blessing to many as it has to me, I am yours as ever, G. W. Roberts, Hartsell, Alabama, R. F. D. 2, Box 27." It is not necessary for us to add any words to this story. The eloquence and pathos of these letters are more convincing than arguments or affidavits. Who can doubt the clergyman's story? Who can doubt that Peruna saved his life?
