Judffinp from h^r letter, the mis

Mrs. C harlie Taylor, K. F. D. No. 1,

» been terrible. No one, after read
ing her letter, can continue to
doubt the great healing power
of PE-UU-NA for troubles due
to catarrh or catarrhal conditions
in any part of the body. Her
letter is an inspiration to every
\ sick and suffering man or woman
anywhere. ' Here it is: “I suffered
two years with catarrh of the head,
' Stomach and bowels. Tried two of
the best doctors, who gave me up.
I then took PE-RU-NA and can-
truthfully say I am well. When I
began to use PE-RU-NA, I weighed
one hundred pounds. My weight
now is one hundred and fifty! I
-cannot. praise PE-RU-NA too
highly, for it was a Godsend to me.
I got relief from the first half
bottle and twelve bottles cured me.
I advise all sufferers to take
PE-RU-NA.” ___
As an emergency remedy in the
home, there Is nothing quite the
equal of this reliable, time-tried
medicine, PE-RU-NA. Thousands
place their sole dependence on it
for toughs, colds, stomach and
bowel trouble, constipation, rheu
matism, pains in the back, side and
Ipins ana to prevent the grip and
Spanish Flu. To keep the blood
pure and maintain b*>dily strenrth
ard robustness, take PE-RU-NA.
You can buy PE-RU-NA any-
where in either tablet or liquid
form.

way was sheer. How was I to reach
the lowest rung? The rock was too
sheer for me to cut steps in. as I had
done farther back. I. looked about me.

of them to the foot of the ladder, and
—with an effort of which I would not
