D.C The Fear of Grip Makes People Nervous. Thera ia no remedy in the wojrld that meets the conditions produced by the grip hetter than Peruna.

The grip has produced catarrhal in flammation of the whole mucous mem brane, and good health is impossible nntil these are restored to a normal con dition. This Peruna will do. A great many remedies have been suggested for tills condition from time to time, but Peruna is the only remedy that has any substantial value in these oases. It has never failed to give satisfaction J rZ. H. Parsons is Ex-State Senator and Ex-Special Judge of the Supreme Court of Texas, and was also Brigadier-General in Confederate Army. In a recent letter from 925 H street, N. W., Washington, D.

If yon are suffering from the after effects of la grippe—if you have be come discouraged in your attempts to cure yourself with other treatments, take a bottle of Peruna now. A bottle of Peruna taken during the beginning of the disease is worth more has become deep-seated. Miss Eugenie Lafortune of 110 Berrie street, Montreal, Can., writes: “Peruna cured me of a severe ease of la grippe when nothing else had any effect on me.

Many a man has been cut down in the prime of life, or his health so impaired by this vile disease that usefulness is destroyed, and he becomes a burden to himself and an object of pity to the rest of mankind.

As long as your blood is tainted with this awful virus you are a source of infection and danger to all who come in contact with you, and your children will carry in their veins the same dreadful contagion. As long as there is life in the serpent there is danger in its fangs, and so long as any signs of Contagious Blood Poison remain there is danger of infection. Safety lies in crushing out the life of this loathsome disease and killing the serpent, and no remedy known does this so thoroughly and permanently as S. S. S.
