I SAAC BROCK, a citizen of McLen-| nan county, Texas, has lived for 117 ears. For many years he resided at Bosqne Falls, eighteen miles west of Waco, but now lives with his son-in- law at Valley Mills, Texas. Some time ago, by request, Uncle Isaac came to Waco and sat for nis picture, holding in hl§ hand a stick cut from the grave of General Andrew Jackson. Mr. Brock is a dignified old gentleman, snowing few signs of de crepitude. His family Bible is still preserved, and it shows that the date of His birth was written 117 years ago. Born before the United States were formed. Saw 22 Presidents elected. Pe-rv-na has protected him from all sudden changes. Veteran of tour wars. Shod a horse when 99 yean old. Always conquered the grip with Pe-ru-na. Witness In a land suit at the age of 110 years. Believes Pe-ru-na the greatest remedy of the age for catarrhal troubles. I N speaking of his good boalfb and extreme old age, Mr. Break say si “After • maa has lived in the wwrld as long as I have, he ongh* to have found ottra great many things by ex perience. I think I have dene e*. ••One at that Mags / hev+tbmn* osst to mjr enMe eetk/Mdea 4$ Um proper thing for ollmeptM that ere due directly to the effects of the climate. For IITyestra / bare withstood the chaogeaide climate Of the Ualted Statee. <*1 have always been a wary healthy man. bat, of coarse, sabjeet to the af fections which are doe to sadden changes In the climate and tempera- tare. Daring my long life I have known a great many remedies for oonghs, colds and diarrhoea. ••As lor Dr. Hartman f s remedy, Peruna, / have found It to be the best, it not the only, reliable rent- edy for these affections. It has been my standby for many years, and / attribute my good health and extreme old age to this remedy. “It exactly meets all my require ments. It protects me from the evil ef fects of sudden changes; it keeps me in good appetite; it gives me strength; it j keeps my blood in good circulation. I have come to rely upon it, .Mmost en- { tirely for the many littie things for which 1 need medicine. ‘•When epidemics of la gr^pe first began to make their appearance In this country I was a sufferer r. - om this ■ < iisease. “/ had several long sieges with \ the grip. At first l did not know that Rerun a was a remedy for ; this disease. When I heard that la grippe was epidemic catarrh, / tried Peruna for la grippe and found it to be Just the thing. ” In a later letter, Mr. Brock writes; “I am well and feeling as well as I have for years. The only thing that bothers me is my sight. If 1 could see better 1 could walk all over the farm, and it would do me good. I would not be without .Peruna.” Yours truly, When old age comes. It brings with it catarrhal diseases. Systemic catarrh is almost universal In old people. This explains why Peruna has become so indispensable to many old people.
