me two years ago.
I began to take Peruna, and now I am
perfectly free from a cough. I am glad
to say that Peruna cured me entirely.
“I take Peruna occasionally, when I
do not feel well, and I also give it to my
Children.
“Peruna is the best medicine for couglis

much Peruna has helped me.”
Mrs. Hettie Green, R. R. No. 6, luka,
111., writes as follows of the eflicacy of
Peruna:
“Last November I had catarrh and
felt so miserable I thonght that I would
go into consumption.
“I tried so many doctors and medicines
but nothing* did me any good, only
Peruna.
“After I began the use of Peruna I be
gan to improve in every way. My head
did not hurt so much, my stomach is all
right, ray bowels are regular, my appe
tite good, my complexion clear, my
eyes are bright and am gaining in flesh
and strength.
“I think Peruna has no equal as a ca
tarrh remedy.”

trial and I am pleased to state that it
restored me to perfect health. There
is not the slightest trace of catarrh in
my system and my lungs are perfectly
sound.
“1 unhesitatingly give this testimo
nial.”
Mrs. William Hohmann, 009 N. Paul
ina St., Chicago, 111., writes:
“I suffered with catarrh of the bron
chial tubes ami had a terrible cough ever
since a child. After a while it got so
bad I had to cough both winter and
summer. Finally, I burst a blood vessel
in my throat from the strain of cough
ing, next a blood vessel in my stomach,
so I kept getting worse and doctoring,
and even then could get no relief. T
thought, and everybody else, that I had
consumption.
“Reading the papers about Peruna I
decided to try it, without the least bit of
hope that it would do me any good. But
after taking three bottles I noticed a
change. My appetite got better, so I
kept on, never got discouraged.
“Finally I seemed not to cough so
much, aud the pains in my chest got
better. I am well now. I cannot tell
you how grateful I am, and I cannot
thank Peruna enough. It has cured
where doctors have failed. People who
think they have consumption better
give it a trial.”
MISS .IOSIE SCHAETZEL.
Miss Josie Schaetzel, General Deliv
ery, Appleton, Wisconsin, writes:
“I contracted a severe cold which
settled on my lungs in very short order,
and it was not long until it developed
into a serious case of catarrh. Every
morning I would raise a lot of phlegm,
which was very disagreeable. My di
gestion was poor and my lungs sore.
“After a few doses of Peruna I began
to mend, and felt

that if I kept on
taking it it would
not be long until I
would be well. I
was right, for in four weeks I was well
again.
“I think Peruna is a grand medicine,
and wish to add my testimony to the
many others you have.”
The fight against consumption is be
coming a national problem.
Everywhere wo hear of sanitariums
| established at tho expense of the state
for flie treatment of the vast army of
consumptives.
The open air treatment, fresh air and
sunlight, are recognized by the medical
profession generally as being the great
est necessities in the treatment of con
sumption in all its stages.
Dr. Hartman has for many years ad
vocated the fresh air treatment for con
sumption. At the same time he has
recognized Peruna as a useful pallia
tive for the many distressing symptoms
which accompany the white plague.
The promptness with which Peruna
relieves a fresh cold, and even removes
chronic colds, is well-known. This
ranks Peruna as a reliable prophylactic
against consumption.
