I can safely say that Peruna and Manalin have saved my life. “When I wrote to you the first time, asking your advice, my condition was go poor that I did not expect to live through the winter, but now I am perfectly healthy. *“T cannot praise your medicine eijouuli, and I recommend it to other'.” Catarrh of Stomach. Mrs. Mary Allen, Route •>, Franklin, Tenn., writes: “I am glad to he able to tell you that I am well of catarrh of the stomach, for which I am sincerely thankful to you for your advice. If it had not been for Peruna I would never have been well. “I had three physicians. One of tfiorn told my husband that he could not cure me. “I had been sick about nine months when a friend asked me to try Peruna i to gratify her; so I commenced taking i u - j “I can eat and wall: and work, j.very- | body says 1 look :>s well a.- 1 ever did. “Oil, \ouu >n’t know how thankful 1 1 do feel to you. “1 have got severa'I other people to J take Peruna. i praise ii to ever*.- ] body.” Tlrs.heni^ Martirv For Children’s Colds.

I always keep it on hand, and recommend it.” . Catarrh for Seven Years. i Mrs. T. Freeh, R. R. No. 1, Hickory Point, Tenn., writes: “1 am happy to ; tell you that I am cured of catarrh.

I think it is one of the grandest medicines on earth. “Having been afflicted with catarrh and stomach trouble for seven years, and after having tried four different doctors they only relieved me for a little while.

Who is in a better position to know than the farmer’s wife herself what is required in the farmer’s home ? She must meet its troubles, solve its prob lems, ward off disease, nurse the sick, she must do all these things herself, and she learns by valuable experience what is best and what is not best. In numberless farm homes Peruna is relied upon as the family medicine. Pernna books are consulted in health and disease. Peruna is used as a preven tive as well as a corrective in disease. * The wives of the farmers of the United States constitute a solid phalanx in favor of Peruna. Against this testimony the slanders of a few critics will n*>t prevail. One sensible mistress of a farm home who has used Peruna knows more about Peruna than all the magazine critics in tho world.
