A Sense OF WEAKNESS

is often felt by persons who cannot To-
cate any particular disease. If they
work it becomes labor if they walk
they soon tire mental efforts become a
burden, and even joys are dinmcd by
the shadow of this weakness which is
cast over til -ir lives. Recourse is had
sometimes to stimulants of dangerous
character. The advice of physicians to
refrain from active labor produces no
happy results. Why The system is
debilitated and needs to be built up
properly. PERUVIAN SYRUP will do this
very thing. Like the electric current,
it permeates the entire system, and
harmonizing with the corporal func-
tions, 1t lases up the enfeebled, and
brings the color to the cheek again,
and hope to the despondent. 1t does
its work promptly and well. Sold by
all druggists.
