"Dr. s. B. Hartman & Co, Columbus,
Ohio: commenced on the fifth bottle OF
your Peruna this morning, and should just
as soon think Of doing without my meals as
without my medicine. l have been doctor
ing for about four years and kept getting
worse all the time and was just giving up

THE Ills of Life" / was in bed at the
time. / read and re read your book and felt
like trying your medicine. Ny folks thought
there was no use in trying anything more
| was too far gone, and might as well
make up my mind to die. ! told them
Peruna was the medicine | needed, and
INTENDED to try bottle. 1t proved sue
cess in breaking the chills, and if ii had not
done one thing more, would have been
satisfied. But it has done more, and feel
ike another person. Everybody that sees
me ia surprised to see me looking SO well,
as they all thought / was dying with con-
sumption, and now my own folks have
as much to say for the PEKuxA as L
recommend it to everybody l see. Inere
were two of our neighbors in yerterday
inouiring about the PERUSA- / gave the
one nv book TO read; told her to bring
II back, as l priced it very highly. The
other cot the name Of the PEKUSA to
send 10 his son in Chicago. He Is q
,eleeraph operator. My disease Is
something similar to Mrs. Milo lngr1m s,
though nothing compared to being so bad.
There was lump raised on my collar bone,
and it was long time before it looked ike
opening. The doctor said be would have
TO lance it in few DAYS, bat | thought
would attend to that myself so put q little
Hy blister on If and it opened; then Pnt
