Jewish history, speaking OF the land OF
Egypt after the seventh plague had
been sent upon them: And there was
great cry in Egypt; for there was not
house where there was not some one
dead"
Not quite so tragic an utterance is
of our own country at the present time,
but certainly it is true that great
plague is abroad in the land; that the
first born and last born has been slain
in countless households; that parents
and infants, without regard to station
or circumstances, have fallen prey to
the fell destroyer, La Grippe. Never
was there plague so insidious, so ON
nipresent, to defy the skill of the
physician and the strength of the patient
as this pestilence. 1t does not seem to
spread like an ordinary epidemic; it
seems to spring from the ground spon-
taneously everywhere at once. 1t finds
its victims at md day; or, like the
destroying angel in Egypt, it unsheathes
its sword to strike the unwary asleep in
the dark watches of the night 1t enters
the novels of wretchedness End poverty,
and easily crosses the threshold OF
of wealth and luxury. Doctors seem to
he wholly unable to prevent Its onset, to
stay its ravishes, or mitigate its conse-
quences. Is there no balm in Gilead?
No succor for the oppressed?
Without Hesitation or fear of success
full contradiction answer: Yes, there is
preventive for those who have re-
manned, as yet, untouched with this
disease, q cure for those who are already
its victims, and a complete and perma-
nent restoration for those who have
lately escaped its clutches with weak
ened and deranged bodies from which
recovery seems impossible. To those
who have thus far escaped this dreadful
ailment, but are trembling with constant
fear of it, desire to say that a table,
spoonful Of Pe-ru-na, taken before each
meal, is absolutely reliable as a pre-
ventive against La Grippe; and no one
need have any fear of an attack of this
disease so long as this treatment is con-
tinued. 1t is absolute recklessness, for
which there is little or no excuse, for
any one, during the unsettled weather
at least, to omit to take this precaution.
To those who are already attacked by
this disease | would advise: At the
appearance of the first symptoms treat
ment should be begun at once, and keep
strictly to the house for few days. No
treatment, however effectual it may be,
will always prevent quite long siege
with this disease. but no other medicinel
treatment is necessary than Pc ru-na.
The directions, as they are given on the
bottle, are more applicable to chronic
diseases. and it is advisable, during the
acute stages of the disease, to take
smaller doses, bat oftener. | would
direct a tablespoonful OF Pe-ru-na every
two hours for adults, and a correspond
ingiy less dose for children, until the
acute stage is ended.
There are a great multitude of people
IN all parts of the land who have entire
ly lost their health as n result Of La
Grippe; who have recovered from an
attack, but find themselves with weak
ened nerves, deraBged digestion, and
with but very little of their former
powers. There is no disease known to
man that leaves the ystem in such an
outrageous and exasperatiEg condition.
as La Grippe. The student finds it is
impossible to return to his books, the
professional man to his routine of office
work, and the working man to his
labors, with anything like their old
| vigor. 1t is even worse with the house
wife and the devotee of fashion, whose
facilitating employmenis make re-
cuperation slower. For this class of
sufferers Pe-lu-na is a specific; and do
not hesitate to guarantee that if anyone
will take Pe-ru-na according TO the
following directions that in few weeks
they will be entirely restored TO their
accustomed health: Add two ounces of
rock candy to each bottle of Peru ma
before using. Take a tablespoonful
before each meat and at bedtime.
Gradually increase this dose until. at
the end of one month, YOU are taking
two tablespoonfuls at dose. This dose
should be continued until every vestige
of the symptoms disappear.
