4 SURE THING.
Old Cases of Malaria Need No Longer Be
InyAlidS.

Old Cases of Malaria Need No Longer Be
InvAlids.
There Is no trying to dodge the fact
that quinine will not always cure
malaria. While it is doubtless true that
large doses Of q%uinine or some other
derivative Of Calisaya bark will cure
more cases OF chills and fever than any
other drug, it is equally certain that in
chronic malaria it is, in a majority Of
cases, a fat failure. In every malarious
district there are thousands of people
who continually take quinine and yet con-
tinually have more or less frequent at
tacks OF malaria. These facts need no
argument. Every person who lives in a
malarious locality knows them to be
true.
4 remedy capable Of curing these
cases OF chronic malaria that q~uinine will
not relieve would be a great blessing to
humanity and produce a genuine sensa-
ton in medical circles. This is exactly
what the remedy-Pe-ru-na-Till do. It
cures all those old and stubborn cases
Of chronic malaria that have taken quiz
nine perhaps for years without result
A thorough course Of Pe-ro-ns is sure to
remove the malariai poison from the
system.
