HOW NERVOUS WOMEN
Bear Up Under The Depressing
Heat of Summer.

Miss Holland, the celebrated opera
singer, of England, in recent interview
said:
al don't think I could stand your
American summers If IL wasn't for Pc
ru-na. You know sing in repertoire
here, and it is hard work, because of the
many rehcarsals and the bother OF
changes in the wardrobe. And then the
strain of outdoor singing which feared
would injure my voice, but find that,
thanks to Pe-ru-na, my vocal cords and
throat keep in fine condition. You see
for yourself how hot the dressing-room
is, and can imagine tho change from
this atmosphere to the stage would cause
sudden hoarseness. I am sure that my
good health is wonderful considering all
these adverse conditions, and owe IL
oil to Pe-ru-na." -
