To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat
catarrh out of its victims. Pe-ru-na not
only cures catarrh, but prevents. Every
household should be supplied with this great
remedy for coughs, colds and so forth
1t will be noticed that the governor says
he has not had occasion to use Pe-ru-na for
other ailments. The reason for this Is,
most other ailments begin with cold.
Using Pe-ru-na to promptly cure colds he
protects his family against other ailments.
This is exactly what every other family in
the United States should do Keep Pe-ru-na
in the house. Use it for coughs, colds la
