There is no other disease so many
sided IN its i'll effects, so insidious in its
approach, so tenacious in its hold upon
the system, as Ia grippe. Once there, it
stays until it is cured. La grippe is one
of the Ills that time win not cure.
The after-effects Of Ia grippe do not
locate in any particular organ. It
amounts to a general irritability Of the
mucous membranes Of the whole body
a fabbiness and paleness Of the mucous
membrane. Sometimes there is an over
amount of thin, watery mucous secreted,
and at other times there is q dryness Of
the mucous surfaces.
There is no remedy in the world that
meets the conditions produced by la
grippe better than the remedy Peruna.
Peruna strengthens as it renoyates,
soothes while it stimulates, heals Is it
expurgates.
Peruna is not a purgative, or cathartic,
or sedatve, or stmulant, nor vegetable
or mineral poison. breaches the source
Of all diseases Of the mucous membranes
by its action on the vaso-motor system
of nerves.
The following are samples Of the let
tiers received by DR.. Hartman concern
ing the cures Peruna is making.
