taking Peruna and be as grateful In
the end as am. l will always recom-
mend Peruna."
One of the most dangerous and COM
mon forms of acute and nervous pros
tration is known as sunstroke. The
prostration caused by overheating the
body does not always result In sun
stroke, but more commonly in milder
forms of depression, such as nervous
headache, dizziness, faintness, Sleep
lessness, palpitation, mental confus-
ion, abundant clear urine, creeping
rigors flashes of heat, and shortness
of breath at the least eXertion,
All of the above names are symp-
toms of acute prostration most pre-
valent during the month Of July than
at any other season of the year. Even
people who have the most vigorous
health are liable to attacks of pros
tration during the hot waves of early
summer.
The only safe course to take is to
keep the blood pure, digestion good
and sleep regular. No remedy equals
in all respects, Peruna, for this pur-
pose. A dose of Peruna before each
meal during the hot season Is q safe
guard of priceless value.
Especially those who are in the least
subject to nervous prostration should
not neglect to provide themselves with
Peruna the greatest of all nerve and
brain restoratives known to the medi-
cal world. Complete directions for use
on each bottle.
