In our reminiscent moments, when

few decades, we often lay too much
stress upon our science" and upon the
remarkable lubors of our colleagues
and too little upon some less obtruSNe

whose deficient collaboration the wheels

In a recent letter from 5000 Michigan av-
enue Chicago, H., Mr. Moody says the fol.
lowing;
"For over twenty-five years l
suffered from catarrh. and for
ever ten years l suffered from
catarrh of the stomach terribly.
81 have taken all kinds of medi-
cineS and have been treated by
all kinds of doctors, as thousands
of my acquaintances are aware
in different parts of the United
States, where have travelled, but
my relief was only temporary,
until a little over n year ago 1
started to take Peruna, and at
the present time l am better than
/ have been for twenty years.
"The soreness has left my stOm-
ach entirely and l am free from
indigestion and dyspepsia and
will say to all who are troubled
with catarrh or stomach trouble
of any kind, don't put it Off and
suffer, but begin to take Peruna
right away, and keep it up until
you are cured, as you surely will
be if you persevere.
"My wife, as many in the southwest can
say, was troubled with a bad cough and
bronchial trouble, and doctors all over
the country gave her up to die, as they could
do nothing more for her She began taking
Peruna with the result that she is better now
than she has been in years, and her cough
has almost left her entirely. The soreness
has left her lungs and she is as well as she
ever was in her life, with thanks, as she says,
to Peruna. Yours very truly,
