DR.. Llewellyn Jordan, Medical Examiner
Of u. 5. Treasury Department, graduate of
Columbia College, and who served three
years at West Point, has the following to
say of Peruna:
"Allow me to express my gratitude
to you for the benefit derived from
your wonderful remedy. One short
month has brought forth a vast change
and now consider myself we'll man
after months of suffering. Fellow
sufferers, Peruna will cure YOU"
Catarrh is systemic disease durable
only by systematic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is what
Peruna does. Peruna Immediately invigor-
ates the nerve-cente which give vitality to
the mucous membranes. Then catarrh dis
appears. Then catarrh is permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.
Peruna is not guess nor eXpeTiment-it
is an absolute scientific certainty. Peruna
has no substitutes-no rivals. Insist upon
having Peruns.
A free book written by DIR. Hartman,
on the subject of catarrh i'm its differ
ent phases and stages, will be sent free
to any address by The Peruna Medi-
cine Co., Columbus, Ohio.
