A Knight Temp!ar Praises Peruna
And Says: 'EI am Better Than Have
Been for Twenty Years."

Colonel T. P. Moody, a prominent
Knight Templar, is well known in every
city in the United States west of Buffalo,
n. Y, as jewelers. Auctioneer. In the
city of Chicago as a prominent lodge
man, being a member of the K. 7. IS and
also Of the Masons. The cut shows
Colonel Moody in the costume of the
Oriental Consistory Masons, 32d degree.
In recent letter from $500 Michigan
avenue, Chicago, ILL.,, Mr.. Moody says
the following:
"For over twenty-five years I suffered
from catarrh, and for over ten years I
suffered from catarrh Of the stomach
terribly.
81 have taken all kinds of medicines
and have been treated by all kinds Of
doctors, as thousands Of my acquaint-
ances are aware in different parts Of the
United States, where have travelled, =,
but my relief was only temporary, until
little over year ago 1 started to take
Peruna, and at the present time I am
better thanI have been for twenty years.
'"The soreness has left my stomach
entirely and 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 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 theresult
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,
T. P. Moody.
Catarrh assumes many forms and at
tacks many organs. Colonel Moody had
catarrh of the stomach, while his wife
had catarrh of the lungs. Both were
cured by Peruna, simply because catarrh
is catarrh, wherever located. It may
attack one organ or another. It may be
chronic or acute. 1t may cause one a
slight inconvenience or great suffering.
Diseases that catarrh sets up are called
