Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from
1917 West 33rd ST., Minneapolis, Mimi,

Il suffered for years with a pain in

try it. Although l started in with lit

and am happy indeed to be able to say
that am entirely cured. Words fail

health once more is the best thing /
could wish for, and thanks to Peruna

lister.
The great popularity of Peruna as a
catarrh remedy has tempted many
people to initiate Peruna. A great
many so-called catarrh remedies and
catarrhal tones are to be found in
many drug stores. These remedies
can be procured by the druggist much
cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can
only be obtained at a uniform price,
and no druggist can get it cent
cheaper.
Thus it is that druggists are tempt
ed to substitute the cheap limitations
of Peruna for Peruna. 1t is done ev-
