Lieutenant Clarice Hunt, of the Salt Lake City Barracks of the Salvation Army, writes from Ogden, Utah:
 "I am very pleased with the experi- ence had with Peruna. Two months ago was suffering with so severe a cold that I could hardly speak. My whole body was affected with what seemed like catarrh of the whole system. "Our captain advised me to try Peruna, and procured bottle for me, and truly it worked wonders. Within two weeks I was entirely well, and had not used quite two bottles. I would not be with out Peruna in case of emergency, and consider it splendid, reliable remedy.v Lieut.. Clarice Hunt.
