MISS FRANCES M. ANDERSON,
Corresponding Secretary of the Higher
Educational League, writes from the
Astoria Washington, d. c., the fol-
lowing:
'About two months ago was taken
very i'll with Ia grippe and was Obliged
to go 20 bed. ! took three bottles of
Peruna with very beneficial results,
and was able to leave my bed in a
week and regained my usual strength
very soon.

IarIy afflicted whenever ! can.
Frances NJ. Anderson.
La grippe is, strictly speaking, epidem-
acute catarrh which is SO contagious
and runs a course more or less definite,
the same as scarlet fever, whooping
cough, etc.
During the acute stages of Ia grippe il
is not a very fatal disease, but the cor
dition in which it leaves the system has
caused the death of countless num-
Der
Indeed nearly every person who has
had Ia grippe within the last three years
finds himself more or less deranged by
majority of those who have escaped
death find life scarcely worth living.
If this vast multitude of people could
only know with what certainty and
pronptness lPeruna would relieve them
of all the bad effects which Ia grippe has
brought upon them, what an untoll
amount of suffering would be averted.
Thousands have already heard how

thousands have not yet heard, and con-

Peruna cures catarrh in all stages ana
varieties, whether acute or chronic. and
is therefore the most effective remedy
ever devised for removing all the de-
engagements which follow Ia grippe.
