"This spring contracted an agra

HENRIETTE @. OLBERG.
Summer colds require prompt treat
menf. They are always grave, and
sometimes dangerous. The prompt
ness and surety with which Peruna
acts In these cases has saved many
lives. A large dose Of Peruna should
be taken at the first appearance Of a cold

repeated doses. There Is no other rem

reliable and quick in its action as Peruna.
