may be one of q thousand other little
mishaps, but no one is shroud enough to
always avoid the inevitable catching
cold.
Sometimes colds come like an cpl
demic; everybody seems to have one at
once. The very air about us is poison to
the head, throat and lungs.
There is no fact of medical science
better known than that Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located. Thousands
of families in all parts of the United
States are protected each winter by
Peruna. Once in the family Peruna
always stays. No home can spare Pc
runa after the first trial of it. A splendid
example of this fact is found in the
beautiful home of Mrs. Paul Peschel, of
II Quitman street, Newark, NJ Read
her letter.
