 Some time ago I was troubled with catarrh of the stomach and spent lots of money in buying so-called catarrh medi- cines and paying doctors bills. Peruna was recommended to me by a friend, and after taking few bottles I am happy to say that l am entirely cured.
 T can recommend Peruna, because I believe 1t to be the best catarrh remedy on the market. My whole system was out of order and my health generally was very bad. but since taking Peruna I am now enjoying better health than I can ever remember, and fully believe that Peruna did the work. I shall always speak a good word in It's behalf"
