pr. Llewellyn Jordan, medical examiner of the U. s. Treasury Department grad uate of Columbia College, and who served three years at West Point, has the fol- lowing to say of Peruna:
 Allow me to express my gratitude to you for the benefit derived from your wonderful remedy. One short month has brought forth a vast change. and I now consider myself well man after months of suffering. Fellow sufferers. Peruna will cure you."-Dr. Llewellyn Jordan.
 A tonic is a medicine that gives tone to some part of the system. There are diff ferent kinds of tonic, but the tonic most needed in this country, where catarrh is so prevalent, IS a tonic that operates on the mucous membranes.
 Peruna is a tonic to the mucous mem- branes of the whole body It gives tone to the capillary circulation which consti- tutes these delicate membranes.
 Peruna is a specific in its operation upon the mucous membrane. It is a tonic that strikes at the root of all ca-

Men the Same as Women Use Peruna for Systemic catarrh With Equally
 Good Results.

In letter from Emsley, South Dakota MT. Adam Doering writG as follows:
 For about three years was afflicted with sleeplessness, lack of appetite and felt at all times feverish and nervous. There would be ringing in my ears, and I got so weak finally that could not at tend to my farm work.
 During this time three physicians treated me; they did not help me and gave me no hope of recovery. I was positive of dying soon, when my atten- ton was called to Peruna. I tried the medicine without much expectation of being benefited by 1t. But soon its effects began to show. I could sleep, my appe- tite returned, I became stronger men, tally and my nervous trembling ceased. I used about twenty bottles in a year, and at the end of that time I was another man. My health was and Is now more robust than it has been for many years.
 "Peruna saved my life and I write this letter to express my thanks. I hope that you will use it and make it known for the benefit of suffering humanity. We are never without Peruna in our house now, and it never fails to help"-Adam Doer- ing

the question and as I had heard sev- eral of the men under me speak of how much Peruna had helped them I decided to try 1t and am glad indeed that I did, Six bottles made a new man of me. I eat well, sleep well and get up feeling re- freshed and rested. My official duties are not half so hard and I certainly have good reasons to heartily endorse Peruna.' - -C. s. Rhoads.
 Hon. H. w. Ogden, Congressman from Louisiana, was elected to the 53d, 54th and 55th Congress. In a letter written al Washington, D. C.. he says the following of Peruna, the national catarrh rem edy:
 "I can conscientiously recommend your Peruna as fine tonic and all-around good medicine to those who are in need of a catarrh remedy. It has been com mended to me by people who have used 1t, as a remedy particularly effective in the cure of catarrh. For those who need a good catarrh medicine know of noth- ing better."-H. W. Ogden.
 We have letters e commendation from over forty members of Congress at testing to the virtues of Peruna as a ca tarrhal tonic.
 MT. l.. H. Bourbeau, 49 St. Hubert St, Montreal, Canada, writes:
 'I have suffered a great deal with con- stipation, owing to the lack of exercise and too close application to my desk. Peruna proved veritable blessing to me, and one dollars worth did me more good than one hundred dollars worth of doc tors medicines, not to mention the suf- fering from backache and headche and tired feelings when you feel that you cannot stop work. even though you are not able to go on. A few doses of Pe- runa relieved me and my health was soon restored. I am now completely well and give Peruna the eredit"-L. H. Bourbeau.

 That it is a specific for this phase of catarrh called catarrhal nervousness the following letter shows:
 MT. T. W. Scott, Custom House, San Francisco, Cal, writes: Some time ago I suffered from indigestion, loss of sleep and what might be termed general ex- haustion. I was recommended to try Pe- runa, which did, and found that 1t did all that was claimed for 1t. I had tried quite a number of tonics. but Peruna was the first one from which I derived any great benefit. Several of my family have used it for different complaints, as we never are without a bottle In the house, and it seems to be a household necessity. I always recommended it to my friends who think need such a remedy."-T. w. Scott.

Hon. Frank Dunn, Alderman Twenty fourth District, writes from 2S2 East Fifty eighth street, New York City:
 "Gentlemen-There is no remedy Tor broken-down system that l know or which will so effectually restore health as Peruna.
 ''whenever I am overworked or suffer from the consequences of a cold few doses of Perura builds me up again more quickly than anything I ever tried. l find it especially valuable for catarrh. Three bottles cured me three years ago of catarrh of the stomach and l have never had the least symptom of it since. ' Frank Dunn.

"For the past five years I have rarely been without pain, but Peruna has changed all this, and in very short time.

I give all credit where 1t is due, and that Is to Peruna."-Emma Mitchell.

America Is the land of nervous women. The great majority of nervous women are so because they are suffering from some form of female disease By far the greatest number of female troubles are causd directly by catarrh. They are ca tarrh of the organ which Is affected. These women despair of recovery. Female trouble is so common, so prevalent. that they accept 1t as almost inevitable The greatest obstacle in the way of recovery is that they do not understand that 1t Is catarrh which Is the source of their ill., ness. In female complaint, ninety-nine cases out of one hundred are nothing but catarrh. Peruna cures wherever located.
 Mrs. Emma Mitchell, 52O Louisiana Street, Indianapolis, Ind, writes
 "Peruna has certainly been a blessing in disguise to me. for when I first began taking 1t for troubles peculiar to the sex and a generally worn out system, l had little faith.

Almost everybody needs tonic in the spring. Something to brace the nerves, invigorate the brain. and cleanse the blood. That Peruna will do this is be- beyond all question. Every one who has tried 1t has had the same experience as Mrs D. w. Timberlake, of Lynchburg, Va, who, In recent letter made use Of the following words; T always take dose of Peruna after bushes hours, as 1t is a great thing for the nerves. Thefe is no peter spring tonic, and l have used about all of them."

 "Peruna Is a most valuable medicine. It affords me unlimited pleasure to testify to the merits of your remedy as ca- tarrh cure I have used it as such and find it of very great benefit when my sys- tenn is run down. I heartily recommend Peruna to all whose nervous systems are deranged." Yours truly, G. B. GROVE, M. D, The nervous system is the source of all our bodily powers mental or physical The brain and spinal cord generate the power and the nerve fbers convey the power to every part of the body. | It is the nerves that give the heart power to beat; it is the nerves that give | the arteries the power to contract, and | thus regulate the flow of blood through | them.
