Regard Peruna as Their Shield Against Caar Coughs Colds, Grip
 and Catarrhal Diseases.

Miss Flora Wilson, 2472 Seventh Ave, New York City, writes:
 "For anyone who is as susceptible to coughs and colds as I am, Peruna is blessing. I am never too careful, and am always catching cold, which some- times develops into an annoying catarrh of the head. Peruna I have found is excellent for this, being very quick in it's action, besides being most excellent tonic."
 Miss Helen Sauerbier, St. Joseph, Mich, writes
 "Last winter 1 caught sudden cold which developed into an unpleasant ca- tarrh of the head and throat, depriving me of my appetite and usual good spir- its. A friend who had been cured by Pe- runa advised me to try it and I sent for g bottle at once, and am glad to say that in three days the phlegm had loos- ened, and I felt better, my appetite re- turned and within nine days was in my usual health"
 Mrs. Leslie Carter, probably the most prominent actress in America, says the following of Peruna:
 "Peruaa Is sure 10 prevent q cold II WiH stop . cough before fl becomes seffIed. # cures all catarrhal affections like magic. No money could tempt me to be without fhis remedy for even . day. II Is Just the remedy that all Womsa need, especially such women that gre exposed fo the Vicissifudes Of climate, as Tam.
 "I never negIecf an opportunity 10 recon. mend this remedy 10 my friends. Ills Americas greatest remedy for Americas gnesfesf enemy, catarrh and catarrhal anerfions. would not have catarrh for q niiion dollars, aad as IosS as have Peruna af hand 10 check the slightest symptoms Of hs approach, ' feel perfectly safe from this disease" M LESLIE CARTER. Colds are considered one of the neces- sary ills of life. One is liable to catch cold both summer and winter. Very often cold is the starting point or cause of lengthy and dangerous catarrhal disease. Colds are always dangerous and should never be neglected day.
 A cold is the beginning of catarrh. 1t may cause catarrh of any of the internal organs-the head, throat, lungs and stomach especially. A remedy that will cure a cold, then, would cure all these direct effects of colds. Peruna is such Q remedy. We have letters from all over the United States attesting to this fact. The poor and rich alike use and recom- mend it. A book of testimonials in the exact words of the writer sent to any address free of charge by the Peruna Medicine Co.,, Columbus, Ohio.

'SaE6d My Blf6 and Kept Nc from Insane Asylum" Mrs. Wilcox is Now in Perfect Health Through NOOther
 Agency Than
 PAINE'S Celery Compound
Earnest and Candid Statements Mady by a California Lady,

The absolute need of an honest and genuine invigorator and health giver in the spring season is deeply impressed on the mind of every thinking and lntel- ligent man and woman.
 The happy cure of Mrs. J. E. Wilcox of Winters Cal. through the use or Paine's Celery Compound, created wide spread astonishment and joy amongst her friends and neighbors who were eN- ceedingly anxious regarding her condi- tion.
 The best medical treatment failed even to give Mrs. Wilcox a few days of re- lief from her sufferings or mind and body At last, Paine's Celery Compound saved her from a terrible end and plant ed her feet firmly on the rock of health.
 Read Mrs. Wilcox's letter of testimony dear reader and if you remain obdurste and unbelieving after sucn an earnest and convincing confession of cure. noth- .ng but a direct act of Providence can snatch you from the dangers and perils of your position. Mrs. Wilcox says:
 T feel it my duty to tell you what Paiue's Celery Compound did for me. Some years ago my head troubled me so that 1t seemed I should be crazy. It was caused by overstudy. I asked the advice of two doctors who gave me medicine to no effect and I did not know what l would do. I did not want to see any one, every thing seemed so strange. I had a tired. tagging feeling. my bowels were out of order, my kidneys troubled me, and l felt badly, but before I had taken half of one bottle of Paine's Celery Com pound felt like a new person. Four bot ties cured me and I would recommend t to all who feel the way I did. l can't praise it half enough, for know it saved my life and kept me from Imprisonment in an insane asylum, which is as bad as dcath.

ST. ELIZABETH HOSPITAL

ST. ELIZABETH HOSPITAL
 It is said that the Hospital marks the ad- vance of civilization. The modern Hospital is certainly much more than "a refuge for the sick and injured" Many of the problems of medical treatment, of surgery, etc, have been worked out within Its walls. It is the seat of all that is best in practice or in remedies, and the fact that Dr. Har- ter's Iron Tonic is used in so many of the best hospitals is a tribute to it's merit. Years ofexperience and patient trial have demon- strated it's usefulness and reliability for convalescents, in cases of debility, old age, loss of appetite, impoverished blood, etc., and hence it has been generally adopted.
 Don't be fooled. New and miraculous remedies are put on the market every day, with great noise and a bewildering lot of faked testimonials. Don't be deceived, you know that Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic is all right or it would have been crowded out of the market years ago, along with the many others that have come and gone. It has not only survived but fourished be- cause it has genuine merit.
 Dayton, Ohio, Feb. IT, 1901.
 "As an experiment we began using Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic in St. Elizabeth Hospit- al, in the treatment of convelescents and cases of chronic debility and have found it very efficacious. w. also found 1t particu- larly valuable in treatment of senility, loss of appetite, or impoverished blood. We recommend it highly"
