rNHE day was when men of promi-

monials to proprietary medicines for
publication. This remains true today
of most proprietary medicines. But
Peruna has become so justly famous, its
merits are known to SO many people of
high and low stations, that no one hes
itates to see his name in print recon-
mending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna strong endorsement.
Men representing all classes and sta
tons are equally represented.
A dignified representative of the Pres
byterian church in the person of Rev.
E. G. Smith does not hesitate to state
publicly that he has used Peruna in his
family and found it cured when other
remedies failed. In this statement the
Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in
his church.
Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Presby-
terrain church of Greensboro, Ga.,writes:
"Having used Peruna in my family
for some time it gives me pleasure to
testify to its true worth.
"My little boy seven years of age had
been suffering for some time with ca
tarrh of the lower bowels. Other reme-
dies had failed, but after taking two
bottles of Peruna the trouble almost en-
tirely disappeared. For this special
