sends surging through the blood ves- sels the recuperating currents of new life. It does all this by producing healthy mucous membranes.
 Peruna makes clean, stropg mucous membranes in the nose, throat, stom- ach and digestive organs. in this way it reaches the origin o1 all life, all strength and all activity.
 Peruna cleanses these membranes of every vestige of catarrhal conges. tion. This leaves them strong and able to do their work
 Then follows refreshing sleep. Then nervousness disappears. Then a man becomes confident, vigorous, hopeful and happy.
 This is why it is that Peruna is the tonic of tonics. It cleanses the sources of the blood. Good rich, red blood is the result and health follows as nat ural consequence.
 If you do not derive prompt and sat. isfactory results from the use of Pe- runa write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
