An Old Mans Letter.

Mr.. Isaac Brock of McLennan county,
Tex, has attained the great age of
Ill years. He speaks as follows of
Peruna:
''After a man has lived in the world
as long as I have he-ought to have
found out a great many things by ex-
perience. l think have done so. One
OF the things / have found out to my
entire satisfaction is the proper rem
edy for ailments due directly to the eff
fects of the climate. For Ill years 1
have withstood the chanseable climate
of the United States. During my long
life 1 have known great many rem
edies for coughs, colds, catarrh and
diarrhoea. had always supposed these
affections to be different diseases. For
the last ten or fifteen years 1 have been
reading DR.. Hartman's books and have
learned from them one thing in spar-
ticular-that these affections are the
same, and that they are properly called
Catarrh. AS for DR.. Hartman's rem
edy, Peruna, 1 have found it to be the
best if not the only, reliable remedy
for these affections. 1t has been my
standby for many years, and I at
tribute my good health and my ex-
IRENE age to this remedy. Mr.. Isaac
Brock.

F. W. Radtke, 74O Biintzer street,
Philadelphia, Pa, writes:
Il deem it my duty to inform you
that I have been troubled with catarrh
for four years and could not work at
my trade. 1 have tried almost every
cure on the face of the earth, and had
doctors attend me at their office and in
the hospital, but could not get relief
until tried your wonderful Peruna
was very doubtful whether It would
help me, but at a good friends advice,
I tried your Peruna, which is a God
send to all catarrh sufferers. After
taking but four bottles am very much
pleased, indeed. 1 can safely say that
one more bottle will be enough. After
taking the second bottle I could go to
work at my trade (sawyer), and the
dust has no effect on my throat now
1 shall recommend Peruna to everybody
who suffers with catarrh. IF. w.

A Fruit-grower's Letter.

w. L. Birch. fruit grower. Alton. Va.
writes
MY wife was very much run down
and out of sorts every way. She had
female weakness and was very weak,
nervous. and had no appetite. 1 tried
her on everything 1 could think of, but
Ehe would not touch d thing-could not
eat strawberries, even. I saw Peruna in
my fathers store one day, and after
reading the printed matter on the bot
tie, decided to have my wife try it, Be
fore she had taken half of the bottle
she commenced TO eat, and now she
is hungry all the time. We both agree
that it beats any medicine to bring
an appetite and put the nerves in good
shape that we have ever had anything
to do with.
I'VE had our family doctor to give
her medicine, but she did not improve
in the least. She has consumption in
her family and she was in such bad
shape and so run down that I begun
10 get very uneasy. but your medicine
has made an entirely new woman Of
her. I believe she eats and feels bet
ter now than she has for years. I haC
no idea it would do half what it ha.
done. and don't think there is another
medicine made that viii begin to com
pare with it."-W. Z. Birch.
