Hon. G. r. Brown.
The day was when men of prominence
hesitated to give their testimonials to pro-
prietary medicines for publication. This
remains true to-day 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 hesitates to see his name in print
recommending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna strong endorsement. Men
representing all classes and stations are
equally represented.
