There is no fact of medical science
better established than that teaspoon
full OF Peruna before each meal during

tect person from catching cold. Now
if this is true (and there is no doubt OF
it), thousands of lives would be saved
and tens of thousands Of cases Of
chronic catarrh prevented, by this
simple precaution within reach of ev.
cry one.
After cold has been contracted a
tea poonfull OF Peruna every hour will
shortly cure it, leaving no trace of il
behind. After chronic catarrh has be-
come established, or the first stages Of
chronic bronchitis or consumption have
been reached, it will take much longer
to effect cure.
It seems strange that as we'll known

any one should neglect to profit by
them, and yet no doubt there are many
