"Peruna means health, and health
means happiness. To me Peruna means
both. Last summer felt unusually pros
trated from tho heat. My appetite and
sleep failed me and my strength seemed
to ooze out with the Precipitation, and I
had weak, gone feeling.
Three bottles of Pernna changed all
this l recuperated quickly and blessed
sleep and rest came to me. Peruna is
better than seaside trip. better than a
vacation, in fact better than anything [

Mayme Kearns.
Peruna is just as sure to bring an APP
petite as the sun is to bring the day. A
good healthy appetite and good digestion
of food generally correct a host of all
ments. Loss of strength and loss of
sleep depend in a majority of cases upon
loss of nutrition. If the appetite fails
sufficient food will not be taken. If suf-
ficient food is not taken. the system suf-
fers from starvation, This will surely lead
to a host of ailments In time. Peruna, by
restoring the appetite. cures the who'll
matter by freeing the mucous membranes
and stomach, as we'll as the digestive or
gans, from every trace of catarrhal con-
gestion, Peruna corrects the whole
trouble.
