MR.. AND MRS. J. o. ATKINSON, INDEPENDENCE. MO.

In letter dated January l, 1900, Mr..
Atkinson says, after five years expert
ence with Peruna:
al will ever continue TO speak good
word for Peruna. In my rounds as a
travelling man am walking adVer-
tiSement for Peruna and have induced
many people during the past year to
use Peruna with the most satisfactory
results. | am still cnred of catarrh."
John o. Atkinson,
Box 272, independence, Mo.
When old age comes or, catarrhal
diseases come also. Systemic catarrh
is almost universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people. Peru
ma is their safeguard Peruna is the
only remedy yet devised that meets
these cases exactly.
Such cases cannot be treated locally
nothing but an effective systemic rem
edy could cure them. This is exactly
what Peruna is.
If you do not receive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use of Pc
runa, write at once to DR.. Hartman,
giving full statement OF your case and
he will be pleased to give you his valu-
able advice gratis.

most critical period in the life of a
woman-change of life. In June,
1895, 1 wrote to you about her case.
You advised a course of Peruna and
Manalin, which we at once commenced,
and have to say it completely cured
her. She firmly believes that she

wonderful remedies.

about my own case of catarrh, which

times l was almost past going. l COM
menced to use Peruna according to your
intructions and continued its use for

taken according to directions. Sue
