DR. LLEwELLy,N Jordan, Medi-

Department, graduate of Columbia Col
iege, and who served three years at West
Point, has the following to say Of Peruna:
"AH0W me to express my graft
fude to you for the benefit derived
from your wonderful remedy.
One short month has brought
forth q vast change and I now
consider myself a we'll man after
months of suffering. Fellow suf-
ferers, Peruna will cure you"
A constantly increasing number Of
physicians prescribe Peruna in their
practice. 1t has proven its merits SO
thoroughly that even the doctors have
overcome thcir.prejudice against social
ed patent medicines and recommend it
to their patients.
Feruna occupies . unique position IN
medical science. 1t is the only internal
systemic catarrh remedy known to the
medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as
everyone will admit, is the cause of one
half tho disease which afflicts mankind.
