Pe-ru-na Protects the Entire House
hold Against Catarrhal
Diseases.

One of the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is our
changeable climate. To protect the
family from colds and coughs is always
a serious problem, and often impossible.
Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate
of every one to catch cold. Care in
avoiding exposure and the use of proper
clothing will protect from the frequency
and perhaps the severity of colds, but
with the greatest of precautions they
will come. This is settled fact of
human experience. Everybody must
expect to be caught somewhere or
somehow.
Perhaps it will be wet feet, or n
draught, or damp clothes. or it may be
one of thousand other little mishaps,
but no one is shrewd enough to always
avoid the inevitable catching cold.
There is no fact of medical science
better known than that Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located. Thousands
of families in all parts of the United
States are protected from colds and
catarrh by Peruna. Once in the family
Peruna always stays. No home can
spare Peruna after the first trial of it.
