AFTER EFFECTS OF GRIP.

At the appearance of the first symp-
toms of grip people should stay in
doors and take Peruna in small doses
UeaspoonfEl every hour until the
symptoms disappear. This will prevent
a long, disastrous sickness and perhaps
fatal results.
without raising the discussion as to
whether la grippe is produced by spe-
cific microbe or not, at least this much
is certain and admitted by all, 1t VIII
produce chronic catarrh if not prompt
ly and properly cured.
1t leaves a person haggard, weak, sal
low. frazzled-out, mucous membranes
all congested, appetite changeable. d.
gestion capricious, and just about
empties life of ell meaning or desira-
bil.tS.
There is no remedy in the world that
meets the conditions produced by Ia
grippe better than the remedy, Pcruna-
Peruna strengthens as it renoyatess
soothes while it stimulates, heals as 1t
exDur&ates.
Pe.ru-na Reaches the Source OF Ca.
tarrhaI Diseasas-Unhealth
rIucous Membranes.
1t reaches the source of all diseases
of the mucous membranes by its action
on the vasa-motor system
Every person who has had la grippe
during the last year should take
course of Peruna. No one need expect
perfect recovery unless they do so. The
grip has produced catarrhal infiamma-
ton of the whole mucous membrane
and good health is impossible until
these are restored to a normal cOndi-
ton.
This Peruna will do. A great many
remedies have been suggested for this
condition from time to time. but Pc
runa appears to be the only remedy
that has any substantial value in these
cases.
1t has stood the test of forty years
experience and still occupies the unique

effects of Ia grippe.

La grippe has been so often epidemic
in this country that it has come to be
an endemic disease. Every winter we
have more or less of it. 1t is difficult
to distinguish la grippe from a severe
cold. There are many points of SINH
larity, the difference being mainly in
the after effects, which can only be
averted by taking Peruna during the
acute stages Of the disease.
