ADMIRAL SCHLEY
ENDORSES PE=RU=NA.
Pe-ru-na Drug Co., Columbus, Ohio:
Gentlemen: Il can chee1fully say that Mrs. Schley
has taken Pe-ru-na and I believe with good effect.
w. S. SCHLEY. Washington, D. G.

A DMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the fore
- most notable heroes of the Nineteenth
Century. Al name that starts terror in the heart
of every Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clear
head, %undaunted courage and promptdecislon.
Approached by a friend recently, his opin-
ion was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna,
the national catarrh remedy. Without the
slightest hesitation he gave this remedy his
endorsement. 1t appeared on later CONVEX
lily, where it is a ~favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the
wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the
minds of the American people. 1t is out of
the question that so great and famous a man
as Admiral Schley could have any other rea-
son for giving his endorsement to Peruna
than his positive conviction that the remedy
is all that he says it IS.
The fact is that Peruna has overcome all op-
The Opelousas courier., 1904-01-09

position and has won it's way to the hearts Of
the people. The natural timidity which so
many people have felt about giving endorse
ments to any remedy is giving way. Graft
tude and a desire to help others has inspired
thousands of people to give public testimonials
for Peruna who heretofore would not have
consented to such publicity.
Never before in the annals OF medicine has
it happened that SO many men of national
and international reputation have been will
ing to give unqualified and public endorse
ments to a proprietary remedy. No amount
Of advertising could have accomplished such
a result. Peruna has won on its merits.
Peruna cures c2tarrh of whatever phase or
location in the human body. That is why it
receives so many notable and unique endorse
ments.
