Pe-ru-Ga Not Only Cured La Grippe but
Benefited the Whole system.

Miss Alice NJ. Dressler, 1918 n. Bryant
Ave-, Minneapolis, Mimi, writes;
"Last spring l suffered from la grippe
and was partially cured but the bad
after effects remained through the sum-
mer and somehow did not get strong
as l was before. One of my college
friends who was visiting me asked me
to try Peruna and / did so and found
it all and more than had expected. 1t
not only cured me of the catarrh but
restored me to perfect health, built up
the entire system and brought happy
feeling of buoyancy which l had not
known for years. "-Alice NJ. Dressler.
