The Fear Of Grip Makes People

Il
Nervous
There is no remedy in the world that
meets the conditions produced by the
grip better than Peruna.
Peruna strengthens as 1t renovates,
soothes while it stimulates, heals as 1t
expurgates.
Peruna is not purgative, or cathartlc
or sedative, or stimulant, nor vege-
table or mineral poison.
It reaches the source Of all diseases OF
the mucous membranes by its action on
the vase motor system Of nerves.
After Effects Of the Grip.
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. Y
The grip has produced catarrhal in
flammation Of the whole mucous men,
brane, and good health Is impossible
until these are restored to normal con-
dition. This Peruna will do.
A great many remedies have been
suggested for this condition from time to
time. but Peruna is the only remedy
that has any substantial value in these
cases.

Visiting Hereford Monday the
editor of The News was agreeably
surprised to learn that the Chris
