When Sickness Comes to the
Little Ones
It Is the Mother Who Chiefly
Suffers.

She suffers even more than the child
who happens to be sick.
Her sympathy is deeper than that Of
any other member Of the family.
The mothers look forward with dread
to the torrid heat of summer, thinking
OF their children and the many liabilities
to disease that are before them.
Spring and summer are sure to bring
ailments, especially among the little
folks.
Itdoes not take a mother very long to
discover that Peruna is the best friend
she has in times of illness among the
children.
The doctors may come and &c with
their different theories and constant
change Of remedies.
The doctor of years ago gave entirely
different remedies than he does today.
Each year finds some change in his
prescriptions and in the drugs he relies
upon.
A Multitude Of Mothers
Have discovered that Peruna is the
standby, and that in all the ailments
Of spring and summer to which the
children are subjected, Peruna is the
remedy that viii most quickly relieve.
Whether it is spring fever or stomach
arrangement, whether it is indigestion
or bowel disease, q catarrhal congestion
Of the mucous surfaces is the cause.
Peruna quickly relieves this condition
of the mucous membranes. Its opera
ton is prompt, tile children do not dis
like to take the medicine, it has no dele
FERROUS effects in any part of the body.
It simple remove the cause Of the
disagreeable symptoms and restores the
health.
Perunais not a physic. Peruna is not
anervine nor a narcotic. Peruna does
not produce any drug habit, however
Tong it may be taken. Peruna is not 3
stimulant.
Peruna is a specific remedy for all
catarrhal ailments Of winter and sum
mer, acute or chronic.
The mothers all over the United States
are the best friends that Peruna has.
The Mothers Hold Pe-ru-na in High
Esteem,

their various ailments, but because II

The Benefit Which the Children Of
the United States Have Received
From Pe-ru-na Can Never Be
Put Into Words.

The chronic ailments it has prevented,
the suffering it has mitigated, will
never be fully recorded.
But at least this much can be said that
the coming generation owes a great
debt to Peruna, for it is in the tender
years Of youth that slight ailments are
liable to develop into lasting disease,
thus blasting the whole career Of the
Individual.
The mothers who are bringing up their
children to-day to believe in Peruna
are doing q great work for humanity.
These children broughtup TO believe
in Peruna from the start, win, when
they become heads Of families them
selves, use Peruna with unquestionine
faith.

Pe-ru-na Should Be Kept In

my wife and l used coffee regularly
for breakfast, frequently for dinner
and occasionally for supper-always
the very best quality-package coffee
never could find place on our table.
I'm the spring of 1896 my wife was
taken with violent vomiting, which
we had great difficulty in stopping.
at seemed to come from coffee drink
ing, but we could not decide.
I'm the following July, however, she
was attacked a second time by the
vomiting. | was away from home fill
ing an appointment at the time, and on
my return I found her very low; she
had literally vomited herself almost to
death, and it took some days to quiet
the trouble and restore her stomach.
II had also experienced the same
trouble, but not so violently, and had
relieved it each time by a resort to
medicine.
But my wife's second attack salts
fed me that the use of coffee was at
the bottom of our troubles, and so we
stopped it forthwith and took OH Pos
tum Food Coffee. The old symptoms
Of disease disappeared and during the
years that we haze been using Pos
tum instead Of coffee we have never
had recurrence # the vomiting. We
