Pe.ru.na Contains No Narcotics.

One reason why Perana has found
permanent use in so many homes Is that
1t contains no narcotic of any kind.
Peruna is perfectly harmless. 1t can
be used any length Of time without ac-
quiring drug habit. Peruna does not
produce temporary results. 1t is perma-
nent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There are
multitude of homes where Peruna has
been used off and on for twenty years.
Such a thing could not be possible II
Peruna contained any drugs of a mar
cotic nature.
