Ed. CrumbO.

I'D. CRUMBO, Ex-Mayor Of New
II Albany, Ind, writes from 81 T..
Oak street:
my endorsement of Peruna is
based on its merits.
" If a man is sick he looks anxiously
for something which will cure him,
and Peruna will do the work.
~ know that it will cure catarrh of
the head or stomach, indigestion, head
ache and any weary or sick feeling.
1t is bound to help anyone, if used
according to directions.
Il also know dozens of men who
speak in the highest terms Of Peruna
and have yet to hear of anyone being
disappointed in it."
Mr.. Crumbo, in n later letter, dated
Aug. -. 1904, says:
MY health is good, at present, buff

cine | will fall back ON Peruna."
