of the year.
This condition is no doubt caused by
the long, severe winters experienced
in this part of the continent.
Therefore, when Peruna was discov-
cred by Canadian people to be a re-
liable remedy for these catarrhal dis
eases, it at once became a popular medi-
cine not only among individuals and
in families, but in the great hospitals,
where 1t was used as a preventative
and relief in hundreds of cases.
These institutions do not hesitate to
give their endorsement Of the remedy
which has been so helpful in the treat
ment of their poor and sick.
Among these institutions is that of
the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, who
gave the following endorsement;
The Pcruna Company,
Columbus, Ohio.
Having used Peruna for the past few
months. for our sick and poor, we are
happy 10 say that 1t has given us great
satisfaction.
