Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found per.
manent use in so many homes Is that 1t
contains no narcotics Of any kind.
Perunais perfectly harmless, if taken
according to the directions on each
bottle. So used, it can be taken any
length of time without acquiring Q
drug habit.
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
if Peruna contained any drugs of
harmful nature.
