After Effects of the Grip.

Every person who has had la grippe during the la,t year should take course of Peruna. No one need expect perfect recovery unless they do SO.
 The grip has produced catarrhal in fiammation of the whole mucous mem brane, and good health is impossible until these are restored to normal con dition. This Peruna will do.
 A great many remedies have been suggested for this condition from tune to time, but Peruna is the only remedy that has any substantial -alue in these cases.

The Fear of Grip Makes People
Nervous.

There is no remedy in the world that meets the conditions produced by the grip better than Pcruna.
 Peruna strengthens as it rcnovates, soothes while it stimulates, heals as it cXpnrgates.
 Pcruna is not purgative, or cathartic or sedativc, or stimulant, nor vege- table or mineral poison.
 It reaches the source of all diseases of the mucous membranes by it's action on the vase motor system of nerves.
