Peruna has been doing much good in re-
lievlng untold cases of catafrh and ca
tarrhal diseases In the United States, as
well as in other sections of the world.
A great many prominent men and wo-
men know by experience that Peruna has
special virtues in relieving catarrhal affec-
tions of the stomach and digestive organs,
but, of course, 1t does not happen every
day that so desperate a case as Mr.. Lock-
harris comes to public notice.
Proof of Pe-ru-nas Merit.
The fact that he had tried so many ply
scians-the fact that he had spared no
pains or expense-had been examined by
experts-had been treated by specialists
had passed through all kinds OF expert
mentaton and manipulation and yet re-
ceiyed no benefit-and then, after all this
had happened, he quietly begins to take
Peruna and finds prompt relief and per-
manent cure-these facts are much too
important and startling to escape the no.
tiee of the ever-vigiant public press,
Magazine Writers and the People.
Magazine writer's who make speciality
of assaulting patent medicines are liable
to shut their eyes against this kind OF lit
erature coming from the people. But, the
people are always inclined to listen to
practical proofs uttered by practical peo
pie, versus theoretical writers who know
but little of the great masses and their
needs.
Revised Formula.
For number of years requests have
come to me from a multitude of CRATE
full friends, urging that Peruna be given
slight laxative quality. | have been
experimenting with a laxative addition for
quite a length of time, and now feel graf
flied to announce to the friends Of PERU
ma that have incorporated such quail
ity In the medicine which. in my opinion
can only enhance it's well known benefl-
cial character.
