After. Effects Of the Grip.

Every person who has had la grippe
during the last year should take a
course of Peruna.
The grip has produced catarrhal in
hammation of tho whole mucous mem
brane, and good health Is impossible
until these are restored to a normal con
dition. This Peruna will do.
A great many remedies have been
suggested for this condition from time
to time, but Peruna is the only remedy
that has gained great popularity in
these cases.

tion during forty years experience and
still occupies the unique position OF
being the leading and most generally
used remedy for the after-efTects of
