A great revolution seems to be TAX

Inventive was certain Munich
doctor, who holding that an equable
heat was necessary for the brain,
caused to be constructed on the top

The soldier and the sailor are es
pecially subject to catarrh. In the
barracks and on the field, Peruna is
found equally efficacious to overcome
this physical enemy. If taken in time
it will prevent colds from developing
into catarrh. Even after a cold has
settled in some organ of the body
Peruna can be relied upon as an eff
cacious remedy to promptly overcome
it.
Peruna will relieve catarrh, whether
acute or chronic, but few doses of
it taken in the first stages of the dis
ease will be more effective than when
the disease has become established.
