the Grape Nuts food for a short time I
discovered that I was taking on new
life and my appetite began to improve:
I began to sleep better and my weight
increased steadily: I had lost some so
pounds but under the new food regime I
have regained almost my former weight
and have greatly improved in every
way.

I want to say a word for Peruna
for systemic catarrh, and trust others
who read this may try It and receive
the same good from it that I did.
Il had been aiIing for a long time
and nothing seemed to do me any
good, although I tried many doctors
and many medicines. I had become
SO bad that there was no pleasure in
living.
7 was finally asked by a friend to
try Peruna, which I did, with many
misgivings. What was my delight,
after taking the first bottle. to see a
great change for the better and kept
on improving until completely re-
covered.
Il now feel like a new woman. It
has done wonders for me, and gladly
recommend it to others. Rose

Hurst was persuaded by a friend to
try Peruna. and she is now perfectly
