After all experience is the best
teacher. Some doctors may write In
favor of Peruna- Other doctors may
write against 1t. But 1t Is the testf-
mony of the mothers and fathers VINO
are rearing families, who love their
children, who must economize as to
doctor bill, who are raising little boys
and girls into men and women OF the
future, 1t Is the testimony OF such
people that really counts.
There Is no way to positively ascer-
tain how many families In the United
States rely upon Peruna for the many
climatic ailments to which the family
is subject. The number must be a
great one. Several millions perhaps.
They have learned how to use Peruna
for ordinary ailments, and in that way
serious diseases.
Such ailments as coughs and colds,
sore throat and catarrh, Group and collie,
indigestion and loss of appetite, ane-
mia and nervousness, all these ailments
are promptly relieved by n few doses
or Peruna at the right time.
Millions of provident mothers and
fathers are guarding the interests OF
the home by using DR.. Hartman's great
remedy, and profiting by his medical
booklets and personal advice.
The plan of furnishing. on large
scale, directly to the people. remedy
for chronic catarrh, Is an immense saw
ing to the people. Peruna Is not simp-
ly a palliative to relieve some OF the
distressing symptoms. 1t brings per-
manent relief.
