paying teller cashes perhaps thou

he must know whether the signature

also a careful student Of the human

Dnring an epidemic Of grip Peruna
should be used. The doses recon-

After the grip has once been acquired,
DIR. Hartman recommends the use Of
Peruna in teaspoonful doses every hour
during the acute stage, after which the
directions on the bottle should be fol-
lowed.
Experience has shown that the people
who use Peruna as q remedy for grip
generally recover sooner and are less
liable to the distressing and long-con-
tinued after-effects Of the grip.
When Peruna has not been used dur
