CAUGHT BY THE GRIP
RELEASED BY PE-RU-NA.
La Grippe Is Epidemic Catarrh.

THE disease now known as grip
L used to be called Influenza
livery closely resembles cold, but is
more tenacious in its hold upon the
system and produces more profound dis
turbances.
Grip is in reality epidemic catarrh.
When it once begins it spreads over the
country very rapidly.
People do not catch the grip from each
other, but each one catches it from the
atmosphere.
"M0st Effective Medicine Ever Tried
for La Grippe"
Robt. l.. Madison, a. NJ, Principal Of
Cullowhee High School, Painter, y. G.,
is chairman Of the Jackson County
Board of Education.
He is a writer of occasional verse and
has contributed to number of leading
papers and neutrality-suspicious. edu-
cational and secular.
In speaking of Peruna, Mr.. Madison
says:
81 am hardly ever without Peruna in
my home. 1t is the most effective medi-
cine that / have ever tried for Ia grippe.
at also cured my wife of nasal ca
tarrh. Her condition at one time was
such that she could not at night breathe
through her nostrils.
"In consequence, an inflamed condi-
ton Of the throat was brought about,
getting worse and worse and yielding
to no remedy until Peruna was tried"
Healthy Mucous Membranes.
Those who are fortunate enough to
have perfectly healthy mucous mem
branes ordinarily do not catch the grip.
The mucous membranes lining the
nose, throat and lungs, when in 4
normal state, are an effectual barrier
against the invasion of grip.
But, if there happens TO be the Slight
est catarrhal arrangement Of the
mucous membranes, then the victim be-
comes an easier prey to the grip.
This in part explains why some peo-
pie get the grip, while others do not.
The rational thing to do is to keep the
system free from catarrh. In attempt
ing to do this most people have found
Peruna to be invaluable.
Systemic CataTrEl, the Result of la
Grippe. Pe-ru-Ea Receives Credit
for Present Good Health.
Mrs. Jennie w. Gilmore, Box A,
White Oak, Ind. Ter, formerly House
keeper for Indiana Reform School for
Boys, writes:
"Six years ago had la grippe, which
was followed by systemic catarrh.
"The only thing l used was Peruna
and Manalin, and I have been in better
health the last three years than for
years before.
81 give feruna all the credit for my
good health"

AGE TOLD BY THE PULSE.
From Birth to Death the Beats Have
a Steady Decrease.

How old are you? Ask your pulse.
The human pulse has a wide range,
even In perfectly healthy persons.
The female pulse always beats fast
er than the male, and from birth to
death the pulse beats steadily de-
crease. It has been said by great
authorities that the age and sex Of
a person could be a~scertained by the
rate of the pulse alone. Babies at
birth have a pulse beat of 100 times
a minute in al Of a girl and $50 IN
the case Of boys. At the age of four
or five the pulse beats will have fall
en- respectively to ITO and 100. Maid.
ems and youths pulses average IS
and 80. Mature men and women av-
erage so and rs. Elderly men and
women have an average of 60 and 50.
An old woman's pulse rarely, If ever,
sinks below SO, but among men a
pulse beat below 80 Is quite common.
There are, however, great variations
consistent with health. Napoleon's
pulse is said to have beaten only u
times a minute.

The Evolution Of
Household Remedies,

The modern patent medicine pusi-
ness is the natural outgrowth Of thu
old-time household remedies.
In the early history Of this country.
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME.
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas.
b%itters, la~xatives and %tonics, were to Be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and ~quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made
Of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulate for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written.
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is :
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these homemade remedies, would take
it up, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on a large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanac" for the home.
and thus it would become used over Z
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE.
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. 1t was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed 1t
for his ~neighbors and his patients.
The sale of it increased, and at last he
established a mandatory and fur
uished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
treatment of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe in
DR.. Hartman's judgment, and to rely
on his remedy, Peruna.
