az have suffered with kidney and
other trouble for ten years past.
Last March l commenced using
Peruna and continued for three months
/ have not used it since, nor have i felt

II believe that am well and there
fore give my highest commendation to

Pe.ru.na For Kidney Trouble.
Mrs. Geo. II. Simser, Grant, Ontario,
Can, writes:
Il had not been well for about four
years. had kidney trouble, and, In
fact, felt badly nearly all the time.
"This summer l got SO very bad
to you and began at onGe to take Peruna
and Manalin.
81 took only two bottles of Peruna
and one of Manalin, and now l feel
better than 1 have for some time.
Il feel that Peruna and Manalin cured
me and made different woman OF me
altogether. bless the day picked up
the little book and read of your Peruna."
Ills the business of the kidneys to
remove from the blood all poisonous
materials. They must be active all the
time, else the system suffers. They are
times when they need a little assistance.
Peruna is exactly the sort of n rem
edy. 1t has saved many people from
disaster by rendering the kidneys SER
vice at time when they were not able
to bear their own burdens.
