MIRO. B. FIZER, Mt. Sterling, KY,
1V1 writes:
81 have suffered with kidney and
bladder trouble for ten years past
LAST March 1 commenced using
Peruna and continued for three months.
! have not used it since, nor have l felt
pain.
81 believe that am well and I there
fore give my highest commentator to
the curative qualities of Peruna."
Pe-ru-na For Kidney Trouble.
Mrs. Geo. III. Simser, Grant, Ontario,
Can, writes:
81 had not been we'll for about four
years. I had kidney trouble, and, In
fact, felt badly nearly all the time.
"This summer l got SO very bad I
thought would try Peruna, so 1 wrote
to you and began at once to take Peruna
and Manalin.
II took only two bottles of Peruna
and one of Manalin, and now l feel
better than I have for some time.
~ feel that Peruna and Manalin cured
me and made different woman of me
altogether. l bless the day picked up
the little book and read of your Pcruna."
IL is the business of the kidneys to
remove from the blood all poisonous
materials. They must he active all the
time, else the system suffers. There are
times when they need little assistance.
Pcruna is exactly this sort of rem
edy. 1t has saved many people from
disaster by rendering the kidneys SER
vice at time when they were not able
20 bear their own burdens.
