Montreal, Nov. z, 1908.
We found Peruna a relief In several
cases.
We csn say II is a good tonic and we
are very thankful.
Sisters of the Good Shepherd.
When catarrh once fastens itself upon
the system it becomes an obstinate dis
ease to eradicate.
A systemic remedy-one that reaches
every internal organ of the body-is an
absolute necessity.
Peruna is just such a remedy. 1t
searches out the cause of the disease,
healing and strengthening the mucous
membranes, and thus giving Nature an
opportunity to perform her part of the
restorative process.
One of the many hospitals which have
found Peruna of value in treating old and
obstinate cases of catarrh is the Hospital
st. John, who write, as follows:
1--WE are happy to tell you that your
Peruna has given us satisfaction. Three
patients have tried it, one 6s years old,
Renoui Dupuis, afflicted with catarrh, is
much relieved, more than he has been
for number of years.
"a young girl, Is years old, had ar
obstinate cough, which half bottle Of
Peruna caused to disappear.
GAS to myself, two bottles have con
WINGED me that Peruna is magniflcen
as tonic.
"Before the treatment could no
walk for quarter Of an hour withou
Lewiston evening teller. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1903-1911, 1908-02-15

experiencing much fatigde. Now can
walk a mile easily.
Through these three cases we desire
to make known to the public the eff
flciency of your remedy"
Hospital st. John, of st. Johns,
Province of Quebec.
A later letter received from the same
institution reads as follows:
"Three weeks ago wrote to tell
you how satisfactory we found
Peruna. We recommend IL highly for
colds, coughs, catarril and neuralgia.
Il have used it myself as tonic with
the best results, taken as directed, half
a teaspoonful every half hour"
Mrs. Eta Booker, Dundurn, Sask,
N, w. t., Canada, writes:
81 suffered with pelvic catarrh until
/ wrote to DIR. Hartman, and after talk
ing treatment as he advised, can say
l am now cured of this most trying
at1liction, for which am truly thank
full. think Peruna the best medicine
for catarrh. never felt better in my
life than do at present"
Peruna not only promptly relieves
coughs and colds in their first stages,
but is equally prompt and efficient for
catarrhal diseases in the chronic stage,
OF course, 1t is only reasonable to
suppose that great deal less medicine
will be necessary to cure slight attack
of catarrh than would be required to
relieve the ailnIent after it had been al
lowed to become chronic.

HOSPITALS OVER THE CONTINENT PE-RU-NA VALU

TATARRH Of the respiratory organs
~ is common ailment in Canada for
at least two-thjrds OF the year.
This condition is no doubt caused by
the long, severe winters experienced in
this part of the continent.
Therefore, when Peruna was discov-
cred by Canadian people to be a reliable
remedy for these catarrhal diseases, it
at once became q popular medicine, not
only among individuals and in families,
but in the great hospitals, where it was
used as a preventative and relief in
hundreds of cases.
These institutions do not hesitate to
give their endorsement of the remedy
which has been so helpful in the treat
ment of their poor and sick.
Among these institutions is that OF
the Sisters of Good Shepherd, who gave
the following endorsement:
The Peruna Company,
Columbus, Ohio,
Having used Peruna for the past few
months, for our sick and poor, we are
hRppy to say that Ii has given us greal
satisfaction.
The Sisters of the Good Shepherd,
August 20, 1908.
Montreal
After a continued use Of the remedy
this institution has found no reason t.
change its good opinion of the remed,
and expresses it's satisfaction in the fol
lowing terms:
