OF the Rollins college business school
has just returned from his home
county, Marion, where he had been

heard here on account of the severing

Never Without Pe=ru=na in My House
So Writes Mr. c. g. COnrsrs, Hot Springs, arkansas.
There Are a Multitude of People in
the United States
Who Have Been Restored to Health
By the Use of Pe-ru-na.

There a multitude of people in the United
States who have been restored to health by the
of Peruna. There is trying to deny this fact
AS rule doctors dislike to admit it. There is
and then courageous doctor who does admitit how
ever. In such cases Peruna is prescribed by the
doctor himself. Even though the doctor suffers
pecunary loss by such transaction his patient is
benefited, which ought to be the doctors chief
concern.
we do not claim that doctors generally prescribe
Peruna. But we do claim whenever Peruna is in
diligently prescribed it rarely disappOints either
the doctor or patient.
