Next, with fierce painting, four men
burst through the chaparral that came
up to the rear of our tent and plunged
inside the white walls. 1 had just
time to notice they were haggard and
unkempt and then in a second the
wooden covers were down to allow
them to enter the cages, and then
snapped back in place again.

do SO most heartily. "--JuIia MarIOwe.
Any remedy that benefits digestion
strengthens the nerves.
The nerve centers require nutrition.
If the digestion is impaired, the nerve
centers become anemic, and nervous
debility is the result
Peruna Is not q nervine nor q !

Peruna frees the stomach of Ca

In other words, Peruna goes to the

the disagreeable symptoms disappear.

medicine, got bad again.

way Collins and a dozen poems emu
