TIME disease now known as

II very closely resembles cold, but
Is more tenacious I'M it's hold upon the

disturbances.
Grip is in reality epidemic catarrh.
When Il once begins II spreads over

from the atmosphere.
"Most Effective Medicine Ever Tried
for La Grippe"
Robt. L. Madison, A. NJ, Principal
OF Cullowhee High School, Painter, N.
g., Is chairman or the Jackson County
Board of Education.
He Is a writer. OF occasional verse
and has contributed to number OF
leading papers and magazines-relig-
ious. educational and secular.
In speaking Of Peruna, Mr.. Madison
says:
Il am hardly ever without Peruna in
my home. II is the most effective
medicine that l have ever tried for
la grippe.
It also cured my wife OF nasal ca
tarrh. Her condition at one time was
such that she could not at night
breathe through her nostrils.
In consequence, an infiamed condi
ton OF the throat was brought about,
getting worse and worse and yielding
to no remedy until Peruna was tried"
Healthy Mucuous Membranes.
Those who are fortunate enough to
have perfectly healthy mucous mem
branes ordinarily do not catch the
Ygrip.
The mucous membranes lining the
nose, throat and lungs. when in
normal state, are an effectual barrier
against the invasion OF grip.
But, IL there happens to be the
slightest catarrhal arrangement OF the
mucous membranes, then the victim
becomes an easier prey to the grip.
This In part explains why some peo-
| pie get the grip, while others do not.
The rational thing to do is to keep
the system free from catarrh. In at
tempting to do this most people have
found Peruna TO be invaluable.
Systemic catarrh, the Result Of la
Grippe. Pe-ru-na Receives Credit
for Present Good Health.
Mrs. Jennie W. Gilmore, Box A.
White Oak, Ind. Ter, formerly House
keeper for Indiana Reform School for
Boys. writes:
'Six years ago | had la grippe,
which was followed by systemic ca
Itarrh.

During an epidemic of grip Peruna
should be used. The doses recon-

After the grip has once been ac-

use OF Peruna In teaspoonful doses
every hour during the acute stage, af-
ter which the directions on the bottle
should be followed.
Experience has shown that the peo-
pie who use Peruna as remedy for
grip generally recover sooner and are
less liable to the distressing and long
