Dear Sir: We have Peruna in the
house all the time and when we think
we need it, we take it. We are about
sixty years old and have not called a
doctor to our place for some years.
We go out in all kinds OF weather and
sometimes when we go on a trip we
take Peruna along. A preventive is
better than a cure. That has been our
experience.
l had poor health some yearseago and
right thing. We both thank you for
your good medicine.
