81 think Peruna Is q grand medicine,
and wish to add my testimony to the
many others you have"
The fight against consumption is be-
coming q national problem.
Everywhere we hear OF sAnitariums
established at the expense OF the state
for the treatment Of the vast army of
consumptives.
The open air treatment, fresh air and
sunlight, are recognized by the medical
profession generally as being the great
est necessities in the treatment Of con-
sumption in all its stages.
DIR. Hartman has for many years ad-
vocated the fresh air treatment for con-
sumption. At the same time he has
recognized Peruna as a useful pallia-
tive for the many distressing symptoms
which accompany the white plague.
The promptness with which Peruna
relieves fresh cold, and even removes
chronic colds, Is well-known. This
ranks Peruna as a reliable prophylactio
against consumption.
