A BURDEN TO ME.
MISS ANNIE CATRON, 927 Main St.,

MISS ANNIE CATRON, 927 Main ST.,
N Cincinnati, Ohio, writes:
"As I have found Peruna blessing for
a severe case of catarrh Of the head and
throat which I suffered from for q number
of years, I am only too pleased to give it my
personal endorsement.
"Catarrh, such as I suffered from, made
life burden to me. my breath trds
offensive, stomach bad, and my head
stopped Up so that was usually troubled
with headache, and although tried
many so-called remedies, nothing gave me
permanent relief. ! was rather discouraged
with all medicines when Peruna was sug-
gested to me.
However, I did buy bottle, and before
that was finished there. was marked
change in my condition. Much encouraged
I kept on until I was completely cured
in a months time, and ! find that my
general health is also excellent" -
People who prefer solid medicines should
try Peruna tablets. Each tablet represents
one average dose of Peruna. ~, -
