MFRS. EARNEST HOCHMUTH, l7Ol
4VA Maple st., Des Moines, Iowa,
writes: 1.-TWO years ago our little boy,
Herman, was taken down with scarlet
fever. He took cold with it, and in
stead Of the eruptions coming to the
surface they affected his lungs and
stomach. For weeks we watched by
his bedside, hardly expecting him to
live from one hour 10 the next.
"Finally he became a little better and
was able to sit up. Then he commenced
10 cough, and in spite Of everything we
could do he seemed to get worse all the
time. His coughing spells would last
until he was completely exhausted, and
his lungs hurt him great deal. Every.
body thought he had consumption.
"One day, while at the drug store, my
husband saw q Peruna almanac and
brought It home. We read in it per-
feet description of his case and We
thought we would try Peruna. We
bought a bottle, quit everything else,
and began giving him Pernna.
"By the time two-thirds OF the bottle
was used the cough had almost gone.
After he had taken two bottles he was
perfectly cured. He has not seen sick
day since and is a hearty, healthy boy.
eve shall always praise Peruna, for
1t saved our boys life"
