Pe-ru-na in the Home.

After all. experience is the best
teacher. Some doctors may write In
favor Of Peruna. Other doctors may
write again it. But II is the testimony
of the mothers and fathers who are
rearing families, who love their chill
dren, who must economic as to doc
tor bills, who are raising little boys
and girls into men and women OF
the future. 1t is the testimony of such
people that really counts.
There Is no way to positively aseei-
tain how many families in the United
States rely upon Peruna for the many
climatic ailments to which the family
is subject The number must be a
great one. Several millions perhaps.
They have learned how TO use Peruna
for ordinary ailments, and in that way
are guarding their homes against more
serious diseases.
Such ailments as coughs and colds,
sore throat and catarrh, Group and
collie. indigestion and loss Of appetite,
anemia and nervousness, all these all
ments are promptly relieved by few
doses Of Peruna at the right time.
Millions OF provident mothers and
fathers are guarding the interests OF
the home by using DR.. Hartman's
great remedy. and profiting by his
medical booklets and personal advice.

in the Children's Free hospital. Fri
day evening. he waded into the va.
rious faddists who have advocated
certain eating theories contrary to
the practice of the centuries. Vege'
tarians were told by the doctor that

tasteful to many individuals. but In
adequate to replace the discarded

new men.
Il am not doing this because l like
to turn away men who have worked
for me for many years, but because
of conditions which demand it," says

barber shops manned by colored bar

the difference is told by the receipts.
