MISS JESSIE NJ. FRAZEE, R. r. 2,

al wish to recommend Peruna as 3
wonderful medicine.
"After suffering with every ailment
that one could be afflicted with, l be-
came so nervous could hardly bear to
think. My stomach would give me
great distress, and had catarrh of the
bronchial tubes and throat.
"I began taking this valuable medI-
cine and found almost immediate relief.
am well and hearty, and have not felt
so well for years."
Peruna Is not q nervine. 1t does
not act as temporary stimulant
for the nerves. The only way that Pc
runa could possibly relieve nervous
ness is to relieve the condition on which
the nervousness depends.
Take, for instance, the case OF MISC
Frazee, of Illinois. Her nervousness
was undoubtedly caused by the condl-
ton of her stomach ana bronchial
tunes. Peruna relieved her nervous
ness by regulating the action Of the
stomach and mitigating the catarrh OF
the bronchial tubes. Her nervouA ness
disappeared simply because the organs
of her body resumed their ordinary
functions.
Good nerves depend upon good blood,
Good blood depends upon normal diees-
ton. 1t is claimed for Peruna that il
will produce vigorous appetite and
regular digestion. There is no want OF
evidence on this subject,
