Peruna, as you know. Is a stimulant and
contains eighteen or twenty per cent. Of
alcohol. People take II without knowing
what it is, and such remedies ought to be
prohibited by law. My own mother took
Peruna once. She had a cough, night
sweats, was growing emaciated and weak.
Several doctors examined her. The opin-
ion was expressed several times that she
was going into consumption. One thought
it was chronic bronchitis. At any rate,
her condition was quite serious. She was
unable to get any relief from the doctors
she consulted, although she took their
medicines faithfully for nearly a year.
Some one told her about Peruna, and
against my wish and against the wishes
Of our family, she began taking it. At
