the number Of catarrhal patients who

continued TO prescribe with the Pc
runa a bottle OF Manalin to those who
needed a laxative. At last, under cir
cumstances explained in my booklet,
was constrained to add the laxative
element to Peruna. This constitutes
Peruna.
Now those who take Peruna will,
first, find themselves promptly reliev-
ed Of their constipation. Second, the
catarrh will gradually disappear. And
once the oatarrh is cured the consti-
patton leaves permanently. Then IL
you follow the advice given in my
book, you will never have to take pills
any more. Csthartics and laxatives
you can ignore. You will be perma-
