Nearly everybody is obliged more or less to take a laxative. There are of course a few exceptions. A great many people also need occasionally to take a tonic. Probably few households ex- ist that do not make use of tonics and laXatives.
 The remedy Peruna is laxative tonic. It not only operates as a gen. tie laxative, but also as a tonic.
 The benefit derived from such a remedy is a great deal more in the prevention of disease than in the cure. After d person has really become sick, either with an acute or chronic ail- ment, the rule should be to employ a physician, CT some one who can give the case his personal attention. But long before thIs happens the person will complain or this or that symptom, which is not severe enough to inter- fere with his regular activities. If at this place before the disease has real

A TONIC LAXATIVE
Peru-na, Up-toDate Fam fly Medicine That Should Be
 In Every Home

ly gained a foothold, in the system, a person was to take dose or two of a good tonic laxative the great majority of cases of sickness would be pre- vented.
 Peruna is a remedy that should be kept in the house. Its virtue as a preventive to disease is the thing wish chiefly to emphasize.
 A slight condition of constipation may lead to serious sluggfshness of the bowels, bilicusness, re-absorption of poisonous material and finally sickness. Or apathy of the stomach in which the food is not relished. may gradually lead to atomic dyspepsia or to the acquisition of some acute dis ease. For either one of these condi- tionS a few, doses of the tonic laxative Peruna would set matters right. This Is why the remedy should always be kept handy by.
 When once the value of Peruna as a household remedy is understood no home would be without it. Cathartics, pills and powders would be discarded. Irritating tonics would be no. longer taken. Alcoholic drinks would have no place. With few doses of Peruna a vigorous appetite is produced and if there be any sluggishness of the bowels their functions is gradually re- stored. Jal
 Most laxatives are weakening in their effect. A tonic laxative guards against this weakening effect. Until right living has become so thoroughly established that all medicines are sq- perfuous, Peruna will be needed. It is exactly the remedy that meets numer- ous necessities of the household. Sold at all drug stores.
