When once the value of Perunn as q

Nearly everybody is obliged more or
less to take laxative. There are of
course few exceptions. A great many
people also need occasionally to take a
tonic. Probably few households exist
that do not make use of tonics and
laxatives.
The remedy Peruna is a laxative
tonic 1t not only operates as gentle
laxative but also as tonic.
The benefit derived from such n
remedy is great deal more in the
prevention of disease than in the cure.
After n person has really become sick,
either with an acute or chronic all
ment, the rule should be to employ a
physician, or some one who can give the
