Anup-to-date remedy for
colds. That is what Peruna
is. In successful use over
80 years.

Colds are caught in many
ways: lily ventilated rooms:
rooms that have direct draughts:
crowded rooms; damp houses:
stuffy school rooms; offices illy
heated.
A dose of Perura at the right
time, at the first symptom OF
cold, before the bones begin to
ache, before tie sore throat
manifests itself, or the cough, or
the discharge from the nose, j lst
a dose or two of Peruna before
these symptoms begin is gener-

is once established with the
above symptoms prominent, a

her felt shoes.
