FOR TWENTY SIX YEARS
NOW WELL AND HAPPY

THE experience of Mr.. f. J. Tou-

Wisconsin, is chiefly remarkable
on account of the length of time
he was afflicted.
He writes: 81 have been SUI
fering with chronic bronchitis for
twenty-six years and every winter
l would catch cold and become so
hoarse i could not speak for six or
eight weeks. i could get only tenn
porary relief. .
This winter / was taken with
Grip and was in awful shape. A
fellow workman advised me to take
PE-RU-NA- By the time had
used three-fourths of bottle, the
hoarseness was gone, also that
tired feeling. i am on my second
bottle. Hereafter PE-RU-NA will
be constantly in my house. It is
the best medicine ever put up for
the purpose"
For any disease due to catarrh
or catarrhal conditions, PE-RC-NA
Is equally dependable. Coughs,
colds, catarrh of the head, stomach
trouble, constipation, rheumatism,
pains in the back, side and loins,
bloating, belching gas, indigestion,
