Tho Pc-ru-na Diug MTg Co.:
Gentlemen I have been afflicted with
a disease, commonly known as la grippe,
every winter slnco that dlseas.0 was ills
covered. I have tried many remedies
without success. This spring I was In
duced to to- a bottle of Pe-ru-na. I have
now taken two bottles and havo re
ceived much benefit therefrom. In fact,
all symptoms of tho dlsenso seem to
have left me. Therefore, I cheerfully
rcommend tho virtues of Pe-ru-na.
Yours truly,
Joslah B. Allen.
La grippe has been justly called "Tho
Scourge of the Closing Years of tho
Nineteenth Century. This dibease runs
a courso of very uncertain duration nnd
severity. It leaves the system In a do
plorablo condition. It weakens tho
nerve centers, it impoverishes tho blood,
disturbs tho circulation, dogs up tho ex
cretory ducts, nnd depresses tho whole
vital system. Thero nro thousands upon
thousands of people in this condition ns
tho result of la grippe. Pe-ru-na cures
la grippe.
As to the after-effects of la crinne. so
with the acute stages, Pc-iu-na is a spe
cific. It seems to be thoroughly adapted
to this disease in all Its phases. A great
many lotters aro received by Dr. Hart
man every year In which Pe-ru-na is ex
tolled by tho people as being a prompt
and rellablo euro for la grippe. La
gnppo is in reality n catauhal dleae.
It would bo properly named acute epi
demic catarrh. A fow apcrtmens of tho
letters received by Dr. Hartman on this
subject will bo given :
