GENERAL E. J. POCOCK. OF OHIO.
Columbus", Ohio, Nov. 26, 1S97.
Dr. S. IJ. Hartman, President Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg. Co.:
Dear Sir: I believe the use of your medicine, Pe-ru-na, to build up a
broken or debilitated system nbout tho best treatment that can be taken; It
ndds vigor and lends additional strength; It Is certainly one of the very best
medicines In the land. Respectfully, E. J. Pocock.
iPe-ru-na cures catarrh. It Is Dr. Hartmun'r. great prescription for all dis
eases of the mucous membrane. Pe-ru-na acts directly on tho nerves, and
makes the membranes healthy by regulating the flow of blood. Where the
membranes are healthy there can be no catarrh.
Mr. Ralph W. Chullp, Laporte, Intl., writes: "I want to thnnk you a thou
snnd times for what your medicine has done for me. I cannot praise It
enough, nor do I think any one troubled with catarrh, who will try just one
bottle, can help but see what a wonderful medicine it is. I have been
troubled with catarrh for the past eight years, and seven yearn ago It be
came chronic.

got no relief. My anpetlte was gone. I began having heart trouble. Dlnzy
spells that would get so bad I would stagger when I walked. "I was com
pletely discouraged.
"I am now 30 years of age, and I thank Pe-ru-na for the way I feel today.

POCOGK
SAYS
"In the last eight years I have taken enough
different medicines, nnd tried different Inhalers,
that were I lo make mention of them thev would
easily fill a page. I became so bad a year and a
half ago that I took treatment from two different
catarrh specialists.
"The first doctor removed n growth from my
right nostril; he helped me some. I doctored with
him about two months, but ho could not stop the
discharge from my head, which was dreadful. I
have used ns many as six and eight handkerchiefs
In one day. I paid this doctor one dollar a treat
ment. I was advised to quit him and try another
doctor. I did so, and he began giving me medi
cated air treatment that did me some good also,
hut could not stop the discharge from my head.
"Finally my stomach became affected, and eight
graterui it seems as nougii 1 couiu never :uop
talking or writing praise of the medicine. And I
will be th" moans of selling many bottles of Pe-ru-na,
as all my friends know Just how bad I
have been."
Mrs. A. C. Hildebrand. Milton, N. C writes:
"By refere -co to your files, you will see that I was
very u. . and pronounced Incurable by-two of the
best docto s In this country, when I commenced
tho usw of your medicine. I have used nine bot
tles of Pe-ru-na and 1 think that I am perfectly
well. Of cmrse, Pe-ru-na is what did tho work,
and I consider It the grandest medicine In the
world. Mine was a noted case in this county and
everybody thought I would die I never lose un
opportunity to praise your medicine."
Mrs. M. E. Bland, Hartwell, Ga., writes: "I
trust no one would think from this that I would
wlwh my name In public from any cause only to
let sufferers know where they might find relief
from many pains. 1 can truly say I have been
much benellted by the use of Pe-ru-na. I feel bet
ter than I have for years. I have suffered for
years with chronic catarrh, bronchitis, asthma,
and female trouble, of which I have been much
helped by Pe-ru-na.
"I know the virtue of Pe-ru-na. If for no other
reason. It would pay to keep It for colds and
coughs. It keeps off colds, It prevents grippe, and
builds up the nerves?. 1 gladly recommend It to
all." A special book for women, entitled "Health
and Beauty," Is Issued by The Pe-ru-na Drug
