summer time and have never received
any relief until very hot or very cold
weather set It.
"I had taken these four bottles dur
ing February March nnd April, when
I not only felt greatly better, but was
as the case stands now, cured, for
every year for these three years the
attacks returned nbout the middle of
August and lasted until December.
During tho critical month of Septem
ber I have had only a slight attack of
hay fever or catarrh, which I get rid
of by taking about three-fourths of a
bottle of Pei una, while, for Instance,
the nutumn of '97, during which time
1 had only redress to the remedies then
known to me, I suffered for months.
1 have been entirely free from catarrh
this nutmn with the exception of the
nbove mentioned time.
"J. N'aschold."
Peruna Is a specific for hay fever,
and should be taken during the whole
season of the exposure to the cause;
for, as long as the exciting cause re
mains, no cure can be permanent.
People who aro unable to change their
location during the season or hay fev
er will find Peruna a priceless benellt
to them, as It meets every disagree
able symptom exactly It Is always
advisable to begin the use of Peruna
a week or two before tho expected at
tack of hay fever In old cases, where
the nttack can be foretold, and thl3
will often prevent entirely the return
of the disease. Address Dr. Hnrtman,
Columbus, O., for a free book.
