There Is no other disease so many
sided In Its 111 effects, so Insidious In
Its approach, so tenacious In Its hold
upon tho system, as la grippe. Once
there, It stays until It Is cured. La
grippe Is one of the Ills thnt time will
not cure.
The after-effects of la grippo do not
locate In any particular organ. It
amounts to a general Irritability of
the mucous membranes of tho whole 1
body a flabhlness and paleness of the
mucpus membrane. Sometimes theiv
Is an over-amount of thin, watery mu
cous secreted, and nt other times there
Is a dryness of tho mucous surfaces.
There is no remedy In the world th.it
meets tho conditions produced by la
grippe better than the remedy Peruna.
Peruna strengthens as It "renovates,
soothes while It stimulates, heals as It
expurgates.
Peruna Is not a puigatlve, or ca
thntlle, or sedative, or stimulant, nor
a vegetable or mineral poison. It
roaches the source of all dls ass of
the mucous membranes by Its notion
on tho vnso-motor system of nerves.
The following aro samples of the let
ters received bv Dr. Hartman concern
ing the cures Peruna Is making.
