"About two months ago I was

demic catarrh that is to say, a va
riety of acute catarrh which is so con
tagious and runs a course more or less
definite, the same as scarlet fever,
whooping cough, etc.
During the acute stages of la grippe
It Is not a very fatal disease, but the
condition in which It leaves the sys
tem baa caused the death of a count
less number.
Indeed, nearly every person who bas
had la grippe within the last three
years finds himself more or less de
ranged by the pernicious effects of
this disease. The majority of those
who have escaped death find life
scarcely worth living.
If this vast multitude of people
could only know with what certainty
and promptness Peruna would relieve
them of all the bad efTects which la
grippe has brought upon them, what
an untold amount of suffering would
be averted!

Peruna cures catarrh In all stag
and varieties, whether acute or chron
ic, and is therefore the most effective
remedy ever devised for removing all
the derangements which follow la
grippe.
Samuel M. York writes from lT"oni
Grove. AJa the following letter:
"Dear Sir: Last week I was taken
with la grippe and catarrhal deaf
ness, I wrote you for advice and fol
lowed your directions. After taking
two bottles of Peruna I found myself
well of la grippe, and my bearing was
fully restored. My health Is better
than it has been in five years.
"My wife Improved In health tery

very sick. I had hemorrhages of
the lungs nearly every day for a

been for many years.
"I highly recommend Peruna to all
my neighbors and friends. Peruna is
my favorite medicine, I shall always
have Peruna in the house." Miss
Caroline J. Kahl,
If you do not derive prompt and
