Mr. A. R- WOsmfo LfcFoliette, Tens.

The fetter written a short time ago by Mr. A. R. Wilson of LAFol-lette,-Tenn., brings some more direct evidence of the value of Pe-ru-na In the treatment of catarrhal diseases. It reads as follows? —“While attending Billy Sunday’s great revival at Knoxville, Tenn., last February I contracted a cold which weakened my entire system. I have taken only three bottles of Pe-ru-na and feel like anew man. It Is a great system builder as well as a great catarrh remedy." To attempt to even estimate the thousands who. In the last half century, have come to know and appreciate the merits of Pe-ru-na would be worse than useless. The number Is astonishing and Increasing dally. Tour nearest dealer has Pe-ru-na in both tablet and liquid form. Insist upon having Pe-ru-na, the original treatment for catarrh.—Advertisement. Flapper Fanny You’ll Adore Her Watch The Times
