P-ru-na Actually Cures,
The reason why Peruna has - become a
standard catarrh remedy the world over Is
simply because It cures catarrh. There Is
no othef possible explanation of It. It Is
Simply Idle talk for anyone to pretend that
advertising can create a popularity for a
medicine- equal to that of Peruna.
If Peruna did not cur catarrh, people
would Soon find it out. Perhaps a well
worded advertisement might sell a bottle
of Peruna, even though Peruna were hb
good. Buti after a person has bought one'
bottle, of a useless medicine, no advertise
ment can Induce htm to buy the second
bottle. If, on the other hand, he finds the
medicine to be what It Is recommended,
