Mrs. Elin Malmgren, 133 Frederick St., West Manchester, N.
II., writes: "Every spring and fall for eleven years, I have been
troubled with catarrh in my throat and nose and hoarsehess, and I
am very pleased to state that at last I found a medicine, Peruna, from
which I received great benefit, and I will hereafter use and recom
mend it. I always keep it in my house in case of sickness. I recom
mend your medicine to all my friends and every sufferer, as an ex
cellent medicine for colds and for building up strength. We have
many Swedish friends in Boston who use Peruna and think a great
deal of it. If all the Swedish people in this country could knovf what
an excellent family medicine your, Peruna is I am sure they would,
keep it in the home'. '
