COLDS
An up-to-date remedy for
colds. That is what Peruna
is. In successful use over
30 years.
Colds are caught In many
-ways: Illy ventilated rooms;
rooms that have direct draughts ;
crowded rooms; damp houses;
stuffy school rooms; offices illy
heated.
A dose of Peruna at the right
time, at the first symptom of
cold, before the bones begin to
ache, before the sore throat
manifests itself, or the cough, or
the discharge from the nose, just
a dose or two of Peruna before
these symptoms begin is gener
ally sufficient. But after the cold
is once established with the
above symptoms prominent, a
bottle of Peruna, or maybe two,
will be necessary.

It laid dowu.yeat'H ngo that all

Also rented houses threatened to spoil
Rotheuburg's domestic architecture,

it easy for men to buy the houses they
lived In. It lent money at low intercut

because the houses nro good security.

to their wood carving, chimney pieces,

equally profitable to tho Inhabitants,

farming. Ho can himself work in tho
modest baby carriage or toy factory,
while his wife and children havo gone

man has his own production of fruit
and vegetables nnd sometimes even his

estimated, averago In value 30 per

Reliable evidence Is abundant that women

t The many testimonial letters-that we are continually pub

ine, true and unsolicited expressions of heartfelt gratitude
for the freedom from suffering that has come to these
women solely through the use of Lydla E. Pink ham's
Vegetable Compound.
Money could not buy nor any kind of influence obtain
such recommendations ; you may depend upon it that any
testimonial we publish is honest arid true lf-you have any
doubt of this write to the women whose true names and

Read this one from Mrs. Waters:

my kidnoys woro nffoctcd. I had a doctor all the time and used a
galvanic battery, but nothing did mo any good. I was not able to go
to bed, but spent my time on a couch or in a sleeping-chair, and soon
became almost a skoloton. Finally my doctor wont away for his
health, and my husband hoard of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

it has saved many others why should it fail in your case?
