Mrs. Hnnnali Land , 1132 East Long street , Columbus , Ohio , is one of the many enthusiastic advo cates of Pe-ru-na. She says : " For many years 1 was subject to ner vousness , despondency , and neural gia , for which doctors and reme dies seemed of no use. At last I was persuaded to try Pe-ru-na. I found it to be exactly the remedy I was so long in search of. It re lieves the tired , depressed feeling felt in spring time at once. It never fails to restore to me natural ap petite and the best of sleep. It has cured | permanently my old neuralgia - gia and despondency , and I wonder why so many people continue to suffer through spring and early summer , when Pe-ru-na is such a prompt and perfect relief. As a family medicine , I believe Pe-ru- ua to have no equal. " It relieves at once cramps , colic , prostration from heat , the ill effects of sudden checking of the perspiration , and all other bad effects of hot weather. As a remedy for nervous prostra tion it has no equal , and the thou sands of men and women of this generation who " have nerves" find it a priceless remedy. Every family should have a copy of " Facts and Eaces. " Einely il lustrated. One of the best books of testimonials ever published. Sent free.
