INHERE arc people who object to .the
■«• use of any proprietary medicine, on
the suspicion that spirits may have
been used in its manufacture.
■Even Peruna has not altogether es
caped such criticism. But people who
have taken Peruna, who have known of
the. benefits ot' Peruna by actual expe
rience know how utterly unfounded such
notions are concerning Peruna. AVhen the
treasurer of the National Prohibition Vo
ters' League comes out in a public state
ment to the effect that- words fail to
express his praise for Peruna, and for the
manufacturers of Peruna. it must appear
to every candid mind .how utterly " Irra
tional it is to : suppose that any objec
tion could be niisotl against Peruna from
the standpoint of temperance.
Every great success Is si:rft to make
enemies. Peruna is a great success, and
through jealousy and envy much has been
said calculated to prejudice the public
against it.
But those who have taken Peruna
know better. The vast multitude of peo
ple who have, been cured of catarrh in
some form by Peruna. will never cease to
praise Peruna for the benefits received.
Hon. Geo. W. Mcßride, ex-U. S. Sen-;
ator from Oregon, from tho Dewey Hotel, j
Washington. D. C, writes: "The excel- j
lence of Peruna for catarrh and colds
lias been so satisfactorily established by
niany of my acquaintances who have
been relieved by its use. that I unhesjta
tingly endorse its curative qualities. "Geo.
