\W a e é ve I is RR en utler VOL. XXX. - PERUNA EDITORIAL NO. |. | e Dr. Hartman is now offering Peruna to the public asa regular pharmaceu- tical product. It is just as ethical as any compound put up for the medical profession. No straining of medical ethics can find any fault with it. THE PRINCIPAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS are prominently incorporated in the label on the bottle, that the people may know that the claims made for Peruna have a true justification, The only departure we shall make from medical ethics in the conduct of Peruna affairs in the future, is the fact that we shall continue to advertise and sell our product TO THE PEOPLE. If we would agree to sell to doctors only, to advertise for doctors only, then the medical fraternity would be obliged to recognize Peruna as being entirely within their approval. BUT WE SHALL NOT DO THIS, We shall continue to offer Peruna to the people. We shall continue to convey to the people our claims for Peruna as a household remedy, We shall continue to supply the people with free literature, teaching them how to use our medicine, teaching them how to avoid disease, teaching them many things of benefit to the home, We shall continue to do this, whether the medical profession like it or not. We are proposing from this time on to take the public into our confidence, Notwithstanding that some imitators and substitutors will be attempting to put up something which they consider just as good as Peruna, we are going to draw aside the veil of secrecy and allow any one who chooses to know exactly OF WHAT PERUNA IS COMPOSED. This ought to disarm all honest criticism, We expect, however, that crit- icism will continue. On some pretext or other those who are envious of the success of Peruna will continue to find fault, But we are determined to give such people no just complaint. PERUNA IS A GREAT MEDICINE. Now Secure Peruna It has become a household word in Tablets. - millions of homes, Our faith in the remedy is stronger than ever. Every ; year we expect to establish new plants in foreign lands until the people of all the world are supplied with this valu- able household remed: People Who Object to Liquid Medicines Can RR botti try it. If it helps you, be honest and acknowledge that it has helped you, If you want us to we will publish your statement exactly as you furnish it tous. We will add no words, take away no words, If you wish us to we will | publish your portrait in connection with it, We will not do this without your : written request, without your entire consent, : Peruna has cured thousands of people of chronic catarrh, in many phases and locations. At least, that is what the people say to us, through unsolicited testimonials, Peruna will cure many thousand more, in spite of fabricated slarcers to the contrary. $ Wf GUARANTEE EVERY BOTTLE OF PERUNA TO CONTAIN THE INGREDIENTS PRINTED ON THE LABEL. We guaranteo that every testimonial we use is absolutely true—in the exact language of the testifier. We guarantee that every photograph published is the photograph of the BUTLER, MISSOURI, THURSIAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1908.

We know that the users of Peruna will appreciate our stand, We believe that the dealers in Peruna will applaud our course, We expect even our op- ponents will be-obliged to acknowledge finally that Peruna is not only an honest and useful remedy, but one of the GREATEST HOUSEHOLD MEDI- rich.’ ” CINES ON THE CONTINENT, Kentucky Indicts Tobacco Company.
