HE disease now known as ‘grip’ used to be called ‘influenza,’ Itvery closely resembles a cold, but is more tenacious in its hold upon the system and produces more profound dis- turbances, Grip is in reality epidemic catarrh, | When it once begins it spreads over the eountry very rapidly. People do not catch the grip from each other, but each one catches it from the atmosphere, “Most Effective Medicine Ever Tried for La Grippe.” Robt, L., Madison, A. M., Principal of Cullowhee High School, Painter, N.C., is chairman of the Jackson County Board of Education, He is a writer of occasional verse and has contributed toa number of leading papers and magazines,—religious, edu- cational and secular, In speaking of Peruna, Mr, Madison | Bays: “Lam hardly ever without Peruna in my home, Itisthe most effective medi- | cine that I have ever tried for la grippe. “It also cured my wife of nasal ca- tarrh. Her condition at one time was} such thatshe could not at night breathe through her nostrils, “In consequence, an inflamed condi- tion of the throat was byought about, | ¢ getting worse and worse and yielding | to no remedy until Peruna was tried.”) ' The Medical Profession Recognizes The Grip as Epidemic Healthy Mucous Membranes, Those who are fortunate enough to have perfectly healthy mucous mem- branes ordinarily do not catch the grip. | The mucous membranes lining the | nose, throat and lungs, when in a} normal state, are an effectual barrier | against the invasion of grip. But, if there happens to be the slight- est catarrhal derangement of the mucous membranes, then the victim be- comes an easier prey to the grip. Thisin partexpiains why some peo-' ple get the grip, while others do not, | The rational thing to do ia to keep the | system free from catarrh, In attempt | ing todo this most people have found | Peruna to be invaluable. Systemic Catarrh, the Result of La Grippe. Pe-ru-na Receives Cred for Present Good Health. Mrs, Jennie W. Gilmore, Box 44,| White Oak, Ind.
