Bixler, formerly United States Circuit Judge, now United States District Judge, of | Kansas, endorses Peruna, WASHINGTON, Pe-ru-na Testimonials. When any man or woman, out of pure gratitude, writes us a letter, com- menting upon the benefits he has received from the use of Peruna, when he does this without any solicitation or remuneration of any sort, and fur- nishes us a recent photograph, so that his identity and responsibility in the matter is beyond question, then do we consider 4 testimonial available for our advertising purposes, We are at the present time publishing many hundreds of testimonials. We give the name and address in full of each one of these people. We have no use for, nor would we publish for any sum of money, a fraudu- lent testimonial. Todo such a thing would be dishonorable from a moral standpoint, and commercial suicide from a business standpoint, Tonic and Appetizer. W. H. Parsons is ex-State Senator and ex-Special Judge of the Supreme Court of Texas, also Brigadier General in Con- federate Army. In a recent letter from 925 H St., N.

Mr. Charles Schweihs, Lexington, Texas, writes: “J suffered from catarrh of the liver. What I ate disagreed with me, I was weak and feverish. I slept very poorly, had rush of blood to the head, I was very despondent, and took no pleas- ure in anything.
