How Peruna Promises Nerve Strength and Catarrh Cure
A dramatic ad style piece touts Peruna as a spring tonic for nerves and catarrh. It cites testimonials from Mrs. Curtis and Mrs. Larmer, mentions Erie county official support, and urges readers to write Dr. Hartman for guidance and a book. It frames spring as best for treatment and promotes Peruna as dependable. The piece echoes early 20th century patent medicine rhetoric.
