Everybody knows that the life Of the
average physician Il q hard one. He -
often compelled to ride great distances
through mud and rain for . merely NOM
inai fee. Its not fit nor proper for Us to
condemn any physician for his work. but
we do assert that his practice can be made
easier, and he can effect more cures by
the proper and judicious use Of PERUNA.
II he will only add this great remedy to
his list OF medicines. he will find that his
usefulness will be greatly increased. Full
direction for its use will be found in the
Ills Of Life" and he should at once pro-
cure this valuable book.
N. ]. Wright, Business Agent Evening
Herald, Erie. Pa, says: 'DR. HART
MANI can not but feel it my duty to
express to you my thanks for the great
benefit received from the use of YOUR
medicines, PERuNA and MANALIN.
One bottle Of each placed me square on
my feet, after a sickness Of four weeks,
which confined me to my bed, and then
left me lame and crippled. Three days
from the commencement Of the use Of
your remedies the cane was dispensed
with, and in a week was perfectly WELL"

Joseph Thomas, East Brady, Pa,
writes have used your PERUNA and
MAHALIN with good results. In the year
Of 1850 / was so bad that could scarcely

and am now as healthy as have ever
been. / have also recommended it to
several parties, and they have been much
benefited by it."
Mr.. G. II. Harris, New Vienna, Ohio,
writes: "Our little girl was paralyzed
at thirteen months old, and we resorted
to everything we could hear of for relief,
but she appeared TO get but little better.
Hearing of PERuNA we concluded to try
it, and will say it has done her great
deal Of good-the first bottle apparently
giving aid and relief. We have used it for
nervousness in other cases on other per-
sons and found it a success. For general
debility, and in fact for any disease, we
don't think anything else can at all COM
pare with it. We have used forty or fifty
bottles, and our house is never without
PERUNA. Our little girl is now eight
years old, and can run any place, was for
four years helpless. PERUsA cured her."
