Capt. John Orr, Pennington, Miss, has
been 4 most intense sufferer from facial
neuralgia for over twenty years. He has
hal seventeen operations performed on
the nerves-that is, had them divided, cut

emerge. But this never did him any good;
the most eXcruciating pain continued
without the least interruption. He often
tolerable pain. The best physicians failed
to relieve him. They finally advised him
to consult Drs. Hartman s. Miller, at the
St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans, which
he did. They prescribed PERUNA, and
il less than Z month was entirely relieved
OF the pain. Before consulting these doc
tors the least touch to any part Of his face
or nose would cause the most fearful pain,
while now he can blow his nose and wipe
his face without the least fear Of pain.
The captain is grateful beyond measure
forthis unexpected and unhoped for result.

extending clear around her head and deep

All physicians failed to relieve her, as

on DR.. Hartman, who said the cause vas

for her and now every pain has left her.
