Neuralgia of the Face.

Capt. John Orr, Pennington, Miss. has
been most intense sufferer from facial
neuralgia for over twenty years. He has
had seventeen operations performed on
the nerves-that is, had them divided, cut
off close to the bone from which they
emerge. But this never did him any good;
IL. most excruciating pain continued
witiou. the least interruption. He often
wished for death to relieve him of the in
tolerable pain. The best physicians failed
to relieve him. They finally advised him
to consult Drs. Hartman & Miller, at the
St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans, which
h2 did. They prescribed PERUNA. and
il less than 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
ti> face without the least fear Of pain
The captain is grateful bevond measure
for this unexpected and unhoped forresult.
Mrs. Elizabeth kenner .oS Laure, street,
New Orleans, has been one of the great
est sufferers from Neuralgia Of the face
daring the past year that we have ever
heard of. From morning to night, and
from night to morning, there was one
constant, racking, tearing, b,s'nins pain,
extending clear around her head and deep
down through every muscle, tooth and
bone in her face. No rest and no sleep.
All physicians failed to relieve her, as
we'll as all remedies. She was constantly
in the most agonizing despair. She called
on DR.. Hartman, who said the cause was
chronic catarrh. He prescribed PERUNA
for her and now every pain has left her.
She feels like another person and can eat
heartily and sleep soundly.
