DOCTOR HARTMAN
Has Something to Say Concerning
Female Troubles,
And Gives Some Advice for the
Benefit
OF Suffering Woman.

1t is not often that Doctor Hartman can
find time in the midst of his tremendous
and sll-absorbing practice to stop and
talk for even few minutes, but when &C.
casionally he does secure brief breath
ing spell and has few minutes for con-
versation he always has something inter
esting and valuable to say. One of these
rare occasions recently presented itself,
and, as usual, the doctor proceeded to dis
cuss matters relating to human diseases
and their remedies in his Enthusiastically
felicitous and instructive style. His theme
on this occasion was the many and serious
complaints common to women. As this
is a subject whose importance cannot be
over-estimated, and as what Doctor Hart
man has to say is, by reason of his long
experience and his exceptional success as
physician and surgeon, of peculiar in
terest to the public, we gladly give space
for it.
From the minutest atom of matter, be-
gan the doctor, to the stupendous mass of
the mighty universe, there is marked
duality of strength and weakness. This
duality disoloses itself in masses, in forces,
in structures and in tendencies. AS this
is true in inanimate nature, so it is equal
ly true in animate nature. And as it pre-
walls in vegetab BILE and in lower animal life,
so it prevails in human life. Indeed, the
higher we ascend in the scale of evolution
the more marked we find this
duality. Ard when we come to
compare the structure of the fe-
male organization with that of the male,
81 aaho &c
of the one with that of the other, the diff
ference becomes not only most noticeable,
but most serious. So much finer is the
structure of the female organization
than that of man, and go much more
highly strung is her nervous system, that
she is ever exposed to changes and sub
ject to disorders and diseases that man
knows nothing of. From the time when,
as girl of from thirteen to fifteen, she
attains sexual maturity, to the very last
day of her life, she is constantly afflicted
to greater or less degree with troubles
peculiar to her sex, and is in danger at
any moment of becoming the victim of
the most dangerous functional disorders.
Over study as pupil, a slight exposure
resulting in cold, over-work of any kind
and any sort of heavy lifting-all or any
of these may quickly bring on irregular
tiles that may entail most serious and
painful consequences. A nervous
shock of any description may
cause the same thing. But it is
particularly in that period known as
"Change of Life" that woman's strength
and vitality is sorely tried. 1t is then, of
all times, that she needs the most intelli-
gent and skiIlful treatment and the most
constant care. AS it generally goes hand
in hand with general debility, the patient
is greatly reduced and her suffering is
extreme.
No medicine ever discovered has proved
so effective nd achieved such remarkable
result in every variety of female troubles,
from the lightest to the most severe form,
as Pe.ru.na. The case l will give as an
illustration of its power is but one in a
thousand. The important point to be
attended to in all cases of this kind is not
possible equanimity, to take all
the rest and quiet circumstances
will permit, and to have
patience the latter especit lily when tn
trouble assumes chronic character. Pc
ru-na, with Man-a-lin to keep the bowels
regular, is all the medicine that is neces-
sary, and is an infaliple cure. One more
caution. lhiuness of blood causes women
great deal of trouble. Do not take iron
to thicken or strengthen it! Pe-ru-na is
not only all that Is needed, but it is a
thousand fold better than iron, which is Of
no earthly account in case of impover-
ished blood. The vegetable constituents
of Pc ru-na not only contain all the iron
the blood wants, but they contain it in
Just the form in which the blood can alb
sorb it. Iron, as iron, can never enter the
blood. 1t is a fraud and a delUsiop.
give yOu the following case as one OF a
Thousand illustrating what have said:
Mrs. G. A. Proehl, of New Portage,
Summit county, o., suffered extremely for
over five years with Female Troubles of
the most painful and dangerous charac-
ter. After enduring intense torments of
body and mind for some time, she placed
herself under the care of her family ply
siciap. He told her that she was suffer
ing with Leucorrh9a, and proceeded to
doctor her for that disease. For one en-
tire year he treated her, and then was
compelled to inform the suffering and al
most despairiug woman that Liberation
of the Womb had set in. Still, having
confidence in his ability to cure her, she
continued in his charge. For two whole
years he doctored her, and at the end
of that time he confessed that he could do
nothing for her, ard resigned from the
case. And frightful indeed was the condi
tion in which he found her, and in which
DR.. Underwood, one of the leading physi-
clans of Akron, Ohio, and who then began
to treat her, found her. Not only was she
paralyzed and helpless as baby; not only
had all sense of feeling left her; but she
finally went com pletely blind. For nearly
two years she was unable to walk, and a
more helpless, abject, miserB BILE and hope.
less woman could net be found on the
face of the earth. What was life to her,
having lost her two grand senses of sight
ard feeling? The sun rose and set each
day in all its glory, but she saw it not.
The trees blossomed, the flowers doomed
the grass grew green at her feet,
but she saw them not. With
life's beauty all vanished, and her
own pleasure as well as useful
ness gone in the terrible wreck of her
body, certainly it is little wonder that,
when even DR.. Understood WAS at last COM
PEELED to tell her that her awful case was
beyond his power to cure, she gave up in
absolute despair and found her only con
