A Boon for Suffering Woman.

If there are times IN life that try mems
souls, there are also times that try women's
souls. As woman's organization in general
is more delicate than mans, so she has spe-
eial functions OF a far more delicate chsrac-
ter, which render her much more liable to
derangement and disease, and which require
much more skillful and careful treatment.
No class of diseases tests physicians skill
or medicines efficacy more severely than
female diseases. No medicine has ever
proved itself more successful in the cure Of
such diseases than Pe-ru-na. In that most
trying Of periods, which every middle-aged
woman must pass through, Pe-ru-na has
proved a true boon to the sex. ST had been
a great sufferer for three years, /" writes Mrs.
S. Smith, OF Hillsyille, Pa. 81 had given

ru-na and Man-a-lin. Now am as well az
ever in my life" Regulate the bowels with

Il am glad to say, from long personal ex-

their value cannot be estimated. Their breadth

liable furniture and carpets, in the medium
and fine grades, that we have positively de-
term1ned to undersell any and all competi-

remedial form of medication is Hostetters

antidote to miasmaIic poison has been demon
strated for over 30 years past. The liver when
disordered and congested, the bowels if con-
stipated, and the kidneys if inactive are
promptly aided by it, and it is invaluable for
