FRAIL WOMAN
IL tho Sobject of q Recent Medical
Discussion,

DteCuSotOus
That American women are growing
more slender and frail is too apparent
to any observer for argument. Slender
ness and fragility are the words that
best describe the typical girl of today.
From an aesthetic standpoint, perhaps,
all this is an improvement on the more
buxom and sturdy woman Of two gen.
standpoint is rapid degeneration.
These delicate creatures are easy to get
sick. hard to keep well, and very diff
cult to cure when sick.
Dr. Hartman has given this subject
special study and thought and done
much toward remedying the matter. He
makes an annual distribution of books
devoted to the subjects of the care and
cure of women. He conducts a pro-
digious correspondence which covers all
parts of the United States, giving ad-
vice. prescriptions, etc, etc. All this he
does withou. charge. Every letter re-
ceives prompt and careful attention and
is regarded as strictly confidential. The
doctor is now busy at work preparing a
book for women only, which will be
ready for publication In a few months.
In this book is shown how few women
are free from catarrh; how many have
catarrh IN some form or location. AS
Pe-ru-na IS the greatest. if not the only,
internal remedy for catarrhal diseases,
it constitutes the Doctors principal pre-
scription. The cures made with Pe-ru-na
are not temporary, like other catarrh
cures, but they remain. Send for free
book OF testimonials. Address The Pc
ru-na Drug Manufacturing Company,
Columbus, Ohio.
