Is What Woman breads More Than
Pestilence or Famine.
And yet thousands of women are so af
fllcted. In spite of all they can do this con-
better. TOoth-brusbes and breath perfume
seem of no avail. The reason of their fail
ure is, in the majority of cases at least they
do not know the cause of their trouble.
Perhaps the most frequent cause of unpleas-
ant breath is catarrh. The Inflammation of
the mucous membrane of mouth and throat
discolors the teeth, coats the tongue, causes
the lips to become harsh and sore, and i'm
parts more or less disagreeable odor to the
breath. Such a condition must be an ex-
treme annoyance to the women whose in
stincts are naturally dainty; and she would
do anything In her power to overcome it.
To all such women, the word that Peru
ma will absolutely cure catarrh will there
fore be good news. Pc ru ma, by removing
the catarrh, sweetens the breath and causes
healthy secretions to take the place of the
irritating ones which have been the cause of
so much discomfort. "a The teeth are easily
cleaned and the effects of brisk brushing
remain. The tongue resumes its natural
color and the unhealthy coating disappears.
Catarrh of the stomach also is often the
cause of foul breath. Pe-ru-na cures ca
tarrh wherever located.
A book of Ga instructively illustrated
pages on catarrh, of which DR.. Hartman is
the author, will be sent free to any address
for short time by The Pe-ru.na Drug Man
ufacturing Company, Columbus, Ohio.

march was led by Hugo and Mrs. Wesener

but fifteen minute intermissiOn. The mu-
