THE ONE MEDICINE.

In the world which women may
rely upon positively. Pe-ru-na is
good for everyone, but particularly
for women. The various weak
nesses which af1ict their delicate or
ganism spring from inflammation or
catarrh of the mucous lining, and Pe-ru-na
is specific for catarrh in any organ of
the body. Any congestion of a mucous
membrane simply means catarrh of the
organ affected. This is why Pe-ru-na
cures all sorts. of troubles where other
remedies fail. If there is catarrhal
affection the matter with you anywhere
Pe:ru-na will cure you.
