GlRLHOOD, WOMANHOOD AND
MOTHERHOOD

Arc Renovated, Regulated and Re-
stored by the Pelvic Catarrh Remedy,
Peruna.
Mrs. E. G. EVERY, sos Diamond street,
Philadelphia, Pa, says: Il feel well,
never felt better, thanks to your attcn-
ton and Peruna. l will be glad to do all
l can III the way of advancing the sale
of your valuable medicine. | do think
Peruna the best medicine | have tried at
any time. Since | began taking Peruna
we have never been without it..
Read what an elderly woman says-a
woman who has passed through all the
phases, crises and experiences of girl
hood, WOmanhood and motherhood: Il
really believe that every woman i'll the
world ought to have Peruna ON hand all
the time; for, il she gets tired, Peruna
refreshes her; if she gets nervous, it
soothes her; if respondent, it cheers and
nVlgorates. 1t is panacea for all IL
regularlties of her monthly periods.
1T is a constant friend to the expect
ant mother; a nevcTfailing standby to
the nursing mother, both for herself and
for her child, and finally when the change
OF LIE comes on, no medicine on earth is
Of equal efficacy to the woman in this
critical period. Surely peruna is the
woman's friend This is no maudlin fiat
terry, but is the simple, plain truth of the
matter"
Miss Bertha E. Sargent writes: II can
scarcely find words to express my graft
tude to you for all your kindness to me-
We have used Peruna i'll our family for
the past year and find it Il wonderful
medicine. 1t has robbed the grave OF
one victim, for l was in critical condi-
ton when | wrote you before. Thanks
to you, however, nly health is fully re-
stored and am better than / have been
for five years. I cannot say too much in
favor of your medicines.
II you can use any words Of mine to
assist you in your work | will only be
too glad. | wish every young lady in
our town could read your book. There
would be q great deal less sickness and
