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 afiliet their delicate or
ganisnn 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-r1-na will cure you.
