 "One day . friend sent me one of Dr. Harfman's pamphlets, and I decided to write to him. He advised Peruna and Manalin, and after taking the medicine two weeks felt greatly relieved. My head did not pain me any scarcely, and my stomach was relieved of its heavy feeling.

 "Bef0re using your remedies could not est anything. I lived on barley water and Panopeptin for two years. Now can eat with pleasure. Every body is SO surprised at my improvement. Everyone says am looking like rose. I would advise all suffering women to take your remedies. I know if 1t were not for Peruna and Manalin would have been in my grave to-day. Icannot thank you enough for the kind advice you havo given me."-Miss Alma l.. Cox.
