WOMEN NOT SICK.
But Miserable, Weak, Nervous,
Tired, Dyspeptic, Slsepless
and Melancholy.

The number of women who con-
slider themselves as really sick or
inValids are few In comparison to
the number of people who feel mis-
cradle month after month. but will
not give up. continuing to do their
regular work.
This class of people do not think
they need to take medicine. Indeed
they dread to begin taking medi-
cine for fear they will get worse In
stead of better. The fact is, how
ever there is no class of people who
receive more prompt and lasting
ing benefit from medicine than this
very class.
If one has a poor appetite, is tired,
dcbiitated and worn out, Perund
quickly invigorates the whole sys-
tenn. We have hundreds of letters
from women who were weak and
nervous all the time until they be-
gan the use OF Peruna, Peruna ls
especially adapted to protecting
against and curing nervous diseases
Of rundown women, as the testi-
monials of Miss Allan and Miss
Cullen indicate.
People recovering from acute dis
eases find perura to be without any
equal as a strengthening medicine,
as in the cast of Miss Jouris.
School girls overtaXed with study
ought to take Peruna.
