1oDyspepsia Is Catarrh of the Stomach.
 Many Women Have Catarrh
 of the Stomach and Do Not
 Know It.
Pe-ru-na Cures Catarrh Wherever Located.

MT. E. E. Gaston, of Milton, Iowa, in a recent letter to Dr. Hartman, says:
 "My wife has been sick with stomach trouble for almost three years.
 "During that time we doctored with three of the best doctors in this part of the country, but they did her no good. She fell off in flesh from 184 pounds to 80 pounds, and was unable to do any thing; in fact, was confined to her bed a good part of the time. Everything she ate she would throw up, even water. The last doctor we had examined her and said she had cancer of the stomach, and said he could do her no good except to give her something to relieve the pain, and that he would not advise us to have an operation performed. This coming from one whom have always had great confidence in, you cannot imagine my feelings and thoughts.
 "Itwas then we decided to quit doc toring and try Peruna, and from the beginning it helped her. She is now able to do all the homework. She is gaining in flesh and I think will soon be back to her former weight.
 gro make long story short, we owe her life to Peruna, for I am satisfied had we not tried 1t she would now be in the grave."
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna. write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be glad to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.
 Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, iOhio.

Last winter took Peruna for severe cstarrh, the effects of a cold and you can imagine my joy when found that this wonderful rem edy not only cured my catarrh but helped my dyspepsia.
 "I took three bottles and found my self well and strong. 7 can now eat heartily and have gained twelve pounds and have good reason to praise Peruua. "---Miss Amanda Moore.
 For the most acute cases of dyspepsia and the most chronic and stubborn cases of catarrh of the stomach Peruna is an unfailing cure.
