Dr. Hartman receives many letters from Catholic Sisters all over the Unit ed States. A recommend recently re- ceived from a Catholic institution in the Southwest reads as follows:
 A Prominent Mother Superior Says:
 T can testify from experience to the efficiency of Peruna as one of the very best medicines, and it gives me pleasure to add my praise to that of thousands who have used it. For years I suffered with catarrh of the stomach, all remedies proving valueless for re- lief. Last spring went to Colorado, hoping to be benefited by a change of climate and while there a friend ad- vised me to try Peruna. After using two bottles I found myself very much improved. The remains of my old dis ease being now so slight, I consider myself cured, yet for while I intend to continue the use of Peruna. I am now treating another patient with your medicine. She has been sick with malaria and troubled with leucor- rhma. I have not a doubt that a cure will be speedily effected"

cous membrane, restoring it to it's nor- nal state, would consequently cure all these diseases. Catarrh is catarrh wherever located, whether it be i'll the head, throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys, or pelvic organs. A remedy that will cure it in one location will cure # ip all locations. '
 Peruna is such remedy. The Sis ters of Charity know this. When ca tarrhal diseases make their appear ance they are not disconcerted, but know exactly what remedy to use. These wise and prudent Sisters have found Peruna neyer-failing safe guard. They realize that when adis- ease is of catarrhal nature, Peruna is the remedy. Dyspepsia and female weakness are considered by many to be entirely different diseases-thS dyspepsia is catarrh of the stomad and female weakness is due to catar1 of the pelvic organs the Sisters al fully aware, consequently Peruna their remedy in both these very col mon and annoying diseases.
 If you do not receive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
 Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio.
