Bad for New York.

Nobody living outside of New York
knows how difficult it has become here
for people of moderate means 10 bring

dint of strong will and an inheritance
of the trucSt graces of life: simplicity.

DR.. Hartman, the Famous Gynaeco!o-
gist and Inventor Of Pe-ru-na o.
fers to Treat Women Free During
the Summer Months.

America is the land of nervous
women. The great majority of nervous
women nre SO because they are suffer-
ing from some form of female disease.
By far the greatest number of female
troubles are caused by catarrh.
Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh
despair OF recovery. Female trouble is
so common, SO prevalent, that they ac-
cept it as almost inevitable. The great
est obstacle in the way OF recovery is
that they do not understand that 1T is
catarrh which is the source of their
illness. In female complaint, ninety
nine cases out of one hundred are moth
ing but catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh
wherever located.
