The principal remedy he relies upon in
such cases is Peruna, which every
woman should have, who has any affec-
ton Of this kind.
In view of the great multitude. of
women suffering from some kind of
female disease, and yet unable to find
any cure, DIR. Hartman, the renowned

There is more catarrh in this see

diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed TO be
incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced il a local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies.
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be a constitutional disease,
