Of the Stomach and Do
Not Know t.
Pe-ru-na Cures Catarrh
Wherever Located.


For the most acute cases OF dyspepsia
and the most chronic and stubborn
cases of catarrh of the stomach Peruna
is an unfailing cure.
Mr. E. 2. CASTOR, of Milton. Iowa, in
a recent letter to DR. Hartman, says:
MY wife has been sick with stomach
trouble for almost three years
During thar 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 134 pounds to
so pounds, and was unable to do any
thing; in fact, was confined to her bed
a good part Of the time Every thing
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
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.
1T was 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 think will soon
be back to her former weight.
ITO make a long story short, we owe
her life to Peruna, for I am satisfied
had we not tried it she would NOW be
in the grave"
If you do not derive prompt and salts
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.
