What used to be called female diseases
pelvic catarrh. 1t has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases Of the
peivic organs are the cause of most cases OF
female disease
DR.. Hartman was among the first Of
Americas great physicians to make this
discovery. For forty years he has been
treating diseases peculiar to women, and
long ago he reached the conclusion that
q woman entirely FREQ from catarrhal
affection of these organs would not be
subject to female disease. He therefore
began using Peruna for these cases and
found it admirably adapted to their
permanent cure that feruna has now be-
come the most famous remedy for female
diseases ever known. Everywhere the
women are using it and Praising it.
Peruna is not a palliative simply; it
cures by removing tho cause OF female
disease
DR.. Hartman has probably cured more
women of female ailments than any other
living physician. He makes these cures
simply by using and recommending Peruna.

Only recently has Japan taken its

A Wyncote man has a little fox ter

a habit of following him everywhere.
1t followed him to church last Sun
day and three times was elected.
Nothing daunted, it made a fourth at

trance through a side door, whence
it made its way to its masters pew.
Just then the minister began to pray,
and, thinking that a favorable mo-
ment for action while the heads or
the congregation were lowered, the
man grasped the dog by the back of
the neck and marched down the aisle.
Half way to the door the animal let
a howl that startled the congregation
and nearly broke up the services. In
the rear of the church were several
cadets from the Cheltenham Military
Academy, and when the owner OF the
dog re-entered, very red in the face,
one of them whispered: What did
YOU do with him?" kicked hell
