At the Height of the Social Season Pe-ru-na Is a Blessing to Women.

Edith M. Barnes. COY Second street, N. E.. Washington, D. C., writes: "I am pleased to state that Peruna did me more good than vacation. Too many parties' theatres and late suppers had so under mined my health that the doctor advised a complete change and rest for year, but did not find this at all necessary af- ter using Peruna for five weeks.

for the first time in her life love had
come to her, in all it's beauty and
glory. She knew equally as well, with
woman's intuition, that David Hor-

certain he would never tell her of it,
or ask her to be his wife. She had
so much. He had so little, and his
pride would not let him go empty

adored. It was then that Miss Ash
