What used to be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelvic catarrh. It has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases of the
pelvic organs are tho cause of most cases
Of female disease.
DIR. 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 free from catarrhal
affection of these organs would not be
subject to female disease. He therefore
began using Peruna for these cases and
found it SO admirably adapted to their
permanent cure that Peruna has now
become the most famous remedy for
female diseases ever known. Every
where the women are using 1t and prais-
ing it. Peruna is not palliative SIM
ply: it cures by removing the cause of
female disease. a
DR.. Hartman has probably cured more
women Of female ailments than any
other living physician. He makes these
cures simply by using and recommend
ing Peruna.
