"A PROMINENT CHURCH WORKER SAYS
SHE OWES HER LIFE TO PE-RU-NA.
HER GREAT FORTUNE.
A Woman Saved From Lifelong
Misery and Made Happy
and IlSefuI

A woman confined to the house for
several years with chronic female
arrangement had finally given mp hope
of being cured.
She had tried physician after ply
stefan, and remedy after remedy, with
out any permanent Improvement
Her treatment had cost her husband,
who was a poor man, hundreds OF dol
lars. They had been obliged to deny
themselves many comforts OF life in
order to get money enough to pay the
physicians.
The woman had become weak, nervous
and wretched, and scarcely able to keep
out Of her bed. Her children were
growing up neglected and ragged, be-
cause OF the want of mothers care.
Her husband was becoming discouraged
and broken down with overwork.
Picking up the paper one day she hap
pened to read an item which contained
the news that Or. Hartman would treat
such cases free OF charge by letter. She
Immediately wrote the doctor, describing
her case. and giving him all her symp-
toms.
She soon received letter telling her
exactly what to do, and what medi-
cines and appliances to get. She began
the treatment (the principal remedy be-
ing Peruna) at once, and in few weeks
she was well and strong again, able to
do her own work.
This offer of free home treatment to
women is still open to all who may need
the services of this eminent physician.

be promptly answered, and be held
