Dr.. NJ. c. Gees Experience.


DIR. NJ. C. Gee is one of the physicians
who endorse Peruna. In aletter written
| from 513 Jones street, San Francisco,
| Cal, he says:
"There Is a general objection on the
part of the praCffcing physician 10 adj
Vocafe patent medicines. But when
any one medicine cures hundreds Of
people, 1t demonstrates its own value
and does not need the endorsement OF
the profession.
"Peruna has performed so many
wonderful cures In San Francisco that
4 am convinced that ii is a valuable
remedy. IhaVe frequently advised lis
use for women, as I find IL fESureS

and builds up fIie entire system. IaiSO
consider 1t one of the finest Cafarrh
remedies know of 1 heartily endorse
your medicine. "---M. c. Gee, M. ID.
Women are especially liable to pelvic
catarrh, female weakness as it is com
monty called. Especially in the first
few weeks of warm weather do the dis
agreeable symptoms offemale weakness
make themselves apparent. In crisp,
cold weather chronic sufferers with pei
vic catrrrh do not feel so persistently the
facilitating effects of the drain upon
the system, but at the approach of
summer with it's lasSitude and tired
feelings, the suffererwith pelvic catarrh
feels the need of n strengthening tonic.
Peruna is not only the best spring
tonic for such eases but if persisted in
will effect a complete cure. Write for
copy of " Health and Beauty" written
especially for women by DR.. Hartman.
If You want to read of some cures also,
write for copy of Facts and Faces"
That will surely convince you that our
claims are valid.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DIR. Hartman, giving u
full statement of your ease and he will
be pleased to give You his valuable ad-
vice gratis.

PROMINENT PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE PE-RU-NA,
I8a Dr. M. C. Gee, of San Francisco Says
an eS "Pe-ru-na is of Especial Bene-
/INl I'm fit to Women"

Peruna is able to cure catarrh wher-
ever it may be located by its direct
action upon the mucous membranes.
Catarrh means infiamed mucous mem
oranes. Pcruna acts at once to cleanse
and invigorate the catarrhal condition
OF the mucous membrane no matter
where 1T may occur in the body. It's
action is the same on the mucous lining
of the nose as on the mucous lining of
the bowels. 1t cures the catarrhal in
Illumination wherever it may occur.
DR.. R. Robbins, MusSogee, |. T.,
writes:
Peruna is the best medicine | know
of for cough and to strengthen a weak
stomach and To give appetite. Beside
prescribing it for catarrh, l have ordered
1t for weak and debilitated people, and
have not had a patient but said it helped
him. 1t is an excellent medicine and
1t hts SO many cases.

chance to prescribe your Peruua. L

We say Peruna cures catarrh. The
people say Peruna cures catarrh. Promi-

ERY MAN SHOULD SET HIS FACE LIKE
FLINT. She is striving for economic independence,
and her advanced theories have always borne some
fruit in the marked dstaste for marrying that is
growing among men. The cause for this distaste
does not lie in mans heartlessness yet in his
proAigacy, but in the FANATICISM and UN-
WISDOM of the modern woman To every man
who is deserving of the true home is of all
