Catarrh Causes Female Diseases.
America is the land of nervous women.
The great majority of nervous women are
so because they arc suffering from some
form of female disease. BY far the great
est number of female troubles are caused
directly by catarrh. These women despair
of recovery. Female trouble is so common,
SO prevalent. that they accept it as almost
inevitable. The greatest obstacle in the
way of recovery is that they do not under
stand that it is catarrh which is the source
of their illness
In female complaint. ninety-nine cases
out of one hundred are nothing but catarrh.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.
