Hundreds Of Women Cured by Pe.ru-na
OF Annoying Catarrh.

0R. HARTMAN has probably done
- moro than any other physician
toward popularizing means of
escape from the facial deformities, such
as watery eyes, twisted nose, offensive
breath, dry cracked lips, due to the raw
aging effects of catarrh.
He has made chronic catarrh a lifelong
study. His remedy, popularity known as
Peruna, is the most famous remedy for
ca tarrh in existence.
Probably there is not man or woman,
boy or girl, within the bounds of the
United States that has not heard of Pc
runa. By far the largest majority have
used Peruna.
Tho multitude of people that have been
cured of chronic catarrh by using Peruna
can never be known.
The Dolores star., 1904-03-11

Many girl has regained her faded
beauty, many a matron has heightened
the days of her comely appearance by using
Peruna.
Peruna produces clean mucous MEM
branes the base of facial symmetry and u
perfect complexion.
The women have not been slow to dis
cover that a course of Peruna will do more
toward restoring youthful beauty than all
the devices known to science.
While it is true that Peruna cures ca
tarrh wherever located, yet it is advis-
able for everyone to use Peruna as a
preventive and not wait until catarrh

system.
Peruna acts quickly and benefcially
on the infiamed mucous membranes
lining the different organs of the body.
Thus it will cure catarrh wherever
located.

tory results from the use of Peruna write
