What used to be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelvic catarrh. 1t has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases of the
pelvic organs are the cause of most cases
of female diseases.
DR.. 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
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
