WHY HOT WEATHER MAKES WOMEN NERVOUS.
Suggestions by Or. Hartman.
to Combat the Nervous Depression
Incident 10 Warm Weathof.

Nervousness is very common among
women, This condition IL due to
apemic nerve centers- The nerve CEN
ters are the reservoir for nerve vitality.
These centers become bloodless for the
want of proper nutrition.
This condition 10 especially noticeable
during the warm season. Every sum-
mer an army of invalids arc produced As
q direct result of weak nervous systems.
This could easily be overcome by the
use of Peruna. Peruna strikes At the
root of the trouble by correcting the
digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes
increased nutrition for the nerve CEN
tiers. Perfectly digested food gives these
reservoirs of life = vitality which ere
ates strong, steady nerves, and in this
manner fortifes and nourishes life.
Miss Blanche Grey. q prominent young
society woman Of Memphis, Tenn, in .
recent letter from 174 Alabama street,
writes: TO a society woman whose
nervous force is often taxed to the
utmost from lack of rest and irregular
meals, / know Of 0ofl1inG which 10 Of 80

Pe.ru-ua Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in SO many homes is that
it contains no narcotic Of any kind. Pc
runa is perfectly harmless. 1t can be
used any length of time without acqAir-
ing drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. 1t is perma-
nent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There
are a multitude of homes where Peruna
has been used of and on for twenty
years. Such a thing could not be pos
sible if Peruna contained any drugs Of
a narcotic nature.
At this season of the year we are
peculiarly liable to intlammations Of the
stomach and bowels. 1t is the part of
wisdom to learn how to cut them short
and in the easist and quickest manner.
Peruna does this by its peculiar power
over all forms of catarrhal troubles.
