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

DR. HARTMAN has probably done
~ more than any other physician
toward popularizing means of
escape from the facial dcformities, such
as watery eyes, twisted nose, offensive
breath, dry cracked lips, due to the raw
aging effects Of catarrh.
He has made chronic catarrh lifelong
study. His remedy, popularity known as
Peruna, is the most famous remedy Tor
catarrh in existence.
Probably there is not a 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.
The multitude Of people that have been
cured of chronic catarrh by using Peruna
can never be known.
