why HOT VElTHER MAKES HOBEH nervous.
Suggestions by DR.. Hartman---HoW
to Combat the Nervous Depression
Incident to Warm Weather.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due toeanaemlc
nerve centers. The nerve c%enters are
the reservoir for nerve vitality. These
centers become bloodless foe the want OF
proper nutrition.
This condition il especially. noticeable
during the warm season. Every sum
mer an army of inva!ids are produced as
a 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 in
creased nutrition for the nerve centres.
Perfectly digested food gives these reser-
voirs of life a vitality which creates strong
steady nerves, and in this manner tortlhes
and pourishes life.

Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.

One reason why Peruna has found per
manent use in so many homes is that it
contains no narcotic of any kind. Peruna
is perfectly harmless. 1t can be used any
length of time without acquiring a drug
habit. Peruna does not produce temporary
results. 1t is permanent in its effect.
It 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 possible if Peruna con-
tanned any drugs Of a narcotic nature.

A lady writes from the land Of the
