VERY TRYING TO women
Are the Peculiar Ills Brought on by catarh Of the Pelvic
Pena Especially Adapted Peculiar Diseases)

Catarrh Is very frequent cause Of
that class Of diseases popularity known
as female weakness. Cafarrh Of tho
pelvic organs produces such variety
of diSagreeable and irritating symp.
toms that many pe0pIe-in fact, the
majority of peOple-have no idea that
they are caused by csfarrh.
A great proportion Of women have
some catarrhal weakness which has
been called by the various doctors she
has consulted by as many different
names. These women have been
treated and have taken medicines, with
no relief, simply because the remedies
are not adapted to catsrrh. It's through
a mistaken notion as to the real nature
OF the diseases that these medicines
have been recommended to them.
faH the women who are suffering
with any form of female weakness
would write to DR.. Hartman, Column
bus, Ohio, and give him q complete
description Of their symptoms and the
pecuiiarifieS of their troubles, he will
Immediately reply, with complete di-
recfiOns for treatment, free of charge.
