PELVIC CATARRH GIN Be CURED.

PeruDa Is a Specific In Womens
Diseases.
Mrs. Nellie Mcdonald. 216 S. Cher
ry street, Nashville, Tenn, writes:
When first began to take Peruna
last spring. was unable to attend to
my daily duties. / suffered terribly at
the time of nIenstruation, and al
though | consulted two different
physicians / found that they were not
able to help me. / caught severe
cold during the winter, and 1t caused
Inflammation and scanty menses. and
in addition 1 had gripping pains and
cramps and dreaded the time.
zone of my good neighbors advised
me to try Peruna, telling me how
grandly it had helped her. followed
her advice as l was feeling desper-
ately bad and was very anxious to get
well. Thanks to Peruna I am now
well. Six weeks faithful use of this
medicine cured ME. I feel like a new
woman. Daily pains and misery are
now changed to life and happiness,
and l thank Peruna for the health

Mr.. John III. Anderson, Covington.
Ga, writes the following:
To Whom 1t May Concern:
This is to certify that my daughter,
Blanche Anderson. eight years of age,
three years while living in Massachu-
setts. AT times it affected her eyes
so that she could not bear the light
and would have to be kept in dark
room for three or four days. 1t finally
went to her ears; she became quite
deaf, and one of her ears began to
discharge pus that was very offensive.
wrote DR.. Hartman and he advised
me what to do. l gave her Lacupia
and Peruna. To-day she is enjoying
the best of health; her eyes and hear
ing are both good. heartily recon-
mend Peruna for all catarrhal af-
fections."
Very few people can honestly say
that they are entirely free from Ca
tarrh. A cough is catarrh of the
bronchial tubes. A cold is acute ca
tarrh. Chronic catarrh is simply an
old cold. The people who catch cold
easily have catarrh in the system.
Thousands of people have catarrh
who do not mistrust it. Peruna is the
only scientific remedy for catarrh yet
discovered. A copy of DR.. Hartman's
latest book on chronic catarrh sent
free by The Peruna Medicine Co..

TOO much social life soon reduced
my health to a very bad state and
felt the need of a tonic, but just which
one of the many to take was the
question. After trying several I
finally began taking Peruna, and it
was the ore tonic which / seemed to
need. The way it toned and braced
up my system was truly remarkable,
and within three weeks from the time

T<HERE are a great many people
who are actually invalids from
chronic catarrh of some inter-
nal organ who have not the slightest
suspicion that they are victims of this
universal disease.
This is especially true in cases of
chronic catarrh of the organs In the
lower part of the abdomen, or pelvic
organs.
These organs are especially liable
to catarrh. which give rise to weaken
ing discharges. painful irregularities,
backache, bearing-down pains, smart
ing and throbbing, with a host of
other symptoms, peculiar to weak
persons of both sexes. but occurring
much more frequently in women,
when it is called female weakness.
There are multitude of women,
especially housewives, and all other
women obliged to be on their feet
continually, who are wretched beyond
description, simply because their
strength and vitality is Slapped away
by catarrhal discharges,
Peruna is such specific for such
cases that when patients have once
used it they can never be induced to
quit it until they are permanently
cured. 1t begins to relieve the disa-
greeable symptoms ut once. The back
ache ceases, the trembling knees are
strengthened. the appetite restored,
digestion made perfect, the duh head
ache is stopped and the weakening
drains are gradually cured. These
results certainly follow a course of
treatment with Peruna.

Dainty WOMEN DREAD CATARRH.

NATARRH has been so generally
thought to be disease confined
to the head and throat that it
is very difficult to get many people to
understand that catarrh may affect
any part of the human body. All the
organs of the body are lined with mu-
cous membrane: all the passages of
the body are also lined with mucous
membrane. Wherever there is a mu-
cous membrane there catarrh may aX-
ist
Peruna is not a cure-all. 1t cures
catarrh. This is all that Is claimed
for it.
Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh
despair of recovery. Female troGf'le
is so common. so prevalent, that tGcy
accert ii as almost inevitable. 1he
greatest obstacle in the way of recOv-
cry is that they do not understand
that It. is catarrh which is the source
of their illness. In female complaint.
ninety .1iine cases cut of one hundred
are nothing but catarrh. peruna
cures Catarrh wherever located.
The following letter was recently
received by DR.. Hartman, the inven-
tor of Peruna:

Gentlemen-'fWhat bread and meat

voice the sentiments of women who
were once sick, but arc now in perfect
health."-NiiSs Lizzie Sneathing.
Miss Bertha E. Wentner, a proni-
nent Sunday School worker of Buck
ley Washington, speaks of Peruna In
the following glowing terms:
Having tried several remedies for
chronic catarrh of the bronchial tubes

LIVED LIKE MORMON
Mrs. C. vi. Atwood Unearths
Triple Existence Led by Him
in Minneapolis.

Charles M. Atwood, a piano tuner,
could have furnished the United States
senate with pointers on Mormonism in
its investigation of Reed Shoots mar
ital episodes, according to his wife,
Selma M. Atwood.
In applying for divorce in Judge
Simpsons court yesterday, Mrs. At
wood says her husband maintained
three separate establishments in Min
neapolis. She claims she learned of
his perfidy through the medium of a
furniture contract issued by the New
England Furniture company. Atwood,
it is said, secured three separate con-
tracts for his three households, eX-
planning to the New England people
that he had to provide homes for his
wife, his sister and his daughter.
His wires crossed, it is said, when
Mrs. Atwood No. 1 went to pay her
monthly installment and was handed
the wrong contract. She at first thought
there was some mistake, but her sus-
picions being aroused, she proceeded
to do little detective work. She learn
ed that there was wife No. 2 and
child, and she produced their portraits
In court. She did not bother to in
VeStigate No. 8, but taxed her husband
with his misdeeds. He became terribly
frightened and excited and immedi-
ately decamped for parts unknown.
She was granted a divorce on the
ground of desertion.
