Secretary Woman"s State Fedora ton Says, "Pe>ru>na Does More Than is Claimed For It"

Mrs. Julia NJ. Brown. Secretary of tho Woman's State Federation of California, writes from 1S1h Fifth St., Los Angeles. Cal, as follows:
 q have never known of any patent medicine that did what 1t professed to do except Peruna. This remedy does much more than it claims, and while I have never advocated any medicine I feel that 1t is but justice to speak a good word for 1t, because l have found 1t to be such a rare exception
 'I have known several women who were little better than physical wrecks. mothers who dragged out a miserable painful existence but were made well and strong through the use of Peruna. have known of cases of chronic catarrh which were cured In a short time, when a dozen different remedies had been ex- perimented with and without good re- suits I use it myself when I feel ner- vous and worn out. and 1 have always found the results were most satlsfacto- ry."-Julia M. Brown.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman. giving a full statement of your case. and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

 It is the only reliable internal remedy ever devised to cure any case of catarrh, however long the case may have been standing.
 What can be cured in the be- ginning in a week or two by using Peruna, if allowed to be- come chronic, may require months of faithful treatment. You had better take Peruna now, for by and by you may be obliged to take it for a long time in order to get well. Pe- runa is the remedy for catarrh. Almost everybody knows that by heresay and thousands know 1t by experience.
 The best time to treat ca tarrh is at the beginning. A bottle of Peruna never fails to cure a common cold, thus pre- venting chronic catarrh.

FEMALE WEAKNESS IS
 PELVIC CATARRH.
Always Half Sick are the Women who Have Pelvic Catarrh.

Catarrh of any organ, If allowed to progress, will affect the whole body. Ca- tarrh without nervousness is very rare but pelvic catarrh and nervousness go hand in hand.
 What Is so distressing a sight as a poor, half-sick, nervous woman, suffering from the many almost unbearable symp- toms of pelvic catarrh2. She does not consider herself i'll enough to go to bed. but she is far from being able to do her work without the greatest exhaustion This is a very common sight and is al- most always due to pelvic catarrh.
 It is worse than foolish for so many women to suffer year after year with 8 disease that can be permanently cured.

perfect specimen of physical man as Senor FranceiA whose muscular devel- opment Is little short of astounding.
 Senor Francelia toys with 250 pound dumb bells as though they were but feathers and his work with the l0o0 pound weights almost surpasses belief even after it has been seen, and the weighing of the weight has been witness ed. The act of these people has been seen by all the crowned heads of Europe. King Edward of England went into rap lures over the strength and perfect phy- sleal culture of the Francelias.
 Sublime Exhibition.
 Senor and Senorita Francelia end their twenty minute performance in the royal hippodrome with an exhibition that is sublime. Senorta Francela. weighing over 200 pounds, seats herself in an ordi- nary chair, placed upon a table. Senor Francelia closes his teeth around the back rung of this chair and with no aid. other than that of his great strength and neck muscles, lifts the chair with It's human burden from the table and per forms an elaborate cake walk around the large hlppodrome stage, still holding sus- pended the chair and its 200 pounds of avoirdupois by his teeth.
 In the royal hippodrome will also be presented the Muncie ZonareS or Muncle' Ind, an organization that has won all the military drill contests that It ever entered. The commanding officers of the United States army have declared the Muncie Zonares, the most perfectly drill ed corps of men in the world. They were like lightning in tehir work and every move Is made in perfect unison by the seventy men that compose the squad.
 Other Attractions.
 The Millman trio of high tight wire troupe of acrobats will also be seen in the royal hippodrome at the Orphans carnival. where likewise will be present. ed the marvellous high dive of Marvello. who leaps headlong from the top of 150 foot ladder. alghting in a 7xlO tank containing but five feet of water. By &C., tual measurement the dive Is made from an elevation of over thirty feet greater altitude than was ever successfully &C., complshed by any other high diver in the world and it is but fit and proper that Colonel Mundy should have secured hi mas a part of this great show.
 Besides the royal hippodrome show, the Orphans Home carnival will consist of other individual shows and many dis tinct attractions.

Pe-ru-na Is Not a Local Treatment.

Catarrh is frequently located in inter- nal organs which canont be reached by any sort of local treatment. All this is known by every physician.
 To devise some systemic internal rem edy which would reach catarrh at its source, to eradicate 1t permanently from the system-this has been the desire oi the medical profession for long time Forty years ago Dr. Hartman confronted this problem. He believed then that he had solved it. He still believes that he has solved it. He cures thousands of people annually. During all these years Peruna has been the remedy upon which he has relied.
 It was at first private prescription afterward manufactured expressly foI him in large quantities. The remedy. Pe- runa, Is now to be found in every drug store and nearly every home in the land

 q have been troubled with catarrh for a number of years, but 1t really never bothered me until last sum- mer. While spending my vacation l caught a sever cold, and the pains in my nose and head were terrible. I thought, naturally, they would pass away with the cold, but I was mistaken. finally began to realize the seriousness of my trouble and that I must do some thing for it. I heard of Pe- runa as a great remedy for catarrh, and bought a bottle of 1t. After using 1t for three weeks I could breathe through my nose quite free ly, and the obstruction had nearly disappeared. con tinued using 1t until l had used nearly three bottles. l am thankful to say l am entirely cured"
 Agnes Homyer, Clayton, Mo, writes:
 "As a catarrh remedy Pe- runa has no superior. l have used 1t for ar aggravated case of catarrh in the head and throat. r-our bottles brought me great relief. It heals the mucous mem brane quickly, taking away all the inflammation.
 q also found that 1t strengthened my whole sys- tenn, and l certainly consid- CT it a valuable remedy for catarrh in all forms, and stomach troubles. I am pleased to reciprocate for the benefit derived from Pe- runa."

After cold has been contracted a teaspoonfuI of Peruna every hour will shortly cure 1t, leaving no trace of 1t behind. After chronic catarrh has become established, or the first stages of chronic bronchitis or con sumption have been reached, it will take much longer to effect cure.

No Woman Need Suffer Year After Year With Female Trouble.

" HERE are a 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 sapped away by catarrhal discharges.
 Peruna is such specific for such cases that when patients have once used 1t they are permanently cured It begins to relieve the disagreeable symptoms at once. The backache ceases, the trem- bling knees are strengthened, the appe- tite is restored, digestion made perfect, the dull headache Is stopped, and the weakening drains are gradually cured. These results certainly follow a course of treatment with Peruna.
 The Mucous Membrane Is to the Inside
 What the Skin is to the ooutside of
 the Body.
 The mucous membrane is to the inside of the body what the skin is to the out side of the body It lines every organ, duct and cavity. Catarrhal Inflammation attacking one part, is liable to spread to the other parts. A neglected cold or slight catarrh Is often the cause of lin- gering and dangerous catarrh.
 Women are naturally more susceptible to inelemencies of the weather than the men. With them a cold IS often the starting point of some severe pelvic de- rangement, causing much pain and suf- fering.
 Every woman needs remedy upon which she can rely to keep her system fortified against the severe and trying winter weather If Peruna Is taken at the first symptom of cold 1t will cure 1t before itSdevelops into some annoying catarrhal Arrangement.

 Miss Gertrude Stebbing, Room POP, 36 Lasalle St, Chicago, H., writes
 About half a year ago l contracted a severe cold which settled in my sys- tenn and finally developed into catarrh of the head, which was very troublesome. 'I had frequent headaches, my eyes smarted, and my head was stopped up so that I felt dull and stupid all the time.
 q had known of so many people who had used Peruna and been benefited that I was sure that it would do me good and so I bought a couple of bottle and used them. I became better right along and before I had finished the fourth bot tie I was cured.
 'I am pleased to recommend your med icine. for I consider it very good Ger trude Stebbng.

 "Peruna, think saved my life after I had been suffering with ca tarrh of the lungs for several months. I coughed at night so that I could not rest, my lungs and throat were sore and I thought at one time that I had consumption. As soon as I had used Peruna few days I felt the soreness decrease and I did not cough nearly so hard at night. Gradually I began to improve.

HER GREAT FORTUNE.
A Woman Saved From Lifelong Misery and Made Happy
 and Useful.

A woman confined to the house for sew eral years with a chronic female de- rangement had finally given up hope of being cured.
 She had tried physician after physician, and remedy after remedy without any permanent improvement.
 Her treatment had cost her husband who was a poor man, hundreds of dol lars. They had been obliged to deny themselves many comforts of life in or der to get money enough to pay the phy- sicians.
 The woman had become weak nervous and wretched. and scarcely able to keep out of her bed. Her children were grow ing up neglected and ragged. because of the want of a mothers care. Her hus- band was becoming discouraged and broken down with overwork.
 Picking up the paper one day she hap pened to read an item which contained the news that Dr. Hartman would treat such cases free of charge by letter. She mediately wrote the doctor describing her case, and giving him all her symp- toms.
 She soon received a letter telling her exactly what to do. and what medicines and appliances to get. She began the treatment (he principal remedy being Peruna) at once. and in few weeks she was well and strong again. able to do her own work.
 This offer of free home treatment to women Is still open to all who may need the service of thls eminent phy- sican. All letters applying for treat ment will be promptly answered and be held strictly confidential.
 Catarrhal Dyspepsia Cured:
 Miss Annie Hoban, Fast Pocahonta of Yemasse Council of Red Men CWomans Branch). writes from SIP Eighth Ave, New York:
 '"rhree months ago I was troubled with backache and a troublesome heavl- | ness about the stomach. Sleep brought | me no rest, for 1t was a restless sleep. | The doctor said my nervous system was out of order, but his prescriptions did not seem to relieve me. I was told that Peruna was good for building up the nervous system. After using 1t for two months I know now that 1t Is. I want to say that it made new woman of me. The torturing symptoms have all disap- peared and I feel myself again. Peruna did me more good than all the other medicines I have taken."-Annie Hoban.

THE STRONGEST MAN IN ALL THE WORLD Senor FranceIia With the Mun-
 dy Amusement Co. EXAMPLES OF HIS WORK Will Be One of the Leading Features of the Royal Hippodrome Show
 At the Orphans Home
 Carnival.
EXAMPLES OF HIS WORK

The carnical and street fair to be held for the benefit of the Orphans home. will begin one week from tomorrow night.
 The main entrance to the enclosure will be located on Second avenue, just west of Seventeenth street. The grounds will extend west In Second avenue to Four teenth street, taking in several vacant plots of ground in between and spreading out into Sixteenth and Fifteenth streets far enough to permit the location of three or four shows.
 Because of a desire on the part of the committee to avoid shutting off the street any sooner than necessary, the work of constructing the fence, that is to enclose the carnival grounds, has been delayed as long as possible but bright and early tomorrow morning small army of men will be put to work on the job with instructions to rush it to completion
 llIuminatons a Marvel.
 The electrical illuminations at the car nival will be marvel. The carnival grounds will resemble fairyland more than anything else There will be myriads of incandescent and arc lights and all the while at night, the powerful search lights of the Mundy company will con- tinue a steady play here, there and ev- anywhere.
 The lineup of the carnival shows will represent all that is best in the amuse ment world and the highest class of att fractions that big salaries can command.
 Diavolo, the man who will loop the loop on a bicycle at each performance In the Royal Hippodrome, is perhaps the highest salaried performer in the world. This assertion, which may seem unduly extravagant at a glance. Is nevertheless true for Diavolo is in receipt of a regu- lar salary of 5000 per week, the entire year round. This puts Diavolo's income at $52,0Oo per annum, which exceeds by $2OO0 the annual salary of the President of the United States.
 In the Royal Hppodrome show are also many other acts that command large remuneration for the work done. The Fraucelias for instance are the highest salaried "strong people" in the world. And the act which these people present is well worth the money paid
