Light on Female Diseases.

What used to be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelvic catarrh. 1t has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases Of the
pelvic organs are the cause of most
cases of female diseases.
DIR. Hartman was among the first of
Americas greatest physicians to make
this discovery. For forty years he has
been treating diseases peculiar to women
and long ago he reached the conclusion
that woman entirely free from ca
tarrhal affection of these organs would
not be subject to female diseases. He,
therefore, began using Peruna for these
cases and found it so admirably adapted
u their permanent cure that Peruna has
now become the most famous remedy
for female diseases ever known, Every
where the women are using il and prais-
ing it. Pcruna is not a palliative SIM
ply; it cures by removing the cause of
female diseases.
Peruna builds up the nerves and re-
stores the appetite and digestion.
DIR. Hartman has probably cured more
women Of female ailments than any
other living physician. lie makes these
cures simply 10y using and recommend
