Ham glad to write my endorse
n'enf of the great remedy, Peruna, ,
as a nerve tonic. I do so most
heartily. "--JuIia MarIOwe.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to anemic
nerve centers. The nerve centers are
the reservoirs Of nervous vitality. These
centers become bloodless for want Of
proper nutrition.
This is especially true in the spring
season. Every spring host of invalids
are produced as the direct result of weak
nerves.
This can be easily obviated by using
Pcruna. Peruna strikes at the root of the
difficulty by correcting the digestion.

Digestion furnishes nutrition for the
nerve centers. Properly digested food
furnishes these reservoirs OF life With
vitality which leads to strong, STEADY
nerves, and thus nourishes life.
Peruna Is in great favor among
women, especially those who have voca-
tions that are trying TO the nerves.
Peruna furnishes the lasting vigor
for the nerves that such people need.
Thousands of testimonials from
women in all parts of the United States
are being received every year. Such
unsolicited evidence surely proves thst
Peruna is without an equal as . nerve
tonic and vital invigorator.

For this purpose Devers was to pose
