A TALK TO FARMERS.

Many family depends largely upon
Pcruna as family medicine and the
family physician.
Some farmers are far removed from
physicians, and in any case they are
far more sclf-roliant and more Liable to
depend upon household remedy than
people who live in the cities.
Dr. Hartman, who for many years
was farmer himself, and who still
owns and manages one of the best farms
in the State of Ohio, is a friend of the
farmer, and i, is with the farmer that
the immense bulk of his correspondence
Is conducted.
The millions of booklets published
and distributed 10y Dr. Hartman every
year circulate chiefly among the farm
ing class.
a large number of unsolicited testi.
monial- concerning P2runa ONE from

T7HE farmer Is the salt OF the earth.
i Without the farmer, the industrial
world with all lis furry and immense
wealth could not exist for day.
1t is upon the soil that we all depend
for our living.
No matter how far one may TO re-
moved from tiliing the soil, or how lit
tie he may know about the farmers vo-
cation, he is vitality dependent upon the
things which grow in the soil.
Farming is TIE basis OF all wealth and
is the bulwark of all civilization.
The farming class is rapidly becom'
ing intelligent and shrewd in business
management.
The reuben and the country pumpkin
have disappeared and in their stead a
practical well-trained business man
capable of the highest form Of com
mercial activity, has arisen
Pcruna Il a very popular medicine
among the farming class.
