MISS BESSIE FARRELL 1911 Third WI Ave, Brooklyn, N. Y., is Presi. dent of the Young Peoples Christian Temperance Association. She writes:
 "Peruna is certainly a valuable nerve and blood remedy, calculated to build up the broken-down health of worn out women. I have found by personal ex- perience that it acts as wonderful re- storer of lost strength, assisting the stomach to assimilate und digest the food, and building up wurn-out tissues. In my work I have hi.d occasion to recommend it freely, especially to women.
 "L know of nothing which is better to build up the strength of a young mother, in fact, all the ailments peculiar to women, so I am pleased to give it my hearty endorsement.
 Dr. Hartman has prescribed Peruna for many thousand women, and he never fails to receive a multitude of letters like the above, thanking him for the wonderful benefits received.
