A vast multitude of women have been
relieved from the ailments peculiar to
their sex through the use of Peruna as
prescribed by DR.. Hartman.
He receives many letters from all parts
of the country relating to subjects OF
vital interest to womankind.
OF the vast multitude of women DIR.
Hartman treats annually, only a small
per cent. of them consider it necessary
to write to the Doctor at all.
While it is not affirmed that Peruna
will relieve every case of this kind, it is
certainly the part of wisdom for every
woman SO afflicted to give Peruna q
fair trial.

Mrs. Joseph Lacelle, 124 Bronson St.,

''I suffered with bsckache and head
ache for over nine months and nothing
relieved me until took Peruna. This
medicine is by far better than any other
medicine for these troubles. A few bot
ties relieved me of my miserable, half
dead, half-ahvs condition.

neither ache nor pain, nor have had

would soon know it's value and never

"I am enjoying good health since tax
ing your medicine. I had suffered for .
good many years previous to taking
Peruna, and ever since can say that
do NOT know what headache 0rneuraIgia
is. can most assuredly say that any
body afflicted with catarrh in any form
can be cured by taking PsrunA."
