The MOTHERS PROBLEM
of Raising Strong, Healthy Girls.

A serious problem which presents it
self to cry mother with girls to raise,
in these days. The exigencies of school
life. the hurry and routine of everyday
duties, the artificial environment OF
modern civilization, make it more
difficult to raise strong, healthy girls
than ever in the history of the world.
Bows raise themselves. Give them
roam, give them liberty, and they VIII
grow up healthy at least, without much
worrying. But the girls present a SER
ious problem.
How many mothers there are who are
worrying about their daughters. Ner-
Vous. puny girls, with poor, capricious
appetites, bloodless, listless, constant
anxiety to the mother. How shall she
solve her problem? To whom shah she
turn for help? Each case is more or
less a study by itself, and cannot Do
solved by any general rule.
This is the way one mother solved the
problem. Mrs. Schopfer, $500 Prescott
Ave-, st. Louis, Mo-, in a letter to DR..
Hartman, says: "My daughter Alice,
four years of age, was puny, slckIy,
eiling child since she was born. was
always doctoring her: When we com
menced to use Peruna she grew strong
end WELL"
Another mother, Mrs. Martha Moss,
p. Eds, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin,
SAYS; "Our little eight-year-old girl
had bad cough, and was in general
rundown condition" She had several
doctors, who could give the child no re-
lief and the mother no encouragement.
Finally, she got bottle of Peruna
end commenced giving it to the child,
end it proved to be just what she
needed. When she commenced taking
Peruna the child had to be carried.
Now the mother says she is playing
| around all the time.
Her closing words were: "You have
done a great deal for her. She Is the
only girl we, have, and it meant lots to
us 10 have her cured"
These are samples of many letters
which DR.. Hartman is receiving, COM
ing straight from the hearts OF loving
mothers. While the different schools
Of medicine are pickering and differing
rs to theories and remedies, Peruna
goes Enthusiastically on giving permanent
relief. After all, it is cures that the
people want. Theories are OF nttle
account.
