THE MOTHERS PROBLEM
or Raising Strong. Healthy Girls.

a serious problem which presents it,
in these days. The exigencics of school
life. the hurry and routine OF everyday
duties, the artificial environment Of
modern civilization, make il more
Ciihcult to raise strong, healthy girls
than ever in the history of the world.
Boys raise themselves. Give them
loom, give them liberty, and they viii
grow up healthy at least, without much
worrying. But the girls present SER
iOus problem.
How many mothers there are who are
worrying about their daughters. Ncr-
vous, puny girls, with poor, capricious
appetttes, blOOdless, listless, a constant
anxiety to the mother. How shall she
solve her problem2 To whom shall she
turn for help2 Each case is more or
less study by itself. and cannot be
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 n puny, sickly,
ailing child since she was born. I was
always doctoring her. When we com
menced TO use Peruna she grew strong
and we'll"
Another mother, Mrs. Martha Moss,
X. r. d. ., Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin,
says: "Our little eight-ycar girl
had a 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
and commenced giving it to the child,
and it proved 10 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 = the
only girl we have, and il meant lots to
US to 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 di frering
as to theories and remedies, Peruna
goes rightsteadily on giving permanent
relief. After all, 81 is cures that the
people want. Theories are of little
account.
