self to every mother with girls to raise,
In these days. The exigeneIcs of school
life, the hurry and routine of every day
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

Another mother, Mrs. Martha Moss,
r.. F. ID. 5, Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin,
says: "Our little eight-year-old 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 werei "You have
done a great deal for her. She is the
only girl we have, and IL meant lots te
us TO have her cured"
These are samples of many letters
which DR.. Hartman is receiving, COP

goes right steadily on giving permanent
relief. After all, It is cures that the

WHY sALvEs FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA
They Clog the Pores--Oniy a Liquid
Can Reach the Inner Skin.


Since the oid-fashioned theory of
curing eczema through the blood
has been given up by scientists.
many different saives have been
tried for skin diseases. But it has
been found that these saivcs only
clog the pores and can not penetrate
TO the inner skin below the epider-
mis- where the eczema germs are
lodged.
This-the quality Of penetrating
probably explains the tremendous
success of the only standard liquid
eczema cure, oil Of wintcrgrecn as
compounded in d. d. ID. Prescrip-
tion. After ten years OF cure after
cure, the worlds leading skin spe-
cialists have accepted this as the
true eczema cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate to
recommend d. d. d. Prescription at

those who have never tried the pre-
scription, we have arranged with the
