“PE-RU-NA,

A VALUABLE PREPARATION,” WRITES DR. KEMBALL.

| Rachael J. Kcraball, M D., 334 Vir- * g>ow St., Buffalo, N. Y . is a gradual* J of the Uoivereity of Buffalo, ciaas 1884, * and baa been in the practi * cine in that city since then. She writes I as follows: “My oonriction, supported by experience, is that Penme is a valuable preparation for ell ce- • terrhal affections 1 have taken j one bottle of Peruna myself end » just feel fine. I shall continue to • { takeit'-Rarhsal J. ffemhell, MJ). I I'cruoa has cured thousand* of cases of female weakness. As s rule, however, before I’cruoa IS resorted to several other remedies bars been tried in vam. A great many of the patients'Tt*** taken local treatment, submitted themselves to surgical operation*, and taken all aorta of doctor a stuff, without way result. The reason ot so many failures is the fact that distasrs peculiar *o the female kx ars not

lined by coos membrane is subject to catarrh. Catarrh ci one organ is exactly the same as catarrh of any other organ. What trill cun catarrh ol the head will also curs catarrh of the pelvic organs. Feruna cures these cases simply because u cures tha catarcb. Most of the women afflicted with pelvic

diseases have no idea that their trouble is due to catarrh. The majority of tbe people think that catarrh ia a disease confined to the bead alone. This is not true Catarrh is liable to attach any organ of the body; throat, bronchial tubes, lungs, stomach, kidneys and especially tbe pelvic organa. Many a woman has made this diaeurery afLr a long siege of useless treatment. She has made the diacorery that her disease is catarrh, and that Peruna can be relied upon to cure catarrh where ver located. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory resolta from the use of Peruna, writs at ones to Dr. Hartman, grring * full statement of your caae, and be will be pleased to give you his valuable advice glwtia. Address Dr. Hartmaa, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio.
