| HEADACHE, BACKACHE, DIZZINESS (PE-RU-NA CURES! PELVIC CATARRH.) “I am perfectly well,” says Mrs, Martin, of Brooklyn, “Pe-ruena cured me,” Mrs. Anna Martin, 47 Hoyt street, Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: “Peruna did so much for me that I feel it my duty to recommend it to others who may be similarly afflicted. About a year ago my health was com» pletely broken down, had backache dizziness and irregularities, and life seemed dark indeed. We had used Peruna in our home as a tonic and for colds and catarrh and I decided to try it for my trouble. In less than three months I became regular, my pains had entirely disappeared, and | am now pertectly well.’’---Mrs. Anna Martin. Miss Marie Johnson,11 Columbia, East, Detroit, Mich., is Worthy Vice Templar in Hope Lodge No. 6, Independent Order Good Templars. Miss Johnson, as so many other women also have done, found in Peruna a specific for a severe case of female weakness. She writes: “T want to do what I can to let the whole world know what a grand medi- cine Perunais. For eleven years I suf- fered with female troubles and compli- cations arising therefrom. Doctors failed to cure me, and I despaired of be- ing helped. Peruna cured me in three short months. I can hardly believe it myself, but it is a blessed fact. I am perfectly well now, and have not had an ache or pain for months. I want my suffering sisters to know what Peruna has done for me. {iss Marie Johnson, Miss Ruth Emerson, 72 Syeamore St., Buffalo, N. Y., writes: ‘‘I suffered for two years with irregular and painful menstruation; and Peruna cured me within six weeks. I cannot tell you how gratefull feel.

Itis no longer a question as towhether Peruna can be relied on to cure all such cases. During the many yearsin which Peruna has been put to test in all forms and stages of acute and chroniccatarrh no one year has put this remedy to greater test than the past year. Peruna is the acknowledged catarrh remedy of the age. Dr. Hartman, the compounder of Peruna, has written a book on the phases of catarrh peculiar to women, entitled, ‘‘Health and Beauty.” It will be sent free to any address by The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O. If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased’to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.
