QUEEN OF ACTRESSES _ PRAISES PE-RU-NA. eoeo cseon In a recent letter to The Peruna Medi- cine Co., Miss Julia Marlowe of New York City has the following to say of Peruna: “I am glad to write my endorse- | ment of the great remedy, Peruna, as a nerve tonic. | do so most heartily.”’—dJulia Marlowe. Nervousness is very common among women. This condition is due to anemic nerve centers. The nerve centers are the reservoirs of nervous vitality. These centers become bloogless for want of proper nutrition. This is especially true in the spring season. Every spring a host of invalids are produced as the di- rect result of weak nerves. This could be easily obviated by the use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the root of the difficulty by correcting the furnishes nutri- digestion. Digestion ; = MISS JULIA MARLOWE. e e R oo oe | tion for the nerve centers. Properly di- | gested food furnishes these reservoirs of | life with vitality which leads to strong, | steady nerves, and thus nourishes life. Peruna is in great favor among women, especially those who have voca- tions that are trying to the nervous sys- tem. Perupa furnishes the lasting in- vigoration for the nerves that such peo- ple so much need. Thousands of testi- monials from women in all parts of the United: States are being received overy year. Such unsolicited evidence surely proves that Peruna is without an equal as a nerve tonic and a vital invigorator. Buy a bottle of Peruna }rhy.
