much sickness and pain says
Miss Alma Pratt if they will
only nave faith in the use of
Lydia E Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound
Judging from the letters Ehe fa
receiving1 from so many young- girls
Mrs Pinkhatn believes that our girls
are often pushed altogether too near
the limit of their endurance now
adays in our public schools and semin
aries
Nothing1 is allowed to interfere -with
Btudies the girl must be pushed to the
front and graduated with honor often
physical collapse follows and it takes
years to recover the lost vitality
often it is never recovered Miss Pratt
cays
Dear Mns Pixkham I feel it
my duty to tell all voung women how
much Xiydia E Pinlclmms -wonderful
Vegetable Compound has
done for me I -was completely run
down unable to attend school and did
not care for any kind of society but
now I feel like a new person and have
gained seven pounds of flesh in three
months
I recommend it to all young
women who suffer from female weak

PURE BLOOD
Blood Impurities of Springtime
Cause Prevention
and Cure
Dr Hartmans medical lectures are
eagerly scanned by many thousand
readers
One of the most timely and interest
ing lectures he ever delivered was his
recent lecture on the blood impurities
of spring
The doctor said in substance that
every spring the blood is loaded with
tho effete accumulations of winter de
ranging the digestion producing slug
gishness of the liver overtaxing the
kidneys interfering with tho action of
the bowels and the proper circulation
of the blood
This condition of things produces
what is popularly known as spring
fever spring malaria nervous exhaus
tion that tired feeling blood thicken
ing and many other names
Sometimes the victim is bilious dys
peptic and constipated sometimes he
is weak nervous and depressed and
again he may have eruptions spell
ings and other blood humors Which
ever it is the cause is the same ef
fete accumulations in the blood
Nothing is more certain within tho
whole range of medical science than
that a course of Peruna in early spring
time will perfectly and effectually pre
vent or cure this almost universal af
fection
Everybody feels it in some degree
A great majority are disturbed con
siderably while a large per cent of tho
human family are made very misera
ble by this condition every spring
Peruna will prevent it if taken in
time
Peruna will cure it if taken as di
rected
Peruna is the ideal spring medicino
of the medical profession
If you do not derive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Pe
runa write at once to Dr Hart
man giving a full statement of your
case and he will be pleased to givo
you his valuable advice gratis
