Mrs. Hattio La Fountain, Trcas.
Ladles o Ohio, vritc3 from Gallon, O., as follows:
"After my first child was born I suffered for several months with
bearing down pains accompanied by dreadful headaches. I was afraid
my health was ruined for life, and felt very downcast about it. One day
when a friend was visiting me she told me of Peruna and what It had
dona for her when she suffered with irregular menstruation. My husband
procured a bottle the same evening and I began to take It dally according
to directions. Before the first botte was used I was entirely well, and
you certainly have one grateful woman's blessing. I have also advised
my friends to use It."

HER GREAT FORTUNE.
A Woman Saved From Life-Long
Misery and Made Happy
and Useful.
A woman confined to the house for sev
eral jours with n chronic fcmnla derange
ment had finally given up hope of being.
cured.
She had tried physician after physician,
and rnmedy after remedy, without any per
manent improvement.
Her treatment had cost her husband, who
was a poor man, hundreds of dollars. They
had been obliged to deny themselves many
comforts of life in order to get money
enough to pay the physicians.
Tho "Woman had become weak, nervous
and wretched, and scarcely able to keep
out of tier bed. llcr children wero grow
ing tip neglected and ragged becnuso of tho
want of a mother's care. Her husband
was becoming discouraged and broken
down with overwork.
Picking up tho paper one day sho hap
pened to read an item which contained tho
news that Dr. llartmaa would tieat such
ca"!es free of charge by letter. Sho imme
diately wrote the doctor describing her case,
and giving him nil her symptoms.
She scon received a letter telling her ex
actly what to do, and What medicines and
appliances to get. She began the treat
ment (the principle remedy being Peruna)
at once, and in n few wcclis rIio was well
and strong again, able to do her own work.
This ofier of free home treatment to worn
en is still open to all who may need the scrv
ices of this eminent physician. All letters
applying for treatment will po promptly
answered, and be held strictly confidential.
Miss. Annie lloban, Post Pocahontas of
Yemassee Council of Red Men (Women's
Branch), writes from 872 Eighth Ave.,
New York:
1 Three months ago I was troubled with
backache and a troublesome heavines.3 about.
tho stomach. Sleep brought mc no rest for
it was a restless sleep. The doctor said my
nervous system was out of order but his pre
scriptions didn't seem to relievo mo. I was
told that Peruna wa3 good for building up
tho nervous system. After using it for two
months I know now that it is. Ivvant tosay
that it made a new woman of me. The tor
turing symptoms have all disappeared and 1
feel myself again. Peruna did me more good
than all the other medicines I have taken."
ANNIE HOBAN.
Miss Mamie Powell, Lako Charles, Lou
isiana, writes: ,
"I sincerely believe that Peruna is wom
an's best friend, for it has certainly been that
tome. I had had headaches, backaches and
other aches every month for a long time, but
shortly after I began taxing rcruna tni3 was
a thing of tho past, and I have good reason to
be grateful. I take a bottlo every spring and
fall now, and that keeps my health perfect,
and I certainly am more robustnovv than I
have been before and am weighing more. I
do not thrak anyone will bo disappointed in
the results obtained from tho use of Pe
runa." MISS MAMIE POWELL,
If you do notderivo prompt and satisfac
tory results from tho use of Peruna, write
at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full state
ment of your case, and ho will bo pleased
to give you his valuable advice gratis.

Origin of the Hansom.
Tho hansom was tho Invention ot
Joseph Hansom, tho architect of tho
Birmingham town hall. But the two
wheeled cab he patented In 1834 llttlo
resembles tho vehicle which now
bears his name. It had a square, ae-dan-chalr-shaped
body, hung between
two wheels nearly eight feet high.
The driver's seat was In front, as also
was tho door; the faro entered the
cab between the wheel and tho shnft.
The modern hansom was adapted
from this original by Messrs. Glllet &
Chapman. It Is a peculiarly English
vehicle, and no foreign nation has
ever compassed tho dogged courage
of the Briton who san sit calmly In
side It.
