Peruna has cured thousands of cases
of female weakness. As a. rule , how-
ever , before Pm'una is resorted to sev-
eral other remedies have been ' tried in
vain. A great many of the patients
have talon local treatment , submitted
themselves to surgical operations , and
taken all sorts of dootor's stuff , with-
out any result.
The reason of so many failures is the
fact that diseases peculiar to the female

vie diseases have no idea that their
trouble is due to catarrh. The majority -
of the people think that , catarrh is 0.
disease confined to th" head alone.
This is not true. Catarrh is liable to
attack any organ of the body ; throat ,
bronchial tubes , lungs , stomach , kid-
neys and especially the pelvic organs.
Many a woman has made this discov-
cry after n. long siege of useless treat-
ment. She has made the discovery that
her disease is catarrh , and that Peruna
can be relied upon to cure catarrh
wherever located.
If you do not derive prompt and satis-
factory results from the use of Peruna ,
write at once to Dr. TIn.rtman , giving
a full statement of your case , and he
will be pleased to give you his valuable
advice gratis
