A constantly increasing number of physicians prescribe Perona iff their regular practice. It has proven its merits eo thorough­ ly that even tbe doctors have overcome their prejudice against so called patent medicines and recommend it to their patients. 4 ‘‘I Advise W om en to Use Peruna,” Says Dr. Gee. Dr. M. G. Gee is one of tbe physi­ cians who endorse Petaba. In a letter written from 51H Jones street, Ban Francisco, Cal., be says: “ There is a general objeción on the part of tha practic ing physician to ad­ voca ts patent medicines, bat Ssben any one medicine cures hundreds of people, it demonstrates its own valne and does not need the endorsement of the profes­ sion. •‘Peruna has performed so many wonderful cures In San Francisco that I am convinced that It Is a valuable remedy. I have frequently advised Its use for women, as i find It Insures regular and pataleas menstruation, cures leucorrhoe* and ovarian troubles and builds up tbe entire system. I alio consider 1« one of the flneet ca­ tarrh remedies I know of. I heartily endorse your medicine.” — M . 0.' Gee, M. D. Mrs. E. T. Gaddis, Marion, N. C., is one of Dr. Hartman’s grateful patients. She consulted him by letter, followed his directions, and is now able to say the following: "Before I commenced to take Pero­ na I could not do any hard work with­ out suffering great pain. I took Para­ na, and can say with pleasure that it has done more for me than any other medicine I have ever taken. Now I am as well as ever; I do aJi my own work and it never harts me at all. I er think Peruna is a great medicine for womankind.” — Mrs. E. T Gaddis. Women are especially liable ¿o pel­ vic catarrh, female weakness as it ie commonly called. Perona occupies a unique position in medical science. It is tbe only inter­ nal systematic catarrh remedy known to the medical profession today. Ca­ tarrh, as every one will admit, ia tbe cause of one-haf tbe diseases which afflict mankind. Catarrh and catarrhal diseases afflict one-half of tha people of the United 8 tateo. H you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of P e- ruea, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
