CEDARTOWN STANDARD.
VOLUME 14.
CEDARTOWN, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1900.
NUMBER 85.
BOTH PRONOUNCED INCURABLE.
Pe-ru-na Made Them Strong and Happy.
Women everywhere aro writing Dr.
Hartman concerning the ailments pecu
liar to thoir sex. The two following
letters, published by the consent of the
writers are specimens. No wonder those
ladies are enthusiastic. They had been
sick a long time. Their euro was un
expected. The first one, Mrs. King, of
North Carolina, writes: “ I was afilioted
for twenty yoars and did not know what
ailed me. My husband employed three
doctors, but they did me no good. I took
different kinds of mcdicino, all to no
effect. In 1805 a friend told mo I had
catarrh. I had a bad cough and running
at the nose all the time. I was advised
to try Pe-ru-na and I took four bottles.
I am now well of the catarrh. I believe
Pe-ru-na saved my life. The doctors
and all others failed. I can Yecommend
your Pe-ru-na to all my friends. It is
the best medlcino in the world. You
may use my name whenever yoc
please.”—Mrs. M. M. King,
Mary F. Bartholomew, of St. Franols*
vllle, Ill., says : 41 About twelve years age
I was afllicted with female trouble (pel*
vie catarrh.) I doctored with several
skillful physicians, but kept getting
worso until I became bedfast. I re
mained in this condition about two
years, under the attendance of four
physician^.
"I concluded I would write Dr. Hart
man for advice. I owe my life to Dr.
Hartman and Pe-ru-na. My friends and
neighbors never expected to set mo woll
again. I am now able to assist with my
household duties. 1 think my recovery
is a surprise to
every one who
knew me. My
appotito was so
poor I could eat
scarcely any
thing ; but I can
oat any and*
everything now
without pain. I
cannot recom
mend your medi
cines enough.”
Catarrh is the
bane of womankind. Nearly ovory cose
of so called female oomplalnt is due to
catarrh of the pelvic organs. A woman
free from catarrh is generally a well
woman. Catarrh of the polvic organs
makes mo.'e women miserable than all
other diseases combined.

fomalo diseases, address The Pe-ru-na
Medicino Company, Columbus, Ohio.
