" 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. For Dr. Hartman's latest book on fomalo diseases, address The Pe-ru-na Medicino Company, Columbus, Ohio.
