He receives many letters from all parts of tho country relating to subjeots of vital Interest to womankind. Of the vast multitude of women Dr. Hartman treats annually, only a small per cent, of them consider It necessary to write to" the Doctor at all. Whilo it Is not affirmed that Pernna will relieve every ease of this kind, It is certainly the part of wisdom for every woman so afflicted to give Peruna a fair trial. Mrs. Joseph Lacelle, 324 Bronson St. r , Ottawa,East,Ontario, Canada, writes: “I suffered with backache and head ache for over nine months and nothing relieved mo until I took Peruna. This - medicine Is by far bolter than any other medicine for these troubles. A few bot tles relieved me qt my miserable, half- dead, balf-allvo condition, •7 am now. la good health, have neither aclio nor pain, nor tyivo I had any for the past year. If every suffer ing woman-would tako Peruna, they would soon know Its valna and never-' be without it.” Mrs. M. Klincr, 2618 E. 36th St., S. E., Cleveland, Ohio, writes: “I am enjoying good health since tak ing your medicine. I had Buffered for a good many years previous to talcing Pernna, and ever since 1 can say that / do not know what headache or neuralgia Is. I can most assuredly say that any body afflicted tylth catarrh in any form can be cured by taking Peruna.” GEORGIA IS RIGH-BUT IT SHOWS ON PAPER MR1 FELDER FOR MAYOR IS INTO THE RAGE Will Support All Interests of the City. j ■ - — ♦ Hie formal announcement of Capt.
