’ Woman’s Mission. v
Successful competition in any field depends on physical health.
I < asked.
I ' BjW Shall women vote? Shall they practice law?
’*« ! Shall they compete with men in every field?
jjr Whatever woman’s mission may finally be de-
dared to be, it is certain that something
V* I " must be done for her physical health.
! 1 Ignorance, superstition and mystery sur-
rou nd woman’s delicate organism. Heroic
* z - ’’ efforts to endure pain is part of woman’s
—/t] I11 i creed. Many women’s lives are a constant
‘I struggle with lassitude: many are violently
Rw “'lwithout apparent cause, and few indeed
Jg are in normal health.
;n 11 C"/""* This is all wrong and might be different
I 'll ‘ w-omen would follow Dr. Hartman's ad-
II I viee. Perhaps the most practical psjnted
cficl '4 , xffflB 1 . talk to women to be found anywhere is in
—’/I lit I Imlw ■- ® r ‘ Hndman’s book called “Health and
'-/ill I I JwL I*' Beauty,” which the Pe-ru-na Medicine Co.,
-/Mil m I W™* I Columbus, 0., will mail free to women
II U IlMuWvxvawKl on ly- Ik * s certain that Dr. Hartman's
'flllllllllH I filliUMwWSaeA Pe-ru-na has proved a perfect boon for
■llf i ! i» M 3 • : ‘reiUW wjL' women's diseases of the pelvic organs. It
treats them scientifically and cures them
ill!!Iki "* * -permanently. All druggists sell it.
/ /11 PllWli 11 1 “I received your book and commenced
’ —yfvvSc— the use of your medicine at once,” writes
Mrs. H. D. Amoss of Greensboro, Ga., to
— Dr. Hartman. “I took five bottles of
Pe-ru-na and two of Man-a-lin. I feel like a new woman. When I commenced
taking Pe-ru-na I could hardly walk across my room; now I am doing my own
work and can walk to church. I shall never cease to thank you for prescrib
ing for me. I had been under the treatment of two doctors but never received
any benefit until I commenced taking your medicine. I wish every woman
who was suffering as I was would send for one of your books. May God bless
you and spare you many years to relieve women who are suffering as I was.”
Fifty thousand women will be counselled and prescribed for this year free of
charge by Dr. Hartman, president of the Surgical Hotel, Columbus, O. All
women suffering from any disease of the mucous membrane, or any of the
peculiar ills of women, may write to him and the letters will reoeive his
personal attention.®Write for special question blank lor women. ®

car is supplied with a ladies’ dressing room and a gentlemen’s
smoker. You will not have to bother about changing cars, for these
cars run through from Memphis and Cairo to Texas without change.

your ticket will cost, what train to take so as to make the best time
and connections, and anything else we can that will help make
your trip a comfortable one. An interesting little booklet, ATRIP
