vous depression due to catarrhal weak- ness peculiar to their sex, and suffer on

year after year, not knowing what their ailment is. Mrs. Mary Cook, of Pitts- ford, N. Y., suffered for six years before she learned of Peruna. Mrs. Cook re-

cently wrote the following letter to Dr. Hartman:

“/ was not well for six yean, paid many doctor bills, but never Improved very much. I gave up hopes of ever

recovering. “Finally, I wrote to Dr. Hartman,

and I am thankful to say that I am

now well, through his good advice and medicine. I am gaining in llesh and feel young again. I was very emaciated, but now my own children ere surprised in the great change in me when they visit me.”

Miss Annie Zlott, 72 Livingston street, Newark, N. J., took Peruna for extreme lervousness. She says: “I was very ill ind thought I would die. I had a ter- •ible headache and my head swam; I thought I would never get well; I teemed to have a great complication of liseases and bought medicines,but they lid me no good.

Finally I gave up and thought I vould wait for my end. One day 1 lappened to pick up one of your books. [ read of other women who were near

to feel better. I continued Its use until now lama well woman. I praise Peruna highly and wish other women would use It
