UNDER data of January 10, 189T, Dr. Hartman received the following letter: "My wife had been suffering from a complication of diseases for the past 88 years. "Her oase had baffled the skill of some of the most noted physicians. One of her worst troubles was chronio constipation of several years' Btanding. "She also was passing through that most critical period in the life of a woman change of life.

In June, 1885, 1 wrote to you about her case. You advised a course of Peruna and Manaltn, which we at once commenced, and have to say it completely cured her. She firmly believes that she would have been dead only for these wonderful remedies. "About the same time I wrote you about my own case of catarrh, which had been of 25 years' standing. At times I was almost past going.

I commonced to use Peruna according to your instructions and continued its use for about a year, and it has completely cured me. "Your remedies do alt that you claim tor them, and even more. Catarrh cannot exist where Peruna is taken according to directions. Success to you and your remedies. John O.

Atkinson. Laundry in a letter aaieu ubuub- aitou, Atkinson says, after live years' experience with Peruna: "1 will ever continue to sptfk good word for Peruna. In my roands as a traveling man I am a walking advertisement for Peruna and hare Induced many people during the past year to use Peruna with the moat satisfactory results, i am still cured of catarrh." John O. Atkinson, Box 272, Independence, Mo. When old age comes on, catarrhal dla eases come also.

Systemic catarrh is almost universal In old people. This explains why Peruna has become so indispensabla to old people. Peruna Is their safe-guard. Peruna Is the only remedy yet devised that meets these case exactly. Suoa cases cannot be treated locally; nothing but an effective systemic remedy could cure them.

This is exactly whatt Peruna is. If you do not receive prompt and satisfactory results from the U30 of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, givinpr a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
