Ape rfe c 11 y hetlthy woman is a rare sight. Such a woman is always beautiful. II e all h clear cons \ plexion, clear * eye, steady nerve ' elastic step, and

graceful movements. A healthy waman is a woman with healthy mucous membranes. The mucous membranes line the whole body, every organ in the body. The slightest catarrh of one of these membranes produces languor, sallow skin, listless eyes and weakening discharges. Mrs. Alvina Hanenkrat, Bibb Falls, Wis., in a recent letter to Dr. Hartman, savs' •JI was troubled for ten years with chronic catarrh. I used Fe-ru-na for about eight months, and I musi say that lam perfectly cured of the disease. It will be ten years next June since I was cured, and I have not been troubled with any of my old symntoms.” Dr. Hartman ’s latest book on chronic catarrh will be sent free to any address for a short time by Tbe Pe ru-na Drug M’f’g Co., Columbus, O.
