AMfsHHtt' !.g.?;:S M MISS JULIA MARLOWE. In a recent letter to The Perunn Medicine Co., Miss Julia Marlowe, of New York city, has the following to say of Peruna: "I rtm glad to write my endorse ment of the great remedy, Perunn, ns a nerve tonic. I do so most heart Hv." Julia Marlowe. Nervousness is very common among women. This condition Is due to ane mic nerve centers. The nerve centers are tho reservoirs of nervous vitality. These centers become bloodless for want of proper nutrition. This I. es pecially true in the spring seneon. Every spring a host of Invalids are produced as the direct result ot weak nerves This could bo easily obviated by tho use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the root of the dlillculty by correcting the digestion. Digestion furnishes nutri tion for the nerve centers. Properly dlpested food furnishes .tuse reseivolrs of life with vitality which leada to strong, steady nerves, and thus nour ishes life. Peruna is In great favor among wo men, especially thoso who have voca tions that arc trying to the nervous system. Peruns furnishes the lasting invigoratton for the nerves that such people .so much need. Thousands of testimonials from women in all parts of the United States are being received every year. Such unsolicited evidence surely proves thnt Peruna is without an (-qual ns a nerve tonic nnd vital invlgorator. Buy a tottle of Peruna today. If you do not receive all the benefits from Peruna that you expected, write to Dr. Hnrtman, Columbus, Ohio. THEATRICAL. THE MARKETS. Wall Street Review. Veu- Yoik.
