AUSTIN WEEKLY STATESMAN
DR. HARTMAN'S LECTURE
ESPECIALLY REPORTED
GENTLEMEN Having finished the
diseases of the respiratory organs at
our last lecture I had proposed to take
up the catarrhal diseases of the ali-
mentary canal commencing with ea-
turrh of the Htomach; but as it is the
wish of the class communicated to me
by Dr. Mizer that I talk more specific-
ally about the remedy Pe-ru-na I have
concluded to deviate from my course of
lectures in this particular. Of course
in a single lecture I can tell you but
little of what might be told about this
fumniiH remedy.
Pe-ru-na is entirely composed of veg- j
etable ingredients each one having a
specific influence upon the mucous
membranes of the organs of the body.
During the winter the respiratory or-
gans become diseased; during the sum-
mer the digestive organs are in con-
stant danger. Hence during warm
weather we have to contend against
catarrh and inflammation of the stom-
ach bowels rectum and bladder. These
troubles frequently assume the form of
cholera morbus summer complaint
cholera infantum colic diarrhoea dys
entery and chills and fever.
Just as Pe-ru-na is a specific for
chronic catarrh and Inflammation of
the nostrils bronchial tubes and lungs
so it Is an absolute specific for catarrhal
diseases of summer. I have now juri
passed my forty-second year in the
active practice of medicine and I can
say what few other physicians can say
that is: I have never in all these forty-
two vears lost a single case of dysen
tery diarrhoea cholera morbus sum-
mer complaint cholera infantum In
flammation of the stomach uoweis or
hiadder. or BriKht's Disease;1 and the
only medicines I ever used in these
diseases were fe-ru-na anu.Man-u-nu.
hold in my hand a publication tne
first oditlnn of which I wrote twenty-
seven years ago entitled "The Ills of
Life." It has now reacnea us eievenm
Pditlnn. In this little book you can read
not only the medical treatment for all
catarrhal diseases but also the adjuncts
to that treatment In the way of injec-
tions hot and cold water applications
diet drink and clothing to be worn
after recovery. I have received any
number of letters from physicians de-
einrlne that they never use any treat
ment except that given in my oook
"The Ills of Life." and that their sue
cess in catarrhal diseases has been in
finitely greater than the old treatment
recommended in medical books and lec
tures in medical colleges. You se tnen
that while Pe-ru-na Is indispensable
for the catarrhal diseases of winter It
is even more indispensable in diseases
of spring summer and fall. I tell you
gentlemen no death will occur in dis-
eases of summer if Pe-ru-na Is taken as
directed in this book. "The Ills oi
Life."
Before citing some cases to illustrate
what I have said. I may say notwith
standing the great claims rtade for
other preparations professional or do
mestic there Is no medicine orcomom-
ation of medicines that can in the least
degree compare with Pe-ru-na Man-a-
lln and La-cu-pi-a in summer aiseases.
Pe-ru-na ia the ne plus ultra In all mu
cous diseases and in them no otner
medicine ii ever needed not even in
the worst complications if rationally
used as directed. And so with Man-a-lin
in diseases of the liver and other
glands constipation etc. It meets
every requirement. In all blood dis-
eases I care not what their nature-
syphilis or rheumatism or stubborn
skin disease La-cu-pi-a will cure
every case.
With these three remedies gentle-
men vou can practice in every section
of everv country and practice with in
finitely greater success than any otner
physician whether alophthic home-
opathis or eclectic. I know of many
families who in twenty-five years have
never called a physician except in
cases oi connnemeni or in nurgicai
cases. Now for the letters:

I was afflicted with a case of chronic catarrh of twenty years' standi. jg. I
had been partially deaf on the left side for twelve years. Six months ago I had

lie breathing is perfectly fee and easy
an I I can not too highly recommend your remedies Pe-jru-na and Man-a-l.n.
The catarrh does not. in the slightest degree see n me now
Mr. John F. Haas Seneca Falls N.Y.
writes: "I can thank Pe-ru-na for cur-
ing me oi catarrh of the stomach with
which I suffered for a long time. I
was continually growing worse. I took
many medicines but none of them
helped me until I began taking Pe-ru-na
and Man-a-lin."

could not sleep nights and was troubled
with constipation. The physicians we
consulted said It was dyspepsia. She
could get no relief until she began to
take Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin. Before
she had taken half a bottle of each she
was conscious of a marked change.
She began to sleep at night appetite
came back bowels were regular and
now after taking five bottles she is en-
tirely well.. She looks like a new wom-
an." Mrs. Lucy Waldie Otsego Lake
Mich. writes: "For three years I suf
fered with catarrhal dyspepsia. My
mouth was so sore I could scarcely eat.
I wrote to you for advice and you tola
me to take Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin. I
at once got some and began to tane u.
I am now perfectly well ana nave no
signs of my old trouble."
Alex Carter. Van Buren. Mo. writes:
"I have been troubled with dyspepsia
and indigestion since 1879. The best
physicians in the country couui ao me
no good. I visited many hospitals and
took many different kinds of medicines
with no relief. I determined to try
Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin and now that
I have taken two bottles of Pe-ru-na
and four of Man-a-lin I feel like a new
man.. None of my friends beiievea
that I would eet well."
Mrs. Lulu Giddle. Storm Lake lowa
writes: "I was taken with catarrn oi
the stomach two years ago. I grew
worse u nder the doctor's treatment
was so low that I could not retain food
on my stomach at all. I was advised
to try Pe-ru-na. I can not praise it
enoeht for saving my lire.
Mrs. S. E. Robbins White Wright
Texas writes: "Eight years ago my
liver and stomach began to give me
trouble. Five years ago I took jaundice
and gall-stone. It seems to me tnat i
was diseased from head to foot. Foi
weeks I could not sit up and I was yel-
low as an orange. When I heard of
Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin I had eaten
nnthlne for several days and was under
the doctor's treatment. I quit taking
his medicine and began taking Pe-ru-na
and Man-a-lin. I gained twenty-five
pounds and can now eat anything I
want to without inconvenience. My
skin is perfectly clear; no sign of
laundlce."
Ed. Wormack Ledbetter Texas
writes: "For bowel troubles Pe-ru-na
is unequaled by anything in my expe-
rience. I owe my life to Pe-ru-na for
several times I have been given up by
the doctors."
T. E. Miller. Grand Prairie Texas
writes: "I had chronic diarrhoea for
fifteen vears. was very nervous tried
manv medicines and doctors in vain
At last Pe-ru-na was recommended to
me. It relieved me at once and at the
present time I am perfectly well and
feel better than 1 have tor years.
John Edgarton 1030 Third avenue

C. K. Cosby Vale Mills Tenn. writes
"Five years ago I contracted a severe
case of kidney trouble and constipa
tion. I was expected to die by all my
friends: but. to the surprise of all

a-lin. You are a benefactor to man

J. Brake. Petrolea Ontario Canada

brought me so low the doctor said that
he could do nothing more ror me. l ue

Dhysician said I could live but a few

recommending them to all afflicted as
1 was."
Samuel Sanders Blythedale. Mo.

"Moreover it must not ue iorgouen
that this guerilla warfare needs not any
irreat militnrv cenius to conduct it. The
only object in view is to keep the country
in such a conaition or unrest as to mane
inmerative the nresence of a large army
of occupation. Small parties of fifty or
100 men scattered tnrougnout tne island
can do this more effectively than a con
centrated force of 20000 or oUOOO men
on which the Spanish commander in chief
could at once mass greater numners

people ignorant of the technicalities they
nave been ordered not to leave their

where no means of subsistence exists is
inexcusable. To devastate the island on
the ground that by so doing all supplies
would be cut off from the enemy indi-
cates the dense ignornnce under which
the Spanish general is laboring. The
rebels can get food to live on for another
ten years and the roaming bands of cat
tle still on the island will supply the in
surgents for a couple of years at least
As for foreigners residing on the island
they have but one feeling as to Weyler's
methods of conducting military opera
tions. Uiey consider vveyler and las
actions as worse than those carried on
in the Middle Ages far more severe than
the means employed by the holy mqiii.
sition to attain its ends.
"The object of Weyler's present policy
is to exterminate the Cuban people a
people of some l.zOO.UOU whites and ne
groes or mixed blood. To kill every man
of the country is one of m-yler s meth
ods and to drive the women and children
into the towns to die of hunger is un
other.
