Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1883-12-25

Two of Esculapius's most distinguished
sages, natives of Germany, and lifelong
teachers of medicine, Drs. Kraufaemann
and Schoniwin, have been devoting their
time during the past three years to COM
pairing the effect upon disease, what Drs.
Aim, Professors of the Metaphysical Col
lege of Boston, call metaphysical process,
with the effect of medicine. Numerous
thorough experiments convinced them there
was no beneficial effect in medicine except
the metaphysical influence, which every
physicians presence exerts over the patient,
and they found this influence over disease
was greater when administering sugar than
when giving the medicines usually pre-
scribed by physicians. They did, however,
notice that quinine in malarious fevers, and
iodide of potassium in certain specific dis
eases, exerted an influence over those COM
plants greater in degree than that of SUI
gar. 1t was suggested that the various
patent and proprietary medicines should be
examined and compared with sugar, in the
same way. This was done and they, too,
rapidly shared the same fate as the physi-
clans drugs, excepting those containing
quinine and iodide of potassium, which too
showed an influence over disease similar to
those drugs used by themselves, but less in
degree. The list being about exhausted
they finally came upon PERUNA; their ex-
periments with this article were most strik-
ing and in the highest degree exciting. Its
effect could in no wise be compared with
that of sugar nor with DR.. Aims metaphys-
ical process. Its effect was immediate and
positive, as was shown in the case of Miss
Maggie Martin, of Oil City, Pa, who had
been terrible sufferer from dyspepsia, liv-
er complaint, and kidney disease, sympa-
thetically affecting all the pelvic functions.
The best physicians and every thing else
had utterly failed. She was then given
PERUNA and in due time recovered perfect
ly. So with J. P. Dukehart, (superinten-
dent of the B. & o. r. R. Co. IS hotels and
now conductor) case. All the best physi-
clans and everything he could do or have
done, failed to relieve that terrific and in
describable malarial dizziness of the head.
One bottle of PERUNA cured him and also
cured his son of diphtheria. W. S. Jen-
kins, of Salem, O., was an indescribable
sufferer from nervous prostration, dyspep-
STA, and constipation, caused by sunstroke.
The physicians thought, since everything
else had failed, lie might try PERUNA. He
did so and it perfectly cured him.
But to cap the climax and prove beyond
doubt the wonderful efficacy of PERUNA,

Mrs. Eberline had been sick for years and
| finally passed into consumption. The ply
sicians who attended her, were among the
very best in the city. They did every
thing that the most gifted among them
were capable of doing and honorably told
her that nothing more could be done, that
she could not live over that night. About
midnight death began to close, the suffer-
ing of the good wife and dutiful mother,
and as the friends and family were gath
cred around the bed in tears to witness her
passage to eternity, the physi ian suddenly
entered and softly whispered, ''get PERU
MA, quickly, hurryr' 1t was brought, and
though the breathing had almost ceased,
her lips were livid, finger nails blue, the
pulse had ceased at the wrist. Oh sighed
the friends. it is too late, do not trouble
her any longer, bue>she swallowed a little,
rallied and expectorated great mouthful;
she breathed easier; she swallowed little
more and again she raised more phlegm ;
the breath improved the by-standers took
courage and they persevered with the PER
UNA until she was surely better. The pulse
returned, the circulation was re-establish-
ed, the lips and nails became natural, after
which teaspoonful of the PERUNA. every
hour was administered and she continued to
improve. In few days she sat up, in two
weeks she was the heartiest eater in the
house, and in three months she was perfect
| ly well. Who is not convinced of the I'M
equal worth of PERUNA. For affidavits
