The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1888-10-31
From the Ohio State Journal.

There is in our midst at the present time
o man who is perhaps the most nhenome-
nal and marvellous healer OF the ills that
flesh is heir to that this AGE has yet seen.
This distinguished physician and surgeon
who hes established his headquarters here
il none other thad DR.. s y. Hartman, the
fame of whose miracles OF healing extends
from the Atlantic TO the Pacific. Wide and
enviable as was his fame years ago, 1t has
now grown TO such proportions that his
name has become household word
throughout the land, and is everywhere
synonymous with miraculous success in
the cure OF ills.
In order to better learn the facts desired,
and to see the man himself who has per-
formed such wonder in medicine and sur

tors offices at Nos. 2il and 2i3 South
Fourth street.

belonged TO the patients that crowded his
offices, so direct was his speech, and so to
the point, that the time was sufficient for
saying all that the modcsy OF the doctor
y would permit on the subject Of his life
md his work. What additional facts were
cleaned came from observation in the
office and talks with his associates, atien-
dants and patients. One patient in par
ticular is recalled. "Wcll," he remarked,
as he left the office, "Dr. Hartman is the

TO be the impression left upon every one
