The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1889-11-14
is something that can be said of too
few phvsicians-he always

TELLS HIS PATIENTS THE TRUTH
He never deceives them. If he see
that he can't help them at all, he
tells them so; if he sees that he can
help them, he says SO if ne sees that
he can both help and cure them, he
promises to do so, and he has never
once been known to fail to keep his
promised
DR.. Hartman, in his treatment of
all deformities, such as Club Feet,
Curvature of the Spine, Hip Disease,
Paralysis, ETC., uses process which
is original with him and which he
has perfected through thirty-three
years of continuous practice. His
success in the treatment of this class
of cases has been phenomenal. In
deed, since the doctors success in the
treatment of this class of cases has
become so generally known, it has
come to be considered little short OF
crime in parents to permit their chill
dren to grow up subject to these de-
formities, when they can in all cases
be SO completely and permanently
cured, if submitted to timely treat
ment.
His success in the cure OF cancer is ,
also worthy of especial note. He
probably treats
MORE CASES OF CANCER
than, any other physician u
the country. They come NJ
him from all parts of the
country. He not only cures cancer,
but cures it without knife, or caustics,
or loss of blood, or pain! The doctor
showed the reporter large sack OF
testimonials and letters, all unso-
licited, and all expressing gratitude
for the.cures effected by the doctor.
DR.. Hartman probably receives the
LARGEST VOLUNTARY FEES
of any physician in the United States.
So grateful are his patients for the inn
measurable good lie has done them
that many of them are ready to give
all they are worth, were he willing to
accept it, as a testimonial of their
gratitude. tbs said that in a case in
which he removed cancer from. a
lady in Cleveland, curing her in eight
or nine days, and as usual, without
knife, caustic or pain, he charged her
500. Some time after she called
upon him, having travelled a long
distance to see him. She declared
that she could not realize that
she was cured. After short
chat she left, slipping paper in
the doctors hand as she did so. He
opened the paper to find a $500 bill!
Many other cases might be cited OF
even greater fees.
Another of the things which has
made the name of DR.. Hartman faS
nous is the crowds of people that wait
upon him wherever he happens to be.
While he is at his home office, time
for his meals is scarcely his own.
When he starts out on one of his
tours crowds of people meet him at
each point. There seems to
be some magnetic influence
about the doctor which draws the
people to him in such members as to
make it memorable day wherever he
stops.
"By the way, DOCTOR" queried the
reporter, during a moments lull in the
rush of business, chow did you come
to choose Columbus as YOU home
office and headquarters" Simply"
replied he, "because of its convenient
location at the center of population of
the country, and because, also, of its
many advantages as a railroad center.
DIR. HARTMAN S RELIGIOUS VIEWS.
DR.. Hartman's religious views will
interest all. We know what his char
acter is, and the character of the work
he is doing, and we naturally expect to
find behind it and animating it all an
equally pure, simple and beautiful re-
ligion. Nor shall we be disappointed.
What particular faith or creed he holds,
or whether he holds any,it is impossible
to say. His family, however are Menon-
ties of Eastern Pennsylvania. And GER
tainly, if this church is to be judged
by the character of these people, it is
a denomination worthy of all rev.
erence and respect. For nowhere are
to be found more honest, thrifty, sub
stantial, sober-minded and God-fear-
ing people than the Menonites Of
Eastern Pennsylvania. We heard
him say
1.-TWO things constitute a Christian.
These two things are Goodness and
Truth. Not goodness and truth as
they are supposed to be practiced Or
dinarily by church members, but as
they are in fact. Truth married to
Goodness-this is the essence OF
Christianity. All else in religion is
external, and not essential,
mere shell, and not the kernel.
To be good man must do good. Nor
must he do good to be seen of men,
and to have his name spread abroad.
He must do good because it is right
to do good, because he loves to do it,
because of the beauty and the Joy the
act will bring to his heart. And he
must be truthful in the same way, not
for ostentation, but for the satisfac-
ton that it brings to his own soul.
He must see nothing but beauty in
