through thirty-three years of continu-
GUS practice. His success in the treat.
ment Of this class of cases has been
! phenomenal. Indeed, since the doc
tors success in the treatment of this
class of cases has become so generally
known, it has come to be considered
little short of a crime in parents to per-
NIT their children to grow up subject
to these deformities, when they can in
/ all cases be SO completely and perma-
nently cured, if subjected to timely
| treatment.
! His success in the cure of cancer is al
SO worthy of especial note. He proba-
bly, treats
More Cases of Cancer
than any other physician in the couD-
| try. They come to him from all parts
of the country. He not only cures can
Ger, but cures it without knife, or caue-
tics, or loss Of blood, or pain! The doc
tor showed the reporter large stock of
testimonials and letters, all unsolicited,
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 i'm
measurable good be has done them that
many OF them are ready to give all they
are worth, were he willing to accept it,
as testimonial of their gratitude. 1t
is said that in q case in which he re-
moved cancer from a lady in Cleye-
land, curing her in eight or nine davs.
and, as usual, without knife, caustic or
pain, he charged her 500. Some time
after she called upon him, having trav-
eled long distance to see him. She
declared that she could not realize that
she was cured. After short chat she
left, slipping a paper into the doctors
hand as she did SO. He opened the pa
per to find $500 bill Many other cases
might be cited of even greater fees.
Another of the things which has
made the name of DIR. Hartman famous
is the crowd of people that waits 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 peo-
pie to him in such numbers as to make
it memorable day wherever he stops.
by the way, DOCTOR" queried the
reporter, during moments lull in the
rush of business, chow did you come
to choose Columbus as your home office
and headquarters" Simply replied
he, because of its convenient location
at the center of population of the coun-
try, and because, also, of it's many ad-
vantages as railroad center.
DR.. Hartman's Religious Viems.
DR.. Hartman's religious views will
interest all. We know what his char
acIer 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 impossi-
bic to say. His family, however, are
Menonites, Of Eastern Pennsylvania.
And certainly, if this church is to be
Judged by the character of these people,
it is denomination worthy of all rev.
erence and respect. For nowhere are
to be found more honest, thrifty, sub
stantial, sober-minded and Godfearing
Pennsylvania. We heard him say:
"Two things constitute a Christian.
These two things are Goodness and
Truth Not goodness and truth as they
are supposed to be practiced ordinarily
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 essen
tial, mere shell, and not the kernel.
10 be good a 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 osten-
tation, but for the satisfaction that it
brings to his own soul. He must see
nothing but beauty in truth, and moth
ing but ugl1ness and hatefulness in
falsehood."
Such is DR.. Hartmans s religion plain
ly stated by himself.
This brief sketch of the life and work
of man whose fame as benefactor
of his fellow men has probably pene-
trated to every household in the Union,
will doubtless be Of interest to our
readers.
