His success in the cure OF cancer is

They come to him from all parts of the
country. He not only cures cancer,

showed the reporter a large stock of
testimonials and letters, all unsolicited,
and all expressing gratitude for the
cures effected by the doctor.
DIR. Hartman probably receives the

So grateful are his patients for the i'm

are worth, were he willing TO accept it.
as a testimonial of their gratitude. II
is said that in case in which he re-
moved cancer from a lady in Cleve-
land, curing her in eight or nine days.
and, as usual, without knife, caustic or
pain, he charged her 800. Some time
after she called upon him, having tray

declared that she could not realize that
she was cured After a short chat she
left, slipping paper into 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 made the
name of DIR. Hartman famous is the
crowd of people that waits upon him
wherever he happens to be. While he
is ut his home office, time for 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 DIR. which draws the people to him
in such numbers as to make IL a me- NOR
able 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 the population of the
country, and because, also, OF its many
advantages as a railroad center.
DR.. Hartman'S Religious Ftews.
DIR. Hartman's religious views will
interest all. We know what his char
acter is, and the character of the work
ne 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
10 say. His family however, are Men
onites, Of Eastern Pennsylvania, And
certainly, if this church is to be judged
by the character of these people, it is a
denomination worthy of all reverence
and respect. For nowhere are TO be
found more honest, thrifty, substantial,
sober-minded and God-fearing people
than the 'Menonites of Eastern Pennsyl-
vania. Ne 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, q. 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 the heart. And he must be
truthful in the same way, not foT Osten-
tation, but for the satisfaction il brings
to his own soul. He must see nothing
but beauty in Truth, and nothing but
ugliness and hateful ness in a falsehood. -
Such is DR.. Hartman's religion plain
ly stated 0y himself.
This brief sketch of the life and work
OF man, whose fame as a benefactOr
Of his fellow men has probably pene-
trated TO every household in the Union,
will -doubtless be of interest TO our
readers.
