A Remarkable Man.

TIERS OF THE GREATEST PHYSICIAN
AND MOST SKILLED SURGEON OF THE
AGE - MARVELLOUS METHODS AND
CUREs-A CHAPTEfs OF AMAZING AND
INSTRUCTIVE FACTS.
There Is In our midst at the present time
\ man who Is perhaps the most phenomenal
and marvellous healer of the Ills that flesh Is
heir to that this age has yet seen. This
distinguished physician and surgeon who
has established his headquarters here is
none other than DIR. s. b. 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 q household word through
out the land, and Is everywhere synony-
nous 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 wonders In medicine and sur
gerry, Journal reporter called at the DOC
tors Offices at Nos. 241 and 24S South Fourth
street. y
The reporter found the Doctor In, and,
although he had but a few minutes to spare
for an interview, and those few minutes had

the patients who crowded his offices, so d.
rect was his speech and 30 to the point that
the time was sufficient for saying all that
the modesty of the Doctor would permit on
the subject of his life and his work. What
additional facts were CLEANED came from
observation In the Office and from talks with
his associates, attendants and patients.
One patient in particular is recalled.
"Well," he remarked, as he left the Office,

impression left upon every one who calls
upon the Doctor. He inspires confidence
from the first. His examination. diagnosis
and treatment represent the experience of
hundred thousand people similarly afflicted.
II Is this confidence, inspired by the Doctors
experience, coupled with the can
dor, the simplicity, and the kindness Of his
that is, we believe, the great
secret Of that extraordinary success that has
ever attended his treatment and his obser-
vations.
As TO the main facts Of
DIR. HARTMAN's LIFE,
they can be briefly stated. Born in Penn
sylvania, he came to Ohio when fifteen
years Of age. After taking literary course
1t the " Farmers College," near Cincinnati,
he studied medicine under the distinguished
Dr.. Shackleford, of Midway, and. after
laking course Of lectures at the University
Medical College of Cleveland, he practiced
medicine most successfully at Tippecanoe.
