| OF diseases that La-cu-pi-a did not cure.
These compounds are perfectly safe for any
one to use, as neither contains any mineral
mense private practice long ago made it i'm
possible for me to attend to their manufac-
ture, the right of which sold, but have
continued to use and recommend them for
dies that in any particular approaches their
value in the treatment of disease. The
pamphlet entitled the ''Ills of Life" that is
kept by all druggists who sell the medicines,
was originally published by me, and was in
tended for patients whom could not per-
sonally VISIT to advise and instruct them in
the use of the remedies. These three RENE
dies are everywhere recognized as, par ex-
| celence, the three family medicines, and
| such has come to be the demand for them
that am able to find them in every drug
store of the cities wherever l visit. Not
| only from theOretic grounds are Pe-ru-na,
| Man-a-lin and La-cu-pi-a to be considered
cdde mec,m of medication, but the testi-
monies of thousands justify it as a practical
fact.
Take, for instance, q single case from the
extensive list of similar cases in my diary
Of cases treated, as an example of the vir-
| tues of Pe-ru-na Mrs. Il. S. Eberlein (then
of Pittsburg, Pa, now of Keokuk, Iowa.,
during the year 1882, began to develope the
usual symptoms of consumption. QCOugh
| was one of the first symptoms, which grad
ually grew worse in spite of all treatment.
The sputa, at first slight, became abundant
| and purulsnt, occasionally streaked with
| blood. A rapid loss of flesh and tagging
appetite filled her relatives with forebodings.
The hectic flush, night sweats, and suppress
sion of the menses, left no doubt as to the
nature of her disease. From the first ply
sicians had been employed. Cough medi-
cines, tonics, cOd-liver oil and stimulants
were restored to by her physicians without
avail. The first physician employed was
DIR. Williams, Penn avenue, Pittsburg; DR..
Clifford, Of Allegheny City, was called next,
and then Dr. Riggs, of Pittsburg. During
this history of conflict with this terrible dis
ease frequent consultations were held but
nothing checked the steady progress of her
malady. Not a doubt had existed in the
minds of her physicians or friends as to the
nature of her disease, nor as to its fatal
termination. The repeated examinations of
her lungs indicated the rapid strides with
which she was nearing the end. Her ply
sicians were honOred members Of thelmedi-
cal fraternity, i'm who Mrs. Eberlein's hus-
band and family had perfect confidence.
And the sorrow with which they listened to
their decision that they had exhausted
everything known to them in vain for the
relief of the wife and mother of the afflicted
household can be better imagined than de-
scribed. AS is common to consumptive
patients, Mrs. Eberlein continued hopeful
long after her attendants believed her to be
beyond cure. l was practicing at the time
: in Pittsburg and fancy that would be
able to relieve her was, during her Illness
repeatedly expressed by Mrs. Eberlein, but
J 1t was regarded as the merest whim; and, al
they were employing the best medical talent
the city afforded, no attention was paid t.
it. At last she became so weak and ENACT

hand to lift her during the terrible coughing
