dominsl organs which have decided to
include in one lecture. not because there
is, strictly speaking. any similarity IN
the nature of them, but because their
chief symptom is violent pain anu
cramps, which necessitate nearly the
same treatment. The three ailments re-
ferred to are cholera morbus, bilious
collie and renal collie.
Cholera morbus is usually quite alarm
ing in the suddenness and severity OF It's
onset, as we'll as the violence of all the
attending symptoms. Il IS prevalent i'll
warm countries aud in temperate Gil
mates during the summer months.
Without any warning the person is taken
with vomiting and purgIng, intense grip
ing, and spasms in the arms ana legs.
The yomited matter Is mostly bilious,
| and the passages from the bowels are OF
the same kind. Great anxiety ana de-
| pression soon follows the attack unless
| promptly checked by the proper treat
| ment, and the symptoms very quickly
| become alarming TO patient and attend
| ants.
| TREATMENT.
AS soon as possible after the hrst
symptom of the attack wineglassful OF
| Pe-ru-ua should be taken. If it is
| yomited up INN ediately 1t should be re-
peated at once, and continue TO repeat
| this dose until the stomach no longer re-
iects It. The first dose that is kept down
| should be followed by another in fifteen
| minutes until the pain is positively
| checked when the Pe-ru-na should be
| continued in tablespoonful doses every
| two hours until entirely well. AT the same
! time that the Pe-ru-Da Is being given by
mouth an injection should be prepared
| consisting of one quart OF warm water
and two tablespoonfuls of Pe-ru-na,
| which should be injected into the rertum
as directed on page Is of the ellis OF
| Life This should be repeated every
| half hour until the severity OF the attack
| is checked. This treatment will promptly
| cure any case of cholera morbus, aud
the attendants should lay aside every
fear or doubt as to the recovery of the
patient. and go quietly about the de-
| tails as described above, when perfect
cure may be confidently expected with
out fail.
Here is a letter from one who has
tested the virtue OF Pe-ru-na in cholera
morbus, hich htly illustrates the man
agement of q case. 1t is from Fort
Wayne, Ind , and reads as follows:
CDR. HartmAn-Dear Sir: On May 81
was suddenly attacked by cholera
morbus IN the early part of the night.
[ had already gone to bed and was per-
fectiy quiet and feeling usually we'll,
when l was seized with an awful gripping
pain in my abdomen, and cramps, which
| at once put me in such agony that
could not suppress loud groans. The
noise { made awoke q neighDorlng
sleeper, who Immediately cana to my
relief. asked him to go for doctor at
once, for it seemed to me as if / should
die if did not have help very shortly.
He said there was no use to send for
hysician ,as it was evident had cholera
morbus, and he had DR.. Hartman 8
ILLS of Life, which was all the physi-
clan that any one needed. BE got the
book and turned to page IS and reads
take q wineglassiul every fifteen mill
utes, and he quickly produced the Pc
ru-na and gave me the dose. l had
no sooner swallowed 1t than I vomited
| il up, and the second was Immediately
repeated, which was also Vomited,
but the third time 1t stayed. He took
the book and read again: Inject one
quart Of warm water with two table,
spoonfuls of Pe-ru-na into the bowels,
and as my suffering was 80 severe, he
fixed double the quantity and injected 1t
as quickly as possible. In fifteen min
utss took another wineglassful Of Pc
ru-na, and began TO feel entirely re-
lieved from the pain and other symp-
toms. The cure seemed to me almost
like magic, for in two hours l was en-
tireIy free from pain, and, with the ex-
eeption of the weakness produced from
INV indescribable suffering, 1 was as we'll
as ever in my life. 1 have perfect conf
dence in the efficacy of Pe-ru-na to cure
such cases, and am positive If every one
could know this remedy cholera morbus
would be robbed of nearly all Its terrors.
1 continued to take tablespoonful four
times a day for q few days, which
brought back my vigor and health and
Cured me of q dyspepsical difficulty
, which had troubled me for some time. -
The disease known as bilious colo is
caused by the passage OF gall stones
(biliary cslculD through the bile duct.
These stones (cslculD are formed in the
gall bladder from the bile, and when
they are of small size their passage from
the gall bladder through the bile duct TO
the duodenum is not noticed, but when
they are as large as pea or tlbert, or
walnut even, their passage through this
duct ia accompanied by great pain.
: The symptoms are a sharp, tearing
pain, beginning In the right side, but
soon extending across the body and to
the right chest and arm, quickly fol-
lowed by vomiting and often jaundice.
This, il not stopped, may last from an
hour to three or four days. The pain
: throughout is terrific causing great pros
: tration. If the stone passes safely
through the duct the patient will re-
cover if properly treated, but If it is too
: long delayed in the duct inflammation and
| perforatiou viii ensue, when recovery
is very doubtful.
: To thoroughly relax the whole system
and yet to sustain the hearts action IN
til the stone passes through the duct, ID
all that can be done after the attack sets
in. Pe-ru-ns in large and repeated
doses, is by far the best remedy in these
cases have ever used. 1t should be
given in wineglassful doses every hall
hour until relief Is obtained, when 9
tablespoonful every three hours for a
= day or two will complete the cure. Nc
' opium or other narcotic will be needed II
d, this treatment is strictly followed. and 6
cure il absolutely certain. Bilious peo.
: pie are most subject to this trouble. and
