iting his extensive list of patients in the
state of Texas and Indian Territory, has
returned to his home Office at Columbu },
Ohio. The doctor is IN the best OF
health and spirits, and found hearty
greeting awaiting him by his many
friends and professional associates. A
trip of six months continuous travel, ,
giving himself at each stop barely time
to attend to the patients who, by pre-
vious appointment, met him along the
line of his route, has not seemed to d.
minish the wonderful vigor and vivacity
which is so characteristic Of him. His
trip began in October last, and, after
visiting the principal towns in the Indian
Territory, he traversed the whole length
of the state of Texas from Texarkana to
Ell Paso, stopping at the towns and cities
the most conveniently located to meet
and personally attend the vast number OF
patients in all parts of the state which
the doctor has been treating by corre-
spondence. II is safe to assume that no
man is better posted on the topography,
climate and civilization of the state OF
Texas by personal observation than the
doctor is. Very few counties within the
length and breadth OF this vast empire
state but that he visited, making short
calls at the largest places. coming into
personal contact with the customs, man
ners and thought of the people. The re-
suit is that the doctor is enthusiastic in
his praise of this magnificent state.
In his inimitable style the doctor, in
brief interview with him since his return,
said: "Few people have any adequate
idea of the relative size of the state of
Texas. 1t is larger than Germany or
France or Great Britain and Ireland, or
any other of the European states except
Russia in Europe and the United King
doms of Sweden and Norway. Take all
of the territory of the New England and
the Middle states and then add the states
of Ohio and Indiana, and the state
of Texas would be over seventeen
thousand square miles the largest
enough to make three states as large as
Connecticut. The vastness of the state
is, by no means, all that can be said in
it's favor. The climate IS superb-by far
the finest in this country. The whole
state teens with fertility and beauty
beyond description. Miles and miles of
Iuxuriant fields of wheat greet the eye in
every direction. Contentment and thrift
abouuds everywhere. My relations and
intercourse with the people were, with
Intelligence and enterprise Is universal,
and the boundless resources of the state
destine it beyond all doubt, to shortly
become the richest state in the Union. -
Speaking of the healthfulness of the
state, the doctor pronounced it ga very
hea1thful state, especially for those IN
clined toN DISEASES of the lungs. Malaria,
SO commof TO all new counties, prevails
quite ext5Asively, and consequently
those medicfHss that aVHerecommended
for this ailmenAfnd rs&ay sale. l have
noticed that the ReruRa Medicine Com
pany of this city eyA been doing some
advertising in Ter papers, but they
have omitted to nd Ion the superior vir-
tues of Pe-ru-9 an antI-malarisI
remedy. l, haxing used this remedy so
long, am prepsfd to @y that, without
exception, it isthe besffemedy for ma
laria in all foF1fs ID exixsAnce. If it was
generally kAwn Throughput the state
how mucn &xberior Pe-IV4pa is in all
malarial al ttions to the Is&al remedies
il use the s1{es Of Pe-ru-nA would be
enormous In the older paets of the
state the nAlarial Influences are rapidly
improving and no doubt in a few years
the discs will be unknown in the
State.
The doctor will be busy for the next
few weeks in experimenting the fitting
and furnishing of his new building, to be
occupied by the offices and various treat
meut rooms of the Hartman surgical in
stitute and medical association. This is
to be the most complete institution of the
kind in the United States, a detailed de-
scription of which Will shortly be given
to the public. Each department of thisi
magnificent institution will be fitted up-
with the latest and most approved imsi
pIemeuts of modern surgery.
In the orthopedie department, where
every conceivable deformity and paraly-
sis in its various forms is to be treated,
there will be a complete set of Swedish
movements and electrical apparatus,
costing thousands of dollars. No pains
or expense has been spared to make each
department as complete in its line as
the latest invention in surgical instrusz
ments makes possible. %
During his trip through Texas and the
Southwest the doctor was visited by null
titudes, who took advantage of his stop
in their vicinity to consult him, whom he
will continue to treat by correspondence.
This has necessitated an enlargement in
his department of correspondence, where
every letter IIOLu uib HulHcTOus patients
in ell parts of the United States will re-
oeive prompt attention. While it is al
ways preferable that patients visit the
doctor at his institute, yet many chronic
diseases are successfully treated at the
home of the patient in cases where either
the expense or fatigue of the trip
is too great to be borne by the pa
tient. 1t is imperative, however, that
cases of paralysis. deformities diseases of
the eve and oanoerous growth should visit
him in person, as no such case can be
properly treated without the expensive
surgical inventions which can be used
only at the Institute. His system for the
treatment of chronic diseases by corre-
spondence is the most perfect one ever
devised. With set OF question blanks he
gets all the facts known TO the patient,
and by the aid of chemical analysis and
mieroscopical examination of specimens
of the sputa, secretious, tissue, blood,
etc. sent him by the patient, he Is able
to make an accurate diagnosis of patients
thousands of miles away. In this way
he cures scores of obstinate cases of
chronic diseases in patients he never saw,
who were given up by attendant ply
siciaus to die.
At the head of each department be
employs an expert who acts under the
supervision of the doctor-each man in
his employ being specialist In his par
