Take. for instance, single case from the
I extensive list of similar cases IN my diary Of
cases treated, as an example of the virtues Of
| Pe-Tu-na. Mrs. T. S. Eberlein then of Pitts
| burg, Pa, now of keokuk, Iowa., during the
year 1882, began TO develop the usual symp-
toms of consumption. Cough was one OF
the first symptoms, which gradually grew
Worse in spite of all treatment. The sputa,
at first slight, became abundant and puru-
| lent, occasionally sreaked with blood. A
rapid loss of flesh and tagging appetite filed
| her relatives with forebodings. The hectic
flush, night sweats, and suppression of the
menses, left no doubt as to the nature Of her
disease. From the first physician that had
been employed. Cough medicines, tonics,
cod-lver oil and stimulants were resorted to
by her physicians without avail The first
physician employed was DR.. Williams of
Fem avenue, Pittsburg; DR.. Clifford, of
Allegheny City, was called next, and then
of conflict with this terrible disease frequent
consultations were held, but nothing checked
the steady progress of her malady Not a
doubt had existed in the minds of her physi-
clans 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 physicians were honored members of
the medical fraternity, in whom Mrs. Eber-
lein's husband and family had perfect conf
dence, And the sorrow with which they
listened to their decision that they had eX-
hausted everything known to them in vain
for the relief OF the wife and mother of the
afflicted household can lie better imagined
than described. As is common to consump-
tive patients, Mrs. Eberlein continued hopeful
long after her attendants believed her to be
beyond cure.
I was practicing at the time in Pittsburg,
and fancy that L would be able to relieve
her was, during her illness, repeatedly ex-
PIE :sed by Mrs. Eberlein, but il was regard
ed as the merest whim and as they were en-
ploying the best medical talent the city af-
forded, no attention was paid to it. At last
she became so weak and enaciated that an
attendant was constantly at hand to lift her
during tine terrible coughing spells to which
she was subject, and which were frequently
by alarming sinking spells, during
which she was often thought to be dying. 1t
was during one of these frightful paroxysms
that her husband was supporting her tender
ly and vainly trying to palliate her sufferings
that she again expressed her belief that if
DR.. Hartman were sent for he could relieve
her. Willing to indulge her 10 any wish, as
she was thought to be dying by all, was
sent for, but being very busy
was1..not able TO respond until late IN the |
evening uf the afternoon in which | was sent
for. It was not expected that she would |
survive until could reach her home, but |
hope kept her alive until l came.
Il would be difficult to imagine more
case for q doctor to undertake
o cure than Mrs. Eberlen's at the moment
If my first visit. A drawn, pincted counte-
nance, of deathly pallor. and livid lips;
unken, fixed, staring eyes, with CLASSY
brightness was; ed in body to mere shad-
Nv pulse wholly unperceptible at the wrist,
,ut the heart feebly futtering; exremities
old and clammy, finger nails blue, breathing
hurried and grasping, utterly exhausted and
hopeless, it certainly seemed SIS if had only.
Irrived in time to see her die. The first
question Of the distracted husband was: sis
ny wife dying?" But my undaunted faith
n the efficacy of Pe-ru-na is such, even in this
.wful emergency, that l replied: "Sir, you
nd are in the vigor of life it may happen
hat this lady will live to see us buried"
after Il hasty examination OF the case, 1 pre-
cribed Pe-ru-na to be taken every hour, and
she was not better in the morning to let
ne know.
1t was two weeks before 1 again heard
rom the case, when the husband entered {
ny Office, radient with Joy, and, not waiting

hat, while she had made astonishing i'm ;
rovement she was obliged to continue the {
Sc of Pe-ru-na many months. In less than
year she was entirely well, and has remain
d Sc since, and her treatment from the be-
inning to the end was oe-ru-na, and moth
lg else. To have seen her, at the time of
ne first visit, it would have been impossible
} believe that any medicine or other earthly
over could have saved her.
This case is no more unusual or astonish-
lg than great many others that my list
ontains, not only of diseases of the lungs,
ut of all mucus surfaces. Cases of dyspep-
a, diarrhea and dysentery which have with
,ood all other treatment, have yielded at
nee by the use of Pe.ru-na. Numerous
asses of Bright's disease of the Kidneys,
Lcute Catarrh and Rheumatism, Female
diseases that had been treated locally for
ears, instantly relieved and finally cured by
e-ru-na; in snort, every disease affecting any
lucus or Serious membrane of the body that
as not already gone beyond all earthly
clip, Pe-ru-na will cure. As a general tonic
I'D appetizer Pe-ru-na has no superior. 1t
a certain specific for WORKOUT or tired-out
uman nature. Cases of nervous prostra-
on, loss of vitality and sleeplessne.s are all
Gated by Pe-ru-na with such undertaking !

lie greatest tonic known.
Next week we will continue the doctors

nd La-cu-pi-a will be given.
