The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1890-03-27

cious medicines can be counted on the
fingers without emitting any. This
is fact we'll known to the profession,
and is curiously contradictory of the
confusing array of drugs on exhibition
in the many drug-stores. Little by
little science and experience have COM
bined to demonstrate the undoubted
value of a few drugs, which, by proper
preparation and combination, are to
be considered as one of the greatest
boons that have ever been contributed
to the veal of mankind. These can, /
believe, be combined into three COM
pounds, in such manner as to retain
the virtues of each separate ingre-
dent and to present all of the really
effective drugs in three simple, harm
less and pleasant compounds per
fectly safe as family medi-
cines, and yet possessing all the virtues
that can be attributed TO every medi-
cine that has stood the test of modern
research. These three compounds are
distuingish by their names-Pe-ru-na,
Man-a-lin and La-cu-pi-a-and their
composition is effected by aprocess
entirely unlike any other medicine
known which process was per-
fected by myself after many
years experience, and upon which
their curative virtues chiefly de-
pend. The reason that three COM
pounds were fixed upon, into which to
arrange all effective medicines, was
the fact that drugs, in their operation
to cure disease, couldGbe conveniently
classed in three groups.
The first group is all of those medi-
cines that operate to the cure of dis
eases that effect the mucus or Serious
membranes of the body. This will in
clude all organs of the body that have,
as their lining or inner coat, mucous
membrane, namely, the mouth,
pharynx, stomach, bowels, larynx,
bronchial tubes, lungs, kidneys,
bladder, and sexual organs, heart and
liver; also, the Serious sacs of the body,
the pleura, the pericardium (heart
sacl, arachnoid Drain sac), the peril
oneum and tunica vaginalis. The
names of the diseases that are the re-
suit of affections of the mucus mem
branes of the various parts of the body
are: Stomititis CELEBRATED mouth),
Pharyngitis and Laryngitis (sore
throat), Gastritis, (some forms of dys-
pepsia), Enteritis, CELEBRATED bowels,
chronic diarrh@a, etc., Nephritis,
(Bright's disease Of the kidneys,) Cys-
tits inflammation of the bladder, Ur-
thrills ,infammation,of the urinary and
sexual organs, female diseases), En-
locarditis (heart disease), Bronchitis
Catarrhal Pneumonia, Consumption,
and others. The diseases of the SER
GUS sacs of the body are known as
Pleurisy, Pericarditis, Gnhamma ton of
the heart sac), Meningitis (brain fever)
Peritontis Gnfammation,of the bowels)
and Orchitis. While this list of dis
eases have names so dissimilar and
generally thought to be totally unlike,
yet each and every one of them are af-
fections of the mucus and Serious mem
branes, and any medicine that has a
beneficial effect on these membranes
will be the proper remedy to use in
the treatment of the whole list. The
drugs that do have such effect are few,
which l have been able to arrange into
compound of value that can
scarcely be exaggerated. This COM
pound is known as Pe-ru-na, regular
medical prescription, which brings to-
gether the few remedies whose virtues
are undoubted in the aforementioned
diseases, making a medicine that can
not fail to be of great value in any or
all of them. Therefore, when Pe-ru-na
is so vehemently recommended for a
host of diseases, it is no bombast, but
a scien tlfic probability.
The second group is all those medi-
cines that operate to cure diseases af-
Getting the excretory and secretory
glands of the body. This would in
clude diseases of the glands of the
stomach (atonic dyspepsia, diseases of
the liver and pancreas (which cause
jaundice, biliousness, bilious collie, sour
stomach, water brash, sick headache,
belching of gas, and host of similar
troubles), andldiseases of the glands Of
the bowels, which give rise to consti-
patton, fiatulency, intestinal colo,
piles, fistulas of the rectum, etc.
This long list of troubles, all coming
from single cause, must be met by
single remedy. The number of medi-
cines that been found to be reliable of
this class is very small, and they are
all included in the formule known as
Man-a-lin. To- hear Man-a-lin recon-
mended for such seeming variety OF
diseases sounds at first..li the gross
est exagger alton, but with the above
explanation OF the similar origin OF
the whole list, it follows, as a matter
of course, since what would help one
would help all. So it is with no fear
of giving offense, or exaggeration, that
Man-a-lin is, with the greatest of con-
fidence, recommended for this host
of enemies to mankind.
The third group includes all those
medicines which have been found to
of real worth the cure OF constitutional
diseases, or commonly known as blood
diseases. The most common of this
