The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1890-05-29

all parts of the United States will re-
ceive prompt attention. While it is
always 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 tosbe borne by the
patient. 1t is imperative, however,
that cases of paralysis, deformities,
diseases of the eye and cancerous
growths 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 cor
respondence is the most perfect one
ever yet devised. With set of ques-
ton blanks he gets all the facts known
to the patient, and by the aid ofchem-
ical analysis and microscopical exami-
nation of specimens of the sputa,
secretions, tissue, blood, etc., sent him
by the patient, he is able to make an
accurate diagnosis of patients thou
sands 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
physicians to die.
At the head of each department he
employs an expert who acts under
the supervision of the doctor-each
man in his employ being a specialist
in his particular department.
This insures to each patient treated
by correspondence, or otherwise, not
only the personal attention of Dr..
Hartman, but also the assistance of
a surgeon who makes the dis
ease a special line of study
This brings to the very doors of
the most distant one wishing TO,
consult the doctor the most skilled
and valuable medical and surgical adj
vice or treatment to be had in this or
any other country for a fraction of the
expense to the patient that it other
wise would be. All letters of inquiry
are answered free, in which each APP
plicant will be fully acquainted with
the details necessary to his treatment.
For instance, patient three thou
sand miles away wishes to be treated
by DR.. Hartman, but, not being able
to bear the expense of travel necessary
to visit the doctors Institute, the pa
tent writes to him about il. The
disease for which treatment is desired
may be catarrh, consumption, rheu-
matism, scrofula, syphilis, or any
other chronic ailment. The pa
tent is at once sent a question blank
to be answered, which will bring out
all the symptoms and other facts
known to the patient much more fully
than is usually obtained by visiting
physician. If there is the slightest
doubt in the mind of the doctor or any
of his assistants as to the exact con-
dition of the patient after considering
the answers to the questions, a spec
linen OF the urine or sputa or blood
and chemical or microscopiacl ex-
animation is made of them which will
remove any doubt about the case.
Thus patients many hundred miles
away are brought under the most
accurate and rigid examination and
treated with as much precision as if
they were visited personally.
Lectures and phamphlets on each Of |,
the chronic diseases is sent free to all
applicants. This institution is a
credit to the genius and enterprise of
DIR. Hartman, and one of which our
city is justly proud.
