The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1897-04-15

TLEMEN-Having finished the
diseases of the respiratory organs at
our last lecture, had proposed TO take
up the catarrhal diseases of the all
mentary canal, commencing with ca
tarrh of the stomach; but, as il Is the
wish of the class, communicated to me
bv DR.. Mizer, that | talk more specific-
ally about the remedy Pe-ru-na, | have
concluded to deviate from my course OF
lectures in this particular. or course,
in a single lecture / can tell you but
little Of what might be told about this
famous remedy.
Pe-ru-na is entirely composed of veg
etable ingredients, each one having
specific influence upon the mucous
membranes of the organs of the BODY.
During the winter the respiratory or
CANS become diseased; during the sum-
mer the digestive organs are in con-
slant danger. Hence, during warm
weather we have to contend against
catarrh and inflammation of the stom-
ach. bowels, rectum and bladder. These
troubles frequently assume the form OF
cholera morbus, summer complaint,
cholera infantum, collie, diarrhoea, dys-
entery, and chills and fever.
Just as Pe-ru-na Is a specific Tor
chronic catarrh and inflammation of
the nostrils, bronchial tubes and lungs,
SO il is an absolute specific for catarrhal
diseases of summer. | have now just
passed my forty-second year in the
active practice of medicine, and | can
say what few other physicians can say,
that is: have never in all these forty
two years lost single case OF dysen-
terry. diarrhoea, cholera morbus, sum-
mer complaint, cholera infantum, in
fammation of the stomach, bowels or
bladder, or Bright's Disease; and the
only medicines | ever used in these
diseases were Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin
hold in my hand a publication, the
first edition of which / wrote twenty
seven years ago, entitled THE Ills Oh
Life" It has now reached its eleventh
edition. In this little book you can read
not only the medical treatment for al
catarrhal diseases, but also the adJuncts
to that treatment in the way OF 1nJec'
tions. hot and cold water applications
diet, drink, and clothing to be worn
after recovery. | have received any
number of letters from physicians de-
claring that they never use any treat
ment except that given in my book
1.-The Ills of Life" and that their sue
cess in catarrhal diseases has been in
finitely greater than the old treatmen
recommended in medical books and lee
lures in medical colleges. You see, then
that while Pe-ru-na is indispensable
for the catarrhal diseases of winter, i
is even more indispensable in diseases
of spring, summer and fall. tell you
gentlemen, no death will occur in dis
eases of summer if Pe-ru-na is taken al
directed in this book, THE Ills o
Life"
Before citing some cases to illustrate
what | have said. | may say, notwlth
standing the great claims made TO
other preparations, professional or do
nestle, there is no medicine or combin
alton of medicines that can, in the leas
degree, compare with Pe-ru-na, Mana
lin and La-cu-pi-a, in summer diseases
Pe-ru-na is the ne plus ultra In all mu
cous diseases. and in them no othe
: medicine is ever needed, not even i
the worst complications, If rationale
used as directed. And so with Mama
lin in diseases of the liver and othe
glands, constipation, etc. 1t meet
every requirement. In all blood dis
eases, care not what their nature
syphilis or rheumatism, or stubbor
, skin disease - La-cu-pi-a will cur
: every case.
With these three remedies, gentle
men, you can practice in every sectio
, of every country, and practice with in
: finitely greater success than any othe
physician, whether alophthic, home
|, opathis or eclectic. know of man
i families who, in twenty-five years, hav
, never called a physician, except l
J cases of confinement or in surgic;
cases. Now for the letters:
