Hartman received the following letter:
My wife has been a sufferer from a
complication OF diseases for the past
twenty-five years Her case mas baffled
the skill of some of the most noted ply
siciaus. One of her worst troubles was
chronic constipation of several years
standing. She was also passing through
that most critical period in the life of a
vvoman-change of life.
In June. 1895. I wrote to you about
her case. You advised a course Of
Peruna and Manalin. which we at once
commenced and have to say it com

Horrors of the Cocaine Habit.


The following illustration OF bad ad-
vice in the lecture room is probably
not an exceptional case A professor
Of materia medica lecturing on cocaine
called it one Of the greatest Of all
stimulants and perfectly harmless.
He cited his own experience OF its
good effects, and advised the class to
test il personally in debility and ex-
haustiOn. Of a class Of thirty-two who
listened TO this advice. i've became
cocaine takers within two years. Ten
years later thirteen Of this class were
drug and spirit takers. In all prob
ability, the use Of cocaine was the
starting point Of their addictiOns.
Four died from the direct use Of this
drug. Evidently more than half the
class had followed the advice OF the
teacher and we're wrecked. A few
years after, the professor became an
invalid and retired from the profes-
sion, a victim Of his own counsel and

Tuberculosis RIohtIv cIsssed.

The Health department Of the city Of
Philadelphia has decided that in future
tuberculosis shall be classed with
other diseases that are dangerous to
the public health, such as smallpox,
diphtheTia, scarlet fever, and other
contagious maladies. The law in
Pennsylvania and most other States Of
the Union requires that every case OF
contagious disease shall be reported
to the Health department. Hereafter
all cases Of tuberculosis must be so
reported BY the attending physician.
The purpose Of this Law is to enable
the Health department to take neees-
saTy steps to prevent the extension of
this disease by disinfection Of the
apartments which have been occupied

- q TubercuIosis

Dr. Harmon Biggs Of New York
american Medicine). after a careful
estimation. places the annual expense
Of tuberculosis TO the people OF the
United States at $3.50. 1000, 10000 He
first calculates the loss to New York
city by putting a value Of 81 500 upon
each life at the average at which
deaths from tuberculosis occur This
gives a total value OF the lives lost
annually OF S1-5OG, 10000.
But this is not all For at least nine
months prior to death these patients
cannot work, and the loss OF service
at one dollar a day. together with food,
nursing. medicines, attendance. etc,
at one and One-half dollars a day, re-
suits in a further loss of $4,000, 100000.
making a yearly loss 10 the rauniei-
paIity Of So. 600. O0O.GO. For the whole
country the 10000 deaths from tuber-
culOsis represent in the same way q
loss Of S33O,OOO,OOO.OO.
DR.. Biggs also states that the total
expenditure in the city Of New York
for the care Of tuberculOus patients is
not at present over $500, 10000 a year.
that Is, it does not exceed two per cent
OF the actual loss by death, etc If
this annual expenditure we're doubled
or trebled II would mean a saving OF
several thousand lives annually, to say
nothing OF the enormous saving in suf-
fering-" Further evidence of this is
afforded by the fact that in 1he last
twenty years the total number OF
deaths from tuberculosis in New York
has decreased instead Of increasing.
although there has been an increase
Of 20 per cent in the general pOpula-
ton
