"Student of Human Nature
Discusses Pneumonia.
STATEMENT TO THE PUBLIC
Says He Is Appealing to the Com
mon Sense of the People.
SIMPLE REMEDY SAVES ALL
Prompt Use, MI. Redding Declares,
Will Disappoint the I'm
dertaker.

The following communication has been
sent to The Star by Marius y. Redding'
a student Of human nature living at
321 McAllister street, San Francisco, Cal.
Mr.. Readings letter treats of what he
considers a sure cure for pneumonia.
The communication follows:
ITO the medical fraternity and the pub
lie: I am again knocking at the doors of
the hospitals. pulling at the heartstrngs
of the doctors and appealing to the COM
mon sense of the public.
why do they let people die of pneu-
monia when the following simple remedy
has saved not only myself, but all
who have had chance to use it? In
Worcester. Mass: Alaska. Seattle, Gold
field, New; Pasadena and Los Angeles
at all those places it has been tried with
unfaiing effect.
Causes a Change.
During my stay in Pasadena last win
ter ] read in the Los Angeles papers of
deaths from this sneaking. dreaded dis
case called pneumonia, from two or three
and up to five every twenty-four hours
At last. on the 9TH of February, 1905
went to Los Angeles and got the prescrip
ton inserted in four of the Los Angeles
daily papers. The public read it the Sth
OF February, and what a change! From
high death rate during the winter and
before that day, it stopped suddenly. The
daily papers recorded only one death
day of pneumonia, and most all the VIC
Tins were infants less than one year old.
What was the cause of this sudden
change? Let me tell you. 1t was this
simple remedy, discovered by me fourteen
years ago. 1t can be had at any drug
store for % cents.
What prompted me to give this to the
world? a friend of mine. Prof Henry
p. Loomis. professor of medicine at Cor
nell University. died with pneumonia last
Christmas, and all his and his associates
knowledge could not save him. hence my
warning and advice, and | hereby chal-
lenge any doctor in the United States to
come forward and contradict me. / am
ready to defend this remedy as an abso-
lutte cure for pneumonia, even in the last
stages.
Method of Use.
Il have sent this prescription to the
Stanford University, the Northwestern
College of Medicine (Ch:cago). Cornell
University of New York and to numerous
other places, even across to England to
some OF the most prominent men there.
"Saturate a ball of cotton as large as
one-inch marble with spirits of alcohol.
add three drops of chloroform to each ball
of cotton, place 1t between the patients
teeth and let him inhale the fumes in deep
long breaths for fifteen minutes: then rest
for fifteen minutes or longer II needed;
then inhale again fifteen minutes and re-
peat the operation, as directed, for twen-
ty-four times. and the result will be that
the lungs will expand to their normal
condition, and in twenty-fo four hours the
patient is out of danger and in forty-eisht
hours he is cured-although weak.
Change Cotton Often.
Change cotton often; it ought to be
changed twice in fifteen minutes.
Another method of Inhalation for
elderly people without teeth and patients
in the last stages of pneumonia:
Get small alcohol lamp, or any heat
ing apparatus, and porcelain cup.
Make a one-inch cover for cup Bore a
hole in the middle and insert half.inch
rubber tube long enough to reach the
patients mouth. Boil the alcohol mo
chlorOfOrm is needed in this method); let
from the boiling alcohol I'm long breaths
for fifteen minutes, and follow directions
above. But listen:
DO not wait until you have got pneu-
monia, but use this simple cure as soon
as you feel that your lungs are affected,
and l can assure you that you will dis
appoint the undertaken and live MANY
happy days. Give this remedy to all
with whom you come in contact
Doctors, try it, and use it for human
ity's sake, and the public for your own
welfare. Cut this out. 1t may come
handy some time
