Peruna Critics Say
THAT There Was Nothing Wonderful
in the Recovery of Mrs.
Eberlein.
DIR. HARTMAN REPLIES.

- OF course my narrative CONCERNING
Mrs. Eberlein. Of Pittsburg. who was
rescued from apparent death by Pc
ru-na. has excited a good deal of dis
cussion and comment. One critic has
offered the following solution. He
says that the reason Pe-ru-na cured
Mrs. Ebsrlein at such o stage Of the
disease is explained as follows:
She vas probably very weak. She
became unable to expectorate. The
consequence was huge accumulations
of. mucus and phlegm gathered In the
lungs On account OF her weakness
she was unable to expel it. 1t was
slowly strangling her to death.
Pe-ru-na stimulated her. enabled
her to cough up and spit out the ac-
cumulated phlegm. This explains why
she was cured. There was no miracle
about 1t. Nothing wonderful either.
To all Of which I say. yes. Of course.
That may be the explanation. And
Vet II remains true that without the
Pe-ru-na she would have died. 1t re-
mains true that l got there just In
time to save her life. The doctors had
given her UP TO die. h was gasping
for breath. unconscious. cold. in short,
dying. However il is explained, the
Fe-ru-na saved her life. OF course 1t
did.
l do not believe in miracles myself,
l believe there IL a natural exxplana.
ton for everything. Pe-ru-na helped
Mrs. Eberlein to expel from her lungs
the accumulated cxpectoration. and
thus saved her life. Good.
] presume Mrs. Eberlein is just AZ
that she is alive with one
explanation as with another. and ( am
as 'thankful thnt I WAS able to
cure her. whatever the explanation
may be.

of Mysterious Assault.
St. Louis. Dec. 5.-A mysterious
woman, tall and athletic, who called
at the residence of Rev. Timothy
Dempsey. pastor Of st. Patrick's
church. at Sixth and Biddle streets,
made a sudden attack on the priest.
Without awaiting results the wom-
an turned, ran down the steps Of the
Priests residence, and fled rapidly
south on Sixth street and disappeared.
Father Dempsey was talking with
n Of his p%arishioners when his
~housekeeper told him that a woman
was at the door. and wanted to speak
to him Immediately, but would not
enter the house..
Father Dempsey went to the front
door, which. was left slightly ajar. As
he opened the door wider the woman's
right hand shot out and Father Demp-
sey received a heavy blow in the neck.
The blow startled him, but the mental
shock was greater. :
II could not see her face. She was
evidently athletic, for she ran like a
deer" said the priest. II do not know
If she had a weapon. I saw none"
The police cannot account for the
alta ok. Father Dempsey's charitable
