DR.. Hartman Makes Public the Facts
AS to What Doctors Think of Peruna

nv obtaining hundreds of testi-
nonials from doctors if 1 would pay
he doctors for doing so.
recently received such a letter
from kentucky, from a doctor who
says he has been practicing medicine
for a quarter of a century, and is at
present medical referee for this
county. president of the county medi-
cal board, local surgeon of the c. &
.. railroad member of the state med
ISOLATION" and all that. He has used
Peruna and offers to give me a very
remarka bic testimonial if 1 would pay
him for doing so. He does not set
any price, but expects me to offer
him something, which of course I re-
fused to do. He said. L have been af-
flfcted with e sub acute inflammatory
condition of the post nasal space, and
of recent years the larynX has been
involved in the catarrhal process.
Your Peruna entirely relieved me of
both conditions after a comparative
~ short time of Using it. Today
am the happiest man alive. Medical
men will hardly believe me when I
tell them that your medicine cured
ne. but it is af act. Nevertheless I
1ad tried for fifteen years every
Known means. took treatment at sew
eral sanitariums." He is willing to
take oath to these statements if 1 will
make it worth his while to do so.
1t was very gratifying to receive
such a testimonial from a brother
physician and quite a temptation to
paw him a small sum and allow his
letter to be published. But I have
an undertaking policy of refusing to
pay any enc for testimonial Moth
ing would sooner lead to insincerity
and embarrassment than to offer pay
for testimonials. l should be flooded
with testimonials of all sorts and in
spite of every precaution some of them
would be Enthusiastically.
In referring to the doctors letter I
do not consider that I am violating
the ordinary cOurtesies and conf
1ences of private correspondence. I
have not made use of his name or the
town where he resides. But I am
perfectly willing to communicate the
name and address by private CORE
spOndence if any one wishes me to do
30, or submit the letter for exam nina
ion to any inquirer who may call at
ny office. And I may say the same in
idvs nee of the next letter that I am
bout to refer to.
Another doctor from North Caro-
ina writes me. He says: 4 have a
,ase under observation now perma-
le1tly cured by Peruna that has baf-
led the medical profession ever since
he disease was known" He says. L
lave successfully cured the case with
oeruna and feel that if the public

tatement of the particular case and
rive you the greatest ad for Peruna
