DR.. Hartman Advocates Fresh Air
AS a Treatment for Lung Diseases

needed at all; they did more harm than
good
Nv treatment for lung diseases was
food and plenty of it, suited to the taste
of the patient. Fresh, warm air. The
patient sleeping on an upper floor. Ii
there is anything such q patient needs
it is warmth, as well as air and sun. In
addition to this. the right sort of a tonic
and diffusive stimulant constituted my
treatment for lung diseases. This L had
been advocating all along. l was the
first doctor in this country to advocate
the fresh air treatment.
I do not approve of the fresh air treat
ment as applied by the doctors to-day.
in some future article l am going to tell
why. 1t Is sufficient for me to say now
that the doctors have swung to the other
extreme. In applying fresh air.tO their
patients they have killed many by damp
ness and cold and exposure to the ele
ments. By stuffinS them with eggs and
milk they have deranged the digestive
organs so as to hasten the end.
With rest home surroundings, fresh
air. GOOD bome-cOOked food and Peruna
a greater per cent. of lung diseases re-
cover than from anY other treatment IN
this or any other country. L sincerely
believe this and / propose to proclaim 1t
to the people and restore somewhat the
as Katarno, in the treatment of catarrh
of the lungs and other catarrhal dis
cases. Catarrh of the lungs Is lust or
binary catarrh, not germ disease In
treating It as a catarrhal disease I am
making cures where others fail
Those wishing the Revised Peruna,
Lacupia or Manalin can find them in any
drug store Those wishing to procure
Katarno. the oId-time Peruna referred
to in the above remarks, should inquire
of their druggist for it. If he does not
keep It in stock he can easily get it of
any wholesaler in the United States If
for any reason he does not do so write
to the KatarnO Company, Columbus,
Ohio, and they viii tell you how to get
1t.
In reference to KatarnO I wish to say
again what [ have said many times be-
FORE that KataTno IS manufactured by
the Katarno Company, Columbus. Ohio,
by my consent. 1 personally guarantee

the formula Of the old Peruna.-Adver-
tisement.

around at night on a pole, BY a
crowd of men, women and children.
They proceed from door to door Of
the well-to-do people singing car
OILS. They are made welcome and
invited into the houses and given re-
freshments. Since the United States
owns Hawaii they celebrate Christ
mas the same way as we do. Only
it is as hot there as our hottest July
day, so Of course they don't expect
Santa in a sleigh and drawn by our

Of celebrating Christmas, would you?
think we prefer our jovial, festive
family manner of spending Christ
mas.
The Pennsylvania Dutch call their
Santa Claus PelgnickIe. One of the
men Of the community impersonates
the part. He goes from house to
house carrying a bundle of toys
over his shoulder for the good
but also carries a switch
for the naughty ones. Our children,
no doubt, prefer to have their Santa
Claus come down the chimney, and
not walk up to the front door like
any other man.
In Porto Rico the little folks be-
ieve that Santa Claus comes flying
through the air like a bird. I won
der if before many years he will
come to US in an air ship? The
children place little boxes on their
roofs or in the courtyards, and dear
old st. Nicholas drops the gifts in |
them and flies by. In Porto Rico /
he is expected every evening for q /
week. Think of the children's ex-
element as they rush to their boxes
every morning. But the Christmas
in Porto Rico is really /
: holy one, and it is commemorated
with many religious ceremonies.
