Want to Know the Truth.

Want to Know the Truth.
The following letter was received
by DIR. Hartman through his regular
correspondence:
II notice the testimonial OF Mrs.
Alice Boyle, which you give in your
last article. IL / should write her do
you suppose she would give me fur
ther particulars? / have heard IL said
many times that such testimonials are
takes; that they are either absolutely
fictitious or else the people have been
hired to write them. ! have been in
clined to write you q great many
times but these stories about patent
medicine advertisements have dis
couraged me from doing SO. I am
afflicted with catarrh and should like
very much to find a remedy such as
your article describes"
To the above letter DR.. Hartman
made the following reply:
My dear Madam do not wonder
that you are confused and have lost
all faith In advertised remedies.
There has been SO much said against
them. SO much controversy concern
Ing them, / am not surprised that
some people have lost confidence in
them.
! wish you would write Mrs. Boyle,
as one woman to another. I wish you
would ask her whether she has been
hired to write such a testimonial,
whether her testimonial represents
the truth.
! hope you will remember that she
Is a housewife, like yourself, hat she
has something to do besides write
letters, that she Is a woman of mod
crate can and cannot afford 10
write these letters and pay her own
postage. l hope you will enclose
stamp so she can answer you without
loss to herself. Mrs. Boyle is a very
estimable lady and no doubt you will
both profit by being acquainted with
each other.
Should you conclude to try Peruna
for your catarrh ! would be very glad
to hear OF the result. can assure you
that no use will be made OF your let
ter, except by your written consent.
Mrs. Boyle very kindly consented to
have me use her letter, which is my
reason for doing SO, and you will be
treated exactly as she has been.
People recover from chronic ca
tarrh who take Peruna. There is no
doubt about that. Some surprising
recoveries are reported almost daily.
