Religion and Medicine

sary as medicine. that the want Of reli-
gion frequently defeats the action Of
the best medicine.
Many a chronic invalid has searched
in vain for a physical remedy simply
because he has lost his grip on vital
religion, the religion that not only pro-
vides salvation In the world to come.
but %soundness Of body and mind in the
world that is.
Yes, there is a most intimate rela-
ton between medicine and religion.
Other things being equal, the irrelig-
ious man stands a poor chance of get
ting well when he is sick, while the re-
ligious man frequently gets well in the
most astonishing way after the doctors
have all given him up to die. With a
firm faith in q rational religion and
an obedient use Of the right remedy a
great many hopeless invalids could be
restored to perfect health.
Well, you have made It clear as to
what you mean by religion, But what
is the remedy you would recommend?
Of course I would recommend differ
ent remedies for different conditions.
But the particular remedy that l am
interested in at this time, the remedy
that meets more chronic ailments than
any other remedy l know Of, is Peru
ma. Peruna is a remedy for that multi
tudinous group of ailments that are
dependent upon catarrhal derange-
ments.
I am furnishing a book on catarrhal
diseases which l send to any person
free. In this book / explain quite fully
the uses Of Peruna. Those who do
not care to wait to send for the booklet
at this time viii find information and in
struction as to the general uses Of Pc
explained within the wrapper Of
each bottle. PERUNA is FOR SALE
AT ALL DRUG STORES.
SPECIAL NOTICE Many persons
are making inquiries for the old
time Peruna. To such would say,
this formula is now put out under the
name Of KA-TAR-NO, manufactured

a loving Father controls the destiny
OF mankind are a great deal better
prepared to meet the vioissitudes OF
life and to overcome disease than the
one who has no such faith A truly
religious nan makes a better patient
than an irrellgious man.
In using the word religion l am not
referring TO any particular kind OF re-
ligion, The Jew and the gentle. the
Catholic and the Protestant. each have
a religion in which they believe. They
also agree in the essentials.
A religious man may believe that It
Is necessary for him TO use every
means in his power to get well. He
may believe that il is perfectly proper
for him 20 employ doctors and take
medicines. But he also believes that
when he has done the best he can
there is a higher power that has
charge Of his affairs. that absolute JUS
tice will be done him. that no evil thing
a bef0l & good man. He goes for
ward with confidence, sick or well, rich
or poor. and gets a great deal more
comfort out Of life than the man who
has no religion.
l have found myself saying many
times to people who have a chronic all
ment, You need religion as well as
medicine. You need faith in an over
ruling providence that guides every
thing to wise ends; that the anliction
Of disease teaches a lesson that every
one should strive to learn"
This does not mean that sick people
are to sit down and trust that an over
ruling providence will do everything.
Nothing of the sort. He is to use reme-
dies guided by his best Judgment, but
in the use Of them he can believe that all
things are well and that in the end all
things will come out right. Any medi-
cine has a better chance to cure a man
who holds such a faith.
Some men are so faithless and UNI
believing, so restless and desperate,
their minds so unsettled. that even the
best of medicine has little chance to
do them any good. Therefore 1 say
that religion is often quite as neces-

Is there any intimate relation be-
tween religion and medicine?
Yes, there is. The old-time healer
was also the priest. Theology and
medicine have not maintained a sep
arate existence very long. They
used to be one. Yes, there is an init
mate relation between religion and
medicine.
It is well known OF a person who
eats with unthankfulness and i'll
natured spirit, that his food will not
have the same effect as II he were in
a kindly mood. The same is true OF
medicine. II a person swallows a medi-
cine with suspicion, has no faith in it's
action, is mor or less afraid Of the n
who gives him the medicine. it cannot
do him as much good as II he had un-
wagering faith H. it.
