When Dr. St. John established Ills prac
tice In Scianton he told tlie people that
ho would introduce methods of cm lug
them of which they weie imlufoimed.
He told the people that he came with u
cleaily defined purpose, to show by the
results in his own piactlce under his
personal cure und attention tho wondur
I ill value of the latest discoveries In
medicine when piopeily applied, und of
tho muivelotis lestdts of his Tine
Homoeoputhle Tieatuient foi Catatih.
Ho did not ask tho people to take him
on faith. He told them that until A;nll
1st he would tieat nil who camu to his
olllces absolutely flee. lie agieed not
only to doctor tlie sick, but to supply
'them with medicine without cost us
well. How well Doctor St, John has
kept his promise the people of Scianton
can tell. Twelve bundled of our most
Intelligent people have visited him, have
consulted with him in person, have le
celved tlie needed counsel und medicine,
and over 500 sick people hae ulieudy
been Clued or much benefited.
The good he wus doing hud so spread
among the people that toward the lust
tlie majority of those who consulted him
did so without regaid to the ftee offer,
und only sought his aid because they nul cost
weie sure they would receive what they
requited 111 tlie vvuy of a cine, but he
kept his promise to the letter, und not
one cent was accepted, although large
fees were offeted lrr scores of cases.
Tho news of the way he hud kept his
promise lo the public, the news of the
fact tliut he absolutely refused to re
ceive u. cent from any one, had spread
like wild-lite, uud tlie throngs towurd tlie
lust were so gieut that had he heen
twenty doctors instead of only one -doctor,
he could not have cured for them.
Doctor St, John would like to treat ev

flee, but even If he weie u mllllonulte U
bundled times over und could uffotd to
do this, tlie ciowds that thionged his of
fice during the past few days have shown
the Impossibility of it. While he cannot
tieat all flee forever, he can, hovyever,
do one thing, und thut he will do; that
Is this: For one month lie will treat all
ut u nominal fee, Just enough to cover
the cost of the needed medicine. This
he finds to bo fi a month. This will give

As Is well known throughout the coun
tiy, Doctor Huutei St, John Is the Hist
ph) sic Ian to founulute a Homoeopathic
titutment for t'aturih. Doctor St. John
wus seen In his otflco lust evening, und
consented, becuuse ol the gieat number
who are seriously ulllleted by this Na
tlonul disease in its dltfetent forms one
of the woist being the grip to explain
briefly the natuie of tho disease, lis
causes and why tho old school ph)slclaus
have fulled to cure.
"Uveiy person who knows any tiling,
and who Is taking pains to investigate
the subject," said Doctor St. John, "Is
uwaie that In dlsc-asi-s buoh as Rheumat
ism, Kldticv Trouble, Kevers und dis
eases of Womtn and Chlldien, Homoeo
pathy is vol) superior to an) thing else
foi these tioubles. It has taken a great
muny yeais for Homoeoputhy 10 work
out u pel feet cuie for these conditions,
and so busy have been tho Homoeopathic
physlchms that they hav'o had no time
to 'investigate thoroughly tho tieatment
from tho Homoeopathic standpoint, of
one of tlie most common and anno) lug
d'sias-es, namely, Catarrh,
"rion'e yeais ago, aftei having mus
teicd tho subject of the Homoeopathic
tieatment foi other diseases,
'1 (invu .lly Attention to the Careful
Study ol't atuirh,"
and during these )eais 1 have formulated
the it suits of what ( have discovered
about this disease and its tipatmelit.
When I began my studies Into the nature
of the cause of Cututih, those who sut
tottd fiom the d'sensi? hud to iel) en
tirely on tho old-school method, with
their huisli uud stiong medicines, their
caustic and burning solutions, their cut
ting uud burning and sawing In the nose
and lirltatlng washes for the tluoat.
Priding that the old-school doctors taiely
succeeded In curing the disease, I was
Impiessed with the fact thnt thel- fuil
111 cs icsulted fiom the haishness of their
meusuies und llie'r inaiiiuty ro unuer
stand the disease.
"Atter )eurs of patient investigation,
bringing ever) pan of my knowledge of
Homoeopathy to my assistance, I have
been able to demonstrate that I have dls
coveitd a plan of tieatment, bused en
tliely on the doctrine of Homoeopathy,
which, like ull othei Homoeoputhle tieat
ment. Is mild und cuies without annoy
ance uud Miftetlng. As fust as. I can do
so taiely I shall give the benefit ot my
discoveries In the treatment of this dis
ease, to the woild. but before doing so I
propose to demonstrate to the doetois
und people alike that my woik and my
tieatment nie all that I claim for them,
uud I piopose lo do this by ti eating the
people und
Perlorirritrg Cures Where Others llnve
I'nilcil.
If my tieatment Is not what I claim for
It, If It will not cure wheie other tleat
meiits have fulled, it Is no good, und I
um willing to have It condemned. How
ever, It must Hot be condemned until Its
merits have been thoroughly Investigat
ed. 1 pioposo to put tills tieatment to
tho most thoiough test thut is possible
to give it, and while doing this 1 will
give all those suffering fiom Catatih
opportunity to test its merits.
"Voir usl: If 1 urn willing to say a few
vvoids to the people legaidlng what 1
have discoveied relative to this disease,
and tho duugeis which ule eutuiled by
neglecting It. 1 will do so,
"1 will tiy to tell you Ju3t what the
dlseai'H Is, Just what causes It to develop
and why it is thut the old-school reme
dies und treatments have failed In suc
cessfully ebplng with It.
"To begin with, Catuirh Is a disease
thut often Invades the entire system.
Wherever It stutts, whether It bo in the
lieud or tin out. It tries to extend fui
ther, and if not cured It Is liable to puss
into the lungs. If Cutuuh stuits In the
stomach It often passes Into the Bowels
and Liver. If Caturili starts In the Kld
ne)s it Intel teles with tho action of these
oiguns, uud otten extends Into the Blad
der. There is no dlseuso thut attacks the
parts of tho body so genet ally as does
Cdtanh. Theie Is no diseases that
causes so much harm In the body as de
tail h.
There Is 'o Disease So Hadly Treat
ed ns Catarrh.
"Catarrh Is a disease of the mucous
membiune thut almost Invailubly starts
with u cold. It Is like this: The cold is
taken, it Is stubborn and refuses to get
well, and while the inembianes lining the
Nose and Tluoat aie still inflamed. Ca
tarrh uttneks them and becomes seated.
Fiom the Xose, where Ctarrii usually
begins, ' It spreads to other localities
along the bieuthlug uppuratus. Some
times It pusses down the Throat and into
tho Lungs, like the spiead of a pialrie
lite. Of teller Its course Is slower, travel
ing by degrees thiough the Nose to the
Throat, then a fresh cold Is taken lir
the Tluoat und tho Cutnrih passes on to
the Vocal Clioids. A new cold Is taken
and the Cutuuh extends Into the Wind
pipe; another cold is taken and the Ca
tiuih pusses into the liionchial Tubes
und Lung Cells,
"I have found that Catauh Is liable to
attack uii) mucous surfuce of the body,
Tho lining membiune of the Stomach, the
lining of tho How els, the lining of the
dull Tubes in the Liver and the lining
of the Hladder, aie each composed of Just
the sou of membrane that Catarrh lives
011. So a cold that settles In the stomach
may pioduce Catatih and when such oc
elli s there will bo
Dyspepsia mid Soro Stomach
and nausea, and often gagging and vom
iting 111 the morning. When the cold
settles lu tho Liver theie v, 111 be Liver
Disease, and often when a cold settles
in tlie Bowels theie will be griping pains,
tumbling und louring In the Uowels, fol
lowed by Diarrhoea. When the cold set
tles In the Kidneys and Catuirh begins
Its coin so in these oiguns, there will by
puin in the buck uud the urine will be
come scanty und high coloied. When a
cold Is taken and settles lu the Hladder
theie will be Cutuuh of this organ und
theie will bo tretpieiit deslie to puss
water, with smutting pulu along the.
water pussuge. 1 have found that be
sides the symptoms w filch uie so gener
ully lecoguized us belonging to Cuturrh,
that the dlseuso makes serious inroads
011 tho geneiul liealth, uudel mining the
system,
"III tho foimulation of the Homoeo
pathic treatment for Cutuuh, I discov
eied thut the disease, as It affects the
dlffeieiit oiguns and paits of the body,
acts In enttifly different wu)s und that
lo cute it theie wus needed u specially
devised course of treatment for each
part that was affected. Thus, while find
ing thut one plan would cuie Catarrh In
the Throat, 1 found It lequlred something
cull! el) dlffeieiit to cure Catanh of the
Stomach, uud still something entirely
dlffeient ugaln to cuio Cuturrh of the
Kidneys and of the liluddur.
"All this I have lecoguized and pre.
paied my tieatment accordingly,"
