prevail. One of the popular errors Is
that the deaf child Is placed ln school
mainly to Ieam what Is called the slgT
language, when the real object Is that
the child may be taught to read and
wilte like other people. Tho teacher
uses pictorial or descriptive signs to
make clear the meaning of written
words ns a means of impressing tho
English language upon the pupil's
mind.
Beginning In a small way In lS50-.ln
New York city, this "silent" work of
the Episcopal church has spread to ev
ery large city and Important center of
the Union. It reached the middle west
In IS".", when the Rev. Mr. Mann be
gan with a lay reader's license. Mr.
Mann Is the second deaf mute ever ad
mitted to tho ministry. In 187." he
founded All Angels' mission In Chlcaco
at St. James' church, but now lotd
In Trlnltv parish house. During his
long period of service he has made
ln the aggregate SOO annual reports to
tho bishops In whose dioceses the work
Is belnir carried on: baa written -10 000
i ietters and postal cards and distributed
neatly 10,000 prayer books nnd ns many
tracts, and has gathered Into the
church about TOO communicants, He has
held services in 293 places.
Mr. Mnnn'H territory cover Ohio,
Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota and
Pennsylvania. In preaching In the nils
slors In tho cities of these states he
travels 25.000 miles each year and man
ages to deliver a sermon about once
every month In each p'ace. Ills horn
Is In Oambler, Ohio, but nt least one
half of his llfo has been spent on sleep
Ing cars. Mr, Mann la possrssfd of a
strong mind, wonderful energy and
splendid physique. Even to thoso who
aro not familiar with the sign lansruago
h Is fnselnatl"g and lntercs'lng. With
his pencil he Is a clever convcrsitlon
allst. Ho rends what ono Is writing to
him while the characters nra up'de
down to himself. This he does rapidly
and with a penmanship as plain ns
that of a copy book.
Mr. Mann has a wife aid tVo inter
esting children. Mrs. Mann Is also
found out a great manv things by ex
perience. I think I have done bo.
"Ono of tho things I have found
out to my entire satisfaction is the
propor remedy for ailments that aro
duo directly to the effects of the cli
mate. For 111 years I have with
stood the changeable climate of the
United States.
"I have always been n, very healthy
man, but of course subject to the lit
tie affections which aro due to sudden
changes In the climate and tempera
ture. Dining my long life I hav
known a great many remedies for
coughs, colds, catarrh nnd filnrrhoea.
"I had alwavs supposed these nftec
tlons to be different dNcas'ea. For tho
last ten or 'lfteen years I have been
rending Dr. Hartman's writings. I
have ienrned much from bis books,
one thing in particular: That thess
affections, nre the lamp nnd that thay
are properly caned catarrh.
"As for Dr. Hartman's remedy,
Pe-ru-na, I have found It to be tho
best, If not tho only, reliable remedy
for these affections. It lias been
ray standby for many years and I
attribute my good health and ex
treme old uge to this remedy.
"It exactly moots all my require
ments. It protects me from tho evil
effects of sudden changes, it keeps
me In good appetite: it gives mo
strength; It keeps my blood In goofl
circulation. I nave como to reiy upon
It almost entirely for the many little
things for which I need medicine.
"I believe It to bo valuable to old
people, although I have no doubt It Is
Just ns good for the young. I should
bo glad If my sincere testimony should
become the means of others using this
remedy, because I believe it to be tho
greatest remedy of this age for ca
tarrhal diseases.
"When epidemics of la grippe first
began to make their appearance in this
country I was a sufferer from this
disease.
''I had several long sieges with the
grippe. Ac first I did not know that
Pe-ru-na was a remedy for this dis
eases. When I heard that la grippe
wa3 epidemic catarrh, I tried Pe-ru-na
for la grippe and found It to bo
just the thing.
"It has savpd mo several times from
a siege ' f the grippe. I feci perfectly
1 sate from this terrible malady so long-
"" " ";,,",,u,"il "- " "ruv ".'
Mint Pin I I .ntvii n m tvli.tt 1 I t r. n Vii - M
that Dr. Hartman may live to be a.i
old as T am, to continue the pood work
of teaching the people the value of hls
great lcmedy, Pe-ru-na.
"Very truly yours,
