CHANGES HIS MIND.
Remarkable Conversion of a To
peka Regular Physician.
Dr. g. G. Clarke, q Regular Graduate,
Has Deci ded TO Adopt Prof. Sam
uein' Line of Treatment.

It often happens that the more a
cause is abused the more it prospers.
The fact that there is something to
eriticise proves that there may be also
something to praise. Professor sam
uels believes that the constant hurting

of disease has brought him more bust
ness than any other one thing since ne
began his work.
The latest convert to his mode Of
curing disease is DR.. S. Q. Clarke Of
Topeka, a regular M. d. graduate and
physician of three years experience.
DR. Clarke has made a thorough ex-
animation of the professors mode of
trea tment. besides Investigating a num-
Der of cures effected in Topeka, and
has become thoroughly convinced that
his system has merits possessed - no
other school of medicine, and aftei be
ing convinced he has concluded to do
what any honest man would do-adoDt
the system at once. To a reporter who
called DR.. Clarke made the following
statement:
Yes. with some reluctance I have
concluded to abandon my system of
practice and adopt one which / con-
slider superior to any 1 have heretofore

that led me to look into the professors
work, and the further I went the more
I became interested. Several months
ago Mr.. Harris, an old friend Of mine

and as his age was against him we all
predicted he would be stone blind. In
fact, when I left the town he had laid
his watch away because Of his ina
bility to tell the time of day. Three
months ago I was surprised to meet
him in Topeka and find his sight great

had taken treatment Of Professor Sam
uels, who had made much improve
ment in his sight. OF the next doctor
I met / asked who this man Samueis
was, who remarked:
He is just an ordinary quack down

But this only made me more eager,
and after further inquiry I went over
and called on the professor. He was
unwilling to accept me as convert un-

was NJ S Sales, colored man.
called on all these people and others that
I heard Of and in every case the facts
were even more favorable than he had
represented. But I was particularly
impressed with the Sales case, where
the eyes had been undoubtedly AFFECT
ed with scrofula. Now, every doctor
knows how nearly impossible it is to
handle scrofulous eyes, particularly
when they are so nearly gone as safes
said his were. and to have cured them
as Professor Samuels did seems to me
almost miraculous Another case was
that of a man with a cataract The
only treatment for cataract in any reg
ular school of medicine is to cut it out,
and this must not be done until it is
what we call ripe, which sometimes
takes three years. And if the opera
ton is successful the patient can see
only by the aid of the most complex
glasses, as the removal Of the cataract

was cured and to watch the gradual
absorption Of that growth. and its hnal
disappearance was to me and my pro
fession a new revelation.
Il also examined the case Of man
named Burus at Alb Lake street, who
had suffered several years with severe
commissions brought on by an injured
spine His cure was also complete
and to me quite wonderful These
cases and many others convinced me
that there was merit in the system ana
