MORE EVIDENCE
Prof. SamuelS Continues His Coed
Work Of Relieving Distress.
A Little Girl Saved From a Painful
Operation, Which Might Have
Resulted Seriously.

The evidence continues to accumulate
that Prof. Samuels is great beuefactor
to suffering humanity. People who once
called him a quack are now going to
him 10 be treated. Every time he cures
patient he sets more tongues to talking
of his wonderful work. When a man in
any profession can always get the best
endorsements from people who have
tried him and who know him best, he
can rest assured that his efforts are sue
cessful The facts of the case related
below will be doubted by some people
who have too much prejudice to investi
gate for themselves or to believe what
vouched for by any of the neighbors,
one of whom is E. 81. Cockerell,
clerk of the district court of this
county. mir. W. Fl. Ables and wife live in
Mission township, nine miles southwest
of Topeka. There family consists of an
only daughter, who is now about twelve
years old. But she was born unfortu-
nate and has been an invalid all her life.
Being blind, her parents decided about
two years ago to send her to the state in
stitution for the blind at Kansas City to
be educated. After she had been there
but 4 short time, they were informed by
letter from the attending physician at
the school that it would be useless for
her to remain there longer unless they
were willing to have an operation per
formed. She was so nervous he said,
and her mind was so effected that unless
an incission was made through the skull
and the pressure on the brain relieved
they would better take her home. After
discussing the matter the parents con-
. cluded not to risk the operation and con-
sequently had to take her from school.
Having often heard of Prof. Samuels
and his skill, they concluded to give him
a trial and brought their daughter to see
him about two months ago. Her condi-
ton was such as to discourage any ply
stefan from undertaking the case Her
hands and srms were in a constant shake
like one txlicted with ST. Vitus' dance:
her head was unsteady and her sightless
eyes were constantly rolling in their
sockets; one limb and arm and one side
of the body were perfectly cold and par
TALLY lifeless; the foam was collecting
and falling from her mouth and her
mind was also much effected.
They told Prof Samuels that if he
could cure or even benefit her within
year they would be satisfied. He took
the case, believing he could cure her.
AS she was entirely blind and no result
could be obtained by using glasses, the
treatment was conducted solely by the
use of the medicine through the eyes.
And from the first day rapid
and decided Improvement was
noticeable. Last week the case was dis
missed as cured and these ia probably
not happier family in Shawnee county
today than this little one of three mem
bers. When the girl left the professors
office the last time she was as bright
mentally as any girl in Topeka aud is
learning to read quite rapidly by means
of her raised letters The body was tested
and the temperature found to be the
Sam6 on each side. the hands were
steady and under perfect control; the
eyes and head had a natural and easy
movement, and the girl was perfectly
well. The last thing her mother did was
to thank the professor and to assure him
of their lasting gratitude.
