the personal supervision and treatment
of Dr. Whitman:
Dr.. c. II. Whitman: My Dear Friend.
In response to your kind offer to trea:
any phthisical persons in whom l felt
personal interest, ], as an experiment,
commended to you, about sixteen
months ago, DR.. A. G. Smith. whose con-
SumptiVe condition it did not take Il
| professional to read.
He called OF me today and is, so far a
| non professional mind can discern, en-
tirely free from any symptoms Of con-
sumption which were so plainly ap-
parent six weeks ago The doctor be-
lieves himself to be cured. and tells me
that it Is entirely due to your improved
Tuberculin' trea tment.
My own opinion is worth nothing pro-
fessionally, but as a layman, urder-
e.tl no1x 1r-l,o ,t.I
ances indicate, the charge wrought in
my friend within the brief period of six
weeks seems marvellous, and I owe 1t 70
you to say so, and to thank you for the
personal Kindness to me and to my suf-
fering friends.
Your grateful friend,
(Signed) JOHN A. B. WILSON.
The accompanying testim is from
the physician mentioned in the above
letter. who thus voluntarily gives credit
to the experience and skill of DR.. Whit
man. who made the only examinations
and principally administered the treat
ment:
1922 Angelina street, Los Angeles July
21st, 1896.
Although a medical practitioner my
self, l suffered from consumption for
nine years. Under successive trials of
various remedies and treatments 1 ex-
perienced alternate periods of improve
ment ari decline, but in the end Il
steadily increasing decline was evident
The benefits of the different climates
Were tried, and the advice of several
prominent brother physicians sought,
but all to no purpose as to permanent
gain. Cough, eXpectora ton, fever, night
sweats, occasional slight hemorrhases,
loss of weight and weakness seemed to
have settled upon me-
BY happy chance, and practically a
q. 'dernier resort" / was induced to try
your Improved Tuberculin" treatment.
and today after just thirty-one treat
ments during eight weeks time l am i'm
proved to an extent almost incredible
The disease is entirely arrested and the
processes of destruction carried on in my
system for nine long years have been
, thoroughly checked in the short space OF
eight weeks, and nearly all the sytmp-
toms have disappeared.
l cannot say too much in favor of
your Improved Tuberculin' treatment.
nor urge too strongly any one afflicted
with tuberculosis to begin treatment,
ard I do not only inGorse the treat
ment, but also heartily recommend to
all persons the skill and experience of
Drs. Ballard and Whitman, who admin
istered the treatment. Sincerely and
fraternally yours.
