SOME FACTS
That Should Cause the InteIIi-
gent to Think Seriously.
Cures That Would Have Been Consid-
cred Miracles in the o1den Times
Now Performed by Skill

The great cures Professor Samuels
has wrought by treatment of the eyes
would in older times have been attrib-
uted to miracles rather than skill. Sever
al years ago when the attention of the
public was called to these cures, the
doctors all over the country as well as
in Topeka claimed that this work would
be only temporary-that people would
find out their mistake and come back to
the regular M. DIS.
AS it was to the interest of the reg
ular doctors to keep people away from
Professor Samuels they used what in
fiuence they had in that direction; and
of course, a doctors influence with his
patient is very great. Many of these
doctors are perfectly honest in their
opposition to Professor Samuels simply
because they do not take the time and
pains to investigate. AS a prominent
Topeka doctor said in a lecture a few
months ago, the doctors are in the
dark and appear to wish to be kept
there
We will here again mention the names
of a few who have been cured by Pro-
fessor Samuels:
Samuel Burns now lives at 41S Lake
street, and is a prominent member of
the A. o. U. w, in Topeka. He had
suffered several years with diseased
spine which had become so bad that he
was having the most severe spasms al
most every hour of the day. Seven of
the leading doctors of Topeka had at
tended him and all agreed that he could
live but a few weeks. Through Profess
sor Samuels' skill he has recovered and
is now enjoying the best of health This
cure was effected three and one-halt
years ago and was done entirely through
the eyes.
William Foster, who lives at Pauline,
in this county and who had cataract
in an advanced stage of development,
was made to see by the simple drop
ping of medicine into the eyes. Doctors
told him that he would soon be blind.
That was over three years ago, and ne
still sees clearly.
Catarrh is a disease which doctors
claim is incurable yet Professor Sam
uels cured Mrs. Crouch, a dressmaker
residing at 1890 Polk street. She had
been a sufferer for many years, and al
though she treated only three months
two years ago, she was entirely cured
and has felt no signs of its return since.
The usual remedies used for catarrh
give only temporary relief, the disease
returning as bad as before the first
time one catches cold. Many more
cures equally wonderful could be men
toned right here in Topeka
Professor SamuelS wishes the pupnc
to understand and remember that he
treats and cures any case of Bright's
disease where the disease has not al
vanced so far that the patient is nearly
dead Another thing with which Pro-
lessor Samuels has to contend is the
fact that the medical men assert that
a remedy which is strong enough TO
to the ewes. In view of these misrepre-
sensations he offers to give any one two
hundred dollars who will prove that
his remedies have injured anyone's
His rooms are at COG Kansas avenue,

DIVIDED THE FAMILY.
A Syracuse Court Settles a Domestic
Row.

Syracuse, N. Y, Oct. ga race
across the continent by John S. Vosburg
and his wife Kate, resulted today in a
compromise decision by d. E. Petit, the
referee appointed to adjust the difficulty
between man and wife.
It appears that last spring Mr.. Vos-
burg became angry at his father in-Iaw
J. s. Slauson, the Los Angeles banker,
and left his home, taking two of his
three boys with him. He settled near
his old home in this state and a short
time ago returned to Los Angeles to
make efforts to induce his wife to live
with him and away from her fathers
influence. Mrs. Vosburg took advant-
age OF Vosburg's presence in California
by taking the first train with her father
Tor the east with the apparent purpose
of securing her two boys.
Vosburg learned of her departure and
followed "a hours later, first telegraph
ing his relatives to take care of the
boys. When Mrs. Vosburg arrived here
she procured a writ of habeas corpus
and the boys were produced in court.
Testimony was presented on both sides
with a view to showing whether he or
she was proper custodian of the chill
dren. The referee finds that neither the
father nor mother is morally bad and
gives the Oldest boy to the father and
the youngest to the mother.

book ought to contain the rating of ev-
