Indians of South America and re
turned alive, It was Professor
Wevcof who planted christianity
amid these fierce people and made
minister out of Zoreff, the nan
eater and chief of the savages.
"Eight years ago." SAID the pro.
lessor to a gathering of friends at
the Allyn hou.e, 81 resigned my
lucrative profc orship and set sail
sor South Am.iica' NV journey
was two fold mIssion-frst, to
carry the gospel to a people who
had never heard it, and second to
regain my health if possible among
the arid hills of southern atmos
phere. My disease was consump-
tion; I had been pronounced IN
durable by physicians of the east.
Analysis by DR.. Agnev of Phila-
delphla showed that I was in the
early stage of Bright's disease. I
also had a growth in my left side
which some physicians diagnosed
as an enlargement of the pleen,
some an ague case and others a
tumor. I was told that any one of
the troubles would prove fatal
within a year, and that there was
no cure for me IN the known world
After long sea voyage, then a
railroad journey, and then a nine
day wagon journey ovea the plains
and up the mountains, my wife
and I reached Desw1saca. You
have all heard me relate my expe
rience among these people, l large
lv recovered from my lung and kid
nev troubles. The tumor, howev
er, continued to grow. Two years
ago took cold and relapsed back
to my original condition. The
medicine man gravely informed
me that I was a
dead aoh5te man,
and I felt that for once in his life
be was telling the truth.
Twelve months ago, at ranch
mans hut a few miles from Des
wisaca, CHANGED to come across 6
copy of the Atlanta, Ga. Constltu
ton 1t was like home to see an
American newspaper, and I dovoul
ed Its contents with great interest
What attracted my attention most
was an article describing the mi
raculous cures of Louisville ply
STEFAN In fact they read as much
like miracles as old time Bible
miracles These articles spoke o.
the cure of Mrs. J A Clark, Jones
boro, Ga of double curvature o.

ton, Texas Of consumption; Mrs
G E Omber, Shreveport, La, O.
malignant tangus growth and tn
NOR; and of Miss Head, Ensor, Ky
of kidney and bronchial troubles
It mentioned the remarE able cure:
of fifty people.
Now, nv wife, who is a south
ern woman, happened to know
Miss Head and knew they were
among the most respect ul people
In the state. Such was the imprei
sion made upon my wife and my
self that we determ med to start IN
medlatelY to Lou. isville and see i
that great healer could help me.
