said was gail stones. In fact he had
been operated upon last year by the
surgeons at St IS hospital, but
after the cutting weS done no trace OF
Sall stones could b found, and the
,hagrlned surgeons had incurred All
langer and risk for nothing. Simply
iidn't understand tho case. Mr.. Morris
was afflicted very uch like Mr.. John
Roland whose case was reported IN
this paper some time ago. The doctors
thought Mr.. Boland had appendicitis.
but he had nothing OF the kind. kharaS
saved him from an operation. Mr MOT
ris had an operation performed last
ear before he heard Of Kharas. After
yards he suffered continually for year
until he came to Kkaras through the
efforts of some Of Kharas' patients. de
was in Omaha only few days when
he went home sound and well. AFTER
being at home several weeks he wrote
Prof. Kharas. highly endorsing his
method and treatment, saying ne NC
nad no indication of return.
Mrs. Baldwin, a bankers WlIe Oh
ump in her throat, and no doctor OF
medicine could give her relief, and her
:ase was getting desperate. Her father
lad been cured of paralysis by ProI

aer neck had for some reason enlarged.
producing q nervous tension Wnlch
caused a constant contraction OF mus
cles in the throat in such q way as 10
appear like a lump, though what the
doctors had said was lump was ne
lump at all. He cured Mrs. Baldwin in
twenty minutes.
Mr.. A. w. Kicker, a lecturer or con-
siderable prominence of Lone Tree, Ia,
went to Kharas for treatment for stom-
ach trouble of seven years standing
He was cured In a week, and is now
taking the Kharas course IN Magnetic
