AS the doctor has no advertising ex-
cept the testimony of his patients, his
fame spreads gradually. Nearly every
one who comes knows of a cure that
has been made. He witnesses other
cures or experiences one himself, ami
goes home to interest new people. All
chronic diseases are treated except can
Ger of the stomach. The doctors most
talked-of successes have been with
rheumatism, epilepsy and nervous af-
fectiOns.
He has hundreds of letters testifying
to the discarding of crutches, the resto-
ration of health from years of invalid
and painful existence, and the ability
to resume wonted tasks after long in
capacity. AS most of the patients re-
main but Il short time, and the healing
is wrought not by an instantaneous act
of faith, but by the medicine taken, the
cures are not generally witnessed at
Epiphany, but they are distributed
widely and each one causes a fresh in
f1ux of searchers for the boon Of health.
1t is this condition which is causing
the great and steady increase of pa
tients. About four hundred are now

The idea of faith cure associated with
DR.. Kroeger is erroneous. He makes no
claim to do more than administer good
medicine. He is as much opposed to
what is known as faith cure as more
regular practitioners. Yet to see the
patients one would readily believe
there is sufficient faith to accomplish
almost anything.
