The Story Of His LIE,

Doctor Bycrs was horn Of Quaker parcntagc,
and during the early part OF his life he was under
the influence Of that religious denomination. From
carly childhood the whole tenor Of his mind
seemed to be in the direction Of relieving the
sick. 1t might be stated broadly that he was
born physician, and those natural qualities which
go to make up all that is necessary TO produce
a successful physician were born in him.
The Power Of Healing which he now possesses
was first noticed by members Of his own family
and this Power has developed and grown stronger
as he has grown older.
Realizing that natural gift could be improved
upon by dlgcnt study and research. he entered
the Jefferson Medical college, OF Philadelphia,
and graduated with honor lie also attended the
various hospitals and clinics in Philadelphia, in
GLIDING the Pennsylvania Hospital for Acute and
Surgical Diseases, the Blocklcy Hospital for Skin
and Ear Diseases and the clinics Of Professor j.
Soils Cohen for Diseases Of the Throat.
THUS it will be seen that Doctor Byers possesses
the rare combination of the Power to Heal. to-
gethcr with the most careful medical training.
While at college he was constantly making orig
nal research, and knowing that the human body
was made up Of minute cells, lie discovered that
disease was caused by the dsorganization OF these
cells and by restoring the cell life to its natural
function the disease was entirely eradicated.
Doctor Byers is man Of ample means, and is
very averse to- notorety. lie is an educated
physician with Rare Gift He desires to do all
the good lie can.
He has never been known to re-
tain a fee where he has failed to
benefit the patient.

the Work of the Forty Hours" was
preached by the Rev. John H. Holmes.
The Holy Rosary choir assisted by
Miss Margaret Thornton and Mrs. John
Lynch, and under the direction of
Miss Libbie Neary, repeated the Easter

John O'Donnell, of Olyphant, followed
by the benediction of the most blessed
sacrament.

Doctor Bysls' Vast Experience

Doctor Byers' enormous experience in treating
the sick, together with his natural Gift of Heal.
ing, renders him capable of doing many things
that would be considered impossible by othcs
physicians. No physician in Pennsylvania, no
matter how mature his years or how great his
experience, has treated onc-tentl OF the nur'ar
of cases that he has. Doctor Byers has always
maintained that very few physicians. however
well trained in their profession, are qualified by
nature to treat the afflicted. lie always protest
ed against the enormous fees asked by most phys
icians, and considers them heartlcss and mer-
cenary He las always protested against the
monthly.payment idea practiced by some phys
icians, who keep their patients month alter
month, each month supposed to be the last, until
finally they have paid hundreds OF dollars without
any benefit relief.
Doctor Byers considers it the duty
of a physician, where he has failed
to benefit the patient, to return the
fee paid.
All business is conducted on such principles,
and why not medicine? When person pays for
a thing, he expects and is justly entitled to get
value received,

Why PHYSICIANS Fail TO Cure.

The reason that physicians have failed to cure
In the past is because they have not understood
the true cause Of disease. They have cmprically'
given remedies because they have been told by
others or have read in medical works that such
and such remedy was good for such and such
disease This is theory based on a wrong foun.
dation. All disease Is due to disorganization OF
cell life, and when the cell life Is restored to its
natural condition, health Is the result.
