South America. My journey was a
two-fold mission-frst to carry the
gospel to a people who had never
heard it, and second to regain my
health, if possible, amid the arid
hills of Southern atmosphere. My
disease was consumption. I had
been pronounced incurable by lead

of Bright's disease. I also had a
growth in my left side, which some
physicians diagnosed as an enlarge
ment of the spleen, some an ague
case, and others a tumOr. | 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 a long
sea voyage, then railroad journey,
and then nine days wagon journey
over the plains and up into the
mountains, my wife and l reached
Deswisaca. You have all heard me
relate my experience among these
people. In this connection [ would

I took cold and relapsed back to my

was telling the truth.
Twelve years ago, at ranch

copy of the Atlanta, Ca, Constitu-
ton. It was like home to see an
American paper, and I devoured
it's contents with great interest.
What attracted my interest mostly
was an article describing themirac-
ulous cures of a Louisville physi-
clan. In fact they read as much
like miracles as the old time Bible
miracles. This article spoke OF the
cure of Mrs. J. A. Clark. Jonesbo-
70, Ga., of double curvature of the
spine: Miss Mary Lewis, of Calves
ton, Texas, of consumption; of Mrs.
E. E. Omber, Shreveport, La, OF a
malignant fungus growth and tu-
NOR; and of Miss Lidia Head, En-
sor, KY, of Kidney and bronchial
troubles. It mentioned the remark
able cure of fifty people. 49,: 49,,
Now my wife, who is a southern
woman, happened to know Miss
Head, and knew they were among
the most respectable people of the
state. Such was the impression
made upon my wife and myself that
we determined to start Immediately
to Louisville, and see by the help
of God if that great healer could
help me. 1t was on the ninth day
of December, 1895, that I reached
the Office Of DR.. Rea, who is presi-
dent Of the Southern Medical and
Surgical Institute, Louisville, KY,
i was nearer a dead man than live
one. found the doctor busy, with
about fifty people waiting to see
him. He was also preparing to
make professional trip to Texas.
AS soon as entered the presence
of DR.. Rea, he told memy exact con-
dition and how had been for years
better than could have told him.
I knew was in the presence of a
great man, and one who was master
of his profession. I felt before he
had given his opinion that I would
get we'll. I felt that his work was
Gods work and that God was with
him. My blood had almost turned
to water, my limbs we're swelled to
almost the size of my body, my
cough was very severe, and my left
lung was badly affected. DR.. Rea
gave his opinion that the chances
were greater that I should get we'll
than that I should not, and that by
the help of God he would save me
if he could. You can't imagine what
life these words gave me, for I had
been told the day before by two
prominent physicians in Cincinnati,
that I could not get well. I was
under DR.. Rea's treatment about
six months and have just been dis
missed by him as cured, tumors all
gone, cured of Bright's disease,
lungs cured, and feel like a new
man.
My wife has recently visited To-
wa, and there learned some of the
most remarkable cures. Mrs. Jane
Smith, Bonaparte, Iowa, cured by
DR.. Rea, of cancer of the stomach
and of fungus cancer tumor of the
womb, after the best physicians in
the state had pronounced the case
