| There is modest home and also an Of
! flee near by set among flowers and trees
| on North st. Francis avenue in the city
of Wichita where for many years wonder
| full transformations from misery to hap
| piness have been of daily occurrence.
| Many an invalid pronounced incurable
/ by some physicians of high standing has
found a healing power for his affection
and many who have had no hope held
out TO them except through the surgeon
knife, have found easy relief at the hands
of Il physician who did not nearly kill to
cure, left 10 scar nor traces of lost vital
ity upon returning to friends and home.
DR.. =. w. Petry, who owns the home and
keeps the office near by, is one OF the
greatest healers of modern times. He is
man of great vitality, physical endur
ance and although he has administered
his healing power to thousands during
the last twelve years he is still in the full
vigor of youthful manhood.
No Surgical Operations or Drugs.
A few years ago no such disease as APP
pendicitis was known. When person
has severe pain anywhere in the ahdo-
men row, doctor is Immediately called.
He performs an operation, ana II the. pa
tfent lives, it is called wonderful TIL
umph. If the patient dies, nothing is
said But the day of so mary surgical
operations is passing. Appendicitis can
be cured without a surgical operation.
DIR. Petry is curing many cases every
year. -
Some time since a reporter was driving
past the Doctors beautiful residence at
1920 North St. -Frahcis..' and his attention
was attracted by number OF rigs in
front DR.. Petry's Office. just south of
his residence 4 number of people were
sitting in his office. He being busy treat
ing his PATIENTS the reporter stroiled
about his place, and at the corner just
south of his office. converseds with Mrs.
Letitia Bartlett and her mother, who then
resided there. Dr.. Petry needs no stronger
testimonial than these women give. Mrs
Bartlett is a dressmaker and formerly
lived with her mother-the first house
south of DIR. Petry,s office. Three years
ago last March. Mrs Bartlett was taken
with appendicitis. She was treated by
her regular physician and a number of
other prominent physicians, who advised
her that an operation be performed, IL
forming her that she might rot hone
for recovery until an operation was per-
formed. and as she was not financially /
able to 90 to the hospital and undergo
the operation, her regular physician made
arrangements whereby she would be at
no expense on account of the surgical
operation. But fearing the worst. MIS-.
Bartlett refused the offer and finally de-
cided to try DR. Petry. She was taken
to his Office after being confined to her
bed for five weeks. during which tine she
suffered greatly She was skeptical and
could not believe tint Or. Petty could
cure her without the aid OF any medicine
after so many physicians had failed. bat
as a Lass resort she decided 10 try Wich-

Mrs. bartlett and her mother stated that
they considered that Dr. Petry saved her
life. But really the most Interesting part
