HEALING MIRACLE
IN GREAT BEND
Marvellous Transformation OF
Mrs G. r. Allen.
NOW is CLEAR MINDED
'She's a New Woman" Declares the
Delighted Husband.

magnetic healer, has given many
demonstrations of his wonderful
power over disease throughout Kan
sas, but no case has had more to do
with convincing the people of Barton
county that he is one of the greatest
living healers than the marvellous
transformation of Mrs. c. r. Allen
from nervous wreck to a clear
minded woman, in three treatments.
"She's a new woman" Mr.. Allen
declared to reporter with irrepres-
sible enthusiasm. ''You can't imagine
the change that has come over her in
the past two weeks if you did not
know her condition before. Her
nerves were all gone; she had no con
troll over herself; she cried all the
time; she imagined all sorts of things.
Now she isn't the same woman. 1
confess, I didn't believe anything in
this treatment, but I'm glad to find
that I was wrong. The good Prof.
Larson has done my wife is cheap at
any price,"
"I'm feeling fine" Mrs. Allen re-
piled to a question from the reporter.
"My trouble started about the first of
September when my child was born.
I got stronger physically, but not
otherwise. My Imagination seemed
to run away with me. Now I am all
right"
THE doctors told me 1 would have
to travel with my wife," supplemented
Mr.. Allen, "but now 1 see that it
won't be necessary" -. -
"That will cheat you out of your
trip" the reporter suggested to Mrs.
Allen.
II guess it WILL" was her laughing
reply.
Mr.. Allen says that he noticed the
improvement in his wife's condition
after the first treatment. Before
bringing her to Prof. Larson he wrote
to Miss Myrtle Phillips, at Bavaria,
Saline county, Kansas, who was
brought to Prof. Larson in a mentally
unbalanced condition, last December,
Miss Phillips wrote as follows: 81
was in awful shape when I went to
Prof. Larson, a nervous wreck. I'm
der the course of treatments I was
cured. Now I'm feeling better than
l ever did and am enjoying perfect
health" This case convinced him
not only of Prof. Larson's phenome-
nal power, but also that his cures are
lasting. A man certainly has great
mission in life who can perform such
marvellous cures and whose patients
are so eager to pen his praises year
after completing the treatment.
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen. live twelve

any of them. The special train arriv-
