Bryan Is in Line.

Mr.. Bryan left the convention hall
a few minutes before the nomination
was made unanimous. but not before he
knew Parker was nominated. To cor
respondents waiting for him at the
hote. he said he had nothing to add
to what he had said in the convention,
which was that he would support any
candidate nominated on the platform
he had assisted in making.
1t may be added that those of a
superstitious turn OF mind may be en-
couTaged by the fact that Parker was

Nine Years of Backache.

Here is the very remarkable story
of a man who had suffered from
lame back for nine years, and had
tried to gain relief through the ordi-
nary medical channels for years with
out any appreciate result. How diff
ferent the result obtained after con-
sulting Prof. Larson, the letter he
writes makes only too plain:
"Salina, Kansas, Feb. 1, 1904.
1.-THE Western Call,
Dear Sir: In answer to your let
ter 1 have had much pleasure in say
ing that I took treatment of Prof. ].
Austin Larson for back trouble from
which I had suffered for nine years. I
had sought the advice of medical ply
sicians for years, but the relief I
gained was only of a temporary nature
and was never permanent. 1 consulted
Prof. J. Austin Larson, who thought
he could cure me, and after taking
the second treatment from him, felt
like new man. 1 am still feeling
fine and his cure think is permanent.
wish before closing, to say that Prof.
Larson has given perfect satisfaction
and that some of his cures seem to be
little less than miraculous. Prof. lar
son has proved himself to be a perfect
gentleman, and as healer he is far
superior to any ] have ever heard
about.

Raised from Sick Bed.

Following is a letter from a woman

I'm answer to your letter of the 10th

swer regarding Prof. ]. Austin Lar
sons work in Salina, will say, his
work here has been successful and
good-so many people were cured in
SO short time. AS for the treat
ments, they are all right. I took
treatments of Prof Larson for heart
trouble, stomach trouble, extreme
nervousness and constipation, and a
soreness in my right side which has
caused me great pain in the past three
years, but which is well now. the
results / have obtained are pcrma-
nent SO far in my case. AS for what
L think of Prof J. Austin Larson as
a man and a healer-as a man he is
a perfect gentleman and an honest
man. You can believe what he says.
Prof. Larson is certainly a great heal

to Prof, Larson and let him treat
you. If he says he can cure you, he
will. Prof. Larson is well spoken of

Benefit Through Difficulties.

The following letter is from a man
who drove twenty-five miles each time
he took a treatment of Prof. Larson.
His trouble was asthma, a disease
which displays its worst features in
the winter and is never benefited by
long, cold drives. In spite of the draw
backs attending his treatments and the
treacherous nature of his trouble, he
obtained benefit and the improvem ent
has continued since stopping the treat
ment. the best possible proof that
where Prof. Larson's treatment takes
hold, Improvement continues until a
cure is effected. In fact, many of his
greatest cures were effected after the
close of. the course of treatments. The
letter follows:

1.-The Daily Call, Beloit, kans.:
Gentlemen took treatment from
Prof. J. Austin Larson for asthma,
am not cured, but was greatly bene-
fitted, and am improving slowly even
now and believe that if l could have
had things arranged more favorably
while taking treatments that he would
have effected a permanent cure. 1
think he did wonderful work in Sa-
lima, but will let others sound his
praise themselves. Respectfully,

took the treatment for a stiff knee,
caused by abscess of the joint, and
afterwards rheumatism set in. In re-
gard to Prof. Larson's work in SaIina,
should judge that he was very sue
cessful in most of cases. As a man
he has been straight with me. As a
healer 1 would not like to make any
comparisons. because L have always
considered the whole lot as fakes,
pure and simple, and since my meet
ing with him the suspicion comes to
me that 1 may have judged the others
too harshly. In regard to my own

oil, l walked over eight miles in the
forenoon and went to town in the
afternoon, none the worse for my trip.
