Remarkable Experience of j.. G.
WorraII of Near Hoisington
PRAISES PROF. LARSON.
Great Healer is Also Bene6ting
Him in Other Ways

I've pretty near got the worth OF
the money I have spent with Prof.
Larson back already" remarked J. G..
Worrall, who lives four miles west OF
Hoisington, to friend the other day.
"How is that?" queried a reporter
who was standing near.
"Well, you see, for fifteen years /
have been troubled with deafness, -
but today can enjoy a conversation
because can hear so much better. ]

my hearing so much until got out on

SIS that what you were treated
for?" asked the reporter.
"Yes" was the reply, that and a
pain In side that has bothered me fol-
four years. The pain is growing bet
ter and I'm getting my moneys
worth.''
Mr.. Worran is a man seventy years
old, has lived in Barton county for
thirty. The results he has obtained
under Prof. Larson's drugless treat
ment are, to say the least, phenomen-
al.
This great healer is certainly sus-
tanning the reputation he has earned
elsewhere in Kansas in Great Bend,
not only in getting such wonderful
result among his patients, but also in
refusing to treat cases that he felt
could not be reached under his treat
ment in the time he has to dovote to

HEALING MIRACLE
IN GREAT BEND.
Marvellous Transformation of
Mrs. C. R. Allen.
NOW Is CLEAR MINDED.
"She's a New Woman" Declares
the Delighted Husband.
NOW Is CLEAR MINDED.

Prof. J. Austin Larson, the natural
magnetic healer, has given many dem
Onstrations Of his wonderful power ov-
er disease throughout Kansas, but no
case has had more to do with convinc-
ing the people of Barton county that
he is one of the greatest living healers
than the marvellous transformation of
Mrs. @. r. Allen from a nervous
wreck to a clear minded woman, in
three treatments.
s'She's 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. I
confess, I didn't believe anything in
this treatment, but I'm glad to find
that was wrong. The good Prof.
Larson has done my wife is cheap at
any price"
I'm feeling fine," Mrs. Allen re-
piled to question from the reporter.
My trouble started about the first of
September when my child was born.

otherwise. My Imagination seemed
to run away with me. Now am all
right.''

Of the headache and am just feeling
fine. My stomach is better, also and
the heavy sensation lthat I used to
feel there is gone. Then, too, I've
had some satisfaction in eating a
hearty meal since beginning the treat
ment and my bowels are less consti-
pated. In fact, I have felt better in
every way all week. Prof. Larson's
treatment is certainly reaching my
case.
Mr.. Ulsh has lived In Barton coun-
ty since 1878 and his host of friends
are rejoicing with him in his good
luck in finding man whose power is
sufficient to turn him toward the
beautiful sunrise OF perfect health.

GREAT WORK EVERYWHERE.

These cures are not exceptions but
simply examples of what this man
and his assistant, Prof. w. T. Wells,
have been doing in every town where
they have had offices. The same mar
velous results are in store for you If
place yourself under this mans care.
Don't delay. The opportunity for
you to begin treatment will be yours
but short time. If you need his
help see him at once.

to travel with my wife," supplement-
ed Mr.. Allen, ''but now see that it
won't be necessary
''That will cheat you out OF your
trip" the reporter suggested to Mrs.
Allen.
''I 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
nging 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: Il
was in awful shape when I went to
Prof. Larson, a nervous wreck. Un-
der the course of treatments I was
cured. Now I'm feeling better than
1 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 Gag er to pen his praises year
after completing the treatment.
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen live twelve
miles north of Hoisington and the
former has lived in Barton county for

The High School.

We want a High School in Great
Bend. Some people think we can
afford to build a nice new one. others
think the Morrison House would be
just the thing, as it can be bought at
a very low price, and fixed up so
cheaply that the tax payers would
never feel it.
If they don't get it for a High
School, they ought to get it for City
Hall, and get it now, while it is cheap
and before it goes to ruin, and while
we think about it, let US call your at
tention to the fact that life is worth
living if you make it so. and you can
make 1t so if you devote little time
and effort to it, and make your life,

L.. A.im.. o. Trait Of sser,..

Some of our people seem to be
working under considerable excite
ment the past few days on the
question OF "Shall Gambling be
Prohibited?" This little diversion
has been INDUCED in on the sly
and openly in Las Animas for
thirty years or more, and num-
Der of citizens think the. tiger has
had his day and should be hogtied
and his claws clipped off close.
Sunday morning at Smiley's big
tent meeting round robin petit
ton to the board of trustees was
presented to the large audience for
signatures. II was signed by
many and during the day following
many more names were added.
This petition will be presented to
the trustees at an. ear6 meeting
and it will ask the gentlemen on
the board to see that the ordinance
prohibiting gambling be enforced.

oveks sWa brakes.

The following is a boys essay
on the duck. The duck is . low
heavy set bird, composed mostly
OF meat and feathers. He is a
mighty poor singer, having a
hoarse voice caused by getting so
many frogs in his neck. He likes
the water, carries toy balloon in
his stomach, which fills with air
on going in swimming over his
head, to keep from sinking. He
can quack loud. but cant sing a
little bit. Some doctors are called
quacks because they are such cheap
ducks. The duck has only two
legs, and they are set so far back
on his running gears by nature
that she came purity near missing
his boiy. A quack doctor has
only two legs but they are fastened
on his body low down. His bill is
not as broad as . ducks, but heap
longer and harder to pay. Some
ducks wben they get big have curls
on their tails and are called brakes.
Dr1kes don't have to set nor hatch,
but just loaf, 60 in swimming and
eat. II | was going to be a duck.
Id rather be a drake every time
