Chronic Constipation Cured.

This letter is from a young man
employed in the shipping department
of the Lee Hardware company of Sa-
lima:
''Salina, Kas., Dec. IS, 1903.
''I have taken treatment under Prof.
J. Austin Larson for stomach trouble
and constipation, both of long stand
ing. 1 have been constipated since
childhood and to this my stomach
trouble is probably due. During re-
cent years 1 have frequently gone four
or five days without a passage, and
this continued through the period of
my experience in the army as first
sergeant of company C, Twenty-sec-
ond Kansas, Col H. c. Lindsey COM
were troubled with diarrhoea- Since
taking the course of treatments under
Prof. Larson, my bowels are regular
and seldom miss n regular time each
day, which is something remarkable
and has not been the case in four or
five years previously. My stomach is
better also, and l think that if L take
care of myself and follow Prof Lar
sons instructions carefully that L Will
obtain a permanent cure My future
con dition 1 feel depends on myself
very largely. L believe that Prof.
Larson is honest and honorable in all
his business and professional dealings
He does not claim to do miracles, but
! does what he says he can do. L have
no hesitancy in recommending Prof
Larson as a healer, a gentleman and
a business man. Very truly,

seven years standing and have tried
seven doctors without any relief, with
out big dose of salts or pills or drugs
once "a day regular, and it seemed the
longer the worse, until l tried Prof.
Larson and [ have taken no physic
since, and the present indications are
that 1 won't have to, and am proud
of it. A good big tablespoonful OF
before breakfast. My other troubles
were stomach trouble, rheumatism,
sciatic rheumatism and lame back.
My stomach is getting better. My back
is well. In fact / am better all round
than j have been in five years. When
my seventeen treatments were taken,
I did not feel a great deal improved,

better right along and so l did. |

doctors and medicines in the past eight
years. Prof. Larson did not cure ev

any change outside of constipation. If
Prof. Larson ever comes back to Salina

him for he is the best / ever met yet.
and wherever his treatment took hold
it goes ahead.

1.-The Daily Call:
your letter of the 18th of January
is at hand. In answer to your ques-

treatment, will say that L took treat

trouble, neuralgia, nervousness and
numerous complicated troubles AS
