UNIQUE TRIBUTE TO DR..
CRRSON'S SKILL

DR.. Carson has lived in Kansas City
for more than a quarter Of a century,
and the writer could ill an entire edi-
ton of this journal if half the testi-
monials on file in his Office were re-
produced here. The stories told in
these testimonials often bear evidence
of gratefulness for a new hope in life
and freedom of pain for those who
had known no rest for years.
In this connection the writer can
not refrain from telling of what he
personally witnessed at a banquet
rendered DR.. Carson at the Coats
house in Kansas City not long ago.
Dr.. Carson was the guest of honor at
the banquet and covers were laid for
IFS others. All but a half dozen of
those in attendance were former pa
tents of the doctors.
When in the course of the evening
twenty of the guests recited stories of
what DR.. Carson had done for each
Individual speaker, it is doubtful if in

The Temple of Health is one of the
most notable institutions Of healing in

rock OF refuge for sufferers from all
parts Of the world, from England and

rich and poor men and women and
children, they have gone to the Temple
almost with the faith of those who
went to the Nazarene In the century
long ago, and they have been healed.
Women who were about to be
robbed by the surgeons knife of the
noble privilege of motherhood have
gone there for help and have told
their pitiable stories of malpractice, of
troubles misunderstood, of reckless op-
erations, and afterward they have
been saved and sent home to sit in the
happy circle that God intended them
to grace.
Men have. gone to the Temple to

No such institution was ever attempt

Psychic sarcoIogy was organized and
duly incorporated under the philan-

The school of Vital Science is a
branch of the College of Psychic sar-

healing diseases without the use Of
drugs. medicines or operative surgery.
The time required with this course of
study will occupy one year from the
time of beginning, and the cost of

MOST COMFORTING THOUGHT
Some Well-KnOwn Men Talk on
Interesting Experiences.

Out Of the genesis OF human suffer
ing came the belief that somewhere in
the untrodden recesses of the universe
was hidden a panacea for all bodily
aniction. Centuries before modern
science had defined the causes and
treatment of disease bands OF daring
Adventures penetrated into vet IN
known paths seeking the Fountain of
Life, whose mysterious waters would
make suffering humanity whole
Chemists Iabored over their crucibles
to discover the magic potion that
would restore the wasted tissue and
safeguard the body against the en-
oroachments of sickness and decay.
Many a life was sacrificed in this
futile quest. but the hidden waters
were never revealed to human eyes,
and ages of research failed to discover
the magic potion. 1t was left to sci
ence to bring the boon that nature re-
fused to grant and offer to the world
the priceless boon of healing.
What Ponce de Leon and his daring
associates failed to md in the dense
morasses and tangled swamps of the
fering have sought and found in the
Kansas City institution which forms
the subject of this page. Here is no
magic and no mystery. But over 1907
600 grateful people can testify to the
marvellous cures wrought by Dr. c. H.
Carson at his Temple of Health at
Twelfth and Washington streets in
Kansas City. They have been carried
in on stretchers and walked out buoy
ant in the consciousness of strength
restored. They have entered on
crutohes and cast them aside forever.
They have come with hearts heavy
with despair and gone away with
strength and courage renewed.
What mind can measure what this
institution has done for humanity ?
Men have been crowned as heroes
who have saved a dozen lives. But
what of man who has saved his
thousands and who is saving others
every day?
Only those who are personally IA
miliar with the wonderful results of
DR.. Carson's treatment can compre-
bend what it means to humanity.
Diseases that battle the skill of the or
binary physician are here treated with
the certainty of success. Hundreds of
men and women have come to DR..

ing in their ears and are now bearing
their share of TIE worlds burdens and

bright and happy and has dispelled
the clouds from many formerly
gloomy home, is DR.. Carson.
Years ago, when Dr. Carson began
his Vital treatment in Kansas City, the
scOffers offered their jibes, refusing to
believe that health could be restored
to the afflicted without the use Of
drastic medicines or the surgeon 8
knife. It was the kind of fanatical
unbehef that fought the death-dealing,
blood-letting remedies OF the early
medical practitioners
The systems of children in arms
were drenched with the drastic med
fcines that even age found it difficult
to cope with. and in serious cases OPP
erations were performed that snuhed
out little lives with the regularity of
cI0ckwork. Then the physician, look
ing upon the little piece of clay, which
had futtered so short a time upon the
threshold of life, would sententiously
remark to the grief-stricken parents:
1T was to be. No power on earth
could have saved your child
But DR.. Carson says differently. He
not only says So he proves he is right
by performing cures that in earlier
centuries would have been deemed
miracles. And they really are modern
miracles, for who besides this man
with his wonderful power could with
out the aid of medicines restore 10
rosy rOmping health, the puny, feeble
infant who has never walked from
birth because of a congenital affection
of the spine2
Yet such cures as this and many
others as effective and lasting have
been performed and the proof is to be
found in thousands of homes where
laughing, bright-eyed children bear
the best Of testimony to the efficacy of
DR.. Carson's method Of treatment.
Not alone children, but men and
women in every walk of life, have
reason to bless the Temple of Health.
Many had almost given up hope when
they went to DR.. Carson. Some had
gone to foreign countries in search of
the strength that had forsaken them,
and after weeks or months or years
of doctoring had given themselves up
for lost However, in the Temple OF
Health there is no such word as de
spair." and DR.. Carson knows no such
word as t'fail."
To him have come the haTr and the
lame and the manned and to them all
he has said st can" What is infinitely
better, he has; and the good words
that have been, are being spoken OF

to whom he has given renewed life and

Among the remarkable cures is
case which has excited a world of at
tention among the medical profession,
as we'll as all classes of citizens. The
patient was Mr.. Arthur Walton, of
Denison, kas., who came to DR.. Car
sons Office in Kansas City suffering
from a ell-developed case of this
dread disease. Mr.. Walton had heard
that Dr. Carson's treatment for this
disease was no less than narvelously
successful, and when his home physi-
clan told him that an operation would
be necessary and that the appendix
vermiform must be removed, he at
once determined to visit DR.. Carson.
So Mr.. Walton came to Kansas City
and was taken to the Temple of Health
at Twelfth and Washington streets in
a condition bordering upon q total
physical collapse. DR.. Carson saw at
OF ce that immediate treatment must
be given the sufferer or it would be too
late to save his life. He went to work
with his Vital Science treatment, with
out drugs or medicines of any kind
and surprising as it may seem Mr.
Walton was wholly relieved of pain
within three days and entirely cured
in less than a week.
The leading citizens of Kansas City
have long since become familiar with
the many desperate cases of disease
uIoUsiy cured, and many of them re-
gard him as their benefactOr and
friend. The success which he attained
in the cure of Mr.. Walton has a par
alleI in hundreds if not thousands of
cases in Kansas City.
And the most remarkable feature of
DR.. Carson's methods of treatment is
that he uses no drugs, while sur
geon's knife is not among his personal
property. Indeed, an operation for ap-
pendicitis such as is resorted to so
often, is, in DR.. Carson's opinion, no
less than a crime against nature. His
Vital Science treatment is the only
method he employs and no medicines
or knives are thought Of
This same treatment is equally sue
cessful in diseases of the lungs, heart,
kidneys and bowel trouble, asthma,
rheumatism, etc. and in diseases pc
cuIiar to children. spasms, measles.
scarlet fever. typhoid, pneumonia, all
kinds of fevers. st. Nitus' dance or

more remarkable in the cure of any
disease than his treatment of tumor
or hip Joint disease. This great
scourge. which ahlicts so many chill
dren and leaves them helpless and pit
/ iful cripples all the days of their lives,
yields to Vital Science in q most re-
narkable manner Scores of era teful
men and women who once suffered
from this disease, who have since

what the Vital Science treatment can
do for the cure of appendicitis.
When he came to the Temple Of

Mr.. Arthur Walton. Of Denison, kan,
had been suffering most intensely for
