/. |. B|RNEY IS AbSO-
LUTELY CURED OF
TUBERCULOSIS
Gives PulmOline Credit for
Regained HEALTH Weighs
More Than Ever

Gratitude! How regretful that
more of it is not manifest And how
unburdened and happy one feels
when he does lay aside all egotism,
or self-pride, il you will, and place
honor and praise where honor and
praise are due.
1t is just such a picture as this
that this paper has to place before
it's readers, and because of the fact
that all of the characters are local
residents of this city-that it should
all the more appeal to the reader as
| it did to the one who interviewed
the speaker.
But a few days since, it was learn
ed that one II. l.. Birney, of Kan
sas City, who came to Albuquerque
for the benefit of his health had not
only regained his normal health, but
that he actually weighed twelve
pounds more than he ever did in his
life, and that all of this had been
accomplished in a few months after
he had suffered with tuberculosis for
three years and had travelled to al
most every known health resort.
That the reader may have no rea-
! son to doubt the facts in this par
ticular case, Mr.. Birney's own words
\ will be given. However, before this,
| it should be added that Mr.. Birney is
assistant cashier of the Kansas State
DdIlk at hdnSdS ilty, anu lHdl nOtI-
ling more than gratitude toward his
benefactors and sympathy for fellow
sufferers would induce him to come
before the public with such "A testi-
monial.
Mr.. Birney'S words were as fol-
lows:
when you ask me what | have
| to say of Pulmoline and the method
| of treating tubercular persons | hard
| ly know what to say first. l might
keep you here all night and never
cease talking, but ! never could give
sufficient praise to these people who
have simply snatched me from a
knawing death.
81 will tell you the whole story of
my case, and l wish that every per-
son in the United States who is suf-
fering from tuberculosis might read
| il and have the sincere faith in its
| truthfulness as / put in the telling.
| 1t was during the Kansas City flood
| that | contracted the disease. That
was almost four years ago, and since
| that time | have travelled extensively
but grew gradually weaker. | spent
| one year in San Antonio, Tex; one
in Roswell, n. M; one in Colorado
| Springs, Colo, and finally came to
| Albuquerque, scarcely alive. At the
time l came to this place l weighed
| 130 pounds. l now weigh 1856,
which is twelve pounds more than l
ever weighed in my life, and | am
gaining flesh ever day, now.
But about the treatment; l heard
of Pulmoline treatment, and went to
| them, in their office i'm the Occidental
building for advice. l had tried
| everything else and took up their
treatment as a last resort. Before |
mad been under their care two weeks
l knew | had found cure-positively
| II | 10 "a
apr elite, and begun It once to gain
flesh.
"lf you could realize what it means
10 me to have seen myself slowly
sinking into the grave, and then to
have the immeasureable JOY of feeling
myself rise again, then, but not un-
til then, can you know the gratitude
feel toward this cure. There Is
nothing I would not say for the doc
tor and his Cure--I only wish | could
say enough. Just as much as "A per-
son values his life is the value he
must put upon having 1t saved and
while | cannot begin to express my
feelings, ! can and earnestly do say
that 1t is my sincerest hope that
thousands of tubercular persons may
read this testimonial from the heart
and receive the blessings that have
been mine.
Il might go on and tell you OF tht
method of treatment. but that would
, take too much of your time, and Il
! is not necessary. However, | do wish
you would say that the treatment /:
pleasant l always was anxious fol-
my visit TO the doctor and in eact
instance ] left him, confident that jus
. that much more had been done to
ward restoring me to more than m,
e normal health"
: Mr. Birney is roomer at 523 Eas
I Railroad avenue, but he feels that h.
I has been completely cured of tuber
l culosis and viii shortly return to hi
home Ia Kansas city
