In the spring of 1904, while in Austin,
| Tex, where | had been sent for my
| health | was sitting in front OF the
Driscoll hotel when from carriage
hastily driven from the depot, two gen
| tlemen emerged. One was an elderly,
we'll dressed gentleman of about sixty;
his face was, swollen almost twice its
natural size, his eyes and mouth almost
closed. The other gentleman, who was
his attendant, stopped and asked me If
| could refer him to tirstclass physi-
elan. | recommended him to the one who
was then attending me, and 1T the same
time asked him about the disease of his
friend. In reply he stated that about
two years ago growth had appeared
in the glands in the side of the neck.
This was removed by an operation, but
soon reappeared. A late conference of
the home doctors have reported that he
could not live and we are now en- route
to Minneapolis, Mimi, to consult DR..
DOran of that city. Our train being
delayed we are now compelled to remain
in Austin until evening.
You will not see DR.. Doran in Min
neapolis, | replied, as | remember seeing
in the Houston Post DR.. Doran will
visit Houston, Tex. in few days,
therefore you had better stop there and
save yourself the journey. What"
muttered the sufferer, between his half
closed teeth. DR.. Doran of, Minneapolis,
in Texas; how fortunate"
They left Austin that night and upon
arriving at Houston the next morning
found that DR.. Doran was due in Hous-
ton one day later.
DR.. DOran arriving i'll due time was
informed of the suffering and import
ance of the patient waiting and hasten
ed to make an early examination of his
case.
Without asking him Il question DR..
Doran said to him: My dear sir, it is
my opinion that you have been bitten
by some poisonous insect; it is also my
opinion that one of your parents or a
verv near relative has died of cancer
and that your system, being specially
liable to develop cancer, has been only
aggravated by this bite, which has pro-
duced cancerous growth. With the
proper treatment you can be cured
Do you want me to doctor you?
Yes" said the gentleman.
No sooner had his permission been
granted than DR.. Doran injected some
thing to make him rest and then sent
him to his room to lie down. Being
treated in the same manner the next
day. he started to his home, stopping
i'll Austin a few hours between trains
| saw him again at the hotel.
He assured me that he was feeling
much better and that the doctor had
promised him cure in from three to
five weeks. Being interested in his case
gave him my address. Six months
afterwards | received a letter from him
saying that he was cured and that he
was in better health than he had been
while in Texas, as | have in all sections
of the country | have been in, they all
tell me of the miraculous features in DR..
Doran's practice. his unerring ability to
tell patient his disease without asking
Il question and the speed and ease with
which he cures the most malignant dis
ease. In cancer, consumption, tumor,
paralysis. fatty degeneration of the
heart. kidney and nervous diseases,
that he does not lose one case in ninety.
that his patients are those having the
worst cases of chronic diseases and
have been given up by other physicians
as incurable, and yet these incurable
malignant diseases seem to be handled
by him with the utmost ease and uni
