In the spring of 1908 while in Aus
| tin. Tex. where | had been sent for
nv health. | was sitting in front of
the Driscoll hotel >when from car
rage hastily driven from the depot,
two gentlemen emerged. One was an
elderly. well dressed gentleman OF about
/ sixty; his face was swollen almost
twice its natural size, his eyes and
mouth almost closed. The other gen
tleman, who was his attendant, stop
ped and asked me if | could refer him
to first class physician. l recon-
mended him to the one who was at
tending me. and at the same time ask
ed him about the disease of his friend
In reply he stated that about two
wears ago growth had appeared in
the glands in the side of his 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 enroute
! to ST. Paul, Mimi, to consult DIR.
Doran of that city. Our train being
DELAYED we are now compelled to re-
main in Austin until evening.
.Hou will not see DR.. Doran in st.
Paul. | replied, as | remember seeing
| i'm the Houston Post DR.. Doran will
visit Houstin, Tex, i'll 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
st. Paul in Texas, how fortunate"
They left Austin that night and
upon arriving at Houston the next
morning found that DR.. Doran was
due in Houston one day later.
| DR.. Doran arriving in due time was
informed of the suffering and import

Without asking him question DIR.
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 very 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 produced cancerous
growth With the proper treatment
YOU can be cured. Do you want me
to doctor your"
eyes," 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 next day,
he started to his home, stopping in
| Austin a few hours between trains. l
saw him again at the hotel
He assured me he was feeling much
better and that the doctor had promis-
ed 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 for years. | met number OF
patients while in Texas, as | have In
all sections of the country | have been
in, they all tell me of the miraculous
features in DIR. Doran's practice, his
unerring ability to tell a patient his
diease without asking a question and
the speed and ease with which he
cures the most malignant disease. In

and nervous diseases, that he does not
lose one case in ninety, that his pa
