Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1907-05-09


An article printed several days ago
in reference to the cures accomplished
by Professor Melville Daniels, in cases
concerning kidney collie, attracted the
attention of Mr.. w. M. Carter of
Huntington, w. Va, who is now in the
city.
Mr.. Carter has also been treated by
Professor Daniels, though for a diff
ferent complaint han those mentioned
in the article of a few days ago. He
regards his case, however, as being
more emphatic proof of the efficacy
of Mr.. Daniels method of treatment.
Mr.. Carter, after seeing the pub
lished statement, communicated with
a reporter to present his case.
Il came here" he said, Gin October,
suffering with an accentuated case Of
locomotor ataxia. The attack began
in January and anyone who has never
suffered with that disease cannot
imagine what it is. There is not, in
some cases, an acute pain; instead of
the physical pain, however, it results
in what is a thousand times worse
a mental pain that comes from embar-
rassment. In 1ocomotor ataxia a man
suffers the entire loss of his lower
limbs. He may be walking down the
street, wishing to turn in one direc-
ton and be unable to do this. In
g. short a man loses entirely the control
of his body.
81 had suffered from this complaint
for about seven months A gentle
man, Mr.. w. J. S. McCluskey, who
JiryOr in IJJntip orton bod c11 ffor01 with
the same complaint that affected me.
He had heard about Mr.. Daniels INC
came to Richomnd to be treated, and
: advised me to do the same. | knew
him before he came here and knew
the remarkable change in his physi-
= cal condition.
L had concluded that there was no
nance for me. | had spent three
months in the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway Hospital at Huntington, where
: they did not give me any treatment.
[ went from there to the Kessler Hos
y pital, where | stayed thAee months.
While I was there / grew worse. They
= told me there was no hope for me-
, that I would never regain my normal
- condition. l felt as if | would rather
= die. You may think that expression is
meant to be dramatic, but that's be
cause you have never hal locomotO1
ataXia.
Then | met Mr.. McCluskey. knew
him before [ had this complaint and
his condition surprised me. He advised
me to take the same treatment and
did. When I came here I could not
stand alone. l could keep upon my
feet, while moving, but standing still
destroyed my equilibrium. To-day
can stand and walk"
SimpIified Treatment.
!. In the former article, nat which at
tracted Mr.. Carriers attention, the
natural treatment p~racticed by Mr.
Daniels was, in part, explained. To
= day he was asked about it again. Mr.
Daniels grew a little impatient.
81 do not see,' he said, why yol
= cannot understand. There is no mys
~ terry in this; it is the simple PROPOSE
ton of cause and effect.
q eff you ever studied philosophy yol
must understand that ~frrevocable law

conditions. My idea is to treat thu
:. conditions in the a that Nature
would have them treated-to attacl
:; the cause and not the effect. If you
eradicate the effect, with the cause
remaining, that cause will, in time
produce the same effect, n your eft
forts are wasted.
"a man from Goldsboro, N. G.
named J.. G. Slocum, who had sufere

years. He could not write his m
look at his handwriting low"
The handwriting the reporter saw
- in a letter of gratitude and thanks
seemed to have been written withou1
D. a tremor.
T. "Locomotor ataxia is simply a dis
ordered nerve system. AS a matter O
g fact, almost all physical complaint:

by restoring the nerve system. Tha
