Dear Doctors--If you will recall the

in Colorado Springs last May you will APP

instead Of having to give up newspaper work

the work again., and on Tuesday walked at
least twenty miles, gathering election news
Vile, without any i'll effects whatever. In
stead of having but three months to live, as
relatives and friends feared at the time

living out my allotted time of three-score and
ten years.
In addition I feeling as fine and we'll
as I over was in my life. and every one
familiar with my previous condition speaks
OF the marked Improvement in my appearance
and spirits.
So great a change I attribute to three
things The Rensonizer treatment. your ex-
pereEce and skill in administering 1t, and the
necessary internal medicines, and the per-
sistency with which 1 followed out your In
struCtions in securing sleep, fresh air, sun
shine and proper diet.
The ordinary climatic treatment had tried
some years previously, but the results were
December from Columbus, Ohio, on account
of the precarious condition of my lungs and
reduced system, and found myself in a worse
condition after remaining five months than
when came in December.
While the climate of Colorado Is de-
lightfu 1 am staying another winter to enjoy
1t and confirm my cure, yet climate at pest
is not to be compared with your treatment,
even in the element or time alone, 1or am
convirced no climate on earth could have
produced the results achieved in my case in
so few months. My chest expansion has in
creased from two inches to three and three
eighths inches, and 1 now breathe normally,
as L did in Ohio previous to my sickness.
In closing, 1 might say that hesltated to
undertake your treatment until 1 had in
vestigated every other method, and was
convinced that you had the only cure which
was worthy of trial solely through the tes-
timonials you furnished in such numbers and
from persons who could not ordinarily be in
duced to lend their names to any uncertain
method of cure.
1t was for this reason alone that 1 felt
willing to speak of my so publicly that
others who are alike afflicted might be cheered
with the knowledge that out of the innumer-
able remedies offered there is one worthy the
closest investigation for I know of case
which could have been a more severe test or
one in which the results obtained were so
