This is to certify that l have been
greatly benefited by the treatment
and instructions received from o. G.
Olsen, the Nature Healer of Calmar,
Iowa.
l have suffered with stomach and
bowel and kindred disorders of a
collie nature for many years and for
the last 80 years my bowels would
not move with physic or bowel in
jections of luke-warm water and not
even we'll then. But now l am glad
to say that Olsens treatment and
instruction while with him caused
the whole digestive tract to act in a
normal manner, so that now at the
age of 70 years l have regular, easy
and daily movements of the bowels.
The costiveness of the bowels for
80 years, together with the pain and
soreness of the bowels have entirely
disappeared and l have free and
regular movements of the bowels
every morning. The instructions
how to live so that each person can
live healthy and improve his health
at home is worth more than the treat
ment costs.
He succeeded with me when all
other treatments failed. ] therefore
cheerfully and with all confidence
recommend him.
L. l.. CALDWELL, Alderman.
DEBORAH, Ia, May II, 1909.
This is to certify that | have been
for some time treated by o. G.
Olsen, the Nature Healer of Calmar,
Iowa, with results that have fully
convinced me that the natural
treatment employed by him, together
with his mental and magnetic pow
ers will, in all cases, relieve and in
most cases permanently cure the
patient, whether the disease is
chronic or acute. And the instruc-
ton of "how to live to maintain
good health" received during the
treatment, if strictly carried out,
will not only be of value in keeping
your own mind and body clean and
healthy, but can be applied with the
same results on other members of
the family. l therefore hereby most
heartily recommend Olsen's treat
ment to every sick person, re-
gardless of what name the sickness
is called, as all diseases have one
common cause, namely, retaining of
impurities in the system and viola
ton of the natural laws of our
being. And Olsen's treatment
will remove the former and instruct
how to avoid the latter.

During the last few years there has
been n tremendous change of heart"
among physicians in the treatment of
diseases by means of drugs. In all

600 tubes or pores. each about a quar-
ter Of an inch long, and ii stretched
out end tn end would extend nearly
IS miles. This immense drainage sys-

the body of its vicious secretions
When these pores are obstrueted n de-
posit is formed at the mouth of each
pore. which tends to paraiyze tho

the seeds of disease.
Drugs do not eliminate the clogged-
up poisons from the system: they have
to fight myriads of germs. the battle
is too unequal and the germs rout the
drug instead of the drug routing the
germs.
The Robinson Thermal Bath ex-
tracts poisons from the pores almost
