COLONEL Ed GREEN


shake hands with DIR. Carson and thank
him again for the treatment he had re-
ceived at kansas City's noted institution,
the Temple OF Health. The step was
light, the eye clear and bright, and skin
rosy, in fact Colonel Green looked in the
pink of condition. as the prize fighters

himself and yet when 1t comes to DR..

surgery, for all kinds Of diseases, he has

/, Carson's treatment and said that he
didn't do anything for his patients except
! take their money. Now / want to stop
| right here long enough to say that 1
never knew a medical doctor to make
/ his charges as reasonable as DR.. Carson
| did, not only in my case. but in many
with whom 1 talked while there. My
candid opinion is that If he took every
| thing you had you would still be getting
i your moneys worth. But he don't do
that. His charges are small and it is a
wonder that he can run such large
| institution on so small fee. He couldn't
| do it if he didn't have thousands of pa
tients to take his treatment.
| But, getting back to my story, as I
| was saying. I heard of DR.. Carson. and
| although I was decidedly skeptical I de-

! me. didn't propose to lie there and die
| on account of my skepticism, nor cid 1
| propose to refuse any mans help just be-

| talk with his patients you don't hear any
