ly walk About this time he heard of
Prof. Samuels and placed himself in
change for the better in a few weeks.
AT the end of ten months he felt just
as well as he ever did and claims he is
absolutely cured. 1t is now more than
a year since he took the treatment and
he has never had a recurrence of the
trouble
Mrs. j. I. Williamson. who resides at
200 st. West, Hutchinson, Kans was
almost on the verge of the grave with
consumption and nervous trouble. For
nearly % years Mrs. Williamson was
seriously afflicted and the doctors said
she had ST VituS Dance, in addition to
tuberculosis. Many leading physicians
had pronounced her incurable and stat
ed in the spring of 1909 that she would
be buried with the falling of the leaves
in autumn. She turned as last resort
to Prof, Samuels, and after starting his
treatment, Mrs. Williamson had only
one hemOrrhage of the lungs and began
to improve at once. In a short time
she was able to do her own homework.
She recently had her lungs examined by
a doctor who pronounced them absO-
lutely sound and we'll. in addition to
this, the Outstanding nervous trouble
had disappeared.
Mrs. w j. Burroughs, living at Col
Inns, Ia and who had serious case
of heart trouble, in a recent letter 10
Prof SamuelS, states: Il have not
taken a drop of medicine since [ be-
gan your treatment. Before that l had
to take from one to four heart tablets

heart did not beat regularly at all, but
just f1utter; now it beats regularly and

what it has done for me-"

Mr. c. c. Miller, living near Hutchin-
son, Kans., had been given up to die by
the best physicians in that section of
the country with what they termed
kidney trouble. After all else had fail
ed. he began to treat with Prof Sam
uelS. He took the treatment for six
months, after which all symptoms dis
appeared and he has never had a re-
currence.

found humanity
from the court records showing the
proof of his assertions that the court
had not convicted him:
Professor Samuels is a remarkable
man. Bright, alert, progressive and
although go, he is straight and active
and gives one the impression that he is
much younger. He talks with such an
earnest conviction and enthusiasm of
his work that the listener must believe
him and believe in his work.

THAT is a secret that has taken

principles. The eye is the window of

treating other bodily ills based on the
relation of the eye to the system as a
whole, This may seem strange, but
here are the proofs"
Thereupon the professor placed be-
fore his interviewer his Message of
Facts" affidavits and letters in great
numbers, many of them from respon-
ing on his statements.
This proved that Mr.. Frank Hoff,
now in business at 40 North Main
street, Wichita, Kas., had been given
up to die of consumption. He had been
treated by the greatest specialists in
Brooklyn, N Y. 1t was some seven
years ago and when he had tried every
thing else without avail, that he came
to Professor Samuels and was cured.
He is a large, strong man and weighs
240 pounds now, and when called upon
by the in tervieWer, stated that he owed
his life to Professor SamuelS.
Mr.. H. S. Bodkin, living at 40 Frisco
ST., Oklahoma City, Okla, had what
physicians told him was incurable

1902 another attack and a few days
later a third attack Physicians finally
told him that blood clot on the brain
had caused LOcomOtor AtaXia and stat
ed that nothing could be done for him.
After taking treatment from various
doctors for several years, in 1909 one
side became entirely paralyZed. Soon
after this he began taking treatment
from Prof SamuelS. He is now, al
though in his SEVENTEEN year, in good
health, the paralysis having entirely
left him. He does not even use "a cane
and walks anywhere any other healthy
man can.

WICHITA, Kas.-The almost mirac-
ulous cure of hopeless invalids made
by Professor Samuels, of Wichita, Kas.,
have been of such a startling character
that they have aroused widespread
wonder, admiration and curiosity.
Time and again he has taken cases pro-
nounced hopelessly incurable by the
medical profession and restored the pa
tients to health in a most phenomenal
manner.
There is considerable mystery at
tached to Professor SamuelS' method OF
accomplishing these marVels. and 1t is
known that he does not use the drastic
drugs and medicines that doctors de-
pend upon. And it is a matter of proof
that with the system this discovery
gives him. he has made the blind see
and the lame walk. He has revived the
Pickering spark of life in bodies on the
very verge of the grave, and restored
to health men and women given up TO
die by doctors and specialists.
Professor Samuels came into note
several years ago by his almost mlrac-
ulous cure of Blind Joe," of Topeka,
Kas., who was well known in that city,
having sold peanuts and popcorn on
the streets there for years. He had
been blind for ten years and had eX-
hausted all the means in his power to
be cured, but had given up in despair
until he fell into the hands of Profess
sor Samuels, who effected a cure
Professor SamuelS has been arrested
many times for practicing his system
without having a diploma. On being
interviewed a few days ago relative to
his many arrests, Professor Samuels
said:

times for practicing W1tnOut license,
but in no case have l been convicted.
