 As there was convention of doc tors In Vancouver in September, 1915, Salmon's case was looked Into by a large number of the visiting physi- clans. and they one and all pronounc- cd it hopeless. Although Mir. Salmon's normal weight is 147 pounds, his weight when he left the hospital on September 14. was only 9S pounds. It was then that he decided to take up Christian Science.

TREADwELL. Feb. s.-To be told that he had but a short time to live on account of an incurable disease. by 6 number of eminent physicians and specialists. and then to prove them to be in error is the experience of Ed. Salmon. a former Treadwellite, who returned to the Island on the last trip of the AK. The cure, accord ing to Mr. Salmon. was affected through Christian Science.
 About five years ago. while employ cd at Treadwell. Mir. Salmon fell and injured his spine. As the injury kept getting worse he consulted a doctor and was advised to spend a few weeks at the springs. He went to Tenakee, but after his return he continued to get worse and finally went to the States to consult Q specialist. He was told by the specialists that he had con- tracted tuberculosis of the bone. Com ing North again he started taking treatments for that disease from To- cal physicians. but although every thing possible was done for him, his condition remained the same. except that the cords in his limbs seemed to become shortened and he was un- able to stand erect.
 In the spring of 1914 NIT. Salmon had to quit his work, which was that of an engineer. and take to his bed. From that time until he left for Vic toria on August 4. 1914. he was un- able to care for himself, and was car ried on board the boat by number of friends.
