The merits of Mis- now treatment, have been verb

parts Of the United States, some of whom have
acquired IL practical knowledge Of The system by
attending medical conventions in Kansas City. 81.

Doctor Rogers demonstrated and explained his
method. Others have become competent in using
the method by visiting Doctor Rogers and taking
Il personal course III instruction unaer him. Some
i,le; as to how this method Is being received by
the profession may be inferred from the fact mat
within TWO minutes after completing his demon
stration before the annual convention Of the Amer
lean Association of Progressive Medicine at Kan
Sos City, Doctor Rogers was unanimously elected
president of that society.
Perhaps the most remarkable instance Of a cur"
yet ol1aincd by means of autoi,cinic therapy was
the case of Il trained nurse. whose trouble was
diagnosed us [Iodgkin'S disease, generally consii-
cred incurnble. During the three and Ii half years
preceding her visit to Doctor Rice. n physician
whom Doctor Rogers had instructed In hutohelIIlc
thcrapv.' the patient had had five operations, one
for appendicitis, one in which the stomach was re-
sected, and three for removal of glands. She had
lost p bounds from her normal weight and could
neither eat nor sleep sufficiently to keep III.
After the first autohcnic treatment on October l..
1916, her condition began to improve SO rapidly
us TO ;stoniSh even Doctor Rogers himself. A
second treatment was given a week later. and at
the end of the third week she seemed so perfectly
well that treatment was discontinued. After an
interval, however. of six weeks, there were some
indications of the return of the enlargement of
he glands. Four other treatments a week apart
were given. and since that time there has been no
trouble of any sort. The patient recained all her
weight, and is today the picture of health.
In speaking Of autohemic therapY, a prominent
New York physician said: 1--WE all have known
the thera1 cutie value Of blood after developing
certain antitoxins. All our artificial serums are
products at blood serum. Modern medical science
would he ,nthinkable without this weapon to fight
the manifold diseases to which human flesh is heir.
With III this knowledge. does it not seem
strange that only now In the year 1916 the curative
own Ills has Just been discovered. or, speaking
more accurately, been brought to our attention:
MANY of us are no doubt like a certain great
scientist who. when this new discovery, autohemic

is absolutely scientific. For n long time ! have
