The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-08-18


 in this city who thinks her mission in life is to euro the incurable. That may sound unreasonable, but 1t is what she means to attempt to do. The woman in question ts Mime. Komako Kimura, teacher of tho philosophical religion of Kan-Jt-Zai-Shu.
 Knt-Ji-Zal Shu. literally trans lated, means free imagination, con- centrated will-power. It Is not new religion. It is Oriental philosophy mixed with Buddhism. To show she can overcome the material through her mind, Mime. Kimura pierces the flesh of her arm with a needle. Spectators are amazed when no blood is drawn and when Mime. Ki- mura apparently suffers no pain.
 Philosophy is Ancient. Kan-Ji-Zai existed in India long before there was any western civili- ration. It has existed in Japan ever since Japan came into existence Mme. Kimura has been practicing 1t for more than ten years. It was taught to her by her husband. Hideo Kimurn, the son of a. wealthy Tokio merchant.
 Mme. Kimura is thirty years old. She has a son ten. She Is a very small person, measuring just four feet and two inches in her flat tottomed Japanese slippers But since she was nineteen years old she has studied the intricacies of Kan Jt-Zat Shu. In the past five years she has effected many cures, she says, of disease that baffled Japanese physicians.
 Now she is going to offer her ser vices free to the lame and halt Tof Id ,s%- cases. Those that doctors have given up. These, she says, she will cure.
 Treatment Simple.
 Her method is simple and en- tails no pain. no effort. in fact, on the part of the patient, she says. The philosophy of her healing is simply this:
 Through her will-power she dom mates the mind of the patient and leads him into a world ordinarily locked to him because of tn lack of freedom of imagination. she ex- plained. The patient becomes pos sessed of the power to concentrate the mind. to place the mind about the material, until the material as sumes the course the mind, under it's new influence, maps out for it, says Mime. Kimura, and thus a cure Is effected.
 Simple? Perhaps not to the Occi- dental mind. But evidently very sim pie to the Oriental mind. It isn't like Christian Science. Mme. Kimura, says. She has attended Christian Science headings" There is a big difference. In Kan-Ji-Zai-Shu the patient must have a mind opposed to the teachers. In other words, the mind must be in a state to be overcome. Then it is easy Mme kimura simply works the patients mind into a mold from which she later extracts a perfectly and newly organized mind that works in such new channels that the mind has overcome the body and all ailments the body has suffered disappear, or. at least, nearly all them do. she says
 Name Means Flying Horses.
 She offers herself as proof Her name, Komako. mean In Japanese, flying horses.''
 ''That was the way my mama and papa named me. It was because I had a flying temper. said Mime. Xii mure with a smile. "But I have overcome that" she added turning to hcr husband for confirmation. He confirmed her statement My husbands name means Superhero" explained Mme Xii mura. Perhaps that Is why he was able 10 impart to me the philosophy of his religion and make of me a valuable teacher. Tn Japan have treated with great success many who have been given up by doctors. That is what I wish to do here, I want the real bad cases. Every Tuesday and Friday afternoon, between o'clock and 5 o'clock. will treat free those l bad cases I know I can effect cures. 'I have been Tn this wonderful city | two years. studying the people. Now I am ready for the test. know shall not fail"
