LOS ANGELES. April IA small
vegetable garden 10 the yard OF DIT.
Harry F0shav Walker. a tail gray
haired. slOw-talking young dietlcian,
today was believed 10 have yielded
a cure for Calcin0sls-a dreaded dis
ease which slowly transforms its
victims into stone.
The treatment. he believes. con-
rists o. a simple change Of oiet-a
reversal o. the process 81 nature
which transfers calcium from bone
TO muscle.
Or. Walker began his experiments
a month ago when Rola Brayton,
attractive 23-year-Old blond former
artists model. appealed 10 medical
science IN the hope a cure could
ne found for the strange malady
with which she had been stricken
The young VOL'ans arms and legs
were cold aud hard as marble. she
had been told repeatedly that the
disease would chill her whole body
within a few years.
DR.. Walker had cured partial
cases. Of the disease which has
claimed q known victims through
out the world. but there was no rec
ord II a cure in a typical case.
Removes Calcium From Soil
out OF his small garden. the young
doctor brought vegetables. grown IN
soil from winch calcium had been
extracted. He eliminated all else
from Miss BraytOn's diet He an
rauuced today that the progress OF
the disease had ree1 definitely ar
rested
Miss Bravton is n0w able to walk
ard can move her hands. he said
Life is returning 20 her muscle It's
sues and she Is entirely free from
pain.
Miss Brayton quit modelling for
artists two years ago when she was
stricken First symptoms were sgOn-
ling pam. She lay IN bed for
months. her feet swollen and m
famed. Stabbing pains shot through
her legs. Even her facial features
were beginning 10 change as the
disease Crept up through her shOul-
oers and neck.
Definite Improvement Shown
Today. after a month Of eating
nothing but the vegetables grown
IN the garden purged of calcium,
she walked across the room Of her
home. talked freely and gestured
W n her arms.
IT'S wonderful" she said. Il can
hardly believe that 1 am going TO
get sell.
DR. Walker explained that in Miss
Bravton's case. her entire system
was toxic. Nature. following its
normal process. filtered calcium from
the food supply and the bones to
replace dead .lesh tissue. Now the
calcium is bemg restored 10 the
bone.
The process Is exactly as we
hoped he said. The skin Is COM
pletclv detached from the hardened
muscular tissues and these arc

the diet Is causing the blood TO re-
verse ITS former process.
DR.. Walker Is not completely sat
isded with the cure. however.
Further Tests Proposed
Chemical extraction OF calcium
from soil usually leaves irritantS
that arc as serious as pOisOns al
ready in the body. he explained. I
hope We have found a process which
will not leave these irritantS-a con-
dition Of soil similar to that on cer
tain South Sea islands. notably
Tahiti and Hawaii. where rOn is
not present IN the soil"
The physician asserted 10 is i'm
possible to determine whether a
complete cure ran be effected un-
.tI the treatment has been continued
for some time.
Tests of Miss Br8vtOn'S blood for
calcium show a definitely increased
content" he said. 1T IS a slow. nat
ural process both ways. but it is
n distinct indication that the treat
mruf Is ACCOMPLISHING its DrrDOSe."
