INTRODUCTION 
HE HAVE but one object in view in publishing CANCER TRUTHS, 
and that is that by the recording of the facts we have learned, we 
may be able to bring the hope of relief and final recovery to 
many who are now suffering in body and mind. 
The mission, therefore, of this book is one of mercy. Its message is 
directed particularly to those people who are perfectly aware that they 
have Cancer, as well as to those who fear they have, but are uncertain, 
and are as a consequence of this uncertainty, suffering the tortures of mind 
no one can describe who has not been similarly afflicted. 
And so we would say here, at the very beginning, that no matter what 
you may think about Cancer-it can be cured, if taken in time. And we 
want to devote this book and its message to prove the assertion, so that 
we may, if possible persuade the person who knows he has Cancer, and the 
person who fears, but is uncertain, to take the matter in hand in time. 
In time-how we wish we could make these words mean to you what we 
know they should mean to you. If we could only burn them deep into the 
mind and conscience of every one afflicted or threatened with Cancer, 
how much more good we might be able to do in this world. 
In time-two words that might well be the theme of a series of sermons 
on Cancer. In time-how many people have gone to untimely graves 
because they delayed until it was too late! 
This is the sad side which too often confronts us-but it is not the 
side that we want to dwell upon exclusively. We want to present the 
hopeful side, also. For there is hope, established on a firm foundation. 
It is now twenty years since we decided to devote our entire time and 
attention to the special study and treatment of Cancer. At first we were 
compelled to grope in the dark, with but little definite information to guide 
us, because at that time no one knew very much definitely about Cancer. 
For that reason we failed to cure many cases that came to us for treat- 
ment. The same kind of cases applying to us now yield readily to our 
treatment, due, in great measure, to the knowledge we have gained in the 
intervening years and the improved methods we have developed. 
Therefore, we have confidence in ourselves and in our methods, and 
we are able to inspire confidence in our patients, by furnishing the evidence 
that we have cured many cases similar to theirs. 
We have gained this knowledge because we have devoted our entire 
time and energies to the study of Cancer, in all its various phases, and be- 
cause we have been fortunate in having thousands of patients come to us for 
treatment, giving us the opportunity of a wide range of study and research. 
7  
We are often asked how it is that we are able to cure Cancer without a 
surgical operation, when physicians, almost to a man, will tell you that there 
is no cure for Cancer. 
We attribute our ability to the fact that during all these years we have, 
as we said before, confined our practice and study entirely to the treatment 
of this one disease, and have made a careful and searching study of every 
case treated. So that now when a patient applies to us for examination or 
treatment, we are able to classify the case in a class with many that we have 
treated successfully, and can follow a similar line of treatment, varying the 
treatment, of course, according to the indications, and with improved tech- 
nique we are able to treat the case from day to day to a successful end. 
The remedies we use do not differ materially from those found in the 
various schools of medicine. Our greater success in their use comes from the 
fact that we have made a careful study of the various remedies the different 
schools recommend as being beneficial in the treatment of Cancer, and by 
persistence, determination and carefully watching each case, we reach the 
desired goal. 
We have also been asked why, being regular physicians, we happened 
to select the medicinal or non-surgical treatment of Cancer. We answer 
that by saying: "When we were students in medical college, and attended 
the clinics in three of the largest cities in the country, where the clinical facil- 
ities at the various city hospitals were equal to any in the world, we were 
profoundly impressed with the appearance of utter hopelessness of the pro- 
fessors or surgeons in charge of the clinic whenever a Cancer case was pre- 
sented for treatment. They would appear bewildered for a time, as if lost 
in deep study, their faces the picture of doubt and perplexity, as they seemed 
to be groping in space for something that would bring about the desired 
relief. But invariably they would turn to the class with the remark: 'This 
is a case of malignancy; I am sorry to say it, but our profession has little to 
offer. The only thing we can do is to cut it out; maybe that will help. 
With the consent of the patient we will try; we can promise nothing.' 
Sometimes the consent was obtained, even with no promise of relief. 
The futility of it all impressed us, and we made a special effort to follow up 
the result of these operations to see if surgery really offered no hope, for we 
had at one time entertained ambitions to become great surgeons. 
We were greatly disappointed in finding that in many cases the attempt 
at relief had not only failed to cure, but that the disease returned in a few 
months in an aggravated form, and that then the patient was in a worse 
condition, if possible, than if no treatment whatever had been given. 
An ideal was shattered, and we then and there decided that when we 
finished our college course, secured our diploma and license to practice, we 
would devote our efforts toward the finding of some treatment that would 
8  
cure such cases, and not be compelled to advise an operation when cases of 
Cancer came to us in the course of our practice. 
How well we have succeeded is best answered by the hundreds of people 
who are alive and well today, as a result of this firm determination of phy- 
sicians who were not satisfied with conditions as they found them. 
While it is true that we have not been successful in curing all cases that 
have applied to us for treatment, we are, however, curing a larger per cent, 
than ever before, and we are gaining new knowledge every day. 
Our improved facilities for caring for such cases; the more searching ex- 
amination made as to the patient's general health; the more scientific selec- 
tion of the indicated remedies; the special attention given to elimination and 
to building up the general health; the systematic and periodical examination 
of the blood, urine, etc., have been the means which have enabled us to cure 
the more difficult cases, to increase the percentage of cures and to decrease 
the percentage of failures. 
Were it possible for us to bring such evidence as we have in our posses- 
sion to the attention of all Cancer sufferers, and they would heed the infor- 
mation and advice in time, the percentage of deaths from Cancer would be 
still further reduced. 
Let us, therefore, urge everyone who reads this book, even the doubt- 
ing Thomases, to find out for himself or herself whether or not what we say 
regarding the curability of Cancer is true. 
For the purpose of assisting you in your investigation, we have published 
herein, names of many men and women who have unquestionably recovered 
from Cancer without a surgical operation, and who are today among the liv- 
ing as a result of this treatment. 
Because they have been cured these good people are eager to assist us 
in every way possible to spread broadcast the good news. They want you 
to know that Cancer can be cured, and they have signified a willingness to 
answer all letters directed to them in regard to the treatment they received. 
It is right and proper that you should investigate. It is perfectly natural 
that you should want to know from the people who have been cured, what 
they think of the treatment, as well as what we think of it. 
We encourage thorough investigation because we find the person who 
investigates most thoroughly by communicating with a number of persons 
who have been cured, is always the one who is most ready to place his case 
in our care, and come under the treatment. He is the one also who becomes 
enthusiastic in wanting to help others to the same cure. In this way as our 
patients are multiplied and cured, each goes out as a missionary in the life- 
saving service, and the truth and the proof about the cure of Cancer is carried 
into almost every community of this country. The result is that each year 
witnesses many valuable lives saved to still further usefulness. 
We make a special effort to keep this list of cured patients revised so that

no letters written to them will go astray, and so that every letter written will 
be answered. However, should you fail to receive a reply, it may be that the 
person written to is away from home, or has recently changed location. 
Always enclose a self-addressed and stamped envelope for reply when writ- 
ing, and be sure to write to several people so that should one or more fail to 
reach the person addressed, you will still hear from enough to satisfy you. 
Technical Classification of Cancer 
Neoplasms are tumors composed of new grown tissue of atypical 
development. 
Carcinoma or Cancer is an epithelial neoplasm of embryonic type. 
A Papilloma is an epithelial neoplasm of adult type. 
An Epithelioma is a Carcinoma developed in stratified epithelium. 
An Adenoma is a glandular epithelial neoplasm of adult type. 
A Sarcoma is a connective tissue neoplasm of embryonic type. 
A Fibroma is a connective tissue neoplasm of adult type. 
Of the foregoing growths Carcinoma and Epithelioma are the only ones 
properly called Cancers. The Papilloma and Adenoma may develop into 
Cancers, and are often to be regarded with suspicion, but they are not 
Cancers. The Sarcoma is also a very malignant tumor but it is not a 
Cancer, although commonly called such. 
There are at least two other malignant tumors which do not strictly 
belong to either of these classes-the Hypernephroma and the Deciduoma. 
The Hypernephroma is composed of embryonic tissue similar to the supra- 
renal capsule, and the Deciduoma is composed of a malignant development 
of placenta. The Deciduoma is one of the most malignant tumors. For- 
tunately, both of these tumors are comparatively rare. 
A much more extensive technical classification might be made of the 
true Cancers or Carcinomas, but the above statement will suffice. 
11  
Cause of Cancer 
Cancer is one of those diseases which medical men call a chronic in- 
toxication. This means that it is a disease of slow development, induced 
by faulty elimination, or by the failure of the body and excretory organs, 
such as the lungs, kidneys, bowels, and so forth, to throw off the poisonous 
wastes of the tissues. The Cancerous condition commences when the sys- 
tem is not able to throw off its wastes, yet a person in this condition may 
never develop Cancer. 
From the findings and determinations of our clinical research in hundreds 
of cases of all kinds, we have found Cancer to be both a local and constitu- 
tional disease, and that it is necessary to treat it as such. The sore or tumor 
is merely a local manifestation of the chronic constitutional condition. The 
location of the Cancerous growth is determined by irritation; that is, it ap- 
pears at the location weakened by injury or some form of irritation. 
In order for a diseased condition of any kind to be set up in the system, 
there must first be a deviation from the normal condition. The human 
body has been likened unto a complex machine with every part working in 
unison, each part having its particular function to perform, and must be 
kept in perfect order. Failure of any one part to perform its function, if 
not immediately discovered and corrected, results disastrously. And so it 
is with the human body. If there is an abnormal condition of any part or 
parts, disease is the result. 
When a patient comes to us for treatment, the first thing we proceed to 
do is to ascertain where the abnormal condition exists. In 98 per cent, of 
all Cancer patients, we find a long standing and obstinate case of constipation. 
This causes a retention and absorption of gaseous substances that should be 
eliminated. In other cases, we find insufficient secretion of urine. The kid- 
neys are wonderful purifying organs, and if they are not performing their 
function as they should, the salts in the system are retained, and their re- 
tention sets up an irritation or disturbance that is essentially favorable to 
the growth of Cancer. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the urine 
and microscopic examinations show to what extent this condition exists. 
Nearly all of our patients attribute the cause of their Cancer to some 
local irritation, such as frequent cutting of a mole or wart on the face or 
neck when shaving; the irritation brought about by a hot pipe stem; an 
irritated scar from a burn or other injury; frost bite, sun burn and numerous 
other causes that excite local irritation. 
While we attribute irritation to be the local exciting cause for the 
appearance of a Cancerous sore or tumor and determines the place of de- 
velopment, it is not to be understood that every person who receives such 
injuries and irritations will develop Cancer. But if there is a run-down 
condition of the system, if the vitality is below par, if there is chronic con-

stipation, if the kidneys and other excretory organs are not performing their 
functions properly or if the patient has gone through what is called the pre- 
Cancerous condition of defective elimination, Cancer is most likely to 
result. It is a foregone conclusion, and so recognized by all authorities, 
that Cancer most frequently develops on regions of the body exposed to 
irritation. This we term the local exciting cause, but the exciting cause 
alone will not develop Cancer. 
For obvious reasons men more often suffer from Cancer of the exposed 
surfaces. In men we usually find Cancer on the lip, cheek, nose, eye, ear, 
neck and hand. Women are more often affected with Cancer of the breast, 
as the mammary gland is most exposed to traumatism, such as accidental 
bumping from a child's head when nursing; blows from a broom handle 
slipping and striking the breast while sweeping; striking the breast on a chair 
or corner of a table when stooping to pick up something from the floor; 
caked breast following confinement; abscesses, and numerous other injuries 
to the delicate tissue structure of the breast which set up irritation and 
inflammation. 
It is an evident fact that the uterus and mammary glands, or breasts, 
are closely associated and in intimate sympathy. Whatever affects one 
usually affects the other. This is noticed by women generally at the 
menstrual period when the breasts become sensitive and tender. In the 
majority of cases of Cancer of the breast we find laceration, ulceration or 
engorgement of the uterus. 
Cancer is a disease of middle aged and elderly people. Certain tem- 
peraments seem to be prone to malignancy. The careful records we have 
kept for years indicate that there is no tendency to heredity. 
As a rule patients are deceived in the early development of Cancer. 
If on the lip they think it a fever blister or a cold sore; if on any other part 
of the face they think it some form of eczema. In the beginning Cancer 
does not cause pain, and one is inclined to look upon it as a trivial matter 
and neglect proper treatment. A lump in the breast of a woman past the 
age of 35, which has been present for any length of time, and does not yield 
to simple ordinary home remedies that she may employ, but gradually 
grows larger, should be looked upon with suspicion. A sore on the lip or 
any part of the face or hand, which does not get well in a few days, should 
receive attention and expert advice should be obtained.

Our Pathological Laboratory for Cancer Research. 
15  
Johnson's Pathological Laboratory 
for Cancer Research 
For several years past we have maintained a Laboratory for scientific 
Cancer research and investigation, known as Johnson's Pathological Labora- 
tory for Cancer Research. Since the establishment of this laboratory many 
hundreds of Cancer cases have been reviewed and this institution is believed 
to have attained the nation's greatest progress in the diagnosis and prognosis 
of this disease. 
For reasons definitely determined, this Research Laboratory bases its 
conclusions and investigations upon the proposition that Cancer is a constitu- 
tional disease-neither a vegetable nor animal parasite-therefore its re- 
searches are exclusively clinical; that is, dealing with cases of human Cancer 
coming under its examination, of practically all varieties, locations and stages 
of development. It is proven practice instead of undemonstrated theory, 
hence the determinations are actual and practical instead of being founded 
upon theoretical research with neoplasms of rats, mice, guinea pigs, rabbits, 
monkeys, chickens, fishes, etc. 
A Cancer Research, conforming to the most scientific criteria, and pur- 
sued for the past twelve years, leads to the following fundamental conclusions: 
1. Human Cancer is a chronic alkaline autointoxication. 
2. The essential of this alkaline intoxication is the retention and fixa- 
tion of carbon dioxid in the tissues. 
3. The locus of the Cancerous tumor is determined by chronic irrita- 
tion, either direct or reflex. 
4. Cancer is an affection of persons past middle life. 
5. The hyperalkalinity of Cancer can be concentrated in the exposed 
parts of the body. 
6. Epitheliomas or skin Cancers are the most numerous. 
7. Cancers of the breast are second in number. 
8. Epitheliomas predominate below the wrist band and above the col- 
lar in blonde men who lead an outdoor life. 
9. Epitheliomas are rare in brunettes. 
10. Epitheliomas of the exposed surfaces are rare in the dark races. 
11. Epitheliomas are rare in persons of indoor life. 
12. Cancer patients are the victims of chronic constipation, pass a small 
amount of urine low in chlorids and alkalies, have high blood pressure, and 
subnormal temperature. 
13. Cancer is not hereditary. 
14. Cancer is not contagious. 
15. Persons exposed to climatic conditions are more apt to develop 
Cancer. 
16  
16. There is no pain in the early stages. 
17. The disease may be slow or rapid in development. 
18. Cancer is a constitutional disease. 
19. The Cancer tumor is merely a local manifestation. 
20. Practically all cases of external Cancer are amenable to medicinal 
measures promptly and intelligently employed. 
Physicians visiting this Research Laboratory who are unacquainted with 
the work carried on are astonished to see the thoroughness of the methods 
employed and the advancement that has been made in the control of Cancer. 
Some of these physicians have visited different widely known Cancer hos- 
pitals and research institutions, and are frank to confess that no where else 
have they found anything equal in scientific value to that which has been dis- 
covered in Johnson's Pathological Laboratory for Cancer Research. That 
more physicians may profit by this research work, scientific articles are pre- 
pared from time to time for leading medical journals, and less technical re- 
ports are given to the public press for the purpose of disseminating the truth 
about Cancer to the laity. 
In consequence of these advanced determinations it follows that this 
institution is also the farthest advanced in the successful treatment of Cancer. 
Scientific Examination of Every Case 
Every patient coming under our treatment is systematically examined. 
Immediately following the physical examination, the patient enters the Path- 
ological Laboratory where a brief case record is made to correspond in name, 
sex, age, date, etc., with the physical examination. 
The laboratory or clinical examination is most thorough and complete. 
The blood pressure is first determined, then the blood is tested for hemo- 
globin, resistance, the amount of the Cancer invasion and the extent of Can- 
cer depletion. A total count is made of the number of red blood corpuscles 
and the number of white corpuscles. A differential count is also made of the 
white corpuscles to determine the extent of reaction in ulceration or the 
amount of involvement or reaction of the lymphatic system in metastasis. 
Parallel with this examination of the blood, a quantitative chemical 
analysis of the urine is made and the sediments, if any, are examined with 
the microscope. This shows the character of the elimination, the extent of 
the protective reaction in retaining the chlorids and alkalies to increase the 
resistance of the blood and the elimination of organic waste with reference 
to the Cancer intoxication. 
To understand the importance of this thorough examination of each 
patient, you have only to keep in mind our explanation of the cause of Cancer. 
It is not a parasitic disease or a wholly local condition. It is caused by the 
17  
Corner in Drug and Chemical Room 
18  
retention in the system of poisonous waste materials which ought to be excret- 
ed. The retention of the poisons in the system has a marked influence on the 
red blood cells. These life-giving cells become depleted and less resistant and 
lose their power to carry hemoglobin. They are less able to nourish the tissues 
and to carry off waste. This condition of the blood slowly but persistently 
gets worse through the months and years of Cancer infection. 
In all chronic intoxications the resistant forces of the body do all they can 
by way of protection. As soon as the pre-Cancerous intoxication commences 
to deplete the blood, the sodium chlorid or common salt in the food, tissues 
and body fluids is sent to the blood plasma to make it higher in salts and alka- 
lies so that the hemoglobin will not dissolve out of the red blood corpuscles. 
This makes the blood high in salts and alkalies in all Cancer cases. This pro- 
tection is absolutely necessary to prevent the blood from being destroyed in a 
very short time. But the protection, like nearly all protective measures of the 
organs of the body, is overdone, or unbalances the mechanism and products of 
secretion and elimination, and produces an alkalinity which causes the Cancer 
to grow. The worse the case of defective elimination, the worse the aggrava- 
tion of the measures of blood protection and the more the Cancer grows. 
With these facts in view, you can readily see how very essential it is to 
know these conditions to an exact certainty and what it means toward the 
successful treatment of any case of Cancer. All these determinations are 
precedent to prescribing internal medication. From time to time during 
treatment the determinations are repeated, or such of them as are indicated, 
and all results recorded. 
It is by such thorough methods as this that we are able co successfully 
treat Cancer in its various stages of development. By knowing the exact 
conditions by scientific determinations we find where one case differs from 
another. The treatment of the disease by combined local and constitutional 
remedies is indicated in each separate case, and the treatment can be intel- 
ligently selected and employed. 
Cancer of the Breast 
Careful compilation and tabulation of our records of the thousands of 
persons who have consulted us personally and by correspondence, show that 
the large majority of women having Cancer suffer from Cancer of the Breast. 
The variety of Cancer most frequently found in the female breast is 
Scirrhus, commonly called Stone Cancer and Hard Cancer. This variety of 
Cancer may also attack the male breast, but it is rare. 
Elsewhere in this book we have told you that Cancer develops principally 
on those parts of the body most exposed and subjected to different forms of 
irritation. The Breasts, because of their prominence, are subject to repeated 
19  
injuries, and from certain other causes are subject to irritation. During the 
middle life of women the Breasts are congested at every menstrual period in 
reflex sympathy with the uterus and ovaries. They are in the most intimate 
nervous connection with the uterus and ovaries and respond to all irritation 
of these organs. 
The Breasts are glands and hence are lined with glandular epithelium. 
They are especially active as a gland during the periods of lactation, and are 
often caked and inflamed and bruised by the nursing child. Another source 
of irritation is from abscess in the Breast, and the resultant scar tissue formed 
by lancing or breaking of the abscess affords a most favorable seat for Cancer 
to develop. 
The glandular epithelium lining the Breast is easier to stimulate to new 
growth than the epithelium of the uterus. For this reason many women 
who have suffered a laceration of the uterus at an early child birth, because 
of the reflex irritation of many years, develop Cancer of the Breast in later 
life. This is so true that the physician can safely ask a patient with Cancer 
of the Breast, who has borne children, at which birth she was lacerated. 
She can always tell, but she may not know that it was one of the causes of 
the growth in her Breast. 
As intimated above, Cancer of the Breast is more common in women 
past middle life. A lump appearing in the Breast of a woman past the age of 
35 years, whether she has borne children or not, should be looked upon with 
suspicion even though there has been no soreness or tenderness. Cancer of 
the Breast, however, more often makes its appearance between the ages of 
40 and 50 years, or during or shortly after the menopause, or change of life. 
It should be borne in mind that the different forms of injury and irrita- 
tion as herein enumerated are given and described as some of the local or 
exciting causes, without reference to the systemic or constitutional pre- 
disposing causes. 
Cancer of the Breast usually makes its appearance in the form of a 
lump, which the patient may think to be a simple tumor or merely a swelling 
of the gland. The lump may have been present for some length of time 
before it was discovered. Generally there is no pain when the disease first 
makes its appearance, and we have often had patients tell us that they dis- 
covered the lump quite by accident while bathing or massaging the Breasts, 
while others have observed a very slight discharge from the nipple and upon 
examining the Breast closely find a lump. 
The lump develops in the tissues, but does not appear to be a part of 
the Breast, as it is usually movable at first and not attached to the skin. 
It can be moved with the thumb and finger and feels as though, if the skin 
were opened, it could be easily lifted out. The lump may begin developing 
immediately adjacent to the nipple, but more frequently it is found between 
the nipple and upper border of the Breast; in some instances below the nipple, 
20  
and less frequently between the nipple and armpit. The latter location is 
the most serious from the fact that it is so near the lymphatic glands under 
the arm. While any abnormal lump, enlargement or hardness in the Breast 
should receive proper treatment, prompt attention especially should be given 
to a growth in the location just described, because of the two-fold danger. 
Cancer of the Breast is responsible for and causes the lumps under the 
arm, which are almost certain to appear in every case at a certain period of 
development. 
The lump in the Breast is not attached to the skin at first, but as it grad- 
ually increases in size and becomes nearer the surface, it will eventually ad- 
here to the skin. Up to this time the skin overlying the lump has been in a 
normal condition, but it will now be noticed to have changed color, taking on 
a dark appearance, almost a purplish hue, and the skin seems to be stretched 
and becomes thinner. In a short time there will be noticed small pimples 
or nodules making their appearance on the surface, and it will look to one not 
acquainted with the symptoms of the disease that to open these little pimples 
would allow the contents to escape and then get well; but unfortunately, this 
is not true. Frequently several of these pimples or nodules make their appear- 
ance and gradually grow larger until they unite and form one large sore. 
This marks the second stage of Cancer of the Breast, and it is at this time that 
the destructive stage is said to begin. 
The early symptoms of Cancer of the Breast are rather obscure, partic- 
ularly to one whose experience with the disease has been limited and who is 
not familiar with the symptoms and peculiarities of Cancer. As the lump 
in the Breast increases in size and causes pressure on the blood vessles sur- 
rounding the tissues, nerves, etc., there is soreness and tenderness on pressure 
and the least manipulation will cause an aching sensation extending up 
toward the neck and shoulder and, if handled too roughly, the shock will be 
felt under the arm and frequently down the arm as far as the elbow. 
Sometimes a patient developing Cancer of the Breast will experience a 
little pain at intervals under the arm and in the shoulder even before the lump 
makes its appearance, or before it is discovered, and she in inclined to favor 
that side, using the hand as little as possible. This symptom is often mis- 
taken for rheumatic pains. At about the time the third stage is reached the 
pain has increased very materially and will take on sharp, shooting or lan- 
cinating pains, associated with a burning, smarting and itching sensation 
with indications of the nipple becoming retracted or drawn in. 
When the third stage has fairly developed there will be more of less dis- 
charge thrown off with a disagreeable odor, which increases as the disease pro- 
gresses. The wound has a very unhealthy appearance, is irregular and nodular 
and becomes larger and larger with increasing pain and suffering. As the 
disease continues to spread and get worse, so also does the pain and suffering 
increase, and all other symptoms, local and general, become more intensified.

The foregoing description is characteristic of the average case of Cancer 
of the Breast. Some cases, of course, will present symptoms and character- 
istics that are not present in others. Each case is a case unto itself. The 
age of the patient, the state of her general health and vitality previous to 
the development of the Cancer, the extent of the physical power of resistance 
to disease, and numerous other conditions, all govern to a greater or lesser 
degree the growth of the Cancer. 
Our observation has been that the majority of cases of Cancer of the 
Breast operated upon surgically, return, and when a recurrence does take 
place the development of the disease is generally more rapid. The lym- 
phatic glands usually become involved, and the disease, uninterrupted, soon 
runs its course. 
Post-operative recurrent cases of Cancer, whether of the Breast or other 
location, are considered the most difficult to govern. We have, however, 
successfully treated a very fair percentage of cases that failed of results 
under the knife. 
Our conclusions are that there is no need for a woman to suffer ampu- 
tation of the Breast in an effort to cure a Cancerous growth when there are 
other safer means offering equally as favorable chance for recovery. In 
fact, we claim that medicinal measures promptly, intelligently and efficiently 
employed are superior to the scalpel or surgeon's knife, and that the per- 
centage of actual recoveries (patients that really get well, enjoy good health 
and remain free from Cancer) are greater under the former treatment. In 
our opinion the knife should never be used except, possibly, in the last 
extremity. 
Cancer of the Face 
Cancer of the Face is an Epithelioma or Skin Cancer. It occurs more 
frequently in men than in women because men are more exposed to injuries 
and irritations that excite local Cancer growth. It generally develops on 
the upper portion of the face, forehead or temple, and rarely appears before 
the age of 35. 
While no person is exempt, those of fair complexion who have thin skin 
are most susceptible to Cancer of the Face. The local exciting causes are 
numerous. Exposure to extreme cold of winter, hot sun of summer and dif- 
ferent forms of injury all have their influences. Cancer may appear on the 
Face in a wart, mole, blackheads, sore or hard excrescence of the skin, especial- 
ly when cut, injured or irritated. 
Cancer of the Face often appears as a small, dry, bran-like scale which 
comes off and is not noticed again for a time. Another dry scab or scale 
forms at the same place and comes off in the same way. This condition may 
be repeated many times, and there is always a progressive increase in the 
23  
size of these dry scales. Finally there is a sticky secretion at the place where 
the scale comes off, and the new scale assumes more the character of a scab. 
There is no pain, and nothing but the persistence of the scab to attract 
attention. 
In time there is a thickening and hardening of the tissue around the edge 
of the scab, and the patient may then feel a drawing or creeping sensation 
in the location as though a fly were walking across the face. The involun- 
tary touching or rubbing of the parts to relieve this sensation acts as an ir- 
ritant and, no doubt, hastens the growth of the Cancer. The slight hardening 
or little tumor continues to grow larger, the scab becomes thicker, the se- 
cretion under it of greater amount and the edges thicker and more inclined 
to inflammation. Finally an open sore forms with hard, elevated edges and 
more or less discharge of a watery nature. At this stage there is a stinging 
or lancinating pain, which becomes more severe as the Cancer gets larger. 
When these Cancers of the Face are shallow and do not invade the deeper 
tissues for some length of time, they are called "rodent ulcers." When they 
grow more rapidly and invade the deeper tissues more readily, they are 
called "carcinoma cutis." Both forms ultimately become large and painful, 
invade all tissues and cause great suffering and mutilation before destroying 
the patient's life. 
Cancer of the Cheek and upper part of the Face are among the easiest to 
cure, as they are not close to the glands or other deep structures. If all per- 
sons would seek competent advice and procure proper medical treatment in 
time, there would be no need of anyone dying from Cancer of the Face. 
Cancer of the Lip 
Cancer of the Lip is generally of the Epithelioma type, but may differ 
from other skin Cancers in several respects. The lower lip is by far the most 
frequently attacked. Indeed, in our experience, we have seen Cancer of the 
upper lip, which started on the mucous surface, but few times in many 
thousands of cases. 
Cancer of the lower lip almost invariably commences on, or at the 
junction of, the tender, pink mucous membrane of the lip. This mucous 
membrane has many small glands which dip into the tissue beneath and 
facilitate the Cancerous invasion of deeper tissues. 
It is seldom that Cancer makes its appearance in the center of the lip. 
It more often starts at one side, and may begin with what the patient may 
think is a common cold sore, fever blister or cracked lip. It is frequently 
found in persons who are inveterate smokers, especially those who smoke a 
pipe while working. From our investigations, we are of the opinion that the 
nicotine in tobacco has no predominance nor is it a direct agency in the cause 
24  
of Cancer of the Lip, Mouth or Tongue. It is the continued irritation 
brought about by pressure of the hard, hot pipe-stem, that is responsible for 
Cancer of the Lip. The irritation from the end of the stem, together with 
the hot smoke drawn into the mouth, is the exciting cause for Cancer of the 
tongue and mouth. 
Cancer of the Lower Lip may be occasioned by any irritation like the 
drying or cracking of the lip due to exposure to the wind and hot sun, injury 
from a tooth, etc. It very often begins as a scale or scab that repeatedly 
forms and comes off, finally resulting in a sore. There is no pain at first but 
when the little tumor or hardness begins to form, there will be a twinge of 
pain occasionally. Upon pressure with the finger, there may be a sticking 
pain similar to a thorn in the flesh. Sometimes there is a crawling, itching, 
burning sensation about the time the ulcer begins to form. As the sore gets 
larger, the pain becomes more severe and constant. 
There is a very ready connection between the structures of the lower lip 
and the glands of the neck. For this reason, Cancer of the Lower Lip gen- 
erally grows faster and more rapidly spreads over the chin to the deeper part 
of the lower jaw and the front of the neck. The lymphatic glands under the 
chin and jaw become involved. This is a danger signal that should be re- 
garded with the greatest concern. If the patient has not been under treat- 
ment up to this time or has been using a slow-acting or ineffective remedy, 
it now behooves him to secure the best possible treatment and services, for 
his life is in danger. 
Sometimes, Cancer of the Lip takes the form of a growth. The edges 
are indurated and roll out like a rose. The growth becomes large and heavy 
and the patient is compelled to wear a bandage to support the lip. 
Any sore on the lip or any other part of the face which refuses to heal, 
which tends to recur after it is apparently healed, should be given the vigor- 
ous treatment that all Cancers demand. 
Cancer of the Nose 
Cancer of the Nose is a very common occurrence. It most frequently 
develops on the side of the Nose, although it is sometimes found on the end, 
and occasionally on the lower part where the Nose joins the upper Lip. 
Cancer may be located on the Nose for the same reasons as on other 
portions of the Face, and for the additional reasons which determine irrita- 
tion of parts of the Nose. 
One of the early symptoms of Cancer of the Nose most frequently met 
with is a scale, the formation of which the patient may have observed at 
intervals for sometime. It also develops from warts or moles as well as 
from other sources of irritation. Because of the prominence of the Nose, 
25  
it is subject to frequent injury. It also becomes irritated from colds, freezing 
and sunburn. We have had some patients tell us that they attributed the 
local exciting cause to the irritation from wearing glasses, which rubbed the 
top or pinched the sides of the Nose. 
Regardless of the cause or manner in which Cancer of the Nose appears, 
its progress is certain if not arrested by proper treatment. Like Cancer of 
any other location, the local affection is small at first. When the sore forms, 
it will be surrounded by hard elevated edges or rim, gradually spreading out, 
becoming larger and more deeply seated. In some cases the Cancer is set 
on a base or pedestal, the growth or abnormal tissue bulging out similar to 
a puff-ball. In this case, it is generally of rapid development and becomes 
quite large. 
There is little, if any, pain at first. There may be itching and burning 
or a sensation similar to a brier in the flesh, and passing the finger over the 
parts will relieve the sensation temporarily. As the Cancer gets larger, the 
pain increases and becomes constant. 
Cancer of the Nose is nearly always Epithelioma, or Skin Cancer. It 
may grow slowly at first, but in advanced stages involves the bone and 
eventually becomes incurable. 
Any sore on the Nose or Face which refuses to heal under ordinary 
treatment should be regarded with suspicion. Do not be deceived by the 
advice, to "let it alone," or, "if it gets worse, come in and I'll cut it out." 
Virtually all cases of Cancer of the Nose can be cured if treated in time 
by the proper method. We have treated scores of cases and never fail to cure 
when we have the patient under our treatment in time. 
Cancer of the Eyelid 
Cancer does not often begin developing on the Eyelid proper, but is 
frequently found at the outer or inner corner of the Eye, especially the latter 
location. They are Epithelioma, or Skin Cancers, and are found at these 
locations because of the peculiar irritation common to the Eyes. 
The Eyes are lined with a very delicate mucous membrane that is easily 
injured and'inflamed and subject to irritation by the accumulation of dust. 
Tears run down the inner corner, and frequent wiping of the Eye finally 
adds to the irritation. 
Cancer of the Eyelid often develops from a small lump, pimple or sore, 
and from continued irritation and inflamed condition of the mucous mem- 
brane lining the lid. It sometimes begins in the form of a scale, as do other 
Skin Cancers of the face, and its course of development is very much the 
same. This is especially true of Cancer found at the inner corner of the Eye 
and just against the bridge of the nose. 
26  
Corner of Ladies' Reception Room 
The local manifestation of Cancer of the Eyelid, like Cancer of other 
locations, is slight at the beginning. It makes no difference in what form 
it first appears, the ultimate or final result is the same if the course of the 
disease is not arrested and overcome by proper medical treatment. From 
the first slight manifestation the Cancer continues to grow, gradually spread- 
ing out over the nose and down over the cheek, destroying the tissues in a 
frightful manner. 
Cancers which invade the Eye are more painful because of the tender 
nature of the Eye, and are more inclined to swell because of the open, loose 
tissue of the Eyelids. They are also more difficult to treat because of the 
pain incident to irritation to the Eye. 
Any person having Cancer of the Eyelid, or a suspicious condition near 
or on the lid, should by all means procure competent medical advice and 
treatment. The time to treat Cancer is when it is young. 
27  
Cancer of the Ear 
The External Ear is a very common location for Cancer to make its 
appearance. At this location it is always Epithelioma, or Skin Cancer. 
It usually commences on the edge or back of the Ear, the location being 
determined by the seat of irritation. 
Among the many local exciting causes for Cancer of the Ear might be 
enumerated: Freezing, sunburn, moles, warts, scratches and other injuries. 
Many times it commences in the form of a scale and proceeds to develop in 
the same manner, with similar symptoms and peculiarities as in Epithelioma 
of the Face. We must allow, however, for variance in all cases of Cancer, 
even when of the same type and same location. The reason for this is the 
physical condition of the patient, condition of the blood, the character and 
extent of local irritation, as referred to under "Cause of Cancer." 
When the Cancer develops on the upper part of the Ear it communicates 
to the side of the head. When it attacks the middle of the Ear it spreads 
to the head behind the Ear and often toward the front over the external 
auditory canal and out on the face. When the lower portion of the ear is 
attacked the Cancer spreads downward under the Ear to the neck and in- 
ferior maxillary or jaw. At this point the lymphatic glands become involved, 
and lumps form under the jaw. 
Cancer of the Neck 
Cancer of the Neck is due to the same causes as on the upper part of the 
Face. Generally it is not so frequently found on the Neck because of the 
difference in the character of the skin and the degree of protection of the 
parts from exposure. 
Cancer on the back of the Neck can often be traced to irritation by 
collar buttons and ill-fitting, stiff, heavy collars of the clothing, frequent 
cutting of a mole, etc. Cancer of the front and sides of the Neck are the 
more dangerous because of the proximity of other organs, and because of 
the danger of early involvement of the glands of the Neck. 
A Cancer on the Neck situated just back and below the angle of the 
Jaw is liable to involve the great vessels and the parotid gland, and if neg- 
lected its cure is a serious matter. 
The early symptoms of Cancer of the Neck are very much the same as 
in other Skin Cancers. If not overcome by proper treatment the tendency, 
as in all cases of Cancer, is gradually to get worse. From a small spot it 
develops into a large, ugly ulcer with rolled or hard, elevated edges, and a 
foul smelling discharge that is generally characteristic of Cancer wounds. 
In this stage, pain is constant and severe, extending down into the shoulders 
28  
and up into the head. The patient cannot get into a comfortable position, 
sitting or reclining, day or night. 
Do not allow your Cancer to develop into this stage. If it has already 
done so, by all means come to us without the loss of a moment's time. 
Cancer of the Hand 
Cancer of the Hand is quite common in men, and is usually Epithelioma 
or Skin Cancer. 
The contributing causes of Cancer in this location are many. It 
generally starts from a long standing wart or mole so situated that it is 
constantly irritated by repeated injuries. It may also start from a scaly 
condition on the back of the hand, a scar from a burn, an infected cut or 
bruise, and many times from a barb wire tear. 
The early symptoms and general course of the disease is similar to 
Epithelioma or Skin Cancer located elsewhere. From a small beginning it 
opens into a discharging wound, and because of the proximity of the liga- 
ments and bones, its growth, after becoming well defined, is generally quite 
rapid. The wound is ragged and irregular with edges elevated above the 
surrounding parts. There is considerable inflammation and the hand and 
fingers become swollen and stiff. 
There is no pain at the first appearance of Cancer on the Hand, but 
later on comes the itching, burning, darting and aching pains. Finally the 
pain extends to the elbow and shoulder, the glands under the arm become 
involved and the arm swollen. The longer the Cancer develops, the more 
exaggerated become the symptoms. We have known patients to submit to 
amputation of the Hand in a vain effort to escape the disease, but only to 
suffer a recurrence of the Cancer in a worse form. 
Cancer of Other Locations 
Cancer of other locations present symptoms virtually analogous to 
those described in the preceding chapters. There is scarcely a location or 
part of the human body that Cancer does not attack. It is true, of course, 
that certain locations are more often attacked than others. Those parts of 
the body most subject to irritation are more often the seat of the Cancer. 
As a rule, inaccessable Cancer, those not upon the outer surface of the 
body, are more difficult of diagnosis and are frequently quite far advanced 
before the true condition is discovered. In consequence of late diagnosis, 
cases of this character are difficult to deal with, and the percentage of recov- 
eries is not as great as it probably would be under early diagnosis and 
treatment. 
29  
The all-important thing in the treatment of Cancer, regardless of its 
location, is early and correct diagnosis, immediately followed by the best 
curative measures possible to precure. 
Lupus Vulgaris 
Lupus is a chronic tubercular skin disease, resembling in some respects 
Epithelioma. Although it cannot be called Cancer, yet it is a species of 
that disease and is often commonly called "Wolf Cancer." Its most frequent 
location is some part of the face-either the nose, cheek, eyelid or ear- 
although it may make its appearance on any part of the body and spread 
over a considerable surface. It usually attacks the skin only, but in rare 
instances cases have been found where it had extended to the more deeply 
seated tissues. 
It is difficult for one who is not familiar with the symptoms and charac- 
teristics of this disease to make a differential diagnosis, and frequently we 
have had patients apply to us for treatment supposing they were suffering 
from Skin Cancer; in fact, they had been treated for that disease, but on 
examination we found the disease to be Lupus. 
Diseases of Women 
The treatment of Diseases of Women and of the female organs is 
conjoint with that of Cancer. 
The majority of women who have Cancer, suffer from Cancer of the 
Uterus or Cancer of the Breast. The reproductive organs are in close 
intimate sympathy with the mammary glands or breasts. This is clearly 
shown at the menstrual function by the breasts becoming slightly firmer, 
sensitive and tender. This condition is more pronounced in some women 
than others, but is present to a more or less degree in all. 
Many cases of Cancer of the Breast have their origin from laceration, 
ulceration, misplacement, or some abnormal condition of the Uterus or 
Womb. Such abnormalities must be corrected, when present, and careful 
treatment of the proper kind is essential. 
We venture to say that by timely treatment of many Uterine derangements 
a Cancerous development at this location and of the breasts could be avoided. 
There are so many conditions of the Uterus that may exist, a thorough discus- 
sion of the varied conditions is not practical herein. Suffice it to say that any 
unnatural or abnormal condition of the Uterus should be given proper treat- 
ment promptly. It may save a serious surgical operation or prevent Cancer. 
We have given special attention to the treatment of all forms of Uterine 
diseases, and are prepared to successfully treat such conditions without 
surgical interference.

Microscopic Examination of the Blood 
These illustrations of red blood corpuscles are magnified about five 
hundred times. They show in striking contrast the condition of the blood 
of a healthy person as compared with that of one who has Cancer. This is 
conclusive evidence that Cancer is a blood disease-constitutional-as 
well as local. 
Figure 1 shows the appearance 
of the normal red blood corpuscles 
in a 1 per cent, solution of com- 
mon salt. The natural condition 
of the liquid part of the blood is 
.85 per cent, common salt. This 
is the condition under which the 
red blood corpuscles live and carry 
oxygen to the tissues. Inastronger 
salt solution they wrinkle up as 
shown in the picture, 
Figure 1. 
Figure 2 shows the blood of a can- 
cer patient in a 1 per cent, salt solu- 
tion. Many of the corpuscles have 
become depleted in their resistance 
and will no longer wrinkle up in the 
1 per cent, solution of salt. This is 
the common condition in persons 
whose Cancer is not very far ad- 
vanced. 
(Continued on Page 32)

It is by scientific examinations of this kind that the extent of constitu- 
tional invasion of Cancer is determined. It makes possible the proper selec- 
tion of important internal medication in conjunction with local treatment. 
Figure 3 shows the blood of a 
Cancer patient in which all the red 
corpuscles have become weakened 
and depleted so that they will not 
wrinkle up in a 1 per cent, salt 
solution. This is the condition 
called the resistance minima or 
least resistance. It is quite com- 
monly found in advanced or bad 
cases of Cancer,

Figure 4 represents the blood of 
a patient who has been cured of 
Cancer. The picture in Figure 4 
was taken from the blood of the 
same patient as Figure 3. Figure 
3 was made before treatment and 
Figure 4 after treatment when the 
patient was well and ready to re- 
turn home. This blood is also in a 
1 per cent, solution of common salt.

Importance of Internal Medication 
Cancer is one of those diseases which medical men call a chronic intoxi- 
cation-a disease of faulty elimination. It is the local manifestation of a 
chronic alkaline condition due to the retention of organic waste. Carbon 
dioxide is the principle offending material retained. The location of the 
Cancer is determined by chronic irritation either direct or reflex. 
We lay no claim to having discovered that Cancer is a constitutional 
disease. This was known to some investigators long before we took up 
Cancer treatment and scientific cancer research. It is doubtful, however, 
if there is another institution in this country where actual clinical research 
has been prosecuted so extensively as at this institution and where it has 
been so definitely determined that Cancer is most assuredly a constitutional 
disease as well as a local affection. By these determinations the importance 
of internal medication-treatment for the blood and general system-has 
been fully proved. 
We are advocating medical treatment for Cancer because we have 
proved to our own satisfaction that it is the most rational, modern and suc- 
cessful method. Because of the very nature of the disease it does not per- 
mit of any argument as to the best means for its successful treatment. 
And by successful treatment we mean treatment that not only removes 
the external Cancerous affection, but also eradicates the cause from the sys- 
tem or blood and gives lasting results to the patient. 
The Cancer commission of the American Association of Progressive 
Medicine in a special report on Cancer stated that, "Surgery has for years 
been the generally accepted treatment for Cancer. During the past sixty 
years the technique of surgery has been improved to a marvelous extent. 
Notwithstanding this, during the same period of years the mortality of 
Cancer has increased many fold." What are we to think of such a state- 
ment coming from a body of men who have made a special study of the 
subject. We at once conclude that surgery is not a cure for Cancer, that 
it fails of results because it removes only the external growth, leaving the 
original cause in the system to produce another Cancer. 
We do not claim to have learned all there is to know about Cancer, 
but we have learned that in every case there is a pre-cancerous condition, 
a condition of the system that is favorable to the development of Cancer, 
and that the longer the Cancer is present the greater becomes the constitu- 
tional invasion. 
A disease that has its origin from within the system and later shows 
itself in the form of a sore or tumor on the surface of the body, can hardly 
be expected to be cured by the mere taking out of such sore or tumor. 
We have long contended, and our contention has been repeatedly proved 
by our own work as well as by other investigators, that, to treat Cancer 
33  
Treatment Room Number One 
34  
successfully, the disease must be eradicated by both local and internal 
medication. 
Because of the peculiar constitutional condition incident to the pre- 
cancerous and Cancerous state, the Cancer patient is the victim of chronic 
constipation, passes a small amount of urine low in salts, has a defective 
blood low in its power to destroy waste, has hardened arteries and a high 
blood pressure, and a subnormal temperature. 
It is therefore necessary to give internal medicine and use electrical 
and mechanical measures to correct these conditions. As individuals 
differ, and as the cause of the conditions described differ, the treatment 
cannot be routine, it cannot be the same for all. A number of well known 
medicines are used to break up the constipation and promote elimination 
by the bowels. It may be that the constipation and torpidity of the bowels 
is caused by something not amenable to medicine. Then mechanical 
measures or electricity may be indicated. There can be no set rule for every 
case. There can be no one medical or mechanical formula. The desired 
end is free and regular elimination by the bowels. 
The same is true of the kidneys. They must be brought to a normal 
healthy elimination. The means must be individual and selected for each 
separate case. The cause of the defective elimination must be sought and 
removed. It must be understood that it is not the Cancer that is the cause 
of these irregularities, but that it is the condition resulting from these 
irregularities which is the cause of the Cancer. 
The condition of the blood and tissue juices must be corrected by in- 
ternal medicine. There are a number of well known remedies which will 
perform this office. They must be carefully selected according to the con- 
dition found in each individual patient. Cancer patients are nearly all 
old persons or at least past middle age. Their eliminating and glandular 
organs are not at their best. They must be helped by judicious treatment. 
All this is within the field of internal medicine. 
When all this has been done there remains only the destruction and re- 
moval of the Cancerous tumor. Its hardness, redness and soreness will 
have been removed by the medical treatment. The removal of the tumor 
must be radical and complete. There must be no temporizing. The method 
to be employed is a matter of selection depending upon the location and ad- 
vancement of the tumor, its rapidity of growth, and the resistance and sensi- 
tiveness of the patient. All successful methods of removal depend upon 
the fact that Cancer cells are not as resistant as normal cells. They are 
readily killed by medicine, chemicals and heat while normal cells around 
them are uninjured or only inflamed. 
From a diagnostic survey, surgery is not indicated as a curative measure 
in Cancer. There is an element of danger from X-rays in that there is as 
yet no method of regulating or controlling them so as to make them safe 
35  
Perspective View of Treatment Rooms, Numbers 2, 3 4. 5 and 6 
36  
and effective. The same is true of radium. Medical methods are the 
methods of choice because they are safer, surer, can be controlled, and pro- 
duce the desired results; that is, they cure the Cancer so that it does not 
return. By medical measures, indicated in each individual case, the cancer- 
ous tumor is killed. It comes out, leaving a healthy sore which is healed by 
ordinary methods. 
The importance of internal or constitutional medication in the treat- 
ment of Cancer cannot be over estimated. We venture to say that many 
curable cases of Cancer are not cured because too little importance is at- 
tached to the value of treatment for the blood. 
The Control of Cancer 
The chief hope of controlling Cancer and reducing the death-rate lies 
in the early recognition of the disease followed by efficient medical treat- 
ment. Thousands of lives are needlessly sacrificed for no other reason than 
ignorance and neglect. There is no reason why the Cancer patient should 
not seek prompt and competent medical services, as do patients who find 
themselves afflicted with some other malady or acute sickness. The usual 
cause for neglect is due to the fact that Cancer does not begin with an attack 
of severe illness or bodily suffering to alarm the patient. For this reason a 
different attitude toward Cancer prevails and occasions many preventable 
deaths. The unwillingness on the part of the patient to admit he has 
Cancer and to seek expert medical advice in time are also difficult obstacles 
to surmount in the control of the disease. 
Proof of th s fatal neglect is found in our daily correspondence. Many 
times patients have consulted us regarding a small sore or growth which 
showed every evidence of Cancer in its early stage. Because of absence of 
severe pain, and the slow development of the disease, the patient refused 
treatment, either believing in his own mind that he did not have Cancer 
or preferring to wait until the disease became more manifest. From a few 
months to a year or more, these patients again consult us and we find them 
in a most dangerous condition, some past any hope of a cure. 
It is indeed extremely rare that Cancer patients seek efficient treat- 
ment when the disease first appears. Most of this class of patients could, 
and certainly all should, come under proper treatment at the first suspicious 
symptoms, and then the control of Cancer would not be such a difficult 
problem. 
The control of Cancer lies not alone in the discovery of an infallible 
remedy that will cure every case regardless of location or stage of develop- 
ment, but in the education of the public. Because of the good and sufficient 
reason that Cancer is a progressive disease-does not get well voluntarily, 
as do many other diseases, but develops to a fatal end-there will never be 
37  
discovered an infallible cure for the disease in all its stages of advanced 
development. When cancer once appears its tendency is to continuously 
get worse, slowly or rapidly, as time goes on. If the disease is not promptly 
and properly treated and cured it invariably kills the patient unless some 
other disease intervenes and causes death. As surely as time goes on, just 
so surely does the development of Cancer go on, and one might just as well 
think of stopping the flight of time as to think of stopping the growth of 
Cancer after it has reached a certain stage. 
Unfortunately, there is no way to determine how soon or how late after 
the appearance of Cancer before it will result in the death of the victim. 
This fact together with the certain knowledge of the terrible fatality of the 
disease, should be sufficient incentive for anyone to procure proper treat- 
ment just as soon as it is known he has Cancer. You ask how you are to 
know you have cancer? Not being a physician you are not expected to 
know, but you do know when an unnatural lump appears, or a sore that will 
not heal. You know it is an abnormal condition-shouldn't be there-and 
knowing this you should consult a competent physician, one who knows a 
case of Cancer when he sees it. 
Cancer has its inception or origin from within the system, coming about 
through faulty elimination which results in chronic intoxication-a poison- 
ing of the system by the bodily waste material that is not properly eliminated 
or thrown off through the natural waste channels. The local or external 
Cancerous tumor or sore appears at a point made weak by injury or con- 
tinued irritation. A refactory lump or sore, one that does not subside 
under the simple remedies usually employed, nearly always, under the 
above conditions, means the beginning of Cancer. To cut or burn out the 
affected part does not remove the cause from the system. 
Symptoms of Cancer are generally present early and can be readily 
recognized by one who understands their significance. In many instances, 
however, the disease is not suspected by the patient until the symptoms 
are well pronounced or until there is a tumor or sore of considerable size. 
For this reason, and other reasons before cited, few patients come under 
treatment earlier than a year or more after the Cancer appears. Under 
these adverse circumstances the death toll from Cancer is great-needlessly 
great, because of ignorance or willful neglect. It behooves all of us to 
acquaint ourselves with the early symptoms of Cancer, for no one is exempt. 
To sum it all up, the control of Cancer-meaning its successful treat- 
ment-depends upon educating the public to recognize the early symptoms 
of the disease, to avoid untried, experimental and ineffective treatment 
that does not remove the cause from the blood and system, and go im- 
mediately to a legitimate Cancer specialist, one known to be reliable because 
of his large practice and record of hundreds of cures.

Cost of Treatment and Services 
If all cases of Cancer were exactly alike it would be an easy matter to 
set a price for treatment and services before seeing a patient. Necessarily, 
the charge must vary because of the difference in cases. 
In every instance the cost of treatment and services is governed by the 
severity of the case and the length of time the patient is required to be under 
treatment. When it is necessary for the patient to remain from one to four 
weeks, we make a weekly charge. In the more severe cases requiring a longer 
course of treatment, we make a flat rate, or stated price, for a specified length 
of time. Whether you pay by the week or for a course of treatment covering 
a specified length of time, the cost of treatment and services includes all 
medicines, bandages and dressings, appliances, treatments and everything 
necessary for the proper treatment of the case. 
It has always been our policy to make our charges as reasonable as pos- 
sible so that no patient is denied the benefit of our treatment and services 
because of inability to pay a large fee.

X-Ray 
The X-ray was discovered during the latter part of the year 1895 by a 
German Scientist, William Conrad Roentgen. Not being certain as to the 
nature of the rays, he called it X-ray. "X" signifies and means an unknown 
quantity. Hence, not fully knowing the nature, or quantity of the rays, 
they were called X-ray. The X-ray is sometimes referred to as Roentgen 
Rays, in honor of the discoverer. 
Shortly after the discovery of the X-ray, it was recommended and 
employed by many physicians as a cure for Cancer. Its employment in 
the treatment of this disease for several years by physicians in every part of 
the country proved that its value as a cure for Cancer was over-estimated. 
Notwithstanding the fact that the X-ray has proved a disappointment and 
failure in the treatment of Cancer, some physicians are still advocating 
its use. 
We have had many patients come to us who had been treated by X-ray, 
and we candidly believe that they were made worse by such treatment. The 
X-ray has been known to cause Cancer upon the operator using it as a cure 
and in other experimental work. In the Fifth Report of the Cancer Com- 
mission of Harvard University, this is acknowledged and there are shown 
photographs of growths on the hand, chest, abdomen and elsewhere of opera- 
tors using the X-ray, which growths, they say, "Microscopically cannot be 
distinguished from similar carcinomata (Cancer) of ordinary occurrence." 
In many cases applying to us for treatment, after having been repeated- 
ly exposed to X-rays, we have found it more difficult to heal the X-ray burn 
than it would have been to cure the primary Cancer. The rays pass freely 
through the various tissues and fluids of the body and cannot be confined 
entirely to the Cancer affected area. Tissue that has been repeatedly 
exposed to the X-rays, especially where dermatitis has been set up, is never 
quite restored to its normal condition. 
While we do not use and cannot recommend X-ray in the treatment of 
Cancer, it is a wonderful aid to the physician in general practice. It is of 
great value for locating foreign substances in the body, in locating fractures 
of the bone and in making diagnosis of internal diseases, but the full physio- 
logical effect of the X-rays are not yet clearly understood. 
If we are to base our opinion upon past results of experimental work, 
in the treatment of Cancer by X-ray, we must conclude that the X-ray is 
not a cure for Cancer. 
Radium 
Radium was discovered by French Scientists in the year 1898. It is a 
metallic element obtained from pitch-blende, a mineral usually found with 
40  
silver and lead ores. It is a white, crystalline substance with a strong 
illuminating power and its light, or rays, is said to be capable of piercing 
three feet of iron. 
A great deal has been published in daily papers and in magazines regard- 
ing Radium as a cure for Cancer. In our opinion this wide publicity has 
been very detrimental to the Cancer afflicted public. It has been the cause 
of a number of Cancer patients going to distant hospitals owning and using 
Radium for the treatment of Cancer. Other patients wait to see what 
the results are in these cases, thereby allowing their own cases to develop 
and grow worse. Cancer does not remain dormant. It either gets 
better under proper treatment, or it is gradually growing worse under im- 
proper treatment or no treatment at all. 
You have perhaps read of the wonderful claims made for the curative 
value of Radium as applied to Cancer, and also of different persons under- 
going its treatment, but have you read any authentic reports of permanent 
cures to substantiate these claims? 
We have had correspondence with a number of Cancer patients who have 
used Radium, and we regret to say that they have met with disappointment 
and failure. To illustrate we recite the following incident: We received a 
letter from the daughter of a man living in Illinois, the patient himself 
being physically unable to write. Her father was at that time at our insti- 
tution for treatment. He was slowly but surely improving, as the daily 
clinical records in our office showed. At that time there was so much 
newspaper publicity regarding Radium as a cure for Cancer, that this 
patient became dissatisfied and made up his mind to quit our treatment and 
give Radium a trial, believing that it would cure him quickly and fully. 
He received his first Radium treatment in December, and was told by 
the doctor to return in sixty days for his second treatment. Upon pre- 
senting himself the second time his condition was not improved, but was 
decidedly worse. The doctor who administered the Radium treatment 
then stated to him: "Radium is much misrepresented," and that "It does 
not cure." The daughter further wrote: "In my father's case we cannot 
see that it (Radium) has helped him at all." 
In a letter a few weeks later the daughter reported her father's death. 
While waiting to see what the effect of the Radium was going to be he grew 
rapidly worse until death ended his suffering. Did the Radium treatment 
hasten this patient's death? Some physicians claim that Radium stimulates 
Cancer to more rapid growth. That seems to have been the only effect in 
this case.

Your Clothing Requisites 
It is not necessary to bring a large amount of clothing when you come 
for treatment. The wearing apparel should be that which affords the most 
comfort, the same as you would wear in your own home. 
We encourage daily walks for exercise, when the weather permits, and in 
order to get the full beneficial effects of pure, fresh air, deep breathing and 
sunshine, the clothing must be comfortable. 
All dressings, bandages, individual towels, etc., are furnished by us 
free of charge. 
A Group of Our Nurses 
These nurses are especially trained in the care of cancer patients, and 
are in daily attendance upon all lady patients that apply to us for treat- 
ment. They are possessed of the rare faculty of anticipating the patient's 
every need; sympathetic, tender and indulgent, ever striving for the pa- 
tient's physical comfort and welfare.

I thought maybe I had better

has been so long ago since I was 
cured, some might think I was dead 
or left the city, but I am still here, 
stout and hearty, though I am nearly 
83 years old. I can pick up more 
potatoes in a day than any man or 
boy in the state of Iowa or any other 
state in America, and not complain 
of the backache. If my back began 
to ache I would just send for a box 
just like one coming back from the 
grave. May the good Lord bless 
you and all your kind nurses and 
doctors who are ever ready to help 
you and see to the patient's every 
want and comfort. 
Should you print this little arti- 
cle and anyone wishes to write me, 
I will be only too glad to answer all 
questions they may choose to ask 
me. 
May the good Lord bless you for 
your honesty and brotherly kindness

that awful disease, cancer, is my 
sincere prayer.

I do hereby say that, I believe Dr.

have not seen any signs of anything

advised an operation as soon as con- 
venient. I was at a loss to know 
what to do, so after consulting a few 
of my friends some said if it should 
be a cancer an operation would only 
spread the disease. I talked with 
our friend, Mr. F. A. Sheeley, who 
had been cured of a large cancer on 
his neck by you, and he advised your 
treatment. I felt the soreness was 
increasing quite fast, and at times 
it hurt me to my shoulder blade. I 
then described my case to Dr. John- 
son and he pronounced it cancer and 
advised me to begin treatment at 
once. I went to his office on April 
13, 1909, and began taking his treat- 
ment. 
I am very thankful for what Dr. 
Johnson has done for me. I have 
had no return of the trouble since, 
and I can recommend his treatment 
to anyone who is afflicted as I was. 
Yours respectfully, 
MRS. W. D. BURR.

curing on my face in 1913 is entirely 
healed up, leaving no scar at all. I 
can but say that any one who is 
afflicted as I have been should lose 
no time in going to you, as I am 
fully satisfied from my own exper- 
ience that if same can be cured, you 
can do the work.

I gladly testify to the good your 
treatment has done me. I had a 
cancer on the right side of my nose, 
at which I became greatly alarmed. 
A friend told me of the wonderful 
cure she had received from you. 
My cancer had been developing 
for eighteen months when I com- 
menced your treatment on June 5, 
1900. On July 1st I was entirely 
cured. There is scarcely any scar 
left, and I have no fears that it will 
ever give me any further trouble. 
I am very thankful for what you 
did for me. I will always speak in 
your favor, and will gladly answer 
all letters regarding your treatment. 
I am never too busy to answer a suf- 
ferer and advise them to try Dr. 
Johnson's treatment, for I feel con- 
fident they will not regret it. 1 am. 
willing to certify that I believe Dr.

will say: Go to Dr. Johnson and be 
cured as I was cured. If I could 
only speak to you personally, I think 
you would take courage and go to 
Dr. O. A. Johnson and be cured. 
Praised be to God for placing such a

Dear Doctor: 
After having been cured of cancer

Johnson's medical treatment eleven 
years ago, perhaps this testimonial 
will induce some sufferer to try the 
same, which would be my advice to 
them. 
For more than 18 months before I 
had Dr. Johnson treat my lip I suf- 
fered much pain. I wrote to many 
of his cured patients who advised me 
to try his treatment. I now sound 
his praise and say YOU try him. and 
you will do so, too. 
I commenced his treatment on the 
3rd day of May, 1906, and on the 3rd

cured of cancer of the right breast. 
The cure has been a permanent one, 
as I consider sufficient time has 
elapsed since you dismissed me for 
it to return if it was going to, so I 
feel that I am perfectly safe in giving 
my testimonial. There has never 
been a sign of the disease returning 
since you said I was cured. 
After having seen our home doc- 
tor he told me I would have to have 
an operation, but did not wish to 
frighten me by saying that I had 
cancer of the breast. I went to 
Omaha to consult a specialist, who 
said I must have an operation at 
once. I was operated on July 30, 
1908, and again September 1, 1908, 
but was not cured. 
Having heard of Dr. Johnson and 
his wonderful success in the treat- 
ment of cancer, I concluded to try 
his treatment, which proved very 
successful in my case. I went under 
Dr. Johnson's treatment December 
29, 1908. I am now enjoying good 
health, for which I am very thank- 
ful. 
I can recommend Dr. Johnson's 
treatment to other sufferers from, 
cancer.

Dear Doctor.: 
In regard to the cancer you cured 
on my lower lip, it pained me for two 
months. I went to a noted surgeon 
in Des Moines. He pronounced it 
cancer and said I had better have it 
cut out; but I would have had to 
take ether and being 78 years old I 
was afraid to take it. 
So I went to see Samuel Freel of 
Runnells, Iowa, a very truthful man. 
He said Dr. O. A. Johnson of Kansas 
City cured him. of cancer two years 
before and he felt as well as he ever 
did. 
Mr. Freel said he also had a neigh- 
bor who had been cured of cancer by 
Dr. O. A. Johnson three years before 
and was all right. I took Dr. John- 
son's treatment some over one month 
and came home cured, and the lip 
healed up so it can't hardly be 
noticed.

It is now almost three years since

which you removed, and healed the 
wound, leaving but a small scar. It

others that I saw while there. I

In 1900 a small sore came on my 
cheek. A doctor who was boarding 
with us said it was a cancer. He 
prescribed and healed it, but in two 
months it broke out again. I then 
tried two more local doctors, but 
each time it broke out again and soon 
became a running sore. My general

To Whom It May Concern: 
I had a growth on my left cheek 
about the size of a ten cent piece for 
several years. I went to several doc- 
tors here and had them to examine 
it. They pronounced it a skin can- 
cer. I doctored with one doctor 
here in the city for several weeks, 
but I received no benefit from him. 
I then heard of Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
of Kansas City, Mo. 1 went im- 
mediately to his office, and stayed in 
the city for five weeks and received 
his treatment. In that time he took 
it out and healed it up. The can- 
cer, when taken out, was the size 
of a fifty cent piece. 
It has been over four years since 
the cancer was taken out, and there 
is no sign of it ever returning. 
I advise anyone who has a sus- 
picious growth to go to Dr. Johnson 
and he will cure you, as he has cured 
me and many others.

of treating cancer is the only way for 
a permanent cure. 
I will take pleasure in writing and 
explaining more fully to anyone who 
wishes to correspond with me regard- 
ing your treatment. I feel that you 
are competent to handle any case you 
may accept. 
Hoping that your life may be 
spared, and that you may continue 
the good work, I am,

Dear Doctor: 
To those who are suffering from 
sores or cancer will say, I carried one 
on my face for seven years. It was 
not painful but continued to grow 
larger. I went to Dr. Johnson and 
with eight weeks' treatment it dis- 
appeared, I think for good, as there 
is no sign of it at the present time. 
I was treated about four years ago. 
My advice is, if you have anything 
of that nature, don't hesitate to con- 
sult Dr. Johnson, and the sooner the 
better. 
Yours truly, 
JUDGE A. D. MASON. 
I Am Indeed Very Thankful.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Sir: 
I am. indeed very thankful to be 
able to state to the people that Dr. 
O. A. Johnson can cure cancer. My 
advice is: Go to Dr. Johnson as 
soon as you know you have a cancer 
started. It takes less time to get 
them cured. I had a cancer started 
on my lower lip and went and stayed 
with the Doctor three weeks in Feb- 
ruary, 1911, came home and have 
worked every day since. I think 
my lip is cured. Anyone wishing to 
hear from me can write to me and I 
will be sure to praise Dr. Johnson's 
cancer remedy as high as I can. 
I hope this testimonial will be'the 
means of sending all cancer sufferers 
to Dr. Johnson's, where they can be 
cured. 
Yours truly,

Dear Doctor: 
It is with great pleasure that I 
write you this letter expressing to 
you my thankfulness for having 
cured me of that dreadful disease, 
cancer of the forehead. 
I had been an invalid for twenty 
years; had taken so much medicine 
that my blood was almost poisoned 
with drugs. Before I went to see 
you about the cancer I had been ex- 
amined by other doctors and they 
told me I had a cancer. One said 
to cut it out. I said, never! I was 
much run down, being afflicted with 
other diseases for years before the 
cancer broke out. I would almost 
feel at times like giving up, and 
would have done so if I had not 
trusted in a Higher Power. But

never given me any trouble.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Sir: 
I am feeling fine and have you to 
thank for that. 
After I had an operation for can- 
cer on my lip it appeared to heal over 
for a short time, but it came back. 
So I went to you September 8, 1912, 
and it will soon be five years since I 
begun your treatment. I was cured 
in six weeks, and I am still cured. 
My trouble began about four years 
before I went to you. 
Respectfully, 
MRS. R. P. JENSEN. 
1 consulted two other physicians 
and they would not treat my case, so 
I went to you and was cured in five 
weeks. You have also cured several 
of my friends and neighbors, and I 
can heartily recommend your treat- 
ment to anyone and would advise 
anyone with cancer to go to you at 
once. 
Yours very truly,

I am writing you to let you know 
that my lip that you doctored for 
cancer in 1908 is entirely cured. I 
have not had a pain or any soreness 
from it since being cured, and 1 feel 
so grateful for what you have done 
for me. I had a sister that had one 
taken from her breast with a knife 
but she had to go back to the hos-

This Vicinity. 
Waverly, Kans., June 23, 1917. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I had a growth on my under lip 
that had been growing for a number 
of years, and at times there were 
shooting pains from it affecting my 
whole under lip. It caused me a 
great deal of uneasiness, for I had a 
fear that some day it would result in 
a cancer. I naturally read of many 
treatments for that disease, as well 
as my observation of others who had 
been treated for that disease. The 
more I saw the less I was inclined to 
the knife, or cutting-out treatment. 
In the meantime my lip broke out 
and began to spread and get larger 
and deeper, and as Dr. Johnson's 
treatment impressed me as being 
more to my mind, I went to consult 
him. Being satisfied, I begun his 
treatment and was cured. It has 
been over twelve years since I was 
treated and I have not had any in- 
dication of a return since 1 was pro- 
nounced cured, so I am persuaded 
that the cure is permanent. My 
experience has been the experience 
of several others from this vicinity 
who have been treated by Dr. John- 
son.

suffered mental anxiety, for 1 did 
not believe cancer could be cured. I 
was given treatment by a cancer 
doctor, and was not benefited. I 
also took a month's treatment from 
Dr. Johnson. As I had no con- 
fidence in myself, and did not know 
what to expect, became discouraged 
and went to Dr. Johnson to be under 
his personal care. I remained three 
weeks, and he pronounced me cured. 
That has been nearly ten years ago. 
I have had no return of the disease.

Dear Friend and Doctor: 
After ten years of being entirely 
free from suffering from a tumor, 
which Dr. Johnson removed, I am 
heartily glad to recommend Dr. 
Johnson and his treatment to any 
afflicted either with tumor or cancer. 
I had suffered intensely for 25 
years with a tumor on my limb and 
in June, 1907, Dr. Johnson began 
his treatment, and each day until 
the 1st of July, I was at his office. 
After returning home I continued 
treatment until in August. At that 
time the wound was entirely healed, 
and I have never had the slightest 
soreness in the limb, and it is en- 
tirely healed and perfectly normal. 
I saw many cases of cancer while 
taking my treatment that were 
cured and I can only give Dr. John- 
son my highest praise and com- 
mendation and consider him one of 
the eminent men of the day. I 
found Dr. Johnson a very frank, 
kind-hearted, and ever courteous 
man and certainly a physician of 
marked ability. 
Wishing him the best of success 
and ever ready to give my heartiest 
support and praise for his work, I am 
Sincerely,

Percy, Iowa, June 22, 1917. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
As the years go by with no signs 
of a recurrence of that most malig- 
nant disease, cancer, with which I 
was afflicted, words fail me in the 
expression of my gratitude to you 
for a cure which, without question, 
is permanent. 
For two years there was on my 
lower lip a small growth that an- 
noyed me considerably and which, 
upon examination, proved to be an 
epithelioma cancer. I was treated 
by a local physician for more than a 
year, during which time he pro- 
nounced it cured; but in a short 
time it returned and rapidly in- 
creased in size. 
I consulted others, some of whom 
advised the X-ray, while another, 
one of the leading physicians of Des 
Moines, thought an operation neces- 
sary. I had always had a horror of 
operations but finally consented and 
made arrangements for it; but when 
on my way to the hospital, 1 met 
J. B. Stewart, of Runnells, Iowa, who 
had been successfully treated by 
you, and upon his recommendation 
I went to Kansas City instead of the 
hospital. 
During my stay there I was 
treated with the utmost courtesy, 
and after eight years, I feel positive 
that Dr. Johnson's medical treat- 
ment has permanently cured me 
and heartily recommend it to any 
who are afflicted with cancer. 
I would be glad to answer any 
correspondence from anyone suffer- 
ing from cancer who is desirous of 
knowing the details of my cure. 
Thanking you again for your kind- 
ness and the good health I enjoy, and

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I am so well pleased with your 
services, and having such intimate 
knowledge of your great work, I 
want to offer my support to your 
institution for the good it may do 
others. 
For two or three years I was 
troubled with something on the right 
side of my nose. It did not seem 
to amount to anything at first and I 
kept thinking it would disappear. 
Instead of getting better the place 
seemed to gradually get worse until 
finally the growth broke out into a 
sore. The place was discharging and 
gave me considerable annoyance by 
a clawing, crawling and burning sen- 
sation. This condition went on for 
a year and a half, when I came to 
realize 1 had something more serious 
than a simple sore or ulcer. 
I began to have serious thoughts of 
having it treated, and on the advice 
of my friend, Mr. J. N. Hodson, who 
now lives here, and whom you cured 
of cancer some years ago, I went to 
Kansas City to see you. Mr. Hod- 
son thought my trouble was cancer, 
and so did I, and our fears were 
confirmed by your diagnosis. You 
told me you could cure me, and that 
was just what I wanted to hear. I 
remained under personal treatment 
three weeks and two days, from 
March 22, 1915. 
I met many cancer patients at 
your place, and as strange as it may 
seem, I did not see a man or woman 
but what was satisfied with your 
treatment. One man came in about 
a week after I did who had a cancer

Dear Doctor: 
It is with pleasure that I write you 
this letter to inform you that you 
have cured me of a very bad case of 
cancer on the left eye. It was with 
me 20 years before I ever noticed 
your advertisement. 
My cancer started as a little pim- 
ple or wart. It was the 21st of 
November, 1913, that I came to 
your place, and inside of four weeks 
I was entirely cured. 
I recommend you as one of the 
best doctors to cure cancer, and I 
am very thankful for your work. I 
have told a great many people of 
you, and will always continue to.

No Faith in the Use of the Knife. 
Unionville, Mo., June 20, 1917. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
Wishing the afflicted to know of 
my permanent cure of cancer, I make 
the following statement which may 
be of interest to you, and also to 
those who may be anxious to get 
cured of cancer. 
In the winter of 1902 there ap- 
peared on my left cheek a little scale 
or scab that annoyed me some by an 
itching and burning sensation, and 
in other ways that were unpleasant. 
It gradually developed into an un- 
healing sore. 
medical treatment, my cancer was 
killed and dropped out. In one 
month the sore had entirely healed, 
leaving only a very small scar. 
I am now past 69 years old andjn 
excellent health. Many thanks to 
you, Doctor, for same. I will ever 
praise your treatment and will ap- 
preciate the opportunity to recom- 
mend same to anyone suffering with 
cancer. 
I will answer any question in re- 
gard to my case that anyone wishes 
to ask. 
Very truly yours, 
J. N. HOBSON. 
I consulted many physicians about 
my case. Some would tell me that 
it was epithelioma cancer, and would 
add that by the use of the knife 
sometimes they could rid the patient 
of cancer. To our knowledge, where 
the knife was used, they had invaria- 
bly gotten rid of the patient. 
Thus, having no faith in the use of 
the knife, and after spending more 
money for patent medicine that was 
recommended for the cure of cancer 
than your entire treatment cost me, 
in October, 1909, I began treatment 
at your office. 
In ten days, by the use of your

Dr. O. A. Johnson,

Dear Doctor: 
I was afflicted ten or twelve years 
with a very obstinate cancer in the 
corner of my right eye. The sore 
was not very large, but on account 
of the delicate location it was a 
difficult place to treat. Dr. John- 
son has finally cured me, and as I 
have been well long enough to satisfy 
myself that I have gotten the results 
I have long sought, I am ready to 
recommend his treatment. 
My business calls me to Kansas 
City occasionally and I never fail to 
visit Dr. Johnson's office when I am 
in the city. I always find him and 
his assistants busy with many pa- 
tients, and it is a pleasure to me to 
see how grateful they are for the 
relief they are getting. 
I consider Dr. Johnson the best 
man in the business, and I advise 
you all to go to him promptly. 
Yours truly,

to go to Dr. O. A. Johnson and be 
cured. I cannot praise Dr. Johnson 
too much for the great work he is

Dear Doctor: 
I have read a great many testi- 
monials from your former patients, 
who are helping save cancer sufferers 
by sending them to you. 
I am glad to give my endorsement 
of your treatment and ability to cure 
cancer, and shall do all I can to help 
convince the afflicted that they can 
be cured if they will only take your 
treatment in time. 
I suffered from a cancer on the 
right side of my nose, near the cor- 
ner of my eye, for three years. It 
had grown to about the size of a 
quarter of a dollar, and was giving 
me a great deal of trouble and 
anxiety. I feel sure that had I not 
received your treatment when I did 
it would have destroyed my eye. 
I have always felt very thankful that 
I went to you as soon as I did for I 
realize now that when a cancer 
begins on a person it continues to 
grow until it causes death. 
It has been just 14 years since you 
cured me, and I have never experi- 
enced the slightest trouble from the 
cancer in all that time. I can truly 
say that I have been permanently 
cured, and it required only three 
weeks for you to cure me. Of course 
I took your constitutional treatment 
a short time after the cancer was 
cured. I think every one who has 
cancer should take a good blood 
medicine and continue taking it for 
a short time after the cancer is 
healed.

Mr. Dear Doctor: 
I can truly say I am glad to rec- 
ommend Doctor Johnson s treat- 
ment for cancer to all who are 
afflicted with that dreaded disease. 
1 suffered with cancer of the 
right breast for about a year, which 
was of a very rapid growth, and at 
the time 1 went to Doctor Johnson 
for treatment it had reached the 
stage of blood poison. 
It is now over eight years ago and 
the cancer has shown no indications 
of returning, and my general health 
is better than it ever was before; so 
I feel that I am permanently cured. 
While there taking treatment, 1 
saw many different kinds of cancer 
that were cured, so I heartily rec- 
ommend anyone who is suffering 
from cancer to go to Doctor Johnson, 
but don't put it off until it is too late. 
I shall be glad to answer any in- 
quiries from anyone in regard to 
Doctor Johnson's treatment.

wrote to you, although my doctors 
told me that my only hope was in 
further operations. 
I started your treatment and 
found that the left breast was by 
this time also infected so you treated 
the breast and the lump on my 
neck. In six months the disease 
was removed from both places and 
entirely healed up, but I was in such 
a run down condition that I took 
your tonic for some time afterwards. 
I continued to build up, gain in 
weight, got a clear complexion and 
felt like a new person. 
There has not been the least sign 
of the disease returning, and there is 
no doubt but what I would not have 
lived a year after my second opera- 
tion had I not treated with you. 
I wish you every success in your 
work and it certainly pleases me to 
see how your business has grown in 
the last ten years. I am, at any 
time, ready to heartily recommend 
your treatment to any one suffering

me to go to Dr. Johnson, and I did. 
I went there May 29, 1912, and in

Gawker City, Kans., June 16,1917. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
As you have cured me of cancer of 
the breast, I feel that it is my duty to 
suffering humanity to give you this 
letter of recommendation. I cannot 
speak too highly of your treatment, 
and I consider that you are a com- 
petent and successful physician in 
your line of work . 
I will gladly recommend you to 
anyone suffering from cancer, and 
will advise them to apply to you for 
treatment. I know you can cure 
this trouble as you cured a neighbor 
of ours. It was through his advice 
that I went to you and I have known 
quite a number personally whom you 
have cured. 
My trouble was caused by an 
accident several years before treat- 
ment. I have talked with others 
and they state that their trouble 
started from a similar cause. I 
think any one meeting with an ac- 
cident should go to a physician and 
have it attended to at once. My 
experience has taught me that this 
trouble can be cured much more 
easily in its early stages than later 
on. 
It is now eleven years since you 
pronounced me cured. There are no 
symptoms at all of it returning; no 
pain at all in my breast and I have 
no anxiety whatever of its recurrence. 
I feel I have been cured just the 
same as I would of any other dis- 
ease I had been treated for and got- 
ten well. 
I think you are a God-send to suf- 
fering humanity, and will gladly 
answer any inquiries concerning your 
treatment of my case. 
Yours respectfully, 
MRS. J. W. HIGGINS. 
I had the lump about eight years 
when it began to pain and affect the 
arm and hand. Sometimes the pain 
was so severe I could not close the 
hand at times. Now the arm and 
hand are as strong as the other. 
Everyone says they never saw me 
look better. 
I wish everyone having a suspi- 
cious, growth, lump or cancer, would 
go to you for treatment before it is 
too late. I know they will never 
regret it. 
I will gladly answer any queries. 
Yours truly, 
MISS ROSE L. EPPELSHEIMER.

Having Been Cured Over 17 Years, 
I Can Say Your Treatment is 
Perfectly Satisfactory. 
On April 24, 1914, I called upon 
you for treatment of a cancer on the 
left side of my upper lip; also one 
under my left eye and another on 
my chest. I had been bothered 
with this trouble for three years, and 
at the time I came to you it had 
been developing very rapidly. 
I am now past 83 years of age, 
and enjoying excellent health, which 
I attribute to the good treatment 
received at your hands. It has been 
more than three years since I re- 
turned home from your office, so I 
now consider myself permanently 
cured of cancer. 
In view of my own cure and the 
cure of others which I know have 
been performed, I can conscien- 
tiously recommend you to all cancer 
sufferers. My advice is that anyone 
afflicted with this disease go to see 
you as soon as they possibly can. 
I shall be very glad if this letter 
is the means of directing some 
afflicted person to you. 
With best wishes for your con- 
tinued success, I remain, 
Yours very truly, 
W. C. BOHANNON.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Dr. Johnson: 
I am pleased to testify to your 
ability to cure cancer. 
I had a cancer on the left side of 
my nose. It had been troubling me 
for at least six years. I was doctored 
for two years by the best doctors in 
this vicinity, but instead of growing 
better it gradually grew worse. 
At last one day I picked up a 
paper containing your advertise- 
ment and I immediately decided 
to come to you for treatment. After 
having five treatments, during which 
I was away from home only a week, 
I returned home on Tuesday and 
the following Saturday the cancer 
dropped out, roots and all. 
After having been cured for over 
17 years, I wish to say that the re- 
sults of your treatment are perfectly 
satisfactory in every way. 
I can heartily recommend your 
treatment to all who suffer from the 
most dreaded of all diseases-cancer. 
Sincerely, 
J. W. HAPGOOD. 
There Is No Scar to Speak Of. 
I Shall Be Very Glad.

Dear Doctor: 
I will write a few lines to let you 
know how I am getting along. It is 
four years since I took your treat- 
ment for cancer and there is no scar 
to speak of. 
1 am glad to recommend your 
treatment to anyone afflicted with 
cancer. 
Yours respectfully, 
McGANNON BARNES. 
Syracuse, Mo., June 26, 1917. 
Dear Dr. Johnson: 
I am glad to make this statement 
about the cure of my cancer, and 
you can publish it for the good it 
will do others. 
Rev. F. C. Richards, of this city, 
advised me to go to you for treat- 
ment. I also knew several other 
persons in this community whom you 
had successfully treated, so decided 
to go to you at once.

The Retrospection of Those Years 
Brings to Me Only One Re- 
gret-That I Did Not Take 
Your Treatment One Year 
Earlier. 
Again thanking you for the cure 
you have effected, and the kindness 
and .courtesy extended to me wTile 
under treatment, 1 am, 
Sincerely and gratefully yours,

O. A. Johnson, M.D., 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
Being aware of your desire to keep 
in touch with your former patients, 
and as I have not written to you for 
over one year, I thought it high time 
you were hearing from me. 
It is a little over eight years since 
you cured me of epithelioma Geni- 
talis by your medical treatment. It 
is highly gratifying to me to be able 
to inform you that since the date 
of my cure, July 7, 1909, not the 
slightest symptom of recurrence of 
the cancer has appeared; and my 
health being excellent since that 
date, I have every reason to believe 
that the cure is of a permanent char- 
acter. 
The retrospection of those years 
brings to me only one regret, i. e., 
that I did not take your treatment 
one year earlier, thereby avoiding 
months of intense, almost unbear- 
able physical and mental suffering 
1 endured previous to calling at 
your office. 
Most heartily do I commend your 
medical treatment for the cure of 
cancer, and I would earnestly advise 
all persons afflicted with cancer to 
call on you without a minute's un- 
necessary delay, and take your treat- 
ment until cured. 
You may refer to me anyone 
afflicted with cancer as I was and I 
will cheerfully give him a detailed 
description of my case and its cure 
by your treatment. You also have 
my permission to publish this letter 
if you see fit to do so. 
I Doctored Here for 3 Years, But 
It Did Not Help Me. 
Charter Oak, Iowa, June 27, 1917. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
My Dear Friend: 
It is three years and a half since 
you cured me of my cancer on the 
neck. I couldn't tell that I ever 
had cancer, only when I wash my 
neck I can feel the scar. Then I 
think of Dr. O. A. Johnson, who 
cured me. 
I doctored here for three years, but 
it did not help me. I came to Dr. 0. 
A. Johnson and he made a quick 
process of it. In three weeks my 
cancer was out and I could go home. 
I am rid of it and I know it will nevei 
come back. 
My dear Doctor, I think I will 
come and visit you this fall. 
With best regards, I am, 
Your dear friend, 
LOUIS MESENBRINK.

Dr. Johnson is Able to Cure Any 
Cancer That Can Be Cured. 
October 17, 1912, I took the train 
for Kansas City, Mo., where I ar- 
rived the next day. Here I was 
treated by Dr. O. A. Johnson and in 
two weeks my growth was gone, and 
two weeks more the wound was 
nearly healed. Then I went home 
and two weeks after my wound was 
healed and a little scar shows where 
the growth was. 
Having seen many patients afflict- 
ed with cancer at Dr. O. A. John- 
son's office, who were cured and some 
who had been cured four years 
before, I am able to testify that Dr. 
O. A. Johnson is able to cure any 
cancer that can be cured. There- 
fore, I advise every person who is 
afflicted with that dreadful disease, 
cancer, to go to Dr. O. A. Johnson- 
for treatment immediately. 
You may refer anyone to me wish- 
ing to know more of your method of 
treatment. I will be pleased to tell 
them what I know of it. 
Wishing you every success in your 
noble work, and with many thanks 
for your and your assistants kind- 
ness and courtesy during my treat- 
ment, I am, 
Yours very truly,

an ulcer. I put some lard mixed

with kerosene on it. Then it opened, 
discharged, healed up, and seemed 
to have disappeared, but by and by 
it appeared again. Being told by 
a Lutheran minister in Rochester, 
Minn., eight years ago, that a man 
in Rochester, Minn., with a cancer 
who could not be cured there, went 
to a doctor in Kansas City, Mo., 
where he was cured. Having a 
friend who had a cancer and to die 
because he waited too long to seek 
help, I wrote to Dr. O. A. Johnson 
about my growth and he advised 
me to come to him. to have it cured 
by his medical treatment.

money and the cancer a great deal 
worse than it was when he com- 
menced. 
Nine years ago I heard of Dr. O. 
A. Johnson's medical treatment. I 
went to him and he took it all out, 
root and all. That has been nine 
years and it is healed in nicely and I 
never expect any more trouble with 
it. 
Dr. Johnson gave me medicine in- 
ternally as well as externally, which 
cleared up my system. I am in 
better health today, and have been 
for eight years, than I have been 
in forty years. I eat well and 
sleep well, and am enjoying life; 
not an ache or pain in my system. 
Now I am not paid for making this 
statement, as many suppose. I do 
it for the good of suffering humanity. 
You will find Dr. Johnson and his 
aids gentlemen and ladies. I would 
advise all cancer sufferers to go 
there. 
Yours truly, 
S. R. GUFFEY.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
My Dear Friend: 
I was a sufferer from a cancer on 
my lower lip. I tried several reme- 
dies but none did any good. I 
heard of Dr. Johnson's success, so 
went to him and he cured me. That 
has been more than twelve years 
ago. I give him great praise for 
what he has done for me, and what 
he has done for me he can do for 
others. I sent my cousin, Mrs. 
Emily Chuning, of Bigelow, Mo., to 
Dr. Johnson and he cured her of a 
cancer behind the right ear. 
I cannot recommend Dr. Johnson 
too highly for his great work. Go to 
him before you try others and you 
will not be disappointed. 
I will gladly answer any questions 
that may be asked me in regard to 
my case. 
Yours truly, 
J. F. BRIDGMAN.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
The first that I noticed of my can- 
cer was the appearance of a little 
scale or scab on my nose. It would 
come off and then scale up again. 
In 1906 it opened to a great sore, 
and four doctors said it was cancer. 
I went to Dr. Johnson and was cured 
in four weeks. I have not been 
bothered any since. 
I would like to tell everybody 
afflicted as I was what you have done 
for me. Again thanking you for 
what you have done for me, I re- 
main, as ever, 
Your old patient,

To All Whom It May Concern: 
I certify that I am now past 89 
years old. 1 never expect to pass 
this way again; therefore, I feel it 
my duty to do as much good as I 
can and as little harm. 
Eleven years ago I was afflicted 
with a bad cancer on my left hand 
between the thumb and fore finger, 
low down in the forks. I was treated 
for eight months by home doctors. 
Then I took X-ray eight months and 
twice in this time he called it cured 
and let me go home, but it was not 
cured. It would break out again. 
This treatment is nothing but a burn 
away. I left him with $200.00 less

Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
It is with great pleasure that I 
once more write you my thankful- 
ness to you for having cured me of 
that dread disease, cancer of the 
breast. 
The cancer was on my right breast, 
at first a small lump. It kept grow- 
ing for about five years until it be- 
came an open sore of six by five and 
a half inches and discharging a bad 
odor about one and a half years 
before I began treating with you, 
when you soon caused a change in it. 
I took your treatment partly at 
home and partly at your office. I 
felt that you were going to cure me, 
and can now say that you did. It is 
about eleven years since you said 
I was cured, and I feel that I am 
cured and by your method of treat- 
ing. 
when I began to treat, and in the 
eleven years past I have never re- 
gretted doing so. 
I give you permission to refer to 
me and I will try to answer anyone 
who writes to me. 
Wishing you a long life and suc- 
cess in your good work, I remain, 
Sincerely,

Dr. O. A. Johnson,

Dear Doctor: 
Yours received today and I will 
answer right away. I will give you 
my experience as I remember it. 
My first treatment was in Omaha. 
1 was sent there by my doctor in 
July, 1904. A cancer was cut out 
from the lower eyelid of my right 
eye. They said I was cured, and I 
went home. On Christmas of the 
same year I went back to Omaha and 
was knifed again. This time they 
cut the cancer out from under my 
left eye. My next experience with 
cancer was in July, 1905. 1 went 
to Kansas City, Mo., to Dr. O. A. 
Johnson. He treated me with his 
medical treatment and 1 was cured. 
This has been twelve years ago and 
there is no sign of the cancer re- 
turning. 
Yours truly, 
DAVID PAUL. 
Dr. Johnson to anyone suffering from 
cancer or anything of that appear- 
ance, to go to him at first sign of 
cancer, for I know he can cure; if not 
he will tell you so and not take your 
money and give you nothing in re- 
turn. 
Dr. Johnson is a most honorable 
gentleman and very proficient in his 
business. It is with pleasure that 1 
testify to his ability as a cancer 
specialist.

Dear Doctor: 
It has been a long time since 1 last 
wrote you or heard anything from 
you, and was sure pleased to receive 
your letter of recent date making in- 
quiry as to my health and other 
things. I wish to assure you, never- 
theless, I have never forgotten since 
taking treatment from you for can- 
cer on my left breast ten years ago 
last January. 
Prior to the time I went to see and 
consult you, I had been troubled con- 
stantly for four or five years, and 
at times quite severely, from ner- 
vousness, itching, burning and draw- 
ing sensations that were not only- 
annoying but very painful. Not- 
withstanding this I was reluctant 
about making a visit to consult you 
as my mother had died from cancer 
troubles; also my own dear wife, 
who had been operated on under the 
knife on two different occasions, and

Cor. Franklin and Limit Sts. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Sir: 
It is now ten years ago this month 
that I was cured by you of cancer on 
the hand, with no sign of any return. 
I cannot be thankful enough that I 
put myself under your treatment, 
as I had been treated by several 
physicians and had had the cancer 
removed by the knife, but it soon 
came back worse than ever. 
I would most heartily recommend 
80  
treated by a specialist with a plaster 
treatment, after many months of 
painful suffering, died. Therefore, 
I had but little confidence in cancer 
specialists but finally felt driven to 
do, or try to do, something and de- 
cided to visit you. 
After consulting you, you told me 
plainly that it was cancer, although 
I did not need to be told this as I 
knew that much about it; but when 
you told me that you could cure me, 
it was quite a relief to me. I think 
it was about the most satisfactory 
and pleasing thing that could have 
been told to anyone. 
You gave me one treatment and 
asked me to remain with you one 
week, after which I could go home 
and that if I would treat myself 
intelligently, strictly according to 
directions, I would, in one, two or 
three months, be relieved and well. 
1 observed the treatment closely and 
asked if you expected to continue the 
same treatment while I remained 
with you. You replied the treat- 
ment would be the same. Being at 
a very busy season, doing clerical 
and office work at the time, I asked 
you to let me return home-that I 
could administer the treatment my- 
self-which you consented to and I 
returned the same day I met you 
at your office. I reported my condi- 
tion carefully and accurately each 
week, when you sent a change or 
addition to the treatment; and two 
weeks from, that time 1 called on 
you. 
Up to the present time, which is 
ten and a half years ago, I have not 
had an hour's uneasiness or trouble. 
I don't mean to say I felt myself 
cured in two weeks, but did feel a 
wonderful relief from the nervous- 
ness, itching and burning pain I had 
undergone for five previous years. 
1 reported to you regularly and kept 
up your treatment, perhaps even 
longer than necessary, for five or 
six months-long after all symp- 
toms had disappeared. 
Since that time I have never had 
any signs or symptoms of recurrence. 
If I had, I surely would have been 
back to see you again. This, how- 
ever, does not imply that I have not 
seen you since, for 1 have visited 
your city many times and have 
always called on you to pay my 
compliments and extend to you my 
best wishes in return for what you 
have done for me. 
It has also been my good pleasure 
to recommend quite a number of my 
afflicted friends to you, and so far as 
1 know, all who have gone to you 
have been successfully treated and 
came back with thankful hearts 
praising the manner in which you 
treated them. 
With personal kind regards and 
best wishes, 1 beg to remain, 
Sincerely yours, 
COL. J. R. RATEKIN. 
Safest and Surest Cure for Can- 
cer. 
Humansville, Mo., June 16, 1917. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I can personally recommend Dr. 
O. A. Johnson for the permanent 
cure of my cancer. 1 had four differ- 
ent physicians examine me, but was 
treated by none of them. The can- 
cer was on my face five years. It 
has been eight years since 1 was 
cured, and I can safely recommend 
Dr. Johnson's treatment to persons 
suffering from, cancer as the safest 
and surest cure for cancer, for I am 
permanently cured. 
On October 22, last year, I was 
81 years old. My cancer has never 
bothered me a bit; it is permanently 
cured and gives me no trouble at all. 
Yours truly,

1909, and in February, 1911, all 
my wounds were healed. Since that 
time I have been in perfect health 
and all my friends think it a miracle 
that I am a well woman, knowing 
the condition I was in when I first 
came to you. 
You have already had one testi-

The good you are doing should be 
heralded from the house tops. It is 
my one desire to see that those 
suffering with cancerous diseases be 
brought to your attention. 
For myself I can say that 1 feel 
permanently cured of that dread 
disease, for which you have my 
heartfelt good wishes for the con- 
tinuance of your meritorious work.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
It affords me much pleasure in 
being able, from personal experience, 
to fully indorse your method of 
treating that dread disease cancer. 
For about six years I had a cancer- 
ous trouble on the side of my nose, 
and after experimenting with home 
doctors without benefit, I went to 
Kansas City to see what you were 
doing, and became satisfied to give 
you a trial. This was December 1, 
1912. After three weeks with you 
I returned home, and I consider 
myself cured. All I have to show is 
a scar on the side of my nose, and 
not a bad scar either. No sign of 
further trouble. 
My advice is not to let anyone 
only a specialist meddle with those 
serious troubles. I advise all of 
those afflicted to go and see Dr. John- 
son for themselves.

Dear Doctor: 
I went to Kansas City in February, 
1901, and received your treatment 
for cancer of the lower lip, which you 
cured. 1 stayed there about three 
weeks, and you killed it all and took 
it out. You gave me medicine and 
told me I could go home and heal it 
myself if 1 wanted to, and you bet 
I did. You said it would be sound 
in ten days if it did all right, and in 
nine days it was sound and as slick 
as a peeled onion. This is June 19, 
1917, and it has never showed any 
signs of coming back. 
I would be glad to advise any poor 
soul who has a cancer to go to you 
and get cured, as I did, for I know 
you cured me with no blemish left. 
Yours truly,

Dear Doctor: 
I feel that I would be doing an 
injustice to you and to suffering 
humanity if I did not write a state- 
ment of my case. 
I had a growth on my face that 
caused me trouble and I had it cut 
out twice and it came back again.

cured of a very bad cancer advised 
me to go to Doctor O. A. Johnson of

Dear Doctor: 
I received your letter and I am. 
glad to tell you I am getting along 
very nicely. 
I certainly esteem it a privilege to 
indorse your cancer cure since both 
myself and Mr. Haworth were cured. 
I can say that I had a cancer on my 
nose for five years, but it did not 
give me serious trouble until the last 
year. My husband's cancer was in 
his left temple. It came from a 
birthmark. You also cured him of 
a bad rectal trouble. 
Several of my friends advised me 
to go to one of our town doctors, who 
had an X-ray, and let him take it 
out but I said no, I am going to Dr. 
Johnson and have it taken out right. 
I am proud to say that after three 
weeks' treatment 1 was well, and 
both myself and husband returned 
home May 23, 1915, cured of cancer. 
1 would advise anyone suffering 
from cancer not to delay, but go to 
you promptly and get cured. 
Respectfully, 
MRS. J. H. HAWORTH.

After four weeks of treatment 1

cheek. I will warn everybody to 
go in time and not wait too long. If 
I should have a dozen or more to 
cure 1 would go right straight to Dr. 
Johnson. May God bless him. and 
may he ever prosper.

Dear Sir: 
It is twelve years, this summer 
since I had cancer in the corner of 
my right eye. It had been almost 
a year since I had first noticed it. I 
took treatment from a local doctor 
about three months but received no 
benefit. I saw your ad and went to 
the city to consult you. I took 
treatment from, you and in three 
weeks I was cured. khat was twelve 
years ago next month, and there is 
no appearance of its return and is 
only a very little scar. 
I can heartily recommend your 
treatment to anyone who is suffering 
from cancer.

My Dear Doctor: 
1 am. only glad and willing to write 
you a testimonial letter with per- 
mission to use it and my name as a 
reference to those who are afflicted 
with cancer, as I know you have 
cured me of an epithelioma cancer, 
as you pronounced it, which was on 
my upper lip. It had been growing 
almost four years, and your treat- 
ment cured me in less than one 
month, and nicely cured. It was 
July 16, 1910, that I came under 
your treatment. 
With a feeling of true gratitude 
toward you and a sincere desire to 
bring hope and encouragement to 
those unfortunates afflicted with the 
dreaded disease, cancer, I can say 
that I am. ever so glad that I met 
with you and took your treatment 
instead of going elsewhere. 
With kindest regards and best 
wishes, I remain.

Dear Sir: 
That I may be helpful to other

recommend the treatment 1 received 
from Dr. O. A. Johnson. 
A cancer developed on the side of 
my nose and troubled me about four 
years before I heard of Dr. Johnson. 
After trying local physicians during 
that time with no success, I was 
finally persuaded to go to him. In 
December, 1913, 1 went to see him, 
and in January, 1914, I commenced 
his treatment. In ten days the can- 
cer was entirely removed, root and 
branches, so that it has given me no 
trouble since.

midway from the corner of my 
mouth to lower part of jaw. I con- 
sulted and corresponded with differ- 
ent physicians and specialists. 
In February, 1908, after riding in 
a very cbld wind, my cancer gave me 
much trouble by itching and burn- 
ing sensations. I again consulted 
specialists, and, after examination, 
chose you and your methods as most 
likely to cure. I have always been 
thankful that I did so. 
In less thant 30 days you told me I 
was cured. I can say I have shaved 
over the place twice each week and 
have never had any sign of reappear- 
ance. There is nothing but a small 
scar to show where the cancer was, 
and is so insignificant no one would 
notice unless attention is called to it. 
I would rather that no one should 
ever be afflicted with cancer, but if 
they are, may one and all hasten to 
you when the cancer is in its early 
stage. 
I shall in the future, as in the past, 
praise you and your treatment. My 
kindest regards to the attendants in 
your employ.

Dear Dr. Johnson: 
I am glad to make this statement 
about the cure of my cancer, and you 
can publish it for the good it will do 
others. 
I had a very bad case of deep 
seated cancer on my lower lip which 
had troubled me for three years. I 
was fearful that I could not be cured, 
but the testimonials of the good peo- 
ple you cured of such bad cases gave 
me encouragement because I be- 
lieved what they said, so 1 decided 
to try you. 
I went to you for treatment thir- 
teen years ago. 1 am. sound and 
well and never a trace of the cancer 
coming back. 
I have often recommended you 
and sent a man to you not long ago. 
There are two other of your cured 
patients living in this city, and I can 
advise anyone with cancer, no matter 
how bad off, to go to you at once. 
Yours truly, 
JOHN PETRY.

cler this doctor's treatment, and was 
advised to have my cancer cut out. 
To this I would not consent. I then 
tried another remedy which also 
proved a failure. I next heard of 
Dr. Johnson and went to his office 
in Kansas City, Mo., on August 5, 
1907, and came home cured Septem- 
ber 20, 1907. 
Now, after ten years, with no re- 
turn of a cancer I feel I can say that 
I am cured to stay cured, and wish 
I could persuade every cancer suffer- 
er to go to Dr. Johnson at once, for 
I feel and know he can cure them, 
if there is any cure to be had, even 
though others have failed. 
With best wishes for your success, 
I am,

Dear Doctor: 
I was treated by you for cancer on 
the lower lip in April, 1909. Was 
with you three weeks and the cancer 
was out and doing fine. I had 
doctored with two doctors before 
coming to you, but it did me no good. 
I had been bothered with it for three 
years. I feel I am in better health 
since I took your treatment and no 
sign of a return of cancer now after 
more than six years and over since 
I have been cured by you. 
If you care to use this testimonial, 
I will be glad to help any who care 
to see me or write me about it in any 
way.

Dodge, Nebr., June 27, 1917. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson,

My Dear Doctor: 
Your letter received and found me 
in good health. 
I had been troubled with a cancer 
on my neck for nearly fifteen years. 
In vain I tried different remedies and 
doctors but nothing would help me. 
About eight years ago I read in a 
paper about Dr. Johnson curing can- 
cer. I immediately went to him, 
tried his medical treatment and must 
say that in about three weeks I was 
fully cured, and it has never troubled 
me since. 
I am very thankful that your treat- 
ment cured me and am glad to recom- 
mend it to all afflicted with cancer.

My Dear Doctor: 
I wish to write you a letter, which 
you may use as a testimonial as to 
your treatment and cure of cancer. 
1 know your treatment cured me 
after several other doctors failed to 
give me the least bit of relief. 
A cancer developed on my lip in 
October, 1905. I doctored several 
weeks with our family physician, 
and then he told me that he could 
do me no good. I then changed 
doctors. In January, 1906, I began 
using a plaster which I used for six 
months. I kept growing worse un-

grew to the size of a hen s egg, so I 
had it taken out with the surgeon's 
knife. In six months it grew back 
as large as it was before. The doc- 
tor wanted to cut it out again, but 1 
said no. 
I went to Dr. Johnson and took his 
treatment and he cured me without 
any pain. That was about 14 years 
ago, as near as I can remember, and 
1 have stayed cured ever since. This 
is the honest truth, so I advise all 
cancer sufferers to report to Dr. 
Johnson without delay and get cured. 
I wish all cancer sufferers could see 
for themselves as 1 did when I was 
under your care and then they would 
believe in a cure.

Dear Doctor: 
On January 27, 1915, 1 applied to 
Dr. O. A. Johnson for treatment of a 
cancerous growth on my left shoul- 
der. The growth measured 3 inches 
by 2^ inches in size, however, Dr. 
Johnson was successful in fully re- 
moving it without surgical opera- 
tion. 
I have had many years experience 
(my age is 84) in the practice of medi- 
cine and dentistry, and I say without 
reserve that Dr. Johnson is successful 
in his treatment of cancer. I can 
recommend him highly to the pub-

public.

whatever of its return. I am thank- 
ful that I heard of your treatment. 
I consulted three doctors here be-

Two of them advised me to have it

other said the only sure cure was to 
go to Chicago and have the X-ray 
used.

Topeka, Kans., June 19, 1917. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
Twenty-one years ago 1 discovered 
a growth inside of my right cheek, and 
for some time paid but little atten- 
tion to it. It would be very sore and 
painful whenever I would eat my 
meals and it would interfere with my 
rest at night. I intended many 
times to tell our family physician 
about the growth, but I was afraid 
he would tell me it was a cancer. 
Then 1 decided to tell my husband 
about it. At that time I did not 
think that a cancer could be cured. 
After consulting Mr. Bates of 
Topeka, and others who were cured 
of cancer, I then decided to go to 
Kansas City to see you in regard to 
your treatment. The result of your 
medical treatment was very satis- 
factory, as there has never been any 
sign of a return of the cancer. 
It is now over nine years since 1 
was treated by you. I think you 
have a remarkable cure for chronic 
and malignant diseases. I want to 
thank you for what you have done 
for me. 
I would advise anyone afflicted to 
go at once to Dr. Johnson and be 
treated, for Dr. Johnson can and will 
cure cancer, as he has cured me. 
If anyone wishes to write me about 
your treatment I shall be glad to 
answer promptly. 
Yours truly,

any booklet you wish. I want the 
public to know of the permanent 
cure I received from your treatment. 
I suffered from a cancerous growth 
under my left eye, and had been 
treating under several doctors for 
some time with no satisfactory im- 
provement and the place growing 
larger all the time. I was advised by 
a former patient, who had been cured 
by Dr. Johnson, of his wonderful 
success in curing cancer. 
I began treatment with Dr. John- 
son in December, 1911, and in six 
weeks the growth was killed, taken 
out and the wound healed nicely. I 
left his place entirely cured, and it 
has been almost six years ago. 
There is practically no scar on my 
face and no appearance of the growth 
returning. 
I would like to say a word of 
gratitude for Dr. Johnson and his 
efficient force of assistants while 
under their care and treatment. I 
do heartily recommend Dr. John- 
son's method of treatment to anyone 
with any form of cancer, and will 
gladly give an answer to all inquiring 
sufferers who write me. 
Yours gratefully,

Dear Doctor: 
I just received your letter and will 
hasten to let you know about the 
cancer you cured for me about four 
years ago. 
I had a small place come on my 
lower lip. It would form a scale on 
it and the scale would come off and 
another would come. The second 
year there would come a thick scab, 
so I went to two doctors here. One 
said he could do nothing for it; the 
other said he could cure it. He gave 
me medicine to put on, but all the 
salve and liniment would not do any 
good. I was treated for a year and 
the cancer got so I thought I would 
have to try someone else. I saw 
Dr. Johnson's ad, who had 20 years 
of success in the curing of cancer, so 
I went to Kansas City. Dr. Johnson 
made an examination and said it was 
cancer and he could cure me. I 
took his treatment and was cured of 
my cancer. 
I would advise anyone that has a 
sore that will not be healed to go to 
Dr. O. A. Johnson. He will cure 
any case that will go in time. 
Yours truly,

To All Who Suffer From Cancer: 
I wish to state that I had been 
afflicted with that dread disease, can- 
cer, for 16 months. I consulted 
three allopath doctors and they cau- 
tioned me not to go to a specialist 
for treatment. They had no cure to 
offer me only to cut it out, and I 
knew that meant a return in a two- 
fold degree and death in the end. 
My wife saw an ad in one of the 
papers, of Dr. O. A. Johnson of Kan- 
sas City, Mo., stating that he treated 
cancer successfully. I wrote him; 
he answered, sending me a pamph- 
let of references. I wrote several 
of those who had been successfully 
treated and cured, all the way from 
two to ten years ago.

and partially on the iris. After 
about two months' treatment by 
others, some of whom were special- 
ists, who made five different at- 
tempts to remove the abnormal 
growth with the knife and electric 
flame, I placed myself tinder your 
mild, yet effective treatment. In 
about five weeks' time the whole 
thing had disappeared, leaving a 
small hole in the eye-ball which soon 
closed up and left the eye apparently 
as sound as ever to this day, con- 
vincing me that your method is 
milder, safer and surer than any 
other treatment of which I have any 
knowledge. 
You and your attendants are to be 
highly complimented and recom-

work as well as for the effectual 
remedies you have compounded for

Cancer of The Left Breast. 
Malta Bend, Mo., April 24, 1917. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I went to Dr. Johnson in October, 
1915, to be treated for cancer of the 
left breast. I received the best of 
care and the most courteous treat- 
ment from Dr. Johnson and all his 
nurses, and came home cured. 
I wish that all afflicted with can- 
cer in any way might go to Dr. John- 
son and be cured. 
Will gladly answer anyone that 
will write me for information. 
Respectfully, 
MRS. ELLA C. FULTON. 
Growth on Eye-Ball Removed by 
Our Treatment After Other

ball just a little outside the iris. In

did not amount to much, but it kept 
getting worse. I did nothing for 
four years, then went to a doctor 
in Denver, Colorado. He did not 
think it a very bad case, but didn't 
cure it. I then went to Wisconsin 
where I was treated seven months by 
electricity, what they called "violet 
rays." That did no good. The 
doctor then wanted to cut it out, 
but I said no. Despite all my treat- 
ment the cancer got worse. 
I heard of Dr. Johnson at Kansas 
City. I went there in February, 
1912, and my lip was healed in four 
weeks and I returned home. Now, 
nearly five years later, there is no 
sign of any return of the cancer. 
I would recommend anyone troub- 
led with any cancerous affection to 
go at once to Dr. Johnson and take 
his treatment. Don't allow your 
home doctor to meddle with it for 
they know nothing about cancer. 
Dr. Johnson has an efficient corps of 
physicians and nurses and every 
facility for treating cancer. 
My brother was successfully treat- 
ed by Dr. Johnson for cancer of the 
lip, and also a Mr. Wright, my near 
neighbor, for cancer on the face.

Dear Sir and Friend: 
In regard to giving you an en- 
dorsement for the treatment you 
gave me for cancer of the face, 1 can 
say that your treatment for cancer, 
if taken in time, is a sure cure. 
I would advise anyone afflicted 
with cancer to go to you at once. It 
is now over three years and eight 
months since you treated me and I 
must say that the cancer has never 
troubled me since. I will further 
say that the two cancers on the left 
side of my face near the left temple 
are cured for all time and there is no 
trace of them to be seen. I am. feel- 
ing better today than ever before. 
Doctor, if you see fit to publish 
the above facts, I am perfectly will- 
ing you should do so. 
Hoping you will have good suc- 
cess in your business, I am 
Yours with respect,

Cancer Lower Lip 3 Years. 
Believes He Is Cured. 
Spickard, Mo., April 7, 1917. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
One year ago (March, 1916). 1 
was at your place to be treated for 
cancer on the lower lip. You took 
the cancer off in just a short time, 
although it had been growing 3 
years, and it seems to be all right. 
I hope and believe it is cured. 
Yours truly, 
C. E. BROWN.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
It is with pleasure that I am. able 
to recommend what your treatment 
has done for me. 
I had a sore come on my lip in the 
form, of a cold sore, but it did not 
heal as it formerly had, and it was 
pronounced cancer. I went to a 
doctor in Michigan. He thought it

As A Last Straw I Went to Con- 
sult Dr. Johnson. 
of my nose; they could cut my whole 
nose off and then not be sure of it, as 
they would leave a small piece some- 
where and they had just as well 
leave all. I then asked him if it 
could be burnt out, and he said they 
would never heal it up. He had 
previously diagnosed the place on 
my nose as epithelioma, or skin 
cancer. He also said it was one 
of the slowest cancers getting a 
start, but when it did it would go 
after a fellow like a hungry bear. 
1 had a friend, Thomas Dobbins, 
who, in the spring of 1909, was cured 
by Dr. Johnson of a skin cancer on 
his face. As a last straw I went to 
Kansas City to consult Dr. Johnson 
September 22, 1909. On November 
12 I came home. When 1 went to 
Dr. Johnson the place on my nose 
was larger than a silver dollar, and it 
had entirely shut off breathing on the 
left side. It extended over the top 
to the right side. I stayed with Dr. 
Johnson seven weeks and then came 
home, and it is sound and well now. 
I would advise those who are af- 
flicted with cancer to never have a 
knife used, or the X-ray, if they 
want to live. Do not wait for the 
last straw to grab at, but go at once 
and consult Dr. Johnson. 
i will say in conclusion that 1 am 
not financially interested in Dr. 
Johnson, but I can truly say that I 
never had dealings with a more hon- 
orable mar, and a man who has made 
every promise good to me. 
A good old Deacon of our town 
told me (I suppose so I would not 
be disappointed) that my cancer 
would come back in eight years, or 
less; that I was not cured. It has 
been nearly eight years since 1 was 
cured and it still holds good, but he 
went to his reward neatly two years 
ago. 
Now 1 have stated my case as 
well and truly as I can, and to the 
afflicted 1 would advise you to con-

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
In reply to your letter of late date 
asking me to send a statement of my 
case for your new book, I am glad 
to offer my testimonial of your in- 
stitution, and give suffering humani- 
ty a short history of my case. 
About 1904 there appeared a small 
place on the left side of my nose, 
about one-half inch from the end. 
It was very tender, especially if I 
happened to hurt it. I used vaseline 
and other simple remedies, but it 
gradually got larger. About three 
years after it commenced I saw an 
advertisement of red clover, or ex- 
tract of red clover blossoms. I 
invested $7.50 in that treatment, but 
received no benefit. I then tried a 
proprietary medicine called Liquid 
Air, which was said to be prepared 
from, purified gases. I took about 
one and a half gallons of it, but it 
failed to do any good. Both of 
these medicines were recommended 
as a cancer cure, and several testi- 
monials were furnished. 
In July, 1909, I Was getting so 
much worse it looked to me that I 
did not have much to lose if I tried 
something else and failed. 1 had de- 
cided not to let any doctor cut it out. 
I went to Lovington, Illinois, to con- 
sult a doctor. He thought he could 
effect a cure with X-ray. He made 
me promise to stay with him if he 
thought I was benefited, as he had 
a reputation to lose if he failed to 
cure. I thought I was being bene- 
fited, and the doctor seemed to think 
so also, but I finally concluded I was 
mistaken. I asked the doctor what 
he thought about cutting the place 
out, and he said there was not a 
doctor living that could cut that out

You Dismissed Me As Cured

Hardy, Nebr., June 25, 1917. 
To Those Afflicted With Cancer: 
May 3, 1909, I consulted Dr. O. 
A. Johnson of Kansas City, in re- 
gard to a sore on my lower lip that 
seemed hard to heal. I had doc- 
tored locally about three months 
before this. Dr. Johnson said he 
believed my case a curable one, but 
some cases took a longer time than 
others. 
I began treatment May 10 and in 
about eight weeks seemed to be 
cured. I came home and have had 
no more trouble. I visited Dr. 
Johnson at intervals for a few months 
to make sure I was entirely cured. I 
take constitutional treatment occa- 
sionally, which the doctor advises 
in most cases and when I am in 
Kansas City, call on him. 
When I began taking treatment 
my case was of about six months 
standing and seemed to be develop- 
ing very fast. My lip was swollen a 
good deal. 
I have advised a number of cases 
to go to Dr. Johnson for treatment. 
I would advise anyone afflicted with 
this dread disease; do not delay as 
delays in these cases are often dan- 
gerous. It is much easier on the 
patient, and also the doctor and 
nurses if treated in the early stages. 
I also advise taking the doctor's 
advice while under his care. You 
will get along much better and be 
happier that you took the advice. 
If convenient, go to see Dr. John- 
son after you are cured. They are 
always glad to see former patients 
Vernon, Colo., June 21, 1917. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Dr. Johnson: 
It has now been 12 years since 
you dismissed me as cured of cancer 
of the rectum. I had been suffering 
from that trouble for about eighteen 
months before going to you for treat- 
ment. The cure has been a per- 
manent one, as I consider sufficient 
time has elapsed since you dismissed 
me for it to return if it was going 
to, and I feel that I am perfectly 
safe in giving my testimonial. There 
has never been a sign of the disease 
returning since you dismissed me. 
I have sent several patients to 
you for treatment for cancer in 
various locations, and I know of 
some of them, who have been cured. 
I will take pleasure in writing to 
anyone who may wish to communi- 
cate with me in regard to your treat- 
ment. 1 am perfectly satisfied with 
the results of the treatment, and I 
feel that no one can make a mistake 
to put their case in your hands, for 
I believe that if their case is at all 
curable your treatment will be a suc- 
cess. 
Wishing you a long life and that 
you will be able to continue relieving 
suffering humanity, as you have dur- 
ing the past that I have known you, 
I beg to remain, 
Very truly yours,

Dear Doctor: 
Several years ago 1 was troubled 
by what seemed to be a little growth 
on the side of my nose. I consulted 
two or three doctors in regard to it, 
but they advised me to leave it alone 
until further development. It final- 
ly began growing so rapidly 1 be- 
came alarmed about it and went to 
doctor for treatment. He said he 
could cure it, and treated me regu- 
larly for twelve months with no suc- 
cess. 
11 Years Ago You Cured Me of 
Cancer On the Nose. 
New Florence, Mo., June 19, 1917. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
My Dear Doctor: 
To whom it may concern: Eleven 
years ago the 5th of last April, 1 
began taking treatment from you for 
cancer of the nose, and in fifteen 
days the cancer fell out and in four 
weeks it had healed over nicely. I 
had been afflicted two or three years 
before 1 began taking treatment. I 
am more than glad to say that I re- 
main cured and there is no sign of it 
returning and there is but a small 
scar to mark the seat of location. 
Your treatment is everything you 
claim, for it, as you have cured me 
and I feel sure you can cure others 
if they will come to you in time. 
1 will recommend anyone suffering 
from this dread disease, cancer, to 
lose no time in putting their case in 
your hands. If cancer sufferers will 
come to you when the cancer is in a 
curable stage they will receive a per- 
manent cure. 
I am. glad to have my testimonial 
published if it will only direct any 
sufferer from cancer to give your 
treatment a trial. I will be glad to 
write and tell any person having 
cancer of you and your treatment. 
May God bless you and give you 
health that you may continue this 
good work. 
Yours most sincerely, 
CHAS. A. RIGG. 
I then heard of Dr. Johnson and 
his great cancer cure. I went to him 
for treatment, and have never re- 
gretted it, for in less than two months 
I was cured. I am. convinced that 
others can be permanently cured by 
the same method of treatment that 
proved so successful in my case. 
It is now ten years since I was 
dismissed from his institution cured, 
and in consideration of this length of 
time with no recurrence of the old 
trouble, 1 am. sincere in saying his 
treatment permanently cured me, 
and I fully and freely recommend

loaned me one of your cancer books 
to read. By reading the testi- 
monials of others in your valuable 
book caused me to apply to you for 
treatment. I give you this letter 
for publication, hoping that it may 
encourage sufferers, as the letters of 
others did me, to go to you and get 
cured. 
My trouble came from a wart that 
had been on my face ten or twelve 
years. Finally it became sore and 
would inflame. I had learned that 
cancer often comes from a wart or 
mole and I was not surprised when 
my trouble was pronounced epithe- 
lioma, or skin cancer. 
I am now 74 years old and in fairly 
good health. I am very thankful 
for the cure you have performed by 
your medical treatment, which will 
be seven years ago next October, 
and I wish all people suffering from, 
cancer could know of your treat- 
ment and go to you instead of having 
the knife used.

Dear Doctor: 
Twelve years ago 1 was afflicted 
with cancer on my left ear. The 
physicians pronounced it cancer. 
I went to Kansas City and was 
treated by you for eight days. The 
ninth clay the cancer came out. It 
was as large as a black walnut. I 
am. now 74 years of age. The can- 
cer has never given me any trouble 
since I was treated 12 years ago, 
and I don't think it ever will. 
It will give me pleasure to answer 
all who will write to me so I can tell 
them what Dr. O. A. Johnson has 
done for me and others that I am. 
personally acquainted with and what 
he can do for you. 
My last advice to those who have 
cancer is not to wait too long. Put- 
ting off and waiting is why so many 
have lost their lives.

Greeley, Kans., June 25, 1917. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
It has been eight or nine years 
since you dismissed me as cured of 
cancer of the face. I had suffered 
from this trouble for eight or nine 
years, and I did not find any relief 
until I went to you. I tried three 
or four doctors before I went to you 
and they didn't do me any good. 
Two of the doctors wanted to cut 
the cancer out, but I told them no. 
One said that he could kill the can- 
cer but he couldn't make my flesh 
heal, for I was getting too old. I 
told him I had as well keep the 
sore I had as to have another sore on 
my face, so I went to you and the 
cancer on my face is cured and all 
right, and I haven't had any ache or 
pain since. 
I can that is afflicted with that dread- 
ful disease, cancer, to go to you 
promptly and be cured. 
I was 82 years old the first day of 
July, 1917.

My cancer was under the right

Both places are well today, and 
it has been about ten years ago

than eleven years ago, and there has 
been no return of the disease. 
I sincerely hope that every sufferer 
from cancer will go to you and be 
cured, as I know from my own exper- 
ience and observation that you can 
cure cancer never to return. I can 
sincerely say that you are a man of 
your word, and that you will tell a 
patient if there is no hopes. There 
has been people cut upon in this 
town of Thomas, and the doctors 
will sew them up again and the poor 
patient is doomed. Now if these 
lines come in contact with any suf- 
ferer I pray them not to be butchered. 
Instead I pray them to go to Dr. O. 
A. Johnson of Kansas City, Mo., the 
same as I did, and be cured of the 
dreaded disease and then be able to 
advise some sufferer. 
Now, dear Doctor, I sincerely hope 
and trust that all afflicted will come

Berryville, Ark., June 16, 1917. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Dr. Johnson: 
It was in the year 1902 that my 
lower lip first began to bother me. 
It would get sore and heal up every 
month or so until 1906, when I had 
our home doctor to examine it. He 
said the trouble was cancer but 
would be easily cured so he went to 
work on it. The lip continued to get 
worse despite his treatment, so I 
wrote to St. Louis and got medicine 
from a specialist who said he could 
cure me. Still I got worse and began 
to feel awfully bad. I wrote to 
Kansas City to Dr. Johnson and he 
answered and said to come up and 
I landed at Kansas City, April 5, 
1908, and went direct to Dr. John- 
son's office. I asked him. about my 
case and he said 1 was in bad shape, 
but he thought he could cure me so I 
said go to work. My cancer was on 
the lower lip covering something 
like two-thirds of the lip and large 
kernels under each jaw. 1 stayed in 
Kansas City under Dr. Johnson's 
treatment two weeks, came home 
cancer and kernels gone. My lip 
healed up, leaving but slight scar, so 
I think I have a right to praise Dr. 
Johnson and his treatment, don't 
you? 
So now, kind friends, I do hope and 
pray that all who suffer from, cancer 
will do as 1 did, go to Dr. Johnson 
and get a cure before it is too late. 
I pray God's blessings be showered 
on Dr. Johnson and his establish- 
ment. 
As ever, your friend, 
C. G. WRIGHT. 
try his treatment. I did so. On 
April 4, 1908, more than nine years 
ago, I left home, bidding friends and

and not do much with it and maybe 
it wouldn't hurt me for quite awhile. 
I used some white salve one of them 
gave me for some time, but it did 
no good. Another one of them said 
to use camphor, and I did, but it 
did no good. 
I went to Dr. Johnson in Febru- 
ary, 1911, and stayed with him three 
weeks and came home cured. It 
has been six years since I was cured 
and I have never been bothered since. 
I can't praise Dr. Johnson too much 
for I think he has the best remedies 
on earth and he sure knows how to 
use them. 
I hope this letter will be the means 
of sending some cancer sufferer to 
you, where he will find relief.

Dear Doctor: 
I had a cancer on my nose affect- 
ing my left eye, which gave me a 
great deal of trouble for about nine 
years. Of course, like most all can- 
cer sufferers, I tried different reme- 
dies, including the burning plasters, 
before I found the right treatment. 
1 am sorry I did not know of your 
treatment sooner, but I am very 
thankful 1 heard of you before it was 
too late. 
1 consider myself cured, as it has 
been more than six years since I left 
your place. 
If it will be any encouragement to 
cancer sufferers you may publish this 
letter and I will take pleasure in 
answering any letter, either in Eng- 
lish or German, that they may write 
asking me about my cure by your 
treatment.

Dear Sir: 
I want to write you again in praise 
of your cancer treatment. I was 
afflicted for several years with a can- 
cer on my nose and tried everything 
I could find to cure it, but nothing 
seemed to do it any good until 1 
heard of your treatment and tried it. 
It was only a short time after I 
began using your treatment until I 
was rid of my cancer. It has been

Dear Doctor Johnson: 
I write this for the benefit of those 
who are afflicted with cancer as 1 
was, and would say, don't give up 
but go to Dr. O. A. Johnson, and the 
sooner you go after you find out you 
have a cancer the easier he can cure 
you.

ICGrew Faster Than Ever After 
I Had It Cut. 
In the fall of 1909 I tried the X-ray 
treatment, but it only made the sore 
grow larger. 
My physician then advised an 
operation. In January, 1910, I went 
to Omaha and had an operation, but 
it never entirely healed. It grew 
faster than ever after I had it cut. 
In August, 1911, one of Dr. John- 
son's cured patients advised me to go 
there for treatment. This I did, 
with the result that Dr. Johnson 
cured my cancer, and it has stayed 
cured ever since. I am just as well 
as the day I left Kansas City. 
I heartily recommend Dr. John- 
son and his assistants to anybody 
afflicted with cancer, for I believe 
they can cure you. 
Anyone wishing information may 
write me.

To Whom It May Concern: 
I had a bad stomach trouble for 
five years, and doctored with all of 
the best doctors in North Missouri. 
They told me I could not be cured. 
I heard of Dr. Johnson and went 
to him about seven years ago. I 
have not been bothered since. I 
cannot recommend him too highly. 
I know numbers of people he has 
cured of cancer. Dr. Johnson is all 
he professes, and more. 
Dear Dr. Johnson, you can use my 
name to recommend your treatment 
when you please. When I meet any- 
one with cancer, I will try to get 
them to see you. I am sorry for 
anyone who will believe what these 
small doctors tell them.

can do, I am ready.

Dear Doctor: 
In reply to yours of the 24th, I 
am indeed glad for an opportunity 
to tell the public of your skill as a 
cancer doctor, for I am a living tes- 
timony of your ability to cope with 
that dreaded disease called cancer. 
At this time I am apparently as 
sound and well as I ever was. It 
was early in February, 1916, that I 
came to your office afflicted with 
the cancer on my nose. 
I would not only recommend your 
skill to suffering humanity, but your 
honesty and fair dealings with your 
patients, which means very much to 
a prospective patient. 
These few words express my senti- 
ment only in a very meager way, 
but you are welcome to make use of 
them if you think they will be of 
any encouragement to the afflicted 
public.

Dear Doctor: 
I wish to add my endorsement to 
your long list, for I am very grate- 
ful for the results you gave me. 
In January, 1909, I had a small 
brown spot come on the left side of 
my lower lip. It did not grow any 
for about eighteen months, then it 
started to grow and bother me, and 
I just let it go for about five months 
more. It still grew and got bigger, 
and 1 went to my home doctor. He 
examined my lip and said it was a 
small growth. I went to three other 
doctors in my town, and they said it 
was an epithelioma, or skin cancer. 
They wanted to cut it out. As it 
happened, I knew two cancer vic- 
tims who had them cut out three 
times and the cancer came back 
every time worse than ever, so 1 
told them I would not have it cut 
out. My father had a cancer on 
his lower lip, and in February, 1911, 
he went to Kansas City, and took 
treatment from Dr. Johnson and in 
three weeks he came home cured, 
so I decided to go to Kansas City and 
take Dr. Johnson's treatment. A mi- 
croscopical examination was made of 
the growth on the lip, which showed 
the disease to be a genuine case of 
epithelioma, or skin cancer. I took 
my first treatment November 13, 
1911. 1 was treated five weeks. 
On the 16th day of December, 1911, 
I came home, and I can gladly say 1 
am entirely cured. 
I cannot recommend Dr. Johnson 
too highly. I advise anyone and 
everyone suffering from cancer, or a 
similar disease, to lose no time in 
placing themselves under his treat- 
ment. The longer the disease is 
Tried Many Treatments and All 
Failed. 
Waverly, Kans., June 18, 1917. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Friend: 
I was suffering from cancer called 
epithelioma, located on the lower lip. 
It had been developing for years 
before I went to you for treatment. 
All our doctors called it cancer. 
I had one specialist treat it four 
months, but it did not get any better 
and I had almost given up in despair 
until I met you, and you said you 
could cure me. I am thankful that 
I had you treat me. 
The cancer extended half way 
across the lip and was at least one 
inch deep. It was open and angry 
looking, and caused me considerable 
pain. The lip was very much swol- 
len and hard. 
As I had tried so many treatments 
and all failed, was greatly discour- 
aged. You cured Mr. Donnell, our 
former postmaster, so I decided to 
make one more effort. 
I can truly say for the benefit of 
those suffering from cancer that you 
know your business. From what I 
saw of other patients being treated 
there, I am confident you can cure 
cancer and would advise all suffering 
from this disease to apply to you at 
once. My experience is that can- 
cer can be cured. I can say that I 
am cured. I have been well 12 
years and there is no sign of it re- 
turning any more. 
Wishing you continued success, 
and assuring you of my hearty sup- 
port, I am, 
Yours truly, 
J. M. RATHMELL.

One Word in Regard to The Knife. 
Now, dear friend, I do not want to 
cast any reflection on this class of 
physicians. They are great, good 
and grand men, but how do they ex- 
pect to compete with a cancer 
specialist? One has two or three 
cases of cancer in a life time; the 
other has from twenty-five to fifty 
patients coming under his observa- 
tion daily. 
One word in regard to the knife: 
O, man, shun it as you would a viper! 
Once in a great while you see one who 
has been operated on and is well, but 
the facts are they never had cancer. 
Show me a well developed cancer 
that has been cured by the knife, and 
remained fully cured for two to 
fifteen years, and I will show you a 
white crow. 
Sincerely yours,

To Whom It May Concern: 
On the 10th day of August, 1908,

on my lip, and was pronounced per- 
manently cured by him. 
I was treated by some of the best 
practitioners in northwest Missouri,

My Dear Doctor: 
It is four years next August since 
I was treated by Dr. Johnson and 
cured permanently of a cancer on 
my lower lip without a perceptible 
scar. 
My experience with cancer seems 
to be almost the universal experience 
of all who are so afflicted. They come 
in contact with Doctor So-and-So, 
take treatment and find themselves 
worse than when they commenced. 
For several years I scanned cancer 
cure advertisements. I became sus- 
picious and skeptical. I got one of 
but, Oh, my God, what poor cancer 
doctors they were! 
106 J 4 JLUD CI3 1-4 
Dr. Johnson's books and thought, 
here is something tangible; it shows 
results; it asks anyone afflicted with 
cancer to verify for themselves any 
statement therein. 
Cancer on the lip is the worst 
place one can develop. A man 
without a good lip don't amount to 
much. If a person looked me in the 
face I thought he was looking at the 
tormented thing. I tried to grow 
hair enough to hide it, but it got so 
big I couldn't. I knew no one 
wanted to drink after me, or liked 
to eat with me. 
I was talking with a man the other 
day who told me he had paid out one 
thousand dollars for treatment and 
was no better than when he com- 
menced. Why don't you go to Dr. 
Johnson? I asked. "Don't see how I 
can get away from home and leave 
business,'' was his answer. 
I am asked questions like this: 
Does the treatment make one down 
sick? Is it painful? When I tell 
them that patients, while I was 
there, went to theatres, parks, stock 
yards, the new depot, that a patient 
was built up from the start instead of 
being run down, they seemed sur- 
prised that such could be possible in 
treating and curing cancer. It looks 
to me like criminal negligence to 
continually risk health and life itself 
with that anarchist of the human 
system-cancer. 
I am a firm believer in Dr. O. A. 
Johnson's medical treatment for can- 
cer, and recommend it to anyone 
with that affliction. They will make 
no mistake when they take their case 
to him, but will make one if they 
don't. 
If this will cause one person af- 
flicted with cancer to go to Dr. John- 
son and get cured, I will feel well 
paid.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Respected Doctor: 
Of all painful and dreaded dis- 
eases of which the human body is 
heir, I believe cancer is the most 
terrible. 
In former centuries nothing better 
was known in the way of treatment 
than operation by the knife, and 
that never was a cure. In recent 
years the most skillful doctors have 
found a cure and now that most 
dreaded disease can be cured in a 
short time. 
Many cancer sufferers neglect to 
seek a specialist for a cure until it is 
too late. What a mind such people 
have! 
I have much to be thankful for as 
I went to Dr. Johnson. 1 got his 
treatment early and have had good 
health since I got my cancer cured 
in the spring of 1907. 
I had a lump on the right side of 
my neck. I thought it was a can- 
cer, but did not know. 1 consulted 
Dr. Johnson and he told me it was 
a cancer, not to my surprise. I 
went to see Dr. Johnson, but part 
of the treatment was taken at home. 
The cancer was gone in two.months 
but it required some little time to 
heal the sore. 
I am not afraid to die, but want 
to live as long as I can. When I die 
I want to die quick and not suffer of 
a long, terrible pain. 
Many more people have cancer 
now than formerly, and I hope all 
cancer sufferers will seek to get the 
dread disease cured while there is 
hope for relief. 
Yours very truly,

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
My Dear Doctor: 
I thought I would write you a few 
lines to let you know that the can- 
cer you and your assistants cured for 
me in the summer of 1905 is still well, 
with no sign of its returning. 
Now, dear Dr. Johnson, as you 
may want to publish a statement of 
my case in your book, I will give it 
for the benefit of all who may chance 
to see the same who might be afflicted 
as I was with that awful disease, 
cancer. 
My cancer first started to develop 
itself in the summer of 1903. It 
started from, a sunburn on the edge 
and inside of my lower lip. I got 
bad in a very short time. I was 
doctored by three good home doc- 
tors, but continued to get worse 
until the fall of 1904. My two 
sons then took me three trips 
to a specialist at St. Louis, Mo., 
but 1 got very little benefit from 
him, in fact the next spring I 
got very bad. My throat had got 
so sore I could hardly swallow, and 
I had sharp needle pains; in fact, 1 
had about made up my mind that 
life was about all in for me. But 
my boys persuaded me to go to 
Kansas City, Mo., and so I landed 
there the 18th of July, 1905, thanks 
to the good Lord, Dr. Johnson and 
his assistants cured me sound and 
well in five weeks. I am still well 
and pretty stout for an old man of 
75 years and 7 months. 
I must say that 1 believe Dr. O. A. 
Johnson is a perfect gentleman and 
a God-send to sufferers afflicted with 
that dread disease, cancer. 
Now doctor, you may use the fore- 
going as a testimonial, and I will af- 
X-ray Gave No Benefit. 
Honeoye Falls, N. Y. 
June 25, 1917. 
Dear Doctor Johnson: 
In reply to yours, asking me for a 
testimonial, will say that 1 was 
treated and cured of a cancer on my 
nose. 
The cancer had been on my nose 
for five or six years. 1 had it treated 
with X-ray, but received no benefit. 
The treatment you gave me, in Jan- 
uary, 1916, cured the cancer and it 
was all healed in about four weeks 
with but little scar. I suffered but 
little pain from the treatment. No 
knife was used. 
Would say to all who have cancer 
go at once-do not wait-to Dr. O. 
A. Johnson at Kansas City and he 
will cure you if the cancer is not too 
far advanced. 
Will be glad to answer any one 
who wishes to write me in regard to 
the matter. 
Respectfully yours,

Dr. C. F. Walker, 47 Years a Suc-

Sought Our Aid When He 
Found Himself Afflicted With 
Cancer. 
that Dr. Johnson was the man to 
treat my case. On the 27th of 
August, 1913, I arrived at Kansas 
City and went direct to Dr. John- 
son's institute. It was late in the 
afternoon and work for the day had 
closed, but I had the good fortune to 
meet Dr. Johnson just as he was in 
the act of taking his departure from 
the institute for the day. I made 
known to him who I was and what I 
wanted. He suggested that I re- 
turn with him to his office in the 
institute, which I did, where he made 
an examination of my hand and in- 
structed me as to the hour to call 
next morning. I did as instructed, 
and the Doctor, after a careful ex- 
amination, said to me: "Dr. Walk- 
er, I will cure your hand.'' While 
I somewhat doubted the correctness 
of the assertion, I read from the face 
of the man that he was sincere and 
honest in what he had said. I was 
put under treatment and in less than 
one month the cancer was out and I 
could have come home, but to be 
sure the cure was genuine I remained 
a little longer than was really nec- 
essary, then returned home well and 
still remain well. 
I found Dr. Johnson to be a kind 
hearted and strictly reliable gentle- 
man. I believe him to be the great- 
est and most able cancer specialist 
in the world. My honest and sincere 
advice to you is that if you are 
.afflicted with cancer, tumors, ulcers, 
or chronic sores go to Dr. Johnson for 
treatment. 
That you may understand what I 
mean by saying that I had had much 
experience as a medical man, allow 
me to say as follows: I am 72 years 
of age. I graduated in medicine 
March 4, 1868, more than 49 years 
ago. I have practiced medicine 
continuously except about eighteen 
months since I graduated. 
In conclusion I wish to again say 
that if you have cancer go to Dr. 
Choteau, Okla., June 19, 1917. 
O. A. Johnson, M. D., 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
As I am old (72 years of age) and 
cannot live much longer, I wish to 
make known to those afflicted with 
cancer my opinion of you as a man 
and cancer specialist, thinking that 
I might cause someone afflicted with 
that dreadful disease to go to you and 
be cured. 
Here follows what I have to say: 
In the month of March, 1910, while 
passing through a gate, I accidentally 
struck the back of my right hand 
against a sharp edge of a protruding 
board which cut a small place not 
over an eighth of an inch long. I 
paid little attention to the slight in- 
jury. In a few days a wart-like 
growth appeared on my hand at the 
seat of the little wound. About one 
year from the time I first noticed the 
wart it became sore, and at times 
gave me trouble. It gave me a little 
pain and soon became an open, 
spreading cancer. I had had much 
experience as a medical man and 
could see that I had a severe cancer 
to contend with. I treated myself 
for several months using, as I 
thought, the best treatment known 
to medical science, but it only ag- 
gravated and caused the sore to 
grow rapidly worse. I next con- 
sulted two eminent physicians who 
prescribed for me. I carried out 
their suggestions but did not get 
relief. 
I put myself in correspondence 
with Dr. O. A. Johnson, Kansas City, 
Mo., and soon became convinced 
110  
Johnson for treatment; go where 
you can be cured. 
Should anyone wish to write me 
for further information about Dr. 
Johnson they are at liberty to do so, 
and I will answer any and all in- 
quiries the best I can. 
Yours truly, 
C. F. WALKER, M. D. 
I can cheerfully recommend Dr. 
Johnson's treatment to anyone who 
might wish to hear from me.

treatment to them. 
You treated me for cancer of the 
breast four years ago, and because I 
know your treatment is successful I 
am glad to advise anyone afflicted 
with this dreadful disease to go to 
you as soon as they possibly can. 
You may print my name as a refer-

one writing me in regard to your 
treatment. 
Yours respectfully, 
MRS. SARAH WILSON. 
After suffering for three years, I 
heard of Dr. Johnson's treatment of 
cancer and decided to give him a 
trial. I received treatment of him 
for three weeks, and was pronounced 
cured. In the past five and a half 
years I have seen no indication of a 
return of the growth.

am. glad to say that I remain cured 
and there is no sign of it returning,

Dear Doctor: 
It has now been 14 years since 1 
left your place cured of cancer of the 
left breast. Am glad to say that 
there has been no sign of any return- 
ing trouble. 
I was so discouraged when I went 
to see you, fearing I could not be 
cured and must leave my family of 
small children to be cared for by 
others. I was greatly burdened with 
sorrow, but thanks to your treatment 
and the goodness of my Heavenly 
Father who hears and answers pray- 
er, 1 was wholly restored to health. 
I have always been anxious to have 
others afflicted with that terrible 
disease to see the wisdom, of your 
treatment over the knife for cancer. 
I have known so many to die after 
treatment by the knife who 1 feel 
would have lived if your treatment 
had. been used. I am so thankful 
that I was led to go to you, and feel 
anxious for others to go there before 
trying any other remedy. 
I shall ever pray God to give you 
wisdom to master that terrible 
plague, cancer.

in your hands, and if they will apply

To the Public: 
From my own experience I can 
heartily recommend Dr. O. A. John- 
son's treatment for cancer. I was 
afflicted for 5 years. 
I had a cancer of five years stand-

and clean in thirty days. Five 
years have passed since the treat- 
ment and no more signs of cancer.

My Dear Doctor: 
It is with much pleasure and with 
my own willingness to add my in- 
dorsement to your long list in favor 
of your medical treatment for can- 
cer, as I am very grateful for the re- 
sults you have given me. 
It has now been seventeen years 
since I was first troubled with a sore, 
as I called it, on the back of my 
neck, which several doctors advised 
me to have cut out; the only salva- 
tion, they claimed. But I did not 
consent. 
In the summer of 1911 I went to 
Dr. O. A. Johnson and he gave me a 
cure completely, for which I can 
never repay him. My vocabulary 
is not sufficient to express my in- 
dorsement to his treatment. 
I would advise every person troub- 
growth to not delay in seeing Dr. 
Johnson. 
Most respectfully yours,

three weeks I was cured and you said 
you thought I would have no more

symptoms of the trouble returning. 
Since being treated I have recom-

to answer any inquiry regarding 
your treatment for I know if they

Dr. O. A. Johnson,

Dear Sir: 
Replying to yours of the 14th in 
regard to the cure of the cancer on 
my left breast which you removed 
eight years ago, I beg to advise that 
there have been no signs of a return 
of the trouble; no suspicious symp- 
toms so far as I can tell. 
I am in excellent flesh and good 
health for a woman of my age, and 
consider myself entirely cured of the 
trouble. 
Several people have come to see 
me in regard to the treatment and I 
have recommended it to them. 
Trusting that you will be able to 
help a great many as you have me, 
and wishing to be remembered to 
the nurses who were there when I 
was, I am, 
Yours very truly, 
MRS. M. McKELVY. 
About 1904 I had a sore come on 
my lower lip that would not heal. I 
had our home doctor treat it but got 
no better. At last he concluded it 
was a cancer so I next went to a 
sanitarium where they pronounced 
it cancer and told me they thought 
they could cure it. I took treat- 
ment for a month but continued to 
grow worse. 
I finally saw your ad in a Kansas 
City paper, but knowing there were 
so many fakes advertised did not 
think very favorably of it. How- 
ever, I was getting worse all the time, 
and thought I must do something, so 
about July 6, 1905, I went to your 
office and talked with you and your 
patients. From what I saw and

because of the fool advice not to 
bother it until it bothers them. 
I sign my name to this letter so any 
one who wishes may write to me, or 
if you live close enough, come to see 
me. I am personally acquainted 
with Dr. Johnson, and I know that 
he deals honorably with all his pa- 
tients. If he can cure you he will 
gladly do so, but if you are so un- 
fortunate as to be one of the in- 
curables he will tell you so frankly, 
so do not be afraid to trust your 
case with him. 
Dr. Johnson is curing cancer every 
day, and there is a host of us who 
know it. He can cure you if anyone 
can, and for my part I believe your 
chance for a cure is greater with 
him because of his long experience, 
and I am sure there are hundreds of 
others all over the United States 
who will agree with me. 
Yours sincerely,

Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
It was May 23, 1909, that I ap- 
plied to you for treatment, at which 
time my home was in Knoxville, 
Iowa. 
I feel now, after having remained 
cured for more than seven years, that 
I can safely recommend your treat- 
ment as a genuine and permanent 
cure for cancer. I have frequently 
told others of your success and ad- 
vised them to take your treatment; 
but now I want to publicly endorse 
your work by giving you this letter 
to publish. We who have been 
cured by you would seem very un- 
grateful and careless of the suffering 
of hundreds of people now afflicted 
with cancer if we did not join in our 
praise of you,r good work. 
The cancer you cured for me was 
on the right side of my face, in front 
of the ear, and was about one by one 
and a half inches in size. It had 
been troubling me for three years or 
more, but its growth was rather slow. 
I had no idea what caused it to come 
on my face, but I have since learned 
that cancer often comes from a wart 
or mole, a bruise or irritation of some 
kind and sometimes from no appar- 
ent cause whatever. I do not doubt 
that many people die from cancer 
because they don't realize what the 
trouble is until it is too late. My 
advice to all is to go to Dr. Johnson 
as soon as you discover that you 
have an unusual growth or sore. 
Don't waste time, because medicine 
that is good to heal an ordinary sore 
won't cure cancer; and above all, 
don't listen to the ignorant advice 
to let it alone. Too many people 
all around us are dying from cancer

My Dear Friend and Brother: 
I now take the pleasure to drop 
you a few lines to tell you that my 
health is still good, although it has 
been nearly twelve years since you 
treated me for tumors. If it had 
not been for the treatment I re- 
ceived under your care, I probably 
would have been in my grave before 
now. 
I hope that you are having good 
success treating others, as you did 
me, and if any sufferer wishes to ask 
any question in regard to the treat- 
ment, I shall gladly answer it.

My Dear Doctor: 
I feel it my duty to write you a 
testimonial in regard to my case of 
cancer, and to let you know what 
your medic.al treatment, of internal 
and external remedies, did for me. 
About the year 1904, a very small 
wart appeared on my left lower eye- 
lid, about a quarter of an inch from 
the nose. About 4 or 5 years after it 
burst and commenced to spread, 
although I had no pain. I went to 
see a doctor and he said it was a can- 
cer. He applied some medicine but 
got no relief. During this time the 
cancer spread some more and took 
the direction upwards, above my 
nose, side to the corner of my left 
eye. 
About this time a friend of mine 
recommended to me Dr. O. A. John- 
son of Kansas City, Mo., as a 
specialist to cure cancer. On the 
10th of October, 1914, I went to 
Kansas City to see Dr. Johnson. 
On October 12th, 1914, I com- 
menced to take Dr. Johnson's treat- 
ment, and in six weeks I was dis- 
charged as cured by him. Since 
that time to the present day there 
are no signs of the cancer returning. 
My present general health is ex- 
cellent. When I went to Kansas 
City to see Dr. Johnson on October 
10, 1914, my weight was 165 lbs. 
Today my weight is 188 lbs.-a good 
gaining in weight for an old man of 
66 years. 
You may refer anyone to me wish- 
ing to know more of your method of 
treatment. I will be pleased to tell 
them what I know of it. 
Wishing you every success in your 
noble work, and with many thanks 
to you and your assistants for the

To Whom It May Concern: 
I had been afflicted with cancer of 
the nose for 25 years. Physicians 
treated me with no success, the can- 
cer returning each time. 
Hearing, through a friend, of Dr. 
Johnson's wonderful success, I went 
to Kansas City for treatment, in 
January, 1915, and came home 
cured with no signs of a return of 
the cancer. 
The afflicted should not wait but 
go at once. Dr. Johnson and his 
able staff of assistants can take care 
of you in any emergency.

To All Whom It May Concern: 
This is to certify that I was cured 
of what Dr. O. A..Johnson called 
epithelioma (skin cancer). 
I had a lump on my nose of three 
years' standing. I went to Dr. 
Johnson's office and was examined, 
and he fixed up the medicine and I 
took it home. 
I commenced treatment the 15th 
of June, and the sixth day it dropped 
out. The first day of July it was 
healed up without any scar left, and 
I never suffered but very little pain. 
I would advise all cancer sufferers 
to go at once to Dr. Johnson and be 
cured. Don't delay, but go now. 
It has been over three years since 
I was cured and no sign of return.

in six months' time, was transformed 
from its natural shape to one large 
hard lump, changing in color to a 
dark purple. 
I then found a lump was coming 
in my arm pit. It also was making 
a rapid growth. Then I grew 
alarmed and called in our family 
physician for consultation. He ad- 
vised me to have an operation per- 
formed, but my family objected to 
me having it operated on. He then 
advised me to go to Dr. Johnson of 
Kansas City, Missouri, and try his 
medical treatment. 
I arrived at Kansas City on the 
26th day of June, 1911. After con- 
sultation with Dr. Johnson, I con- 
cluded it would be advisable to stay 
and be treated. In three months 
time my cancer was cured. I re- 
mained under treatment one month 
longer and had the lump in my arm 
pit taken out. I came home Novem-

When I arrived in Kansas City, 
June, 1911, I was thin in flesh, just a 
shadow of my former self. I had no 
appetite and my color was of a 
peculiar cast. After returning home, 
I soon began to gain in weight and 
strength. When I started home, 
November 1, I only weighed 97 
pounds. Now, my weight is 120 
pounds. I am doing all my own 
housework and enjoying excellent 
health for a woman of my age. I 
am now 57 years old. 
Taking my age into consideration, 
the state of my general health and 
vitality, and that my cancer was in 
the last stage when I commenced 
treatment, the wonderful progress 1 
have made in the past five and a 
half years since my cancer was cured 
is positive proof that cancer can be 
cured.

who had cancer. One lady who was

For the Benefit of Persons Suffering 
From Cancer: 
In the spring of 1909 I went to see 
two of my home doctors and they 
said I had cancer in my left breast. 
One said for me to be operated on 
and the other said for me to try Dr. 
Johnson's remedy as he did not have 
much faith in operation for cancer. 
I went to see Dr. Johnson and com- 
menced treatment the first of June, 
1909, and came home August 30th. 
I have had good health ever since 
and can do lots of work and weigh 
more than I ever did in my life. No 
signs of a return of the disease, and 
if there were I would go to Dr. John- 
son again as I believe it is the only 
treatment that cancer will yield to.

I was afflicted with cancer of the

for three years. In the spring of

Doctor Was Found. 
1601 Grand Ave., Carthage, Mo. 
June 18, 1917. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Dr. Johnson: 
I feel justly bound to write my 
testimonial with regard to the can- 
cer you cured for me about four years 
ago which had been on my face near 
my left eye for 15 years. Although 
I tried different home doctors the 
cancer continued to get worse. I 
then went to our good Doctor John- 
son and he cured me sound and well 
in four weeks, leaving no scar what- 
ever. I am sure now that I am 
permanently cured. 
Dr. Johnson is up-to-date as a 
specialist. His scientific investiga- 
tion and research enables him to 
permanently cure in a very short 
time, and I know whereof I speak. 
My advice to anyone afflicted with 
cancer is to go to him at once and be 
cured. Every day's delay makes it 
harder to cure, as it gets deeper and 
deeper into the system. I meet 
people who have gone to home doc- 
tors with face all disfigured and eyes 
put out with the effect of the medi- 
cine used, and the cancer still not 
cured. You may have a fine doc- 
tor so far as ordinary sickness is con- 
cerned, but the chances are one in a 
thousand that he can cure you of 
cancer even though he may think 
he can. 
I must say again, don't delay; do 
the wise thing; do the thing you 
want to do, that is, be cured, and 
you will be if you go to Dr. Johnson 
at once. He is a perfect gentleman 
and will treat you like a brother and 
friend, and a friend means much 
when one is afflicted with cancer.

lost a chance to recommend your 
treatment and have sent several

all your dealings and recommend 
your treatment to anyone suffering 
from cancer. 
I was also suffering from female 
trouble and was told by several doc-

continued to use his treatment until 
October and it got no better. Dur- 
ing this time a friend of mine told 
me that Dr. O. A. Johnson of Kansas 
City could cure cancer for he had 
taken one off his lip several years 
ago. So I went up to Dr. Johnson 
and he gave my hand the first treat- 
ment October 26, 1914, and also 
treated it for a few days. Then I 
continued to use his medical treat- 
ment for four weeks, and at the end 
of that time my hand was healed 
up nicely and has given me no 
trouble since. 
I think anyone who has cancer 
will make no mistake when they go 
to Dr. O. A. Johnson to get cured, 
and they will find him and all of his 
assistants perfect gentlemen.

Could Cure Cancer.

Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I take great pleasure in giving my 
testimonial to be placed in your 
book if, by doing this, I may be of 
help to anyone suffering from the 
terrible disease, cancer. 
Dr. Johnson cured me almost eight 
years ago of cancer of the right 
breast. There has at no time been 
the least indication of its return. 
My advice is, if you have cancer, 
go to Dr. Johnson and go right away; 
do not put it off. I know everyone 
is advising you what to do and it is 
hard for you to decide just what is 
best, but I feel you will make no 
mistake in going to him as you will 
find him a gentleman in every way.

I will say for the benefit of the 
public that in the spring of 1914, 
there was a small pimple (or lump)

it began to grow, and burn, and sting, 
and itch at intervals. No salve or 
ointment that I used did it any 
good.

treated it for several days, and I

It is nearly twelve years ago and 
have never had any return of the

Dr. Johnson has done for me he can 
do for others if they will only go to 
him in time. While there I noted

great number of cures effected. I 
have induced several others to go to 
Dr. Johnson and he has cured them 
also. 
I sincerely hope this may give 
some poor cancer sufferer encourage-

relief. Dr. Johnson's ability and 
standing as a cancer specialist is 
nation wide. No one need hesitate 
to place their case in his care. I 
can assure them of kind and careful 
attention.

Dear Doctor: 
It is a pleasure for me to add a few 
words in testimony of the success of 
your medical treatment for cancer. 
I had a cancer in the right breast 
for over three years before I heard of 
your treatment. At first it was not 
painful, only a hard lump. As time 
passed it became larger and very 
tender to the pressure of the hand

This Certifies, That Dr. O. A. 
Johnson, of Kansas City, Mo., cured 
a cancer on my face of two years' 
standing. I live in Jonesburg, Mont- 
gomery County, Missouri. 
Dr. Johnson began treatment of 
my case in April, 1902. 1 was under 
his treatment about six weeks. Now, 
it shows from the dates, that I have 
been cured about 15 years. I have 
no fear of the disease ever returning. 
I have all faith in Dr. Johnson as a 
cancer doctor, or for any other dis- 
ease of the skin. 
I can make affidavit to this state- 
ment if anyone doubts it. 
I refer anyone to Dr. Johnson who 
is afflicted with cancer.

or clothing. After a while a dis- 
charge began through the nipple 
and the breast was quite swollen 
and painful at times. 
I decided I must have treatment 
soon, so at once went to your office 
and was examined by you. My 
case was pronounced scirrhus or 
"hard cancer.'' I asked if I could 
be cured and you said yes. 
I remained under your personal 
care and in nine weeks the cancer 
was all out and the wound healing 
nicely. In two weeks more I was 
ready to go home, a well and happy 
woman, and so grateful to Dr. John-

Dear Doctor Johnson: 
It is nearly four years since I was 
first treated for cancer on my ear. 
I was first treated in Oklahoma, but 
was not cured. Later I went to 
Kansas City and talked with a doc- 
tor who said he could cure me. I 
took treatment for quite a while and 
was finally convinced that he could 
not cure me, and was feeling very 
blue, indeed, for I always had a 
horror of cancer. 
But, fortunately for me, I was 
told to go to Dr. O. A. Johnosn, and 
I went that very day and commenced 
to take treatment. I was convinced 
in a very short time that he was a 
cancer doctor, for I talked to so 
many who were in the waiting room 
from day to day and I could see how 
rapidly they were improving. 
After five weeks treatment I went 
home feeling happy, for I felt that 
I was cured. It was in January, 
1915, that I took treatment and I 
feel that I am entirely cured. 
To those who are afflicted with 
cancer I would advise them to go to 
Dr. O. A. Johnson. He is certainly 
a cancer doctor and a courteous 
gentleman. 
Thanking him for what he has 
done for me and hoping all who read 
this who are afflicted with cancer 
will go to him for I am sure that he 
can cure them, I remain,

I Can See Now Why You Are So 
Successful. 
I was under your personal care 
just four weeks. During that time 
I saw different patients discharged 
as cured, and many others that were 
being treated with apparent suc- 
cess. 
I do not know much about cancer 
treatment, but to me it seemed your 
methods were, and are, most 
thorough in every particular. I was 
not a little surprised, at the time of 
my examination, to note how exact- 
ing you were. I can see now why 
you were so successful, and this suc- 
cess also explains the very large 
practice you have.

Dear Doctor: 
Your treatment for the cancer on 
my right cheek seems to have been 
a success. It was February 22, 
1915, that I went to your institution 
for treatment on the advice of my 
son-in-law, Dr. Stevens, who was at 
that time a senior in the Eclectic 
Medical University of your city, 
and who had done class-work in 
your Cancer Research Laboratory.

My Dear Doctor: 
Lack of time, not inclination, has 
prevented me writing you sooner. 
I came to your office October 13, 
1914, and you termed my trouble 
carcinoma of the left breast. I com- 
menced treatment at once and in 
five weeks my trouble was healed, 
at which time I returned home in 
excellent health and have remained 
so. There is no indication of any 
return of my trouble. 
I am glad to recommend your 
method of treatment to anyone 
suffering with cancerous trouble.

in a mole that was repeatedly ir-

The cancer itself was present some- 
thing like two years or more, and 
had grown to about the size of one

Shortly before going under your 
treatment the cancer had begun to

Dear Sir: 
I am sending you a testimonial re- 
garding my cancer which you cured. 
You treated me in the year of 1904 
and I am glad that I can tell the 
people that I am cured. 
My cancer was on the lip, in the 
inside. It commenced coming on 
my lip in 1903. I went to my home 
doctor and he wanted to cut it out 
with the knife but I would not give 
up for that. I went to another doc- 
tor and he wanted to do the same 
thing. I told him that if he could 
put some medicine on it that would 
take it off, I would let him. try it. 
He said he could and I let'him put 
the medicine on. He took it off but 
in about two weeks it came back 
and was about twice as big as it had 
been before. 
Then I saw Dr. Johnson's adver- 
tisement in the paper as a specialist 
on cancer so I wrote to him about 
it. He advised me to come and let 
him see me. I went and he said 
he could cure me. I took his treat- 
ment and in one month after I com- 
menced with him I was cured and 
have not been bothered with the 
cancer since. That has been thir- 
teen years ago and I feel better than 
I ever did before. 
I will be glad to answer any letter 
anyone may write me about Dr. 
Johnson and his treatment, for I 
think he can cure them if they will 
go to him in time and take his treat- 
ment. 
Thanking him for what he has 
done for me, I remain,

Dear Doctor: 
Your letter received and with great

I was a sufferer of cancer of the 
lower lip for a number of years. I 
tried some of my home doctors, but 
they wanted to use the knife, 
which I was warned from by others. 
A friend of mine told me about 
Doctor Johnson's treatment without 
the knife. I went to him the sum- 
mer of 1914 and I think I can faith- 
fully say that I have been cured. 
Everyone afflicted with cancer 
should not wait, but go to Dr. John-

Dr. O. A. Johnson,

Dear Doctor: 
Your letter received. I am glad 
to inform you that your treatment 
for my cancers proved very success- 
ful. I had, for several years, what 
I believed were malignant sores on 
my nose and ear. I tried many 
kinds of remedies and finally con- 
sulted my home doctor, who em- 
ployed remedies and also the X-ray, 
but I rapidly grew worse. Then I 
consulted another doctor who said I 
had cancers in advanced stages and 
that I should see a specialist at once 
as delay was very dangerous. I 
wrote you for your book on cancer, 
and after reading it I decided to go 
to you for treatment. After a care- 
ful examination you told me you 
could cure me in eight weeks. That 
was last October and before Christ- 
mas I came home completely cured. 
Words cannot express how grate- 
ful I am to you for what you did for 
me, nor how glad I am that I went 
to you for treatment. The world 
owes a debt of gratitude to a physi- 
cian of such wonderful ability. I 
wish every cancer sufferer knew of 
you and your ability to cure cancers 
and had the means to visit you, for 
you can cure all who go in time. 
If any sufferer sees this letter and 
will write me, I shall be glad to ans- 
wer, hoping I may be the means of 
others finding a cure as I did. I am 
seventy-three years of age and I am 
enjoying good health.

success, I am,

I have been, and will say to all who

lose any time in correspondence. 
You will find Dr. Johnson and his in-

and that his former patients tell the

you can't believe the Doctor because 
you may not know him, you can 
surely believe we who have been

ing in all parts of the United States, 
and so far as I know each one is 
recommending privately or pub- 
licly the place where they themselves 
were cured. Like myself, I believe 
they are doing this because of grati- 
tude to Dr. Johnson and a sincere 
desire to help anyone afflicted with 
cancer. Dr. Johnson is a man of 
his word. I recommend him to 
you with the greatest of confidence.

My Dear Doctor: 
I want to help some unfortunate 
cancer sufferer find a cure for his can- 
cer, so I give this public endorsement 
of your treatment. 
Three years ago the 12th of last 
April, I arrived at your office and at 
once went under treatment for a 
cancer on my right cheek just below 
the eye. The cancer had been on 
me a year, or perhaps a little longer. 
It had an itching, burning feeling, 
but did not bother me much until 
shortly before I went to see you. It 
began to grow more rapidly and I 
saw it was time I was doing some- 
thing for it. 
When I sent and got your books I 
decided right away that I wanted 
you to treat me, and I am glad to 
say I made no mistake. I con- 
sider myself cured of the cancer, and 
I was fortunate enough to be cured 
on my first attempt. While at your 
place I observed that most of your 
patients had been treated one or 
more times before coming to you, 
paying out money and wasting val- 
uable time. That's why I say I 
was fortunate in going to you in the 
first place. It is too bad others 
don't go to you before they fool away 
time and money trying first one 
thing and then another, but I suppose 
many of them don't hear of you in 
time to make your treatment their 
first choice. 
I know a Mr. S. Schoffner of this 
city whom you cured of cancer 12 
or 14 years ago. You also cured a 
Mr. Fail of Eureka 8 or 10 years ago.

has been fine ever since. He also

Dear Friend: 
I was suffering from cancer on 
the under lip. I had it about eight 
months, although my lip had been 
sore at intervals for a number of 
years. Our home doctor pronounced 
it cancer and wanted to cut it out, 
but I would not have that. 
One of my friends told me about 
Dr. Johnson, so I went to Kansas 
City and started to take treatment 
January 27, 1916, and left March 1, 
1916, a well man. My lip has never 
given me any more trouble. My 
health was built up as well as having 
that awful dreaded disease, cancer, 
cured. 
I found Dr. Johnson's treatment 
just what he represented it to be. 
I have had a good many inquiries 
about his treatment and I always 
advise them to go to Dr. Johnson. 
I earnestly wish I could get the suf- 
fering people to know as much about 
Dr. Johnson's success as I do. 
If anyone wishes to write me for

to do so and I will answer any and

commenced paining, a kind of a

Great Confidence in Dr. Johnson. 
Quinter, Kans., May 23, 1917. 
To Whom. It May Concern: 
Having been a patient of Dr. O. 
A. Johnson, 1 wish to recommend 
him and his method of treatment. 
I had a cancer on my lower lip 
about four years prior to treatment, 
and after a very short time the Doc- 
hard cancer of the right breast, I am 
satisfied it will never return. 
My cancer was caused from 
bruises. I have had nine children. 
The four oldest ones 1 nursed on the 
right breast, but 1 never seemed to 
have very much milk in it. When 
the fifth child was born, it hurt me so 
to nurse him I gave it up and let him 
have the left breast and bottle. I 
did the same with the other four. 
1 had no further trouble with my 
right breast from, the time my fifth 
child was born until I weaned my 
last one. Then I had what our home 
doctor called broken breast. He 
also said there were two lumps in my 
breast of a cancerous form, and if it 
ever bothered me again he wouldn't 
touch it with the knife and for me 
not to let any one else. My broken 
breast didn't heal up for nearly a 
year, but from that time twelve 
years went by and I had nearly for- 
gotten about the lumps in my breast, 
when all at once one of the lumps 
became attached to the skin and 
would gather and break every month. 
I then thought of what our home- 
doctor told me and begun to think in 
what way 1 could find a cure. 1 
found three ads in papers of different 
cancer doctors. I heard from all of 
them. Their prices were all about 
the same but someway I didn't think 
I wanted to go to any of them for 
treatment and was always looking 
for more ads. 
Well, I found Dr. Johnson's ad and 
how glad I have been since. When I 
received his letter and book I made 
up my mind that was where I was 
going. 1 wrote to some of the 
women he had cured and they wrote 
such nice letters to me, praising Dr. 
Johnson and advising me to go to him 
without delay. 
It was nearly a year before 1 made 
up my mind to go, my breast break- 
ing every month. Some of my 
family and neighbors said I would 
come back worse than when I went. 
tor removed it and 1 have had no 
trouble since. 1 took this treatment 
in March, 1913, and feel that I am. 
cured. 
It is with great confidence in Dr. 
Johnson and his help that I recom- 
mend him to anyone suffering with 
cancer. 
Yours very truly, 
V. M. HARRIS.

Dear Doctor: 
In answer to your letter inquiring 
as to my health, will say that I 
believe I am entirely cured, both of 
cancer and piles. Thanks to you 
and your treatment. 
I believe I have waited a reason- 
able length of time before writing

Dear Doctor: 
I received your "Health Messen- 
ger,'' also your letter of inquiry re- 
garding my condition. 
When I came to your institute 
July 4, 1916, I was in poor health 
and sick at heart from the thoughts 
of having cancer, which was of six- 
teen months duration. My home 
doctor told me not to let anyone 
tamper with plasters in any way, 
that the only way to do was to cut 
it out slick and clean. I could not 
think of the knife. 
My daughter saw your ad. in a 
magazine as a cancer specialist, so 
she sent for your book, which came 
promptly. If it had not been for 
my dear girls (they said I must have 
something done) I would have died 
a victim of that disease. 
I had cancer of the left breast, and 
after taking your treatment I can 
say I am cured, and I feel that I will 
stay cured as it has been nearly a 
year and there are no signs of a re- 
turn. I am feeling fine and cannot 
express my gratitude for what you 
have done for me. I sincerely thank 
you and the dear nurses who so 
kindly and faithfully cared for me. 
My friends all think my cure remark- 
able, as my age was 73. 
I will gladly answer anyone who 
wishes to write me, and I will always 
recommend Dr. O. A. Johnson as 
the one to cure cancer. 
Respectfully yours, 
MRS. RHODA KAUFFMAN. 
was cancer of the left breast. It be- 
gan with a small lump just to the left 
of the nipple. I had almost constant 
pain between shoulders, and I was 
run-down in general. I am now 
feeling fine, without either symp- 
toms of cancer or piles. 
Doctor, you are at liberty to use 
this letter in any way you see fit, 
and I will gladly answer any letters 
sent me regarding my case. 
My husband and I wish to thank 
you again for fine treatment given 
me while under your care.

like all the other doctors I had tried. 
Anyway, on the 26th day of Septem- 
ber, 1905, I started to take treat-

of December, the same year, he dis- 
charged me from his care a well

am a well woman and never think 
any more of my old trouble. 
I am writing this testimonial on 
the 16th day of June, 1917, nearly

hope it may help other sufferers who

Dear Doctor: 
It has been eleven years since you 
cured my lower lip of a bad cancer, 
and, to all appearances, it is cured 
for all time. The last one you 
treated for me four years ago is all 
sound and well and my health is 
good. I guess you gave me a new 
lease on life. 
I am glad to be able to thank you 
and hope that suffering humanity 
will hear of your wonderful remedies 
and do as I did-go and get cured. 
If I had the power to influence all 
suffering with that dreaded disease 
to try your treatment, I certainly 
would do it. Doctor, anything that 
I may say that will lead anyone to 
try your treatment, you are at 
liberty to use it. 
In closing, I must thank you and 
hope you will continue your useful-

thought I would try home treatment,

got his medicine, and it was the same 
old thing, no benefit. I then let it 
go for four years, and the lump kept 
on growing until it was as large as a 
turkey egg and had drawn the nipple

Dear Doctor: 
You may be sure that I am most 
happy to recommend your place for 
the cure of cancer. 
For ten long years I was afflicted 
with cancer on my face. A great 
deal of this time I was trying to get it 
cured and, toward the last, under- 
went a long course of X-ray treat- 
ment which had practically no effect 
so far as curing the cancer was con- 
cerned.

city learned of my affliction and on 
his return home told you of me and

show. 
Because of my experience, what 1 
saw at your place and knowing you 
have cured several others in my 
county, I can most conscientiously 
recommend you to all cancer suffer- 
ers. I advise all to go to you just as 
soon as they hear of your place. I 
believe you can cure when others 
can't, but even you cannot cure if 
the patient waits until he is almost 
in the grave before going to you. 
I say this because I know of your 
having told patients that they had 
come to you too late. 
If anyone reading this statement 
should like to write me, please send

years since you removed the cancer

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
Your letter received, and I am 
glad to inform, you that I am. cured; 
feel fine and am. able to do my work. 
In January, 1916, I found a small 
lump in my right breast about as 
large as a hazel nut. . In April, fol- 
lowing, I heard of Dr. Johnson and 
left home the 7th day of May. It 
had grown by that time to the size 
of a walnut. I stayed till the 25th 
day of July, and came home cured. 
I would advise anyone to go in 
time, as it is so much better for the 
patient and also for the doctor. 
My age was 72 years, and I went 
without any of my family and 
stayed without seeing them, until I 
returned home. 
I surely cannot be too thankful to 
the Doctor and his kind nurses. 
They were all very kind to me during 
my stay with them. 
Yours respectfully, 
MRS. W. E. LANCE. 
Now, Doctor, if you wish you may 
use my letter as a testimonial if it 
will help convince anyone that you 
can and do cure cancer. I would be 
ungrateful and selfish if I did not 
help to prove clearly to the afflicted 
the value of your treatment. I will 
only be doing my duty to my fellow 
man and may save someone from

too late to expect beneficial results 
from anyone in the profession of 
medicineof whom youseek relief from 
cancer. And I advise seeking relief 
from this terrible disease to only 
risk yourself in the management of 
an experienced and a specially skilled 
physician or surgeon in the treat- 
ment of tumors of malignancy. I 
did this, although my medical breth- 
ren gave me "hades" for so doing 
and then endorsing the physician

Now, Doctor Johnson, you may 
use my endorsement as here written.

Dear Doctor: 
I am in receipt of your valued and 
esteemed letter in which I take note 
that you announce your new book 
about ready for the printer, covering 
the subject matter of cancer, its eti- 
ology, pathology and treatment, as 
well as much testimony in the form 
of endorsements of your invaluable 
cancer treatment by those unfortu- 
nates who have had cancerous disease 
to contend with, of which I myself 
was a victim ten years ago.

printer's press, its depository in the 
mail service of our Uncle Samuel, 
the falling of it into the hands of 
someone afflicted with this treach- 
erous, dangerous and dreaded dis- 
ease (a serious ailment that will 
sooner or later dispatch its possessor 
if allowed its own usual course of 
activities until all chances, all op- 
portunities have escaped from the 
victim for well-directed and timely 
treatment) I want to endorse for the 
facts, the results derived myself 
from the advice, management and 
treatment in my own case of epithel- 
ioma (skin cancer) of the nose that 
had assumed the form of malig- 
nancy, believing that anything I 
could do or say useful for victims of 
this most dreaded and deadly dis- 
ease, especially among the elderly 
peoples of all nationalities, when 
neglected, ignorantly treated or per- 
mitted to run its own usual way into 
that stage of malignancy from which 
nothing may be expected by appeal-

of medicine, the art of the surgeon,

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I am truly thankful the cancer 
I had in my left breast was removed 
by medical treatment and healed so 
nicely. It was removed in Novem- 
ber, 1915, and no signs of recurrence. 
It would soon have caused a great 
deal of suffering. 
The Doctor and nurses were very 
kind, and I received the best of 
treatment at all times while I was 
there. 
I can recommend this treatment 
to anyone afflicted with that dread- 
ful disease, and would urge them not 
to put it off too long but give Dr. 
Johnson's treatment a trial and I 
am sure they will never regret it. 
May God bless and prosper the 
Doctor in his efforts to relieve suf- 
fering humanity.

Dear Doctor: 
To the cancer suffering people 
throughout the universe I wish to 
give my testimonial as a patient 
under the care of Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
of Kansas City, Missouri. 
For two years I suffered with skin 
cancer of the face and ear, and after 
two or three weeks treatment I was 
completely cured. No indication of 
a return of the dreaded malady has 
since appeared, and it has been a 
year and a half since I was discharged 
by the Doctor as cured. I came 
home October 28, 1915. 
I take pride in recommending Dr. 
Johnson as scientific in the treat- 
ment of cancer, and as a gentleman 
of the highest type and a heart filled 
with charity, courtesy and good will 
toward his fellow beings. 
Very truly,

broke open and became a running 
sore. Then I went to my family 
physician and he told me I had a 
cancer. I was then advised by a 
friend who had taken treatment 
from you to go to you, which I did. 
I left for Kansas City the 16th 
of January, 1916, and returned on 
the 5th of February, 1916, with my 
lip healed up fine and has since 
shown no signs of returning. 
I think Dr. Johnson's treatment a 
fine one, and praise him and his es- 
tablishment very much.

Suffered 16 Years With Cancer 
On Lower Lip. 
Dodge City, Kans., June 1, 1917. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
With greatest pleasure I can rec- 
ommend your treatment for can- 
cer, having suffered from it on my 
lower lip since 1900. 
In August, 1916, I determined to 
try and get it cured. It had grown 
to look so bad and disagreeable to 
be seen. Your Dr. Richmond ex- 
amined me, as you were not at the 
office when I called. He told me it 
would take three to six weeks to have 
it cured. Three weeks to the day 
the cancer came off, a piece about an 
inch in diameter, and it was a great 
relief. My lip has been filling in 
ever since, and today it is pretty 
nearly level but not quite the same 
shape as it used to be. 
Will gladly answer any questions 
to any person suffering from cancer 
regarding your treatment if they 
will only send an addressed and 
stamped envelope. 
Yours sincerely, 
W. T. WILLIAMS.

Dr. O. A. Johnson,

Dear Doctor: 
This is my endorsement of your 
good treatment and unequaled skill 
in curing cancer. I wish I could talk 
personally to those who may read 
this letter, but of course that is not 
possible. 
It will soon be ten years since Dr. 
Johnson cured me of a cancer on the 
left side of my neck measuring one 
by one and a half inches. As there 
has been no sign of any further 
trouble I feel that I am permanently 
cured, for surely if the disease was 
going to come back on me it would 
have done so long ago. 
It was on the third day of De- 
cember, 1906, that I applied to Dr. 
Johnson for treatment. Less than 
three months previous to that time 
I had the cancer cut out, so you see 
the knife didn't cure. I don't ad- 
vise anyone afflicted with cancer to 
have it cut out, for my experience is 
that the knife will not cure, but 
often makes matters worse. I had a 
sister who died from cancer, so I 
think my advice is worth something. 
After getting the benefit I did from 
Dr. Johnson's treatment, and re- 
maining well all this time, I feel that 
I can recommend his treatment very 
highly, and I cheerfully do so for the 
benefit of every man and woman 
who is suffering from, cancer. If you 
have got a cancer, go to the doctor 
who knows how to cure it. I know 
that Dr. Johnson has been success- 
fully treating cancer for a good many 
years, and he is the man that can 
cure you if anyone can. He has 
cured where others failed, and when 
he cures you, you need not be afraid 
that the cancer will come back. 
It is my sincere wish that all who 
I Am Doing One of the Best 
Acts for Humanity I Ever Did. 
Clover Bend, Ark., June 18, 1917. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
It was May 19, 1914, that I ar- 
rived at your office in Kansas City 
for treatment. My cancer was on 
my forehead, and I also had a small 
growth on the nose. 1 had been 
troubled more or less for 25 years, 
but slowly getting worse. 
I advise any person that has a sore 
or growth on them, not to wait month 
after month or year after year ex- 
pecting the thing to get well or heal 
by medicine given by a doctor who 
doesn't know anything about cancer. 
My advice is to see a good cancer 
doctor at once, and I believe Dr. 
Johnson is the best doctor for cancer 
that is to be found-and one thing is 
certain, he will tell you the truth 
about your trouble and if he tells 
you he can cure you, you can count 
on it he will. 
I think the time and money I 
spent in going to Kansas City and 
taking Dr. Johnson's treatment is 
the best investment I ever made, and 
every other person who goes to Dr. 
Johnson in time will think the same. 
If you don't, it's because you think 
more of money than you do of good 
health. 
I will soon be 77 years old. I have 
tried to do all the good I could in 
this world, and in urging you cancer 
sufferers to go at once to Dr. John- 
son I think I am doing one of the 
best acts for humanity I ever did.

By this time people began to speak 
to me about it, and I found to my 
astonishment that there were five 
persons I knew in our neighborhood 
that you had cured. I talked with 
some of them personally and talked 
to others over the phone, and with 
one common assent they said to 
waste no time in getting to you, that 
you were not only skilled in your line 
of business but a perfect gentleman. 
I went to you the last of July, 1912, 
and was there for four and a half 
weeks and came away perfectly sound 
and well and have no fear of the 
disease ever returning. 
I found you and your staff of phy-

every way in your business and to be, 
as had been recommended to me, 
perfect gentlemen and ladies. There 
was a very large piece taken out of 
my face, yet there is no scar, the 
healing process was so successfully 
guarded by your physicians. 
I told one of your doctors some 
time before leaving that my wife 
was afflicted with what I was sure 
was the beginning of the same trou-

it and it has cured her. There is no 
sign of the trouble now. 
I know of and can give postoffice 
addresses of fifteen different persons 
in this and adjoining counties whom 
you have cured of cancer; not only 
diagnosed as cancer by yourself, but 
physicians whom, they had consulted 
had pronounced them, cancer suf-

Doctor, I shall gladly answer any 
letters of inquiry that I may receive 
as to your treatment. You have 
proved yourselves to be perfect gen- 
tlemen and skilled in all you profess 
to be, and my wife and I shall, with 
our many friends, ever feel grateful 
to you for what you have done for us.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Sir: 
I voluntarily give you this testi- 
monial for the benefit of persons who 
may be suffering with cancer. 
For three years I was afflicted with 
a place on my face, under my right 
eye, on the side of my nose. I am a 
minister, and began to see that it was 
getting so bad I could not stand in 
the pulpit much longer if my trouble 
continued. I began to consult many 
doctors and they all pronounced it 
true epithelioma, but differed as to 
treatment. Some wanted me to let 
it alone, some wanted to cut it out 
at once and one in whom. I had most 
confidence said he believed he could 
take it out by freezing. To this 
treatment I submitted for about 
fifteen months and found myself 
growing worse. 
I went to St. Louis in June, 1912, 
to a sanitarium, and the chief phy- 
sician said he would advise me to let 
it alone. The disease was putting 
me out of business and my people 
were depending on me, so the same 
day I went to another sanitarium, 
where the chief physician wanted me 
to get on the table and let him. cut 
it out and then turn the X-ray on it. 
Still I was not satisfied so went to a 
special skin and cancer hospital. 
They asked me what had been done 
to it, and I told them. They said 
then if it would not yield to freezing 
they would cauterize it. I knew that 
would take a long time and be very 
expensive, for 1 knew one patient 
under that treatment for about 
eight months and he was not cured. 
So I came home and the place was 
getting so large that I saw I would 
have to do something for it.

Dear Dr. Johnson: 
I promised you I would give my 
public indorsement of your institu- 
tion for the treatment of cancer, and 
feeling that I am permanently cured 
I am now ready to do so. 
It was early in February, 1912, 
that I called upon you for treatment 
of a cancer on the right side of my 
nose near the eye. The growth was 
the size of a marble, with ulcerated 
center and hard base, which I later 
learned was a common condition for 
cancer. 
Mr. Donnell, who was our post- 
master at the time I took your treat- 
ment, (I then lived in Waverly, 
Kans.) advised me to go to you. I 
was also acquainted with at least 
three others person in that city whom 
you had treated successfully, so 
with such evidence of your ability 
I had every confidence in you, even 
though I did not know you per- 
sonally. 
When I went to your office in 
Kansas City I was astonished to see 
the scientific manner in which pa- 
tients were examined and treated, 
that you had so many patients and 
that they were coming to you from 
such great distances. It is not so 
surprising now that I know how 
very successful you are and that 
every patient you cure sends one or 
more sufferers to you. 
I am 77 years old and I am. en- 
joying excellent health, which I at- 
tribute to the good treatment I 
received at your hands.

cure of others which I know you have

In the spring of 1911, it began to

family wanted me to have something 
done for my face. 
I asked two doctors what the lump 
on my face was. They said it was 
cancer. One of them treated me 
for cancer for about two months, 
but did not cure me. 
I saw Dr. O. A. Johnson's ad in a 
Kansas City paper and made up 
my mind to see him. On the 22nd 
of March, 1911, I began taking treat- 
ment for cancer under Dr. Johnson's 
direction. In four weeks I was 
cured and back home again, and I 
now have no cancer. 
Now we all feel grateful toward 
Dr. Johnson and his helpers for their 
treatment and kindness. I would 
gladly recommend Dr. O. A. John- 
son to any cancer sufferer.

My Dear Doctor: 
I am so thoroughly pleased with 
the treatment you gave me for the 
cancer I had on my lower lip that I 
take this means of expressing my 
gratitude to you for the cure you 
made. 
I am convinced that I am fully 
cured. This letter is not only to 
tell you of my gratitude to you, but 
it is given also for the benefit and 
encouragement it may bring to any 
man or woman afflicted with cancer. 
To them I want to say that they 
cannot, in my judgment, go to any 
doctor or institution where they will 
be so certain of having their cancer 
cured as they will at your place. 
I believe this most confidently; not 
only because you have cured me so 
nicely, but also because of what I 
saw you were doing for so many 
others. 
In view of all this I feel that it is 
my duty to indorse your work in 
the interest of suffering humanity. 
I advise anyone that has cancer to 
go immediately to you for treat- 
ment, and the sooner they go the 
happier they will be. 
Don't listen to the person who 
tells you that cancer can't be cured. 
I know it can be cured, and I am 
only one of hundreds of Dr. John- 
son's patients that knows this. The 
man or woman that has been cured 
by Dr. Johnson is the person from 
whom you should take advice. I, 
myself, heard of Dr. Johnson through 
the kindness of one of his cured 
patients, a Mr. Isaac Pruitt of 
Utica, Kansas. Now I am cured 
and I'm telling everyone I can where 
they should go to get their cancer

I suffered with cancer on the lower

the form of a seed wart and gradually 
grew until I had to do something. 
Having tried treatment through 
other doctors, which only made it 
worse, they all recommended the

mine living at La Junta, Colorado,

Dear Doctor: 
I take pleasure in saying that the 
cancer in my left breast and under 
arm which you removed for me in 
November, 1915, shows no sign of 
coming back. 
Anyone that has cancer should 
lose no time in going to Dr. O. A. 
Johnson, as we think him a won-

I will gladly answer anyone that 
wishes to know anything in regard 
to Dr. Johnson. 
Wishing you great success, I re-

Yours respectfully, 
MRS. KATE McCLARY. 
I can say that Dr. Johnson's treat-

than the cancer. The Doctor cured 
my stomach and bowels when the 
doctors here said I never would be 
cured. 
I wish I could persuade everyone 
afflicted with cancer to go to you for 
treatment, for I know it was you 
that cured me. I was 75 years old 
when I went to commence treat- 
ment, and now my health is better 
than for years. 
Dr. Johnson gave me medicine in- 
ternally, as well as externally, which 
cleared up my system. I eat well 
and sleep well, and am. enjoying 
good health with no signs of the 
cancer returning. 
Now, I am. not paid to make this 
statement; I do it for the good it 
may do some other poor suffering 
one, as I was. I saw many at Dr. 
Johnson's office that had been cured, 
and some had been cured for years. 
I am. able to testify to this, and that 
Dr. Johnson is able to cure any 
cancer that can be cured, therefore 1 
advise any person who is afflicted 
with that dread disease, cancer, not 
to put off going to Dr. Johnson for 
treatment, for I know there is dan- 
ger in putting it off. I have seen 
them cured by Dr. Johnson after the 
knife had been used, so I do most 
earnestly advise everyone with can- 
cer not to put off going to be cured. 
Dr. Johnson, you may refer any- 
one to me that wishes to know more 
about my case and I will be pleased 
to tell them what I know of your 
treatment and the kindness of all 
employees. I am ready to help 
anyone who has cancer and will 
answer all letters advising them to 
go to you as soon as they find out 
they have cancer. 
I shall be very glad if this letter 
is the means of directing some afflict- 
ed one to you. 
Best wishes for your success.

Dear Doctor: 
I found your address in a paper, 
wrote to you and received your 
letter, also your books telling all 
about cancer, and lots of testimonials 
from, patients that had been cured, 
some of them, ten and twelve years 
ago and no return of cancer. 
I wrote to three different ones of 
your old patients and all gave me 
encouragement to go to you at once, 
and 1 did so. I do thank the Lord 
and you, Doctor, for the treatment I 
received and the kindness of all the 
doctors and nurses. If I can say 
anything that will be of any en- 
couragement to anyone that is af- 
flicted with that horrible disease, 
cancer, I will gladly do so. 
I am, as I think, well of the cancer 
in my right breast. 1 commenced 
your treatment July 13, 1916, and 
when I came to your office 1 was a 
physical wreck. 1 had been treated 
by a doctor who said I had gall 
stones, and was given medicine that 
made my stomach and bowels raw, 
and Dr. Johnson had a time with 
me to get me healed up. It took 
much longer to cure my stomach

worse cases than mine, and not one 
dissatisfied patient, but all praised 
Dr. Johnson and his most humane 
treatment. 
I would advise anyone who is 
suffering to lose no time, but go to 
Dr. Johnson at once. You will find 
everything just as he represents it, 
and a most kind hearted, grand good 
fellow is the Doctor. 
I will answer any letters of in- 
quiry in regard to my case and what 
I saw at Doctor Johnson's if you 
will send a self addressed and 
stamped envelope. 
I only wish I could command 
language to make this letter more 
appealing to all suffering with that 
dreaded disease, cancer. Anyhow, all 
I say here comes from the depth of 
my heart and I hope it will guide 
you to Dr. Johnson that your life 
may be saved.

Dear Dr. Johnson: 
About July or August, 1915, I 
noticed a small spot on my right 
cheek, somewhat raised at the edge 
with a scab which would come off 
and another one form; would sting 
and itch at times. It went on in 
this way until in December, 1915, 
I began to feel very uneasy, and as 
I was on furlough from the National 
Military Home, Kansas, I started 
for there and went direct to the 
hospital. The chief surgeon pro- 
nounced it a small cyst, that it did 
not amount to anything, and or- 
dered one of the assistant doctors 
to remove it. At first I would not 
consent to that, but I finally did 
consent to let them, cut it out, and 
in five weeks he discharged me as 
cured. I procured a furlough and 
went home, but there was a small 
place that did not heal. The spells 
of itching and stinging did not cease, 
and finally it commenced to grow 
rapidly. 
It was a little later that I heard of 
Dr. Johnson and I wrote and told 
him. about my case the best I could. 
He sent me some literature and ad- 
vised me to come to his institution at 
Kansas City. I arrived at Dr. 
Johnson's office May 31, 1916, the 
luckiest day of my life. I was met 
by a kind lady nurse and taken into 
Dr. Johnson's private office. Pres- 
ently the Doctor came in, examined 
my face carefully, gave first treat- 
ment and on the 11th day of July, 
I was discharged as cured. My face 
has never given me the least trouble 
since, although the cancer, when it 
came out, was the size of a silver 
dollar. 
I saw many patients, some much

Dear Doctor: 
I received your letter yesterday. 
Will now reply. I have been want- 
ing to write you a letter for a long 
time, but kept putting it off. 
July 18, 1916, I went to you for 
treatment of cancer of the nose, and 
left August 24, 1916. After coming 
home 1 gave it a week's treatment 
and it healed nicely. I am glad to 
say that I am cured. I feel better 
this winter than I have for several 
years. 
If you will send me three or four 
of your books I will gladly pass them 
around.

To Whom. It May Concern: 
I was a sufferer from, piles for a 
good many years, also had a lump 
in my right breast which drew the 
nipple back in the breast. I wrote to 
Dr. Johnson for advice, and finally, 
after three years' correspondence 
with him, 1 went to Kansas City for 
treatment. 1 took ten weeks' treat- 
ment, and returned home the spring 
of 1916. 
I believe I am. cured; at least there 
is no return of any of my complaints. 
I wouldn't be back in my condition 
before I took Dr. Johnson's treat- 
ment for any amount of money. 
I can't say too much for Dr. John- 
son and his staff of co-workers. I 
always tell people of my experience 
there, and will answer all letters of 
inquiry.

Would beg to say in reply that your

enjoying life. I am always glad to 
hear from you, and that you are do- 
ing such a great work for humanity. 
You certainly deserve success in 
your noble work. 
Since writing you last I have re- 
moved from the farm. I live here 
in Killam. I own and run the

I have bought several hundred

going down there before long. They 
have a delightful climate. 
In regard to using my name or 
testimonial, I give you liberty to use 
it any way that will benefit humanity.

again. I was over it pretty thorough- 
ly when I was being treated by you

had any symptoms of cancer since 
you cured me. I believe your treat-

I am certainly anxious to tell any-

Dear Friend: 
I had a mole under my left ear 
for several years. When I would 
shave 1 would sometimes cut it. 
Then it began to grow. It grew to 
be a large lump, then it broke and 
began to run. I went and saw a doc- 
tor. He told me he could cure me 
and treated me three months, then 
gave it up. 
Someone told me they thought it 
was a cancer, so I got to searching 
for a cancer cure. I saw Dr. O. A. 
Johnson's treatment advertised in 
the Kansas City Journal, so 1 went 
to Kansas City and found Dr. John- 
son. He told me he could cure me. 
He went to work, took my cancer 
out and cured me in five weeks. It 
was about the size of a silver dollar. 
I have been cured about eight 
years. I am well and stout and glad 
it is cured. I would not have the 
cancer back for many times the price 
it cost to cure me. 
I think Dr. Johnson's treatment 
for cancer is good and all right. Give 
his treatment a trial. Go in time. 
Don't put it off. The longer you 
wait the worse it will be. This is 
from one who has had experience. 
Yours very sincerely,

To Whom. It May Concern: 
I will write to benefit the afflicted 
like I was. I knew not where to go 
for help until my daughter wrote to 
Dr. O. A. Johnson of Kansas City, 
Mo. It certainly does my heart 
good to know that our Father in 
Heaven made preparation for His 
afflicted people in this world to be 
relieved of such an affliction as I 
had. For more than five years I 
suffered with cancer of the left 
breast. Not one of my friends ever 
thought 1 would go of my own accord, 
but go I did to regain my health. 
I would advise anyone that suffers 
as I did just to go to Dr. Johnson at 
once, for the longer you wait the 
harder it will be for him to cure you, 
and you may never be cured if you 
wait too long. You can't imagine 
what satisfaction it was to me for 
Dr. Johnson to tell me that he could 
cure me. After I was there only 
four weeks I could tell I was cured. 
I went there the 10th of May, 1915, 
and returned home on the 17th of 
June a well woman and never have 
any sign of cancer any more. 
My step-son came home and could 
hardly believe that I was cured, as 
his poor mother had to die with the 
same disease after going to Philadel- 
phia to the doctors, and could find 
no one that could cure her. The 
poor man sure felt bad for they tried 
everything anyone could, but to no 
avail. She couldn't lie down for a 
long time, just sat up and moved back 
and forth in her chair for a whole 
summer till, in fact, the whole family 
suffered with her till it could be seen 
on their features. They sure would 
have gone to Kansas City if Dr. 
Johnson had been found. I sin- 
cerely hope if there is another poor 
sufferer in the world like that some-

Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I was afflicted five years with a 
small cancer at the inner corner of 
my right eye against the nose. It 
had never given me any particular 
trouble, but on the advice of a 
Kansas City physician, whom I 
had consulted for another ailment, 
I went to Dr. Johnson to have the 
cancer removed. This was in Octo- 
ber, 1915. The treatment proved 
successful, and so far as I can tell I 
have been fully and permanently 
cured. The scar where the cancer 
was removed is so slight it is scarcely 
noticeable except by close examina- 
tion. 
I have 'nothing but the highest 
praise for Dr. Johnson and his as- 
sistants. I could not have been 
treated with greater respect and 
courtesy, and in view of this and 
my cure 1 gladly indorse their in- 
stitution and recommend it to any- 
one who may have need of cancer 
treatment. 
I was 66 years old when I was 
treated. The treatment did not 
incapacitate me nor affect my health 
in any manner. Today I am in as 
good health as most men of my age. 
Take my advice and go to Dr. 
Johnson at once if you have cancer. 
He will cure you if you go in time. 
Yours truly,

his lady nurses. 
I have been telling all my friends

have cancer will go to him for treat-

wait too long. 
God bless Dr. Johnson and his 
treatment.

Dear Doctor: 
About seven years ago I was 
treated for cancer on my lower lip 
by you and cured. 
I feel that I can recommend your 
treatment to anyone who may be 
afflicted with cancer, and I am sure 
cancer can be crued by your treat-

I Had Confidence in You Because 
of Your Plain Statement of 
Facts. 
Whiteburg, Iowa, July 5, 1917. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
It was the later part of September, 
1914, that I came to you for treat- 
ment of a cancer on the right side of 
my nose, which had been troubling 
me for a year and a half. 
Previous to coming to you my 
cancer had been cut twice within 
three months, but neither time did I 
get any lasting benefit. I was made 
happy when you said you could cure 
me, and you did just what you said 
you would. 
I had confidence in you, Doctor, 
because of your plain statement of 
facts, and also because you had 
treated and cured my mother-in-law, 
Mrs. Mary Tucker of Grinnell, Iowa, 
several years ago. 
Thus far my experience with you 
has been satisfactory, and I am glad 
to recommend you and advise cancer 
sufferers to go to you for treatment. 
I am sure you will treat them right 
and cure them if they will give you 
a fair chance. 
If anyone writes to me, please have 
them send a self-addressed and 
stamped envelope, and I will gladly 
verify this statement. 
Yours respectfully, 
MRS. M. J. TUCKER.

To Whom It May Concern: 
I was treated for cancer on my 
nose by Dr. Johnson in November, 
1912. It began to itch and form, a 
scab or scales two or three years be- 
fore I went to him. 
I saw Dr. Johnson's name in a 
paper where he treated cancer, so I 
wrote him and described my case 
as best I could. Then I went to 
Kansas City and had him examine 
it. He said it was cancer and began 
to treat it and also my general health. 
I stayed two weeks and the cancer 
came out. I then returned home 
and treated it myself with his medi- 
cine. 
I can say I am cured of the cancer 
and it left but little scar. My gen- 
eral health is better than it has been 
for a long time. That has been 
nearly five years and no sign of it 
returning. 
I thank God that I went to Dr. 
Johnson for treatment. I was never 
treated nicer or ever given better

that evening, but the head doctor, 
being a very conscientious man, 
advised me to go to Nashville and 
go through a very dangerous opera- 
tion. I came home without hope 
of ever being cured.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
About the year 1911 there came 
a small, brown tumor on my lip. 
It rapidly assumed a cancerous 
growth. I consulted the best medi- 
cal talent here and tried several 
local remedies which did me no 
good. I then tried the X-ray treat- 
ment, but the cancer grew rapidly 
worse. I then had it treated with 
plasters, which seemed to do some 
good for awhile but soon got as bad 
as before treatment. I then had it 
treated again with plasters, but it 
did very little good. 
After the cancer had been on my 
lip about five years it began to go 
deeper in my lip and had a very 
offensive odor. I realized some- 
thing had to be quickly done or I 
would die a fearful death, so I went 
My wife, answering your adver- 
tisment, May 2, 1916, for free book 
on cancer, wrote and promptly re- 
ceived it, and after reading it tried 
to persuade me to read it, which she 
did in about two weeks. After 
reading it I became a convert to 
your theory of cancer, and after 
giving it prayerful consideration, 
wife and I started to Kansas City to 
see you. On arrival we found every 
arrangement had been made for our 
convenience. You began treatment 
at once, and notwithstanding the 
intense hot weather your treatment 
was entirely successful. My lip 
seems to be as sound as ever, with 
no sign of cancer returning. 
I will gladly answer any letters 
from anyone suffering with cancer, 
and would advise them to go to you 
without delay.

time, but came back larger than be- 
fore. I was worried so much about it 
I went to another physician, and he 
treated me for two months and then 
told me he could not cure me. Then 
someone told me to try the X-ray, 
which I did. That would help me 
temporarily. Up to this time I had 
tried seven different doctors. I 
treated with the X-ray off and on 
for about four years and was getting 
worse all the time. In 1907 I heard 
of your medical treatment, and wrote 
you. You answered promptly, send- 
ing me your book. I wrote to sev- 
eral of your former patients, sending 
them a self-addressed and stamped 
envelope. They all answered me 
and recommended you highly, saying 
that you had cured them, and they 
all said they believed that you would 
do all you agreed to do. 1 then be- 
gan your treatment and in a short 
time was cured. I asked my family 
physician what he thought of my 
cure. He said he thought Dr. John- 
son had done me a good job. 
It is now almost twelve years 
since I began your treatment, and I 
am still cured, and I think perma- 
nently. I write this freely, hoping 
someone who is troubled as I was 
may read it and decide to take your 
treatment and be cured. 
You may use this as you think 
best, and I will answer all letters 
from inquiring sufferers, willingly. 
I am, as ever,

My Dear Doctor: 
I have been thinking for some time 
of writing you and letting you know 
how I am after taking your treat- 
ment for epithelioma cancer. 
My trouble began about twenty 
years ago with a small scale appear- 
ing on my right cheek. I did not 
think much about it for some time. 
The scale would come off, but in a 
shore time would appear again larger 
than ever. I finally went to my 
family physician. He said it was 
epithelioma. He told me to let it 
alone, but it continued to get worse 
all the time. 1 would have shooting 
pains through it, and would itch 
terribly, and when the scale came off 
would leave a raw surface. I then 
went to another doctor and he said 
he could scrape it out and cure it. 
I let him. do it. That was in the 
year 1900. After the operation it 
appeared to heal over for a short

Dear Doctor: 
I willingly give my endorsement 
152  
of your treatment for cancer, and in 
so doing I hope it will be of en- 
couragement to others to go to you 
in time to get cured. 
My cancer was on the left side of 
my lower lip and was about the size 
of a 25c piece. It had not been 
growing many months, so was not 
very hard to cure. I started treat- 
ment the forenoon of April 8, 1915, 
and was dismissed as cured the 1st of 
May. 
Since I was treated I have been in 
Dr. Johnson's office four different 
times, and each time my lip was 
pronounced in excellent condition. 
I invariably found the doctors and 
nurses busy with many patients 
and it was evident they were doing 
much good for those who were for- 
tunate enough to go for treatment 
in time. 
I was 60 years old at the time of 
my treatment. I went through the 
treatment nicely and experienced no 
serious discomfort. Others can be 
just as fortunate as 1 was if they 
don't wait too long before going to 
see Dr. Johnson. 
I will be glad to verify this state- 
ment in a personal letter to anyone 
if he will send an addressed and 
stamped envelope. 
If you have cancer I hope you will 
go to Dr. Johnson just as soon as 
you can.

My Dear Sir: 
Seven years ago last winter I went 
to your hospital in Kansas City for 
treatment of a cancerous growth of 
about one year's standing on my face 
just below my right eye. I am 
pleased to say that your treatment 
was not only mild, but entirely suc- 
cessful. I had feared that it might 
possibly leave even as much as a 
scar on my face, but am very glad to 
say that no trace of one can be seen. 
I take pleasure in recommending 
your treatment to any and all who 
may be afflicted with cancer of any 
kind, for in my case it has effected a 
perfect and a permanent cure.

Dear Doctor: 
After suffering four years with a 
cancer in my left breast I came to 
you for treatment. It was July 9, 
1915, that I first called on you. 
The cancer had grown quite large; 
it was at least three inches in diam- 
eter and there was a sore in the 
center as large as a silver dollar. 
The sore was discharging a dis- 
agreeable odor, and I experienced 
a dull, aching, burning pain. 
It required about ten days to 
destroy the cancer mass, and when 
it came out it left a clean, healthy 
sore which gradually healed, leaving 
a smooth scar which has given me 
no further trouble. 
I am so thankful for the cure you 
gave me, and so anxious that all 
cancer sufferers be as greatly bene- 
fited as I was, I am more than willing 
to give you this recommendation. 
I would like to hear from, every 
woman with cancer of the breast 
who reads this so I can write them 
a personal letter and urge them, to 
go to you where they can be cured. 
While undergoing my treatment 
I had the pleasure of meeting many 
cancer patients from all parts of the 
United States, and I found most of 
them had come to you on the ad- 
vice of someone you had cured in 
years past, or through the advice of 
relatives or friends of those you had 
cured. I was pleased to know this as 
it showed you must be a great bene- 
factor of mankind or there wouldn't 
be so many people recommending 
you. 
For those who may fear your 
treatment is a terrible ordeal to go 
through, I will say that I was 62

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Sir: 
Were it not that I had the most 
perfect confidence in you, this letter 
never would be written. 
Since I first met you my mind has 
been occupied with thoughts of the 
fair and square treatment you ac- 
corded me during my stay in Kansas 
City. 
As my mother's mouth is per- 
manently cured, she cannot thank 
you enough for it. The cancer 
started in the lower lip of her mouth 
about a year before she took any 
treatment. After the affected part 
got worse all the time people began 
to talk about it so, finally, I met 
Rev. R. Solenwerk and he advised 
mother to try the doctors of Hays 
City. She was afraid to trust them, 
so postponed treatment until June, 
1916, when Dr. Colglazier of Rush 
Center, Kansas, took her to Dr. O. 
A. Johnson of Kansas City, Mo., who 
treated her and cured her in first- 
class condition. 
The cancer didn't leave a scar 
worth mentioning. It is a year ago 
since mother was treated. We never 
believed anything like that could be 
treated without a knife or without 
pain, but it is so. Dr. O. A. John- 
son, of Kansas City, Missouri, can 
do it; he certainly can for he has 
proved it to us, and we thank him 
for curing that ugly sore, and will 
as long as we live. 
I know that words are powerless to 
soothe physical pain, but I cannot 
refrain from expressing my sincere 
sympathy to all afflicted. If I can 
be of any service to anybody that is

My Dear Doctor: 
I feel it my duty to write you 
again to tell you how well I am, and 
to let those to whom, it would be of 
interest know what you did for me. 
In the spring of 1905 I discovered 
a hard lump in each of my breasts. 
The lumps were then about the size 
of hulled walnuts. They became 
painful and were growing larger all 
the time. My health failed and I 
was compelled to give up my business 
(millinery). I consulted my family 
doctor, and he thought they were 
cancers. I consulted a specialist 
who said the same, and advised an 
operation. 
A friend told me of Dr. Johnson. 
I went to see him and got treatment 
from him which I used at home for 
awhile, and later on returned to his 
office. In March, 1906, I was pro- 
nounced cured, and was cured with- 
out either place becoming an open 
sore, and up to this writing I have 
had no further trouble. Am doing 
all my house work including washing 
and ironing. 
Let me say this to all suffering 
from cancer: You will be pleased 
with Dr. Johnson's treatment. I 
have found him to be truthful with 
me, and with all patients I have 
sent to him.

It was April 18, 1916, I went to
