INTRODUCTION 
^^^JE HAVE but one object in view in publishing CANCER TRUTHS, 
1 vA^ 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 js 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 CANCERj TRUTHS 
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.' 
Some^Uues 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 CANCER^ TRUTMS 
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.

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 fourteen years, leads to the following fundamental con- 
clusions : 
1. Human Cancer is a chronic alkaline auto-intoxication. 
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 nowhere 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 to 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 vessels 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 is 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 I 9 TRUTHS 
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 CANCER^ TRUTHS 
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 TRXJTHS 
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, inaccessible 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 procure. 
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. In a stronger 
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.

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.

Cancer patient in which all the red 
corpuscles have become weakened

called the resistance minima or 
least resistance. It is quite com- 
monly found in advanced or bad 
cases of Cancer,

patient was well and ready to re-

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 off-ending 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 I CJVNCKRj TKUTHLS 
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. T he 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 this 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 body 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. 
41  
A Fallacy to Avoid 
It is not an uncommon occurrence that a person annoyed with a re- 
fractory sore or growth will seek advice in the early stage of the trouble 
and is told to "let it alone; don't bother it till it bothers you." The num- 
ber of lives needlessly sacrificed because the individual followed the foolish 
advice to "let it alone," we do not presume to say, because reliable statistics 
are not obtainable. Judging by the many letters we receive from Cancer 
patients who tell us they have decided not to be treated, or at least to defer 
treatment, and the letters which later come from those who are in the last 
throes of the disease because they "let it alone," the number of deaths 
must be very great. 
The patient himself, not being aware of the grave danger ahead, is not 
always to be blamed for putting off treatment, yet a great many times he 
may mistrust that to "let it alone" is not just the right thing to do, but 
still neglects to seek competent advice. 
Many patients come to us suffering with Cancer in a fearfully advanced 
stage who say they sought medical counsel when their trouble first appeared, 
but were told the little sore or lump did not amount to anything and 
to let it alone, not to bother it until it bothered them. Others say they 
were given a little salve or lotion and told to return in a week or a month. 
Much valuable time is fooled away in that manner until, finally, the Cancer 
has reached such serious proportions the patient is rushed off to the hospital 
for a surgical operation. If the operation is successful and the patient re- 
covers from the Cancer he can consider himself most fortunate indeed, as 
the usual sequence at this stage is a return of the cancer. If it does return, 
the patient awakens to the full realization that his life is in danger and, even 
though the Cancer has now advanced to a hopelessly incurable stage, he 
may call upon a Cancer specialist and expect the doctor to perform a miracle 
-in other words, to cure him of an incurable condition, a disease that, no 
doubt, could have been easily cured had he received sensible advice and 
efficient treatment at the proper time. 
Not all post-operative recurrent cases of Cancer are incurable, but 
they usually yield more stubbornly, and each succeeding recurrence lessens 
the patient's chance of recovery by medical measures. 
Any woman who has a small growth in the breast, or any man who 
has a sore on the lip, nose, face or other exposed surface that refuses to 
heal within a reasonable length of time under the simple remedies ordinarily 
used, should employ expert medical advice, for more often than otherwise 
such conditions are the beginning of a serious and dangerous case of Cancer, 
and to "let it alone" means almost certain death. 
Bear this in mind: Any growth or lump in the breast, an induration 
or fissure in the lip or sore on the face or hand should be treated promptly 
and not let alone to develop into a frightful, wolfish, life-destroying Cancer. 
Timely treatment of the right kind will not only save you much suffering, 
but will save your life. 
Many a poor mortal has followed the foolish advice to let his Cancer 
alone, to not bother it until it has bothered him, until the disease has so 
fastened itself upon the victim that nothing can be done to save his life. 
The once common belief that Cancer is incurable, will be made to grow 
faster if treated and should be let alone as long as the pain can be endured, 
are fallacies that are being rapidly dispelled. You should not entertain 
42  
such false thoughts or fears. Efficacious treatment will cure you, so by all 
means procure it at once and get rid of your Cancer before it gets rid of you. 
The Danger of Delay 
All physicians who have given any study to Cancer are agreed that 
early treatment is imperative but, unfortunately, they do not all agree 
on the method or mode of treatment. This is probably due to the fact 
that there is no known infallible cure for Cancer in all its stages of develop- 
ment. Because of the very nature of the disease, the various changes it 
undergoes as it progresses and the widely different physical complications 
resulting in different individuals, there can be no one standard or fixed 
treatment. Therefore, a combination medical treatment such as ours 
that can be varied to suit each individual case is the most logical. 
It is admitted that there are some cases of Cancer that inevitably 
prove fatal dejspite the most heroic efforts to cure, even when treated early. 
Such cases are few, however, as compared with the great number of persons 
who suffer with this malady. It is a lamentable fact that thousands of Can- 
cer patients succumb to the disease because of no other reason than self- 
neglect. They are indifferent to their affliction in its early stage, evert 
against the most reliable medical advice, and persist in deferring proper 
treatment until past all hope of cure. 
The percentage of rejected cases, that is, cases applying to us too late, 
in our judgment, for successful treatment is approximately one out of 
every eight. This high percentage of Cancer cases reaching an incurable 
condition is avoidable and wholly unnecessary. To us there is but one 
explanation-delay and waste of time with ineffective treatment. 
It is a very sad duty to tell a Cancer patient he has come to us too 
late-that we can do nothing for him.- To such patients we must, of course, 
refuse treatment, the only exception being where the afflicted one insists 
that we take his case and try to at least alleviate his suffering and make his 
few remaining days tolerable to the greatest possible degree. Every un- 
fortunate Cancer sufferer is entitled to, and must have, medical attention, 
and it would be inhuman on our part should we deny him our services when 
there are no facilities at home for such care and attention as he may require. 
We venture to say that by far the majority of cases we have rejected 
as incurable could have been cured had they not delayed or could have had 
proper treatment at the right time. Right today there are hundreds, yes 
thousands, of patients in the incipient or early stage of Cancer who will, no 
doubt, regardless of all timely warning, neglect their trouble or fool away 
so much valuable time with ineffective treatment that their disease will 
reach an incurable condition. If you have Cancer in its early stage don't 
wait to see how bad it will get or until the pain becomes so intense that you 
are compelled to seek relief. Unfortunately, there are no means by which 
it can be determined how soon the turning point from curable to incurable 
will arrive. Have your Cancer attended to at once, and if treated right 
in the first place you will not only save yourself much suffering and un- 
necessary expense, but your chances for recovery will be many fold greater 
than later on. 
There are also hundreds of afflicted men and women who think they 
are already beyond the possibility of relief. They have arrived at this 
opinion themselves, or some friend may have passed his opinion to that 
effect. One should not be satisfied with nor accept as final the opinion of 
43  
his friends or a doctor with limited Cancer experience who says recovery 
is impossible. He is honest in his opinion, but another doctor who is a 
specialist of wide experience and treats scores of cases annually might take 
an entirely different view of the case. Certainly his judgment should be 
more reliable. And also is he not more capable of treating Cancer to a 
successful issue than the one of less experience with cases of this character? 
We separate into three classes all cases of Cancer applying to us. In 
the first class is numbered those cases which we believe are curable beyond 
a doubt; in the second class, doubtful cases, and in the third class are 
listed those cases which are considered hopelessly incurable. When you 
apply to us for treatment you will be advised immediately following ex- 
amination whether your case is classed as curable, doubtful or hopeless. 
The length of time your Cancer has been developing has nothing what- 
ever to do with the classification; it all depends upon the stage of advance- 
ment, extent of constitutional invasion, condition of general health, etc. 
Cases listed in the first class are those in which we are most certain of suc- 
cessful results. In the second class are listed those cases which we believe 
to be curable, but yet a measure of doubt; that is, we are not positive 
a cure can be effected. The third class comprises all cases that we know 
we cannot cure, and it is this class of patients that we do not accept for 
treatment except as before mentioned. 
Do not delay coming to us until your Cancer is so far advanced that it 
must be listed in the third class. We realize, of course, that some of our 
afflicted readers will learn of our treatment too late, but there are thousands 
of others with advanced cases that can be saved if they will come under 
treatment promptly. If you fear that your Cancer has already passed the 
curable stage, write us a description of present conditions and we will gladly 
give you our opinion and tell you whether we believe it will be worth while 
for you to visit us. The most satisfactory way, however, will be for you 
to visit us personally, and after examination we can tell you exactly what 
your prospects are for recovery. 
We hope you will see the danger of delay and that the truths and scien- 
tific facts about Cancer as presented in every page of this book will be con- 
clusive proof that there is help for you. There is no evidence lacking; the 
only question of recovery by medical treatment (non-surgical) in any 
accessible and curable case of Cancer is merely a matter of the patient 
coming under treatment in time. 
Your Clothing Requisites 
Sometimes patients who are arranging to come for treatment will write 
to ask if any special outfit of clothing should be brought. To those in 
doubt, we wish to say that it is not necessary to bring a large amount of 
clothing, nor any special kind. As a general thing, patients are not required 
to be away from home longer than three to six weeks, and this can be a 
guide as to the amount of clothing you should bring. 
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 
effect 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.

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 
85 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-

I will be only too glad to answer all 
questions they may choose to ask 
me.

sincere prayer.

My Dear Doctor: 
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. 
Johnson's cures are permanent and I 
know three others he has cured, be- 
sides myself, who will certify to the 
same. 
Yours as ever, 
MRS. M. P. BURKE. 
I went June 23, 1916, and came 
home August 2d entirely cured, it 
being nearly three years and shows no 
sign of breaking out. I have im- 
proved in health and strength. I 
feel that I cannot say too much in 
praise for Dr. Johnson and his kind 
nurses. 
Would be pleased to answer any 
letters of inquiry in regard to the 
treatment.

Dear Doctor: 
I had a cancer on my right ear for 
three years. I went to Dr. Johnson 
for treatment on June 28, 1917. He 
had little difficulty in curing me, 
although my case was a rather bad 
one. 
I am very glad, of course, to say 
that I am cured, and I can recom- 
mend Dr. Johnson's treatment to all 
afflicted because I know that it is a 
and that is, it ought to be treated 
without delay. Delay is dangerous, 
so go at once while you can be cured.

Dear Doctor: 
I feel it my duty as well as a pleas- 
ure to inform you that my awful 
cancer is gone, and not even a bad 
scar is left. My left hand is as 
stout as the right one, although the 
cancer was on the back of it for five 
years before I went to you to have it 
cured, which was the 9th of January, 
1918. I was only at Dr. Johnson's 
three weeks when the cancer came 
out. , 
I can most heartily recommend 
Dr. Johnson, and his kind doctors 
and nurses, too. Anyone who is 
afflicted with cancer should lose no 
time in- getting their case in Dr. 
Johnson's care, as he can sure cure 
cancers.

Will Merit Your Confidence 
Route 1, Oakley, Kansas., 
February 2, 1919. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo, 
Dear Doctor: 
If my endorsement of your ex- 
cellent treatment for cancer will add 
anything to the mass of evidence 
you already have of your ability to 
cure the disease, I am only too glad 
to give it. And it is given with the 
same eagerness and spirit that others 
of your patients have expressed, 
namely, that of bringing hope to 
some discouraged cancer sufferer. 
For the benefit of those afflicted 
I will say that I had a cancer just 
below my right eye against the side 
of my nose. It had been on me a 
little less than a year, and as it was 
of rather slow growth it was not 
much larger than a silver dime when 
I had it treated. I went under 
treatment February 13, 1917, and 
was discharged as cured just two 
weeks later. 
I have never observed the slightest 
indication of further trouble, there- 
fore I am convinced my cure is per- 
manent. The scar where the cancer 
was removed is so very slight that it 
cannot be noticed, or at any rate one 
would have to look very close to 
find it. 
Aside from my treatment with Dr. 
Johnson, I have had other business 
dealings with him and have always 
found him a man of his word. All 
of his patients, I believe, will agree 
with me that anyone can depend on 
what Dr. Johnson tells him, pro- 
fessionally or in a business way. 
In view of the foregoing my un- 
qualified recommendation is given. 
1 feel sure that Dr. Johnson will 
never, in word or act, abuse the con- 
fidence I have placed in him. 
Yours very truly, 
A. L. MILLER.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I am glad to add my testimonial 
to the many you have received re- 
garding the efficiency of your treat- 
ment for cancer. 
It has now been ten and a half 
years since you dismissed me as 
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. 
Yours truly, 
MISS ANNA GOOD.

Lamar, Colo., Feb. 20, 1919. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I am more than glsd to tell those 
suffering with that dread disease, 
cancer, what your wonderful treat- 
ment did for me. You cured me of 
cancer of the right breast which had 
made its appearance some three or 
four years previous to my going to 
you for treatment. 
In December, 1917, I consulted 
three of the best doctors in the 
Arkansas Valley. They all advised 
me to be operated on, but I had 
known too many cases where the 
knife had caused the patient to pass 
away sooner than they would have 
had they not been operated on. 
Hearing of your treatment, I de- 
cided to go to Kansas City, and will 
always be thankful I went. I can 
say that I am enjoying better health

A Most Convincing Letter. 
King, Nebr., Feb. 25, 1919. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I am writing you at this late date 
to report that I am still getting along 
fine; also sending you a photograph 
taken this month so you can see 
my nose is all right yet, and I feel 
sure it is cured to stay cured. 
I have always recommended you 
and your treatment, for mine was a 
stubborn case and I was with you 
long enough to see several patients 
have been cured if he had come to 
you sooner, and he said: "There is 
no doubt about it. When I came 
here and saw what they were doing 
for others I am sure I could be a 
well man." 
And there was another man that 
had brought his wife from Georgia 
that had been doctoring a long time 
without any relief. I incidentally 
asked him the same question that I 
had asked the other man, and was 
surprised with an answer in the same 
words: "When we came here and 
saw what they are doing for other 
people 1 know my wife could be a 
well woman if we had come sooner. 
Such evidence coming from people 
that have been the rounds of all the 
best high-priced places for treatment 
makes me feel sure anyone 1 can in- 
fluence to go to you will receive the 
best treatment there is. I know of 
several who are now in their graves 
that I am sure I could have saved 
their lives by directing them to you 
had I only known of you sooner. I 
am writing this letter hoping that 
you may be able to use it to convince 
somebody afflicted that there is a 
cure for cancer, as I have talked with 
people that think there is no cure, 
and will say: "Let it alone, if you 
doctor it, it will get worse," when in 
reality the impression 1 got from my 
own treatment and what I saw 
among other patients is that cancer 
is not a serious thing if rightly treated 
in time. I think anybody that 
comes to you and your able and 
painstaking force of assistants will 
soon get the same idea, fl hat is one 
thing that I often noticed at your 
institution-how soon newcomers 
seem to change, how they take on 
new hope, new life and confidence. 
I wish I could help all cancer 
sufferers to know of you and your 
great treatment. 
Sincerely and truly yours, 
WILLIAM O'TOOLE. 
come and go. It was what 1 saw 
and heard among them that gives 
me so much confidence in your sys-

I remember one man from Ken- 
tucky 83 years old with a cancer on 
his lip. He told me he had been 
doctoring it for a long time, had paid 
$1,000.00 for one operation, $600.00 
for X-ray treatment and had been 
treated- by several other quacks (as 
he called them), and was afraid he 
had come to Kansas City too late.

Dear Doctor: 
With great pleasure I send my tes- 
timonial to you. 
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. I 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 six 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. 
Anyone wishing information, write

health was much impaired. When we 
learned of Dr. Johnson my friends 
urged me to see him at once. I was 
under his treatment three weeks, 
and returned home cured. It has 
been over 19 years, and no sign of 
the cancer returning. Dr. Johnson 
looked after my general health also. 
To anyone afflicted I say, go to 
Dr. Johnson at once. Do not delay 
one day. 
I will answer each and every letter 
from anyone who is afflicted.

town and he pronounced it cancer 
and advised Radium. He said if 
Radium failed the next and only 
hope of a cure would be to remove 
the entire breast with the knife. 
That did not appeal to me, as 1 had 
seen the Radium and the operation 
fail in so many cases. 
I had read your book, "Cancer 
Truths," and also your quarterly 
publication. From the testimonials 
in the books 1 felt that your treat- 
ment would effect a cure in my case, 
as it had in so many cases exactly 
like it. Also I knew that Mrs. J. 
B. Crawford of Detroit, Michigan, 
a cousin of my husband, was cured 
of cancer of the breast at your in- 
stitution four years ago, and is en- 
joying the best of health today. 
Convinced of the good work that 
your institution was doing, I came 
to Kansas City January 4, 1918, and 
after a thorough examination by 
Dr. Johnson, who pronounced it a 
scirrhus cancer, I commenced treat- 
ment at once. 
While taking treatment I saw 
cured patients leaving for home 
every day or so. This fully con- 
vinced me of the good work being 
done by Dr. Johnson and his corps 
of assistants. My cancer was re- 
moved on February 21, 1918. I 
left Kansas City on March 22, and 
the wound where the cancer was re- 
moved was almost entirely healed. 
I had only been at home ten days 
when it was entirely healed. My 
breast has not given me any trouble 
since, and I am enjoying better 
health than I have had for several 
years. 
I would advise anyone who sus- 
pects they have a cancer to go at 
once to Dr. Johnson. You will 
find the Doctor, his assistants and 
the nurses to be a kind and sym- 
pathetic corps, all working to cure 
the most dreaded disease called 
cancer. Also vou will find everv-

Dear Doctor: 
I am more than pleased to have an 
opportunity to tell those people that 
are suffering with cancer of your 
treatment. 
In regard to my case, I will say 
that a small lump appeared in my 
right breast in 1910. At first it was 
very small and did not pain me very 
much. It would pain me for a few 
days, and then the pain would cease 
for several days only to return again. 
The lump gradually grew larger and 
the pain more severe and pained me 
nearly all the time. 
I went to our family doctor, who 
pronounced it a tumor and advised 
an operation. I took treatment of 
two doctors with no permanent re- 
sults. There finally appeared on 
the surface of the skin immediately 
over the lump a purple spot. 
In December, 1917, I went to 
another physician in a neighboring 
64  
thing just as represented in his publi- 
cations. 
I will answer any letters of in- 
quiry regarding my case and Dr. 
Johnson's treatment. My advice 
is, do not delay, as there is danger in 
delay. 
Long may Dr. Johnson and his 
assistants live and enjoy good health 
that they may continue their great 
work, is my sincere wish. 
Yours sincerely,

scar, and that doesn't bother me. I

for I had been treated by some of the 
best doctors in Texas and I had 
grown steadily worse under their 
treatment. I was suffering a great 
deal of pain. Two weeks after you 
begun to treat me I began to grow 
better, and in three months felt that 
I was entirely cured. 
The day I went to you was the 
best day's work of my life. I have 
felt so well over it that I have again 
been re-elected to the Legislature 
and expect to serve again next term. 
In fact, I am attending to all of my 
business as if nothing had ever been 
the matter with me. 
My friend who had cancer, and 
who I was anxious to have go to you 
for treatment, continued putting off 
going anywhere until about four 
months ago he went to a cancer in- 
stitute near Kansas City. His body 
was brought home yesterday, and I 
will act as one of his pallbearers 
tomorrow. I always felt if he would 
have let you treat him he would have 
been cured. I feel that you have the 
best institution of its kind in America.

many kindnesses I have not for-

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, I 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 ten 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.

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 I 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 Friend and Doctor: 
After twelve 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

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 six years ago. 
My advice is, if you have anything 
of that nature, don't hesitate to con-

better.

Dear Doctor: 
I read of your treatment for can-

it. As I was not able to go to Kan- 
sas City, you came here to examine 
me. You gave me one treatment, 
then left medicine and directed my 
physician, Dr. Brewster, how to use 
it and what and how to do. It was 
a successful treatment. 
I was treated in November, 1916, 
and there is no sign of any return of

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. 
I am now past 71 years old and in 
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 ou,r 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

To Whom It May Concern: 
This is to certify that Dr. O. A. 
Johnson of Kansas City, Mo., cured 
three sores, one on my face and two 
on my hands, that I could not cure 
otherwise. They are all well and 
sound today, and have been for sev- 
eral years. 
I recommend his treatment to any- 
one who has malignant sores. 
Respectfully, 
W. R SMILEY.

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: 
Seven years ago next Janaury, the

treated for cancer on my forehead. 
I was advised to go to Dr. O. A. 
Johnson by a neighbor who was 
cured there. 
Two of My Neighbors Were Cured 
By Dr. Johnson. 
Runnells, Iowa, Jan. 19, 1919. 
To Whom It May Concern: 
Will say I had cancer on the lower 
lip for four years. I consulted sev- 
eral doctors and all said to cut it 
out. Two of my neighbors had had 
a cancer similar to mine; one cured 
twelve years ago and the other one 
seven years ago by Dr. Johnson. 
They told me to go to Dr. Johnson, 
and I did. I went there May 29, 
1912, and in six weeks I was home, 
cured. 
I cannot say too much for Dr. 
Johnson, and he has a fine lot of 
nurses and helpers who showed me 
every kindness. 
Yours truly, 
SAMUEL FREEL. 
I am so thankful I went to Dr. 
Johnson. I was there only six 
weeks and was cured. I am sound 
and well today and feel no symptoms 
of the cancer coming back. 
I advise everyone who has cancer 
to go to Dr. O. A. Johnson and be 
cured. I cannot praise Dr. Johnson 
too much for the great work he is 
doing. 
I am willing to answer any letters 
from any man or woman who wants 
advice about this great cancer doc- 
tor.

Dear Doctor: 
Here is hoping I may prove a true 
representative of your good work in 
removing and curing that deadly 
disease, cancer, from my face two 
years ago the 27th of next month. I 
can never fully thank you and your 
fine and lovely nurses. If I only 
had known I would have tried to 
thank you in advance. 
I am a well man today, and I want 
to receive your paper regularly, so I 
can keep posted on your work and 
read of others being cured.

I did. I might just as well have 
been cured long before I was and 
saved myself worry and anxiety. 
I gladly testify to the value of 
your cancer treatment. My earnest 
advice to anyone with cancer is to go 
to you early. They who hesitate 
are prolonging their suffering and 
making it more difficult and more 
expensive to be cured. 
I will recommend your treatment 
whenever I can, and will try to 
answer any letters written to me to 
verify this statement of my cure. 
With best wishes to you, Doctor, 
and the good nurses that took care 
of me, I am,

Dear Doctor: 
It has been over a year since I 
took treatment at your office for the 
cancer under my right eye. I am 
very proud to say that I feel con- 
fident the treatment I received is 
very successful, as up to the present 
time there are no symptoms what- 
ever of anything but a permanent 
cure. There is no soreness in my 
face at any time that would cause 
me to think anything but that it 
was a successful treatment and a 
permanent cure; therefore, I feel 
that a statement from me is justly 
due you, and hope that I may be of 
some service in advising others who 
may be afflicted with cancer to con- 
sult with you before taking other 
treatment. 
Thanking you again, I am,

Dear Doctor: 
Please excuse me for not writing 
you sooner. My intentions were 
good, but I neglected it for one rea- 
son or another. 
I am glad to say that I think I 
have a perfect cure of the cancer 
on my face, as there is no sign of it 
returning. It healed up nicely and 
left but very little scar. 1 hope, 
and believe, it is a permanent cure. 
I am 79 years old. The cancer on 
my face had been coming three years. 
I arrived at your place ready for 
treatment February 14, 1918, and 
returned home March 15, 1918. I 
consider I was very fortunate in get- 
ting cured so nicely and in such 
short time. I have no regrets ex- 
cept that I did not hear of you before

will treat you right.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor Johnson: 
As I am still enjoying such good 
health after being cured of cancer 
by you, I thought I would write to 
you again in regard to the circum- 
stances of my case. 
You will probably remember that 
when I first wrote you fourteen 
years ago this fall, I had the right 
breast removed at the hospital here 
on account of cancer; a lump on 
the breast which I first noticed 
some months before. The operation 
seemed successful, but six months 
after the operation I found a lump 
on my neck which the doctors said 
was cancer and I had it removed. 
Two weeks later another one ap- 
peared on the neck and I began to 
realize that I could look for no cure 
by means of operations, although 
I had had the best doctors in the 
hospital here. It was then that I 
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 twelve years. I am, at any 
time, ready to heartily recommend 
your treatment to any one suffering 
with this disease. 
Very truly yours, 
MRS. L. M. GRAUPNER.

The Retrospection of Those Years 
Brings to Me Only One Re-

Your Treatment One Year 
Earlier.

under treatment, I am,

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 ten 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 
I 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.

Dr. O. A. Johnson,

My Dear Friend: 
It is more than five years 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,

did not bother me much, but at 
times would itch very much. 
For about two months before I 
came to you it started bleeding, so 
I thought it time to have something 
done. 
I took treatment from you for five 
weeks. The sore was not quite 
healed when I left Kansas City, but 
it healed all right. It is sound and 
well and I think it is cured to stay 
cured. 
I can recommend your treatment 
to anyone needing it. 
While I was with you I could not 
wish for better treatment from you 
and your corps of assistants. 
I wish you every success in your

Dr. O. A. Johnson,

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 thirteen 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.

MRS. J. W. HIGGINS.

a privilege to give my testimonial. 
I came to you for treatment the 
17th day of October, 1913; was un- 
der your treatment until January 
19, 1914. I came home cured and 
have enjoyed good health ever since. 
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,

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 
19 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.

twice in this time he called it cured

cured. It would break out again. 
This treatment is nothing but a burn 
away. I left him with $200.00 less 
money and the cancer a great deal 
worse than it was when he com- 
menced. 
Eleven 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.

Dear Doctor: 
It was two years the 6th of last 
December that I came to you for ex- 
amination for a trouble on my limb 
which had been pronounced cancer 
by some, and a tumor by others. 
When you examined it you told me 
you could cure me. I commenced 
treatment at once and I was under 
your care six weeks. When I came 
home the tumor or cancer was re- 
moved and the place almost healed, 
which was over three inches in every 
way. It healed nicely and has never 
given me any trouble. There are 
no symptoms of any return, and I 
feel so thankful and give Dr. John- 
son and the nurses all the praise. I 
think anyone having any trouble 
like cancer or tumor should not wait 
but should go to Dr. Johnson at once. 
I sure feel thankful that I went to 
him. I cannot praise him enough. 
Now, Doctor, you are at liberty 
to use this statement if you like.

soon came back worse than ever. 
I would most heartily recommend

cancer, for I know he can cure; if not 
he will tell you so and not take your

Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I am glad to have an opportunity 
to add my testimonial to the many 
others I know you received in regard 
to your treatment and wonderful 
success in the cure of cancer, for the 
benefit of those afflicted as I was, or 
with any kind of cancer. They can 
make no mistake in consulting Dr. 
Johnson. 
It is four years April 22, 1919, 
since I was treated for a cancer on 
my hand, which Dr. Johnson cured 
for me. I have had no signs of 
cancer since. 
I am 76 years old and in the best 
of health. I cannot praise Dr. 
Johnson too much for what he did 
for me and the interest he takes in all 
his patients; courteous to all and 
very successful with his treatment. 
May God give you health that you 
may continue this good work. 
Yours sincerely, 
E. J. DYRLAND. 
cer on my left breast twelve years ago 
last month. 
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 
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. 
I 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

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
It has been a long time since I 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- 
82  
week, when you sent a change or 
addition to the treatment; and two 
weeks from that time I called on 
you. 
Up to the present time, which is 
twelve and a half years ago, I have 
not had an hour's uneasiness or trou- 
ble. 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. 
I 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 I 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 
I 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, I beg to remain, 
Sincerely yours, 
COL. J. R. RATEKIN. 
had been there for years and you 
removed it in a few minutes. It is 
perfectly well and only left a very 
small white line. It is four years 
next June since you treated me. 
I also want to tell you, and all that 
have cancer, that my mother, Mrs. 
M. E. Johnson, had a cancer re- 
moved three years ago and it is well 
and never gives her any trouble. 
She is 81 years old. 
I would advise anyone that has 
cancer, or anything in that line, to 
go to Dr. Johnson, for I am quite 
sure that my mother would have 
been in her grave before this if she 
had not had the cancer removed 
from her nose. 
I am, very sincerely yours, 
MRS. M. E. BAKER. 
Free From That Constant Dread 
of Cancer.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I received your letter in due time. 
I am glad to say that the cancer on 
my lip was cured before I left your 
institution, and is still cured, with no 
indications of its returning, and I am 
free from that constant dread of 
knowing I had a cancer. My health 
is good, and I will always feel grateful 
for the kind treatment I received 
while under your treatment and 
will always feel grateful to the kind 
nurses. It was October 3, 1916, that 
I came to you for treatment. 
You have my consent to publish 
my letter, and I will gladly answer 
anyone that wants to inquire of me 
in regard to your treatment and my 
cure. 
With best wishes to all in your in- 
stitution, I am, 
Yours truly,

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
In answer to your request for a 
letter from me, regarding the treat- 
ment and cure of my cancer, will say 
I became ill in March, 1914, with 
cancer of the left breast. I took 
X-ray treatment several weeks from 
the best doctor of the city, without 
getting any benefit. I was ex- 
amined by a noted specialist of 
Chicago who advised an operation, 
frankly telling me I would lose the 
use of my arm entirely, and my life 
would end in a few months at most, 
but being the mother of three 
children, the youngest ten, I de- 
cided to go through the ordeal for 
their sake. While preparing to re- 
turn to Chicago, a friend sent me 
one of your books on the origin and 
treatment of cancer. I sat down 
and read it through and there and 
then fully decided to go to Kansas 
City instead of Chicago. I arrived 
in December and began treatment at 
once. I was then in such poor 
health I could scarcely get to your 
office. Remaining under your care 
till February, 1915, returning home 
a new woman in body and spirit, my 
cancer entirely cured and health 
greatly improved. Am able to care 
for my home and family, one of the 
greatest blessings of life. 
Will gladly answer anyone in- 
quiring regarding my case and the 
efficient treatment you gave me. 
Respectfully, 
MRS. J. B. CRAWFORD. 
suffered mental anxiety, for I 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 twelve years 
ago. I have had no return of the 
disease. 
I hope all who are suffering with 
cancer will give Dr. Johnson a trial,

What Would You Have Done? 
I ever had a cancer except for the 
little scar. 
I received your paper, Doctor, 
and enjoyed reading it, because I 
know that others also have been 
cured. I thank you for remembering 
me, and wish you much success in 
still helping others; also I will 
answer anyone who wishes word 
from me direct.

Route 2, Belgrade, Mont. 
February 15, 1919. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
To whom this may be of interest I 
will say that it will be four years April 
since I had a cancer removed from 
my left cheek by Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
which left a hole large enough to 
bury a fifty cent piece, but has 
healed over so it left just a small scar. 
I first had my cancer treated by a 
doctor in Belgrade, who wanted to 
cut it out. I would not submit to 
this, so he said he could kill it by 
burning it with the X-ray. He 
burnt it five times, which seemed to 
enlarge it. He then examined it 
and pronounced it entirely killed, 
but I still had the itching sensation 
and I would keep rubbing it. When 
this doctor heard I was going to Dr. 
Johnson of Kansas City, he drove 
out to my place in his auto and tried 
to stop me from going. He said: 
"You'll be faked-this man is a 
fake." I said, I'm going on the 
morning train. 
When I came back the doctor 
again drove out to see me. I showed 
him the photo of my face that Dr. 
Johnson had taken of the cancer, and 
he said: "It's not all cancer that he 
takes out, and in a year from now 
we ll see what your face will look 
like." I said, it so happens, doctor, 
that you yourself pronounced it a 
cancer in my face and treated it as 
such, and if another one like it comes 
on the other side of my face, I'll take 
the train tomorrow back to this same 
fake. He' then said he was busy 
and had to get back to town. 
I have and shall continue to direct 
all cancer patients to Dr. O. A. 
Johnson for a safe and sure cure and 
kind treatment. I would not know

Dear Doctor: 
I am glad to say I am entirely 
cured of the trouble on my face, and 
would be glad to recommend anyone 
with a cancer to you. I am 73 
years old and feel greatly benefited 
by your treatment in every way. 
Would be glad to speak a good word 
for you.

every hospitality and receive what 
is undoubtedly the best cancer 
treatment known. From my ob- 
servation while I was at your insti- 
tution it was plainly evident that the 
cure of cancer is merely a matter of 
the patient going under your treat- 
ment in time. If all patients could 
realize this and, of course, know of 
your treatment, there would not be 
nearly so much suffering from this 
frightful disease. 
I did not know of your treatment 
until one of your former patients 
told me. Through his good and 
timely advice I was cured, and I 
sincerely hope all who read this will 
take counsel as I did. 
If anyone wishes to verify this 
statement it will gladly be verified 
personally by myself and neighbors 
who know of my former affliction and 
cure. Or, if you can't call to see me 
personally, I will be glad to answer 
any letters if an addressed and 
stamped envelope is sent. 
With best wishes for your success, 
Doctor, and also wishing your pa- 
tients the blessings of relief from pain 
and complete cure, I am, 
Yours very truly,

Dear Doctor: 
About three years ago a little sore 
appeared on the back of my right 
hand. By December, 1917, it was 
the size of a half dollar. 
By a friend who had been cured 
of cancer by Dr. Johnson I was ad- 
vised to take his treatment, so on 
December 3, 1917, I began his treat- 
ment and in five weeks went home 
cured and there is no sign of its re- 
turn. 
I have nothing but good words to 
say of Dr. Johnson and his able 
staff of helpers, and feel it a privi- 
lege to recommend him to all cancer 
sufferers. 
I am 83 years old and enjoying 
good health. 
Yours truly, 
JAMES JONES.

Dear Doctor: 
I am very happy to give you my 
endorsement of your cancer treat- 
ment. 
I had a cancer of considerable size 
on my forehead which had been 
slowly increasing for two years, and 
on August 28, 1917, I applied to you 
for treatment. After six weeks' 
treatment you dismissed me as cured. 
I am satisfied now that I have re- 
ceived a permanent cure and, con- 
sequently, I can recommend your 
treatment to others. My earnest 
advice to anyone afflicted is to go to 
you at once. They will be extended

Dear Doctor: 
The treatment that I received 
from you in June, 1913, was success- 
ful. I haven't felt any effects of it 
since. It was a tumor removed from 
my back.

Don't Figure the Cost 
for a Doctor who can snatch people 
from such a terrible death as cancer 
causes. 
I feel so fortunate that I heard of 
Dr. Johnson and his kind help, I 
will always have a warm place in my 
heart for them after doing so much 
for me. 
Don't figure the cost of a cure of 
your cancer. Your life is worth 
more to you and your family than 
all the money you could pay for 
being cured, so don't wait but go at 
once and be cured. 
If anyone wants to know any more 
about my cure and experience with 
Dr. Johnson, write me and I will be 
more than glad to answer.

Two years ago next July 3d, I went

my face and was there about five

they will ever return.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
It is with pleasure that I again 
take the opportunity to notify you, 
and more especially the public, that 
the cure of my cancer has been per- 
manent. 1 give you the privilege to 
publish this letter of testimony any- 
where or in any booklet you wish. 
I suffered from a cancerous growth 
on my under lip for about four 
years. At last I went to Dr. John- 
son, and in six weeks I was entirely 
cured. That was two years ago 
(came under treatment December, 
18, 1916) and there is no sign of the 
cancer coming back. 
I do most heartily recommend Dr. 
Johnson's method of treatment to 
anyone with any form of cancer, and 
will gladly give an answer to all in- 
quiring sufferers who write me. 
Yours gratefully,

tors, it seemed just like home to go 
to the office. Everybody is jolly, 
and "how are you.'' 
I see no reason why anybody 
should die of cancer, if they go to 
Dr. Johnson in time. Your delays 
are dangerous. Just as soon as you 
are suspicious of cancer, go to Dr. 
Johnson and he will surprise you. 
Don't wait till one foot is in the 
grave and then blame the Doctor if 
he tells you he can't cure you. And 
don't experiment; go where they do 
not fail. That is what I did. I 
knew what Dr. Johnson had done 
for two of my friends, and I went 
believing he could do as much for 
me, and he did, and I thank heaven

of the lower lip for three years. I 
left my cancer with Dr. Johnson, 
and I consider I am sound and well. 
Now, what I write is the plain 
truth. I hope it may be the cause of 
some poor cancer victim being cured. 
My advice is to go to Dr. Johnson 
and his good nurses, for they saved 
me from a terrible death from that 
dread disease, cancer.

De Lamere, N. Dak., Feb. 20, 1919. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
Your letter received and with the 
greatest of pleasure I am writing 
you this testimonial of what you 
have done for me through your 
treatment, and if it will be the means 
of directing anyone afflicted as I was 
in coming to you, I am certainly 
glad to give it. 
I was suffering from ulcers of the 
stomach. Had been afflicted about 
four years. The symptoms of this 
disease were fullness after eating. 
My stomach was sore and tender to 
the touch. Everything 1 ate dis- 
tressed me, nor did I have any ap- 
petite to eat anything. At times 1 
would not eat for days; was weak 
and became tired very easily. My 
general health was much impaired 
before I went to you. I had tried 
most everything and I did not have 
any hope of ever getting well again, 
as I had then, in the last four years, 
consulted several doctors about my 
case, tried their different methods of 
treatment, but received no benefit 
from them, did not even improve me 
any, but steadily grew worse. 
When I first heard of your institu- 
tion I did not wait long but went for 
treatment, and I am now so thank- 
what you have done for me. I feel 
sure my cancer is cured, as it never 
gives me any trouble whatever. 
I went to Dr. Johnson's office 
October 30, 1917, and came home 
November 27, 1917. I had cancer 
88  
ful that I did, for I received wonder- 
ful results. You did not only im- 
prove me, but I think I can faith- 
fully say that I have been completely 
cured, for all symptoms of disease 
have disappeared. I am so glad I 
stayed with you for treatment, as I 
am now welP and very glad after 
being sick so long. I am feeling 
fine and enjoy good health and feel 
stronger than I have for many years; 
have a splendid appetite, and sleep 
well. I am now able to eat most 
anything without distress which was 
impossible before. Have gained my 
usual weight and still keep gaining 
right along. Every one speaks so of 
how well I look and wants to know 
about your doctoring, and I can give 
all of the credit and praise to your 
treatment. 
You may print this in whatever 
way it seems best to you, and can use 
my name in any way or at any time. 
I will gladly answer all letters sent 
me. I'm always ready and anxious 
to tell anyone afflicted of your treat- 
ment and my recovery. I feel so 
well I want others to know of you, 
that they may also be restored to 
health. I would say to all who 
suffer from this trouble, go to Dr. 
Johnson and you will receive the best 
of treatment, and be cured as I was. 
I know from my own experience 
that his is the best and the only 
place to go to get well. 
I wish to thank you most sincerely, 
Dr. Johnson, for what you did for me 
during my stay and the interest you 
took in my case, and feel that you 
saved my life. You were at all 
times kind, which means much to a 
patient when taking treatment. 
Again thanking you all very kindly 
for the treatment received and the 
good health I enjoy at the present 
time, and with the best wishes for 
your continued success, I am, 
Your most sincere friend, 
MISS MARY ERICKSON.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
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. 
I 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. I went 
to Kansas City, Mo., to Dr. O. A. 
Johnson. He treated me with his 
medical treatment and 1 was cured. 
This has been fourteen years ago and 
there is no sign of the cancer re- 
turning. 
Yours truly,

A Little Scale or Scab on the Nose 
Developed to a Great Sore. 
Forest City, Mo., Jan. 26, 1919. 
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,

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
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 thirteen years since you said 
I was cured, and I feel that I am 
cured and by your method of treating. 
thirteen 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, 
MRS. A. J. ROWE.

Dear Doctor: 
Three years ago (March, 1916). I 
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.

Dr. O. A. Johnson,

Dear Doctor: 
It was four years ago last Febru- 
ary 8th, that Mrs. Adams and I came 
to you for treatment; she suffering 
from a skin cancer on the nose of 
two years growth, and I suffering 
from a cancer on my neck behind 
the right ear. My cancer measured 
about 2x1^2 inches, and it first 
began to show about ten years be- 
fore I went to you. 
Now that more than four years 
have past since you treated us, I 
think we are safe in recommending 
your treatment as a permanent cure 
for cancer, which we cheerfully do. 
We do this in appreciation of the 
good work you did for us, and also 
for the benefit and encouragement 
it will bring to others afflicted. 
Naturally, we must believe in your 
treatment as a cure for cancer, and 
if at any time we can say or do any- 
thing to help a cancer sufferer to go 
to you for a cure, we will consider it 
our duty to encourage him all we can. 
We know you do not claim to cure 
any and all cases, but our experience 
and observation is that you can cure 
a large percentage of cases. The 
main thing is for the patient to go to 
you promptly and not waste time 
trying first one thing and then 
another. 
We will be glad to answer any 
letters from those wanting to know 
what we think of your cancer in- 
stitution and your ability to cure 
the disease, and those who may live 
near enough we should be glad to 
have them call on us. 
We wish you the very best of suc-

and rest assured that we will co-

Cancer on Upper Eyelid. 
Box 64, Portland, Ore. 
Feb. 11, 1919. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
In December, 1914, I discovered a 
small growth on the upper lid of my 
left eye. The following April 1 
went to see my physician and he told 
me it was a cancer, but as I was then 
67 years old I would not live long 
enough for it to kill me. 
In June, 1917, I went to you and in 
four weeks I was discharged as cured 
and do not think that there will be a 
return of the cancer. 
My advice to all those that have 
cancer is to come to you as soon as 
possible for treatment, where they 
will find the best nurses and careful 
attention. 
Yours truly, 
E. H. WRIGHT.

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- 
monial from me, yet I feel that per- 
haps another will help inform the 
public of your medical treatment. 
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 I feel 
permanently cured of that dread 
disease, for which you have my 
heartfelt good wishes for the con- 
tinuance of your meritorious work. 
Gratefully yours, 
MRS. MINA F. HAWKES.

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.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I can personally recommend Dr. 
O. A. Johnson for the permanent 
cure of my cancer. I 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 ten years since I 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 
83 years old. My cancer has never 
bothered me a bit; it is permanently 
cured and gives me no trouble at all. 
Yours truly,

Dear Doctor: 
It has been two years this month 
since I took treatment from you for 
cancer of the lower lip. I believe I 
have a permanent cure. 
When I went to you I was sur- 
prised to find the multitude coming 
in for treatment and the cured ones 
leaving most every day. This was 
evidence enough for me that your 
treatment was most sure to send 
the patient home cured. 
I cannot thank you enough when 
I think what the result might have 
been had I gone elsewhere. One 
man in our town has had a cancer 
cut out of his cheek twice in the last 
year, and now has a hole in his cheek 
as large as a silver dollar waiting for 
it to heal so they can graft it over.

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 I was well, and 
both myself and husband returned 
home May 23, 1915, cured of cancer. 
I would advise anyone suffering 
from cancer not to delay, but go to 
you promptly and get cured.

My Dear Sir: 
I can say I sincerely thank you and 
your kind assistants for what you 
have done for me. I can truthfully 
say you have cured two cancers for 
me. I went to Kansas City in No- 
vember, 1909, and stayed three 
weeks and had a cancer cured on my 
left cheek. In 1911 I had to go back

chose you and your methods as most 
likely to cure. I have always been 
thankful that I did so. 
In less than 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.

In 1903 the first sign of a cancer

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 twelve years ago. 
Anyone desiring further informa- 
tion in regard to the facts stated 
above, by writing me I will give 
them; but go to Dr. Johnson at once.

That I may be helpful to other 
cancer sufferers, I wish publicly to 
recommend the treatment I 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 reading the letters over time 
and again I decided to go to Dr. 
Johnson for treatment. I arrived 
at his office the 26th of March, 1914. 
He examined me and told me that I 
could write my wife that he could 
cure me sound and well. He began 
treating me the same day. In nine 
days he pronounced the cancer 
killed. In eight days more the can-

After trying local physicians during 
that time with no success, I was 
finally persuaded to go to him. In 
December, 1913, I 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. 
I have been instrumental in get- 
ting others to take his treatment, 
whom he has also cured. They, 
too, say they have found him to be 
a conscientious, honest physician, 
who will tell you plainly just what 
can be done for you. I urge all 
cancer sufferers who read this not 
to delay treatment for therein lies 
the danger. 
If anyone desires any further in- 
formation in regard to my experience 
and treatment received, I will be 
glad to write you privately and an- 
swer all inquiries.

using a plaster which I used for six 
months. I kept growing worse un- 
der this doctor's treatment, and was 
advised to have my cancer cut out. 
To this I wo.uld 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 twelve years, with no 
return 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,

Dear Sir: 
It is fourteen 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. That 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.

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 under 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-

milder, safer and surer than any 
other treatment of which I have any 
knowledge. 
You and your attendants are to be

Dear Doctor: 
I just received your letter and will 
hasten to let you know about the 
cancer you cured for me about six 
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, 
wm. McKinley. 
You treated it with your treat- 
ment and cured it sound and well. 
It has given me no trouble since. 
You also cured others who went to 
you through my advice, and I saw 
others cured who were already at 
your place. 
I will gladly recommend you to 
anyone.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
Twenty-three years ago I discover- 
ed a growth inside of my right cheek, 
and for some time paid but little at- 
tention 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 I 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 eleven years since I 
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.

what it had done for him. 
I will be only too glad to answer

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 eight 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,

My Dear Good Friend, Dr. Johnson: 
I wish to state my case for the 
good of cancer sufferers: I had a 
small lump appear on the back of 
my neck, and after a time it began to 
grow and gave me lots of worry. It 
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 I 
said no. 
I went to Dr. Johnson and took his 
treatment and he cured me without 
any pain. That was about sixteen 
years ago, as near as I can remember, 
and I 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 I did when I was 
under your care, and then they would 
believe in a cure. 
Yours truly, 
ANDREW M. SMITH.

This is to certify that I used Dr.

My cancer was under the right

just below the shoulder blade. 
Both places are well today, and 
it has been about twelve years ago 
that I took Dr. Johnson's treatment. 
I am going right ahead at my work. 
I can indorse Dr. Johnson's treat-

13 Years Ago You Cured Me of 
Cancer On the Nose. 
New Florence, Mo., Feb. 19, 1919. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
My Dear Doctor: 
To whom it may concern: Thir- 
teen years ago the 5th of April, I 
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 I began taking treatment. I 
am more than glad to say that 1 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. 
I 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. 
until further development. It final- 
ly began growing so rapidly I 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. 
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 twelve years since I was 
dismissed from his institution cured, 
and in consideration of this length of 
time with no recurrence of the old 
trouble, I am sincere in saying his 
treatment permanently cured me, 
and I fully and freely recommend

sufferer to have reliable proof of a 
physician's skill and ability to cure 
this disease. 
I learned of your treatment 
through Dr. Howlett's wife, whom 
you cured some time ago, and she 
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 76 years old and in fairly 
good health. I am very thankful 
for the cure you have performed by 
your medical treatment, which will 
be nine 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 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 I decided 
to try you. 
I went to you for treatment fif- 
teen years ago. I 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 others 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,

cancer. From my own experience 
I know what it means to the cancer

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 
12th I came home. When I 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. 1 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. 
1 will say in conclusion that I am 
not financially interested in Dr. 
Johnson, but I can truly say that I 
never had dealings with a more hon- 
orable man, 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 ten years since I was 
cured and it still holds good, but he 
went to his reward nearly four years 
ago. 
Now I have stated my case as 
well and truly as I can, and to the 
afflicted I would advise you to con- 
Windsor, Ill., Feb. 26, 1919. 
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 human- 
ity 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 1 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. I 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 1 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

where I found a cure, and I hope 
you may be as fortunate.

along. 
I also advise keeping away from 
the knife. I know of too many 
cases of operating proving failures. 
I will freely answer any letters 
from the afflicted.

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 10th 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

You Dismissed Me As Cured 
of Cancer of the Rectum. 
Vernon, Colo., Jan. 21, 1919. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Dr. Johnson: 
It has now been 14 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. I 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, 
A. J. RAY.

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

Dear Sir and Friend: 
In regard to giving you an en- 
dorsement for the treatment you 
gave me for cancer of the face, I 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 five 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-

Hoping you will have good suc-

It is now nearly eleven years since 
I took treatment from you for a 
tumor, or cancer, under my chin. I 
feel satisfied now that I am perfectly 
cured. 
The doctor here wanted me to go 
to Kansas City and have it cut out, 
which I would not do. I heard of 
you and went to you, and in about 
four weeks came home cured. 
With a feeling of true gratitude 
toward you, and a sincere desire to 
bring hope and encouragement to 
those unfortunates afflicted with that 
terrible disease, I am taking this op- 
portunity of publicly endorsing your 
medical treatment for cancer. 
I will cheerfully answer all cor-

of my case.

Dear Doctor: 
I now take the pleasure in writing 
you again for publication, that you 
cured me of cancer on the inside of 
my left cheek in January, 1906, more 
than thirteen 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 
and be cured. I will be glad to 
answer any letters that come to me, 
so wishing you prosperity and suc- 
cess, I remain

My Dear Sir: 
1 will make this statement: 
I had a large cancer on my lower 
lip which had been there seven years. 
My home doctor treated me for 
about six years, but did not cure me. 
I went to Dr. O. A. Johnson on 
September 24, 1912, and returned 
home October 23, 1912, cured of my 
cancer. Up to this time my lip is 
well, and I thank God and Dr. 
Johnson. 
After I returned home from Kan- 
sas City I went to my old doctor and 
showed him that my mouth was 
well. He was pleased and said that 
you had done me a nice job. 
I advise all persons suffering from 
cancer to go to Dr. Johnson and get 
cured.

whether I would ever see them again 
or not. 
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 I 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. I 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

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 
try his treatment. I did so. On 
April 4, 1908, about eleven years 
ago, I left home, bidding friends and 
will do as I 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,

years. Of course, like most all can-

been more than eight years since I

Dear Doctor Johnson: 
I write this for the benefit of those 
who are afflicted with cancer as I 
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. 
I had a cancer on my nose. Three 
of my home doctors said to let it go 
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 eight 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. 
Yours truly, 
E. E. SHRIVER.

I will be 84 years old my next birth- 
day. My general state of health is 
good for one of my age. You will 
always have a warm place in my 
heart for what you have done for 
me, and am always ready to tell 
anyone of your successful treat- 
ment.

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

was in the fall of 1906 that I was 
cured and I feel all right yet and am 
sure I am cured.

Dear Doctor: 
To anyone that has cancer I would 
recommend that they see Dr. O. A. 
Johnson of Kansas City, Mo., for 
treatment. 
I had a cancer under my right eye 
that gave me trouble for six years. 
I went to Dr. Johnson the first of 
January, 1916. In four weeks he 
had it out and cured up. It is well 
yet. 
Don't wait too long if you have a

shows his patients, and I believe him 
to be a gentleman.

lief. I then consulted two other 
doctors with the same results. 
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-

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 cancer 
can be cured. I can say that I am 
cured. I have been well fourteen 
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.

Dear Doctor: 
Nine years ago last winter I went

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 Johnson: 
In reply to yours, asking me for a 
testimonial, will say that I was 
treated and cured of a cancer on my 
nose. 
The cancer had been on my nose 
for five or six years. I 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.

who wishes to write me in regard to 
the matter.

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-

My Dear Doctor: 
It is six 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 
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:

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 chapice 
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 I 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 
nearly 78 years. 
I must say that I 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- 
and for which I came to you to be 
treated in June, 1915, has not given 
me any trouble. 
I think my cure wonderful on ac- 
count of my age, which was 78 when 
I was treated. I am thanking you 
very much, and would be pleased to 
have other people know that you are 
a good cancer curer. 
You have my permission to print 
this letter and my picture if you 
think it will help other people find a 
cure at your place.

Doctor, I want to state further 
that I see in your book the testi- 
monial and photo of one Washington 
Reed of Ottawa, Kans., whom 1 
knew went home cured while I was 
there. I remember Mr. Reed well, 
also many more you cured while I 
was there. I will tell you about one 
of my neighbors whom you cured 
while I was there of such a bad can- 
cer on her nose. She is still well 
and the very picture of health. 
Hoping you may live long and go

suffering humanity, I am,

Jonesburg, Mo., Feb. 19, 1919. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
It is with much pleasure and grati- 
tude that I am writing this, my 
second testimonial, to you. As it is 
now seven and a half years since I 
came home from your institution 
cured, and as I consider my cure 
permanent, I deem it my bounden 
duty to reiterate all said in my for- 
mer testimonial. 
I was afflicted with cancer of the 
breast, and had been in poor health, 
for three years. In the spring of 
1907 I first found a small lump in my 
right breast which remained about 
the same size and shape until in the 
early summer of 1910. Then it 
began to grow rapidly and my breast, 
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- 
not heal. Local doctors pronounced 
it epithelioma, but could do nothing 
for me. 
After suffering for three years, I

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- 
the state of my general health and 
vitality, and that my cancer was in 
the last stage when I commenced 
treatment, the wonderful progress I 
have made in the past five and a 
half years since my cancer was cured 
is positive proof that cancer can be 
cured. 
I have been interviewed, Doctor, 
by several parties in the past year 
who had cancer. One lady who was 
afflicted with cancer of the breast 
took my advice and went to consult 
you in regard to her case. I am 
glad to be informed that she was 
pleased with her treatment while at 
your institution, and that she has 
returned home cured. 
I have great faith in the healing 
powers of your medical treatment; 
also I appreciate the kindness shown 
me by your kind nurses. I will 
recommend you to my friends as a 
great and good specialist. 
I will answer all letters of inquiry.

Dear Doctor: 
Eighteen years ago next January 
you pronounced me cured of the large 
cancer on the back of my neck. I 
am glad to say that I remain cured 
and there is no sign of it returning, 
and there is but a small scar to mark 
Jonesburg, Mo., Feb. 18, 1919. 
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. I was under 
his treatment about six weeks. Now, 
it shows from the dates, that I have 
been cured about seventeen years. 
I have no fear of the disease ever re- 
turning. I have all faith in Dr. 
Johnson as a cancer doctor, or for 
any other disease 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.

am in good health and have never 
felt any bad effects from it since the 
day I left your office. 
I feel that I am now justified in 
giving you this testimonial for I am 
sure that I am permanently cured. 
Your medical treatment is every- 
thing that you claim for it. You 
have cured me and you can cure 
others ; in fact, I know of others you 
have cured. I will recommend any- 
one who is suffering from this disease 
to lose no time in putting their case 
in your hands, and if they will apply 
to you when the disease is in a 
curable stage they will receive a per- 
manent cure. 
May God spare your life and give

To the Public: 
From my own experience I can 
heartily recommend Dr. O. A. John- 
son's treatment for cancer. I was 
afflicted for five years. 
I had a cancer of five years stand- 
ing. Dr. Johnson, with his treat- 
ment, removed the cancer smooth 
and clean in thirty days. Seven 
years have passed since the treat- 
ment and no more signs of cancer.

It is nearly fourteen 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 
the many cases being treated and the 
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

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

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 fourteen 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.

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-

Many Cancer Sufferers Neglect 
to Seek A Cure Until It Is Too 
Late. 
Magnet, Nebr., Feb. 22, 1919. 
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. I 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. I 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 
take pleasure in saying that I am 
completely cured. 
I am sending a late picture of my- 
self which you can use with the one

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, 
C. J. LEENER. 
had grown to about the size of one 
and a half inches in diameter. 
Shortly before going under your 
treatment the cancer had begun to 
grow so rapidly that my home doc- 
tor couldn't control it. 
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 success. 
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. 
You may print this letter as a pub- 
lic announcement, and if anyone 
wants to verify it they need only 
address me, sending an addressed

To The Public, or Whom It May 
Concern: 
I had a sore come on my lip in 
1904. It did not trouble me much 
the first year. The next year it 
spread over the entire lower lip and 
commenced paining, a kind of a 
gripping pain that reached to my 
chest. I consulted two home doctors 
and they told me it was a cancer. 
In January, 1907, I put myself in 
care of Dr. O. A. Johnson. He cured 
my cancer and improved my general 
health. I do not hesitate to recom- 
mend Dr. Johnson and his treatment 
to all who have cancer.

I was a sufferer of cancer of the

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.

should not wait, but go to Dr. John-

I came to your office October 13,

Dear Sir: 
I feel it my duty to humanity to 
write you a letter for publication. 11 
is nearly five years now since I took 
treatment of you, and I have never 
lost a chance to recommend your 
treatment and have sent several 
patients to you. I heartily indorse 
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- 
tors that an operation was necessary. 
I am so thankful I took your treat- 
ment and escaped an operation. 
You may use my name as a refer- 
ence in any way you prefer to in-

institution for treatment. 
I will gladly answer any letters of 
inquiry.

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 
heard I was convinced that you could 
cure me, so I began treatment. In

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. I 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 I 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. 
They didn't want me to go and said 
he was only an advertising quack 
doctor, but I went just the same and 
thank God today I did. I might 
have been dead by this time. I 
wish every woman and man who 
has cancer or lumps of any kind 
that they don't know what they are 
would go to Dr. Johnson. I know 
they never would regret the time 
and money, or the place they went. 
By all means don't have a surgical 
operation, but go to Dr. Johnson 
before it is too late for a cure. 
I am glad the doctor has made 
such wonderful improvements since I 
was there. He is now able to cure 
more serious cases than before and 
in less time. 
Now I ask you again, one and all 
that are afflicted in this way, to go to 
Dr. Johnson at once, for I know he 
can cure you if you don't wait until 
it is too late. 
Thanking you again, Doctor, for 
your courteous treatment and per- 
manent cure. I will close with kind 
regards for one and all of your faith- 
ful assistants. I am

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
With great pleasure I wish to say, 
after being cured over six years of 
what the doctor called scirrhus or 
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 I nursed on the 
right breast, but I 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. 
I 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 I could find a cure. I 
found three ads in papers of different 
cancer doctors. I heard from all of 
them. Their prices were all about

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. 
Five years ago the 12th of next 
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 fifteen 
or sixteen years ago. You also cured 
a Mr. Fail of Eureka ten or twelve 
years ago. He was killed in a street 
time, enlarged and gave me trouble. 
I consulted two physicians, but was 
treated by none. A man who had 
been cured of cancer on the lip by 
you recommended your treatment 
to me. I immediately applied to 
you for treatment, and was cured. 
That has been more than twelve 
years ago, and I believe I was cured 
to stay cured. 
Hoping this may help some afflict- 
ed one, I am,

I am willing to answer any inquiry

who suffer from cancer I say don't 
lose any time in correspondence. 
You will find Dr. Johnson and his in- 
stitution just as represented by him 
and that his former patients tell the 
truth in their recommendations. If 
you can't believe the Doctor because 
you may not know him, you can 
surely believe we who have been 
cured. There are hundreds of us liv- 
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.

In the spring of 1909 I went to see

and the other said for me to try Dr.

much faith in operation for cancer.

Johnson's wonderful success, I went

go at once. Dr. Johnson and his

of you in any emergency.

In writing these few lines I hope it

come on the back of my right hand. 
I did not think much about it until 
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

it began to grow, and burn, and sting, 
and itch at intervals. No salve or 
ointment that I used did it any 
good. 
In July I went to a doctor and he 
treated it for several days, and I 
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.

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 
tor removed it and I have had no 
trouble since. I 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.

In answer to your letter inquiring

cancer and piles. Thanks to you

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 fif- 
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,

gan with a small lump just to the left

Doctor, you are at liberty to use

you again for fine treatment given

Dear Doctor: 
I wish to add my endorsement to 
your long list, for I am very grateful 
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 I 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 I 
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 
microscopical 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. I was treated five weeks. 
Oh the 16th day of December, 1911, 
I came home, and I can gladly say I 
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

no scar at all. I can but say that

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 medical 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 
68 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 
I Was Never Treated Nicer or 
Ever Given Better Care Than 
I Was by Dr. Johnson and His 
Nurses. 
R. F. D. 1, South Greenfield, Mo. 
February 3, 1919. 
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 seven years ago 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 
care than I was by Dr. Johnson and 
his lady nurses. 
I have been telling all my friends 
about him and trust that all who 
have cancer will go to him for treat- 
ment. He can cure you if you don't 
wait too long. 
God bless Dr. Johnson and his 
treatment. 
Yours sincerely,

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 
suffering the tortures of death by 
cancer. 
I will gladly answer all who may

too late to expect beneficial results 
from anyone in the profession of 
medicine of 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

treatment) I want to endorse for the 
facts, the results derived myself 
from the advice, management and 
treatment in my own case of epithel-

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

nothing may be expected by appeal-

Dear Doctor: 
With greatest pleasure I can rec-

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,

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 dis-ease, cancer. 
Dr. Johnson cured me almost ten 
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.

It has been thirteen years since 
you cured my lower lip of a bad

you treated for me six 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 
1 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- 
ness as in the past.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
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 
138  
Rev. F. C. Richards, Baptist 
Minister, Writes an Interest- 
ing Letter of His Experience 
and Final Recovery. 
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- 
sicians and nurses to be skilled in 
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- 
ble I had, and he gave me medicine 
when I left and told me how to use 
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- 
ferers. 
Doctor, I shall gladly answer any 
letters of inquiry that I may receive 
as to your treatment. You have 
proved yourselvqs 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.

For three years I was afflicted with 
a place on my face, under my right

getting so bad I could not stand in 
the pulpit much longer if my trouble 
continued. I began to consu.lt 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 I 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 80 years old and I am en- 
joying excellent health, which I at- 
tribute to the good treatment I 
received at your hands. 
In view of my own cure and the 
cure of others which I know you have

To Whom It May Concern: 
I had a lump on my face which 
had been there for about three years, 
but had not caused me any trouble. 
In the spring of 1911, it began to 
grow and bother me. My wife and 
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. 0. 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.

Again I say, go to Dr. Johnson to 
have your cancer cured. He is the 
best cancer doctor in this country, 
undoubtedly, and he has been curing 
cancer for many years and knows his 
business.

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

To Whom It May Concern: 
I do hereby say that I believe Doc- 
tor O. A. Johnson can and will cure 
cancer, for he cured me sound and 
well of one on my right temple in 
February, 1915, and I have not seen 
any signs of it returning. There is 
almost no scar at all, and my health 
has been fine ever since. He also

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 I 
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 1 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. 
Yours very truly,

Kansas City, Mo. 
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 I did so. 1 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. I commenced 
your treatment July 13, 1916, and 
when I came to your office I was a 
physical wreck. I 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

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. 
Yours respectfully,

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
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 
worse cases than mine, and not one

Dear Doctor: 
I received your letter yesterday. 
Will now reply. 1 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, I went to Kansas City for 
treatment. I 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.

the hollow pit where it was has filled

right to enter this as you see fit, to

Anyone having cancer should not

and I advise all to go to you prompt-

its early stage. 
You did good work for me, Doc-

others when I was with you in July,

very best wishes for continued suc- 
cess in relieving and curing your 
cancer patients.

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 October, 1915, 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

In 1910 my left breast began to 
bother me by having pains and would 
feel sore at times. I didn't think 
much about it at first, but it kept get-

it must be something serious. We 
consulted our home doctor. He said 
he couldn't doctor me, but said if 
there was any lump it should be cut 
out. We then went to our neigh- 
boring town and I was examined by 
a physician there. He said he didn't

Dear Sir and Friend: 
It is now a year since I was in 
your institute and I am glad to tell 
you that I have had no trouble with 
my lip. I think it is entirely and 
permanently cured. 
I am certainly anxious to tell any- 
one who is afflicted with a cancer of 
what I know of you and your 
methods of treatment. The severe 
treatment I had previously had made 
it more difficult for you and a great 
deal of needless pain for me. 
I never neglect an opportunity to 
tell of you and try to save my friends

not going to you at first.

want to scare me, but there was a 
lump in my breast and it would have 
to be taken out. I asked him how, 
and he said "cut out." I said I 
would never have that done; I 
had heard of too many being operat- 
ed on and they never got well. I 
didn't know what to do, as we didn't 
know where there was a good doctor. 
We came home and in a few days 
my husband saw an ad. in some 
paper. He wrote and received the 
doctor's literature in a few days. 
Later we heard of two or three in 
our vicinity that had been doctored

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 fourteen years since I was 
treated and I have not had any in- 
dication of a return since I was pro- 
nounced cured, so I am persuaded 
that the cure is permanent. My 
experience has been the experience

I can heartily endorse Dr. John-

I had a lump in my right breast, 
which was giving me much trouble. 
Of course, I was advised to have it 
cut out, but I am so glad now I did 
not. Dr. Johnson removed the 
lump in December, 1915, and I feel 
confident that it will not return. 
Dr. Johnson is not only a good 
physician, but a courteous gentle- 
man. I was never better treated 
than I was by him and his assistants 
in his office. He is in every way 
worthy of being recommended, and 
I am willing to have this printed and 
hope it may be the means of bring- 
ing many afflicted people to him for 
treatment.

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.

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 1 
had. For more than five years I 
suffered with cancer of the left 
breast. Not one of my friends ever 
thought I 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- 
Nothing But Highest Praise. 
Kingsville, Mo., Feb. 24, 1919. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
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, 
WASHINGTON LONG.

ceived it, but thought he might be 
like all the other doctors I had tried. 
Anyway, on the 26th day of Septem- 
ber, 1905, I started to take treat- 
ment from him, and on the 16th day 
of December, the same year, he dis- 
charged me from his care a well 
woman. I can say that today I 
am a well woman and never think 
any more of my old trouble. 
I am writing this testimonial

cured, and hope it may help other

as he helped me.

Bigelow, Mo., Feb. 18, 1919. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
1 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 fourteen 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 Chunning, 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,

to some specialist, so I went to Kan- 
sas City. I tried two doctors there, 
but received no benefit from them, 
and came home discouraged. I 
thought I would try home treatment, 
so I wrote to a doctor in St. Louis, 
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 
to one side and started to run a 
dark, bloody water from the nipple. 
It was then I learned of Dr. John- 
son's treatment for cancer, so we 
wrote to him for advice, and re-

that evening, but the head doctor, 
being a very conscientious man, 
advised me to go to Nashville and 
go through a very dangerous opera-

of ever being cured. 
Paris, Tenn., Jan. 9, 1919. 
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

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.

from anyone suffering with cancer, 
and would advise them to go to you

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. I 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 fourteen 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. 1 did not 
think much about it for some time. 
The scale would come off, but in a 
short 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. I 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 
of your treatment for cancer, and in 
152  
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. 
1 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 I 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. 
Yours truly, 
J. W. WOODHOUSE.

you are all right.

Cancer of the Right Breast 
Treated Ten Years Ago. 
R. F. D. 4, Box 354, Tacoma, 
Wash., Feb. 1, 1919. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
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. 
I suffered with cancer of the right 
breast for about a year, which was 
of a very rapid growth, and at the 
time I went to Doctor Johnson for 
treatment it had reached the stage 
of blood poison. 
It is now over ten years ago and 
the cancer has shown no indications 
of returning, and my general health 
is better that it ever was before; so 
I feel that I am permanently cured. 
While there taking treatment, I 
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. 
Very respectfully yours, 
MRS. MARY C. HENDRICKS. 
I Praise You to Everyone That 
Is Afflicted With Cancer.

I am so thankful I went to you for 
treatment when I did, (January, 
1911) and thank you a thousand 
times for what you done for me. I

you realize, Dr. Johnson, all that 
you have done for me, or how very 
grateful I am to you; not only just 
while I was taking your treatment 
but since and all the time. Perhaps 
you do not realize it, but I do, and I 
would like to say to all that to know 
Dr. Johnson is to know a friend, 
tried and true, and one that can be 
trusted at all times and in every way. 
What a great consolation it is to 
know that there is a doctor like Dr. 
Johnson, where one can go and be 
cured, and feel and know that they 
can put all trust and confidence in 
him, and feel at home among his 
force of kind nurses and doctors, as 
well as among the many patients 
from all over the United States that 
are gathered there at all times. 
Perhaps one can not believe it until 
they had a trial, but really and truly 
I found great pleasure in being at 
Dr. Johnson's, for there were so 
many kind faces to see, and so much 
to learn, and so much kindness 
shown me. Never in all my life did 
I ever see or know such kind friends 
as 1 found while there. 
It is really hard to tell, Dr. John- 
son, which one of your helpers is the 
best, as each one could not be out 
done, and every one of them did so 
much for me. Even my boarding 
house lady was doubly kind to me, 
and never faltered in looking after 
my physical welfare. My own dear 
mother could not have done more 
for me and I will never forget her 
kindness as long as I live. Outside 
of a few hours of pain and anxious 
worry as to whether I would get 
cured or not, I really and truly had a 
pleasant time. I have visited Kan- 
sas City a number of times since I 
was cured and I always look forward 
with pleasure for the opportunity to 
again meet the kind friends I made 
while there. Their kindness and 
friendship more than repays for all I 
suffered with my affliction, besides 
Hillsdale, Kans., Feb. 14, 1919. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
As it has been some time since you 
have heard from me, I feel that I 
should let you know my condition 
at this time. I deem it a duty to 
let you know, in fact to let the whole 
world know, if possible, that I am 
really and truly cured of cancer of 
the left breast. It has been over 
four years (I came to you October 
6, 1914) since 1 was discharged from 
your tender care and treatment, and 
as I have had no return of my old 
trouble I think I can now safely say 
that I am completely cured. 
I have never forgotten, nor never 
can forget your kindness to me while 
at your institution, and more so 
since, for 1 find that you do not for- 
get your old patients as soon as you 
discharge them, as so many doctors 
do, but remain their friend forever, 
and never tire of doing good for their 
welfare and comfort. I doubt if

being cured of the most deadly foe 
of mankind. I am greeted so warm- 
ly by each and every one connected 
with Dr. Johnson's institution when 
I visit them-it is just like going 
home to relatives and friends after a 
long absence. 
I always had had a horror of doc- 
tors and nurses, for I had always 
understood that nurses were cross 
and cranky and, of course, I imagined 
all doctors were, too; but not so 
with the nurses and doctors at Dr. 
Johnson's. I did not realize at the 
time how much you all did for me, 
but since being cured I have realized 
it more every day. If every one 
that has cancer could only know the 
merit and true worth of Dr. John- 
son they would not fail to go and be 
cured at once. 
No doubt you remember, Doctor, 
the lady from California that I 
brought to you, and who was per- 
suaded to go to a knife doctor and 
be operated on and was promised a 
sure cure. Well, she was getting 
worse before she even started back 
to California and has since died a 
most horrible death. She suffered 
untold agonies and lingered for weeks 
and prayed to die long before the 
end came. No one knows what she 
suffered and endured, and all just 
because she was persuaded by a 
friend not to take your treatment, 
but to go to a knife doctor and be 
operated on. I am sure you could 
have cured her, Doctor, for she was 
not bad like I was. She appeared 
to be perfectly well in every way 
except the cgncer on her breast, and 
was not all run down like I was, so 
I just know you could have cured 
her. She regretted many times that 
she did not stay and take treatment 
from you, for she believed afterward 
that you could have cured her, but 
she saw her mistake too late, and 
she and her relatives were sorry 
ever after that she allowed herself 
to be influenced as she was. She 
was a dear friend of mine and I 
always felt that the parties who 
turned her against you were largely 
responsible for her intense suffering 
and untimely death. All of her 
people were distracted because she 
was persuaded away from you and 
did not take your treatment and let 
you cure her. They were satisfied 
you could cure her, because they 
believed what 1 told them about my 
own case and the many other cases 
I saw cured just what little time I 
was with you. 
I wish I could do something to 
repay you for all your kindness 
toward me, but I never can. There 
is one thing I can do, though, and 
that is to persuade every one I can 
to go to you for a cure. You want 
to cure everybody you can and I 
hope I can help you by sending peo- 
ple to you but, of course, I realize 
this is helping the cancer patient 
more than it is you, for they receive 
the greatest reward. 
I am ready and willing at all 
times to testify in your behalf and 
answer all inquiring letters concern- 
ing your treatment and cures, and 
I hope all that suffer from cancer 
will come to you and be cured, and 
I know you can cure them if they 
will only believe in you and come in 
time. 
Give my best regards to all the 
dear nurses and kind doctors, who 
so faithfully bestowed their services 
upon me while I was under your care 
and treatment. May you all live 
long to continue in your much 
needed services to cancer sufferers, 
is my sincere prayer. 
Sincerely your friend,

treated her and cured her in first-

refrain from expressing my sincere

Dear Doctor: 
I received your letter today and 
will answer right away. 1 was very 
glad to hear from you. I've been 
wanting to write you a letter for a 
long time, but kept putting it off. 
It was April 18, 1916, I went to 
you for treatment for cancer on my 
lower lip. After four weeks of kind 
treatment I went home. I dressed 
my lip five days after I got home 
and it was healed over and I am 
glad to say I am cured.

little children and struck out for 
Kansas City. 
I was under the care of Dr. John- 
son for six weeks and came home 
and am perfectly cured of the can- 
cer. There is not the least sign of 
anything like a cancer ever being 
there. Of course it left a scar, but 
it could not be otherwise, as it was a 
large thing to remove. 
If I was to say what I think of Dr. 
Johnson and his staff of doctors and 
nurses it would fill a newspaper. 
No person could possibly have been 
better taken care of than I was. 
Never, while I was there taking 
treatment, was I in such a shape 
but that I could do my own cooking 
and walk to the office twice a day. 
I want to state how long I suffered 
with my breast before I took Dr. 
Johnson's treatment. It hurt me 
for ten years. My two last children 
could not nurse that breast at all. 
Finally it commenced to swell up 
and formed three hard lumps. I 
came to the conclusion then that it 
was life or death with me, and I 
never was more glad of anything 
I ever done than 1 was when I made 
up my mind to go to Kansas City. 
The day I went to Dr. Johnson I 
weighed 130 pounds and now I 
weigh 165 pounds, so you can see 
that I am in good health. I never 
felt better in my life, and can say to 
anyone wanting to make any in- 
quiry about my case, or about Dr. 
Johnson, that I will answer any in- 
quiry about my case, or about Dr. 
Johnson, that 1 will answer any and 
all questions they may wish to ask 
me if they will send an addressed 
and stamped envelope, and be glad 
to do it.

Dear Doctor: 
I am writing you a letter stating 
my condition and how I am feeling 
at the present time. 
I went to your office for treatment 
three years ago next November. 
You made an examination of my 
case and pronounced it cancer of 
the right breast. Before going to 
you I had been to see two of our 
local physicians and they said 1 had 
cancer, but also said there could 
not be anything done without an 
operation. They gave me no hope, 
but from the recommendation of 
my husband's mother, Mrs. R. 
Thornton, who had been there at 
your place and was cured of cancer 
of the womb, I left my home and

to add my testimonial to the many

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- 
der and know that he can cure can- 
cer without the use of the knife. 
I will gladly answer anyone that 
wishes to know anything in regard 
to Dr. Johnson. 
Wishing you great success, I re-

Dear Doctor: 
The cancer I had on my shoulder 
blade is entirely cured. It does not 
bother me any more at all. It had 
been bothering me for about twelve 
years before 1 took your treatment, 
and has now been cured five years. 
I think your method of treating 
cancer is the only way. 
Yours truly,

Dr. Johnson. To delay is to regret 
it later. 
Six years ago I discovered a small 
lump in my right breast. I suffered 
no pain; it was a gradual growth. 
When I went to Dr. Johnson he told 
me it was a cancer and he could cure 
me. I took his treatment and am 
thankful to say, in due time, returned 
home free from any cancer. I have 
been in the best of health ever since. 
Thanks to Dr. Johnson and his as- 
sistants. I cannot praise him too 
much for what he did for me, and the 
interest he takes in all his patients- 
courteous to all and very successful 
when taken in time. 
Will gladly answer all letters from 
those afflicted with cancer.

ing to give you this recommenda- 
tion. 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 
years old when treated, called at 
your office for all my treatments and 
kept right along with my household 
and other duties. From my ex- 
perience I see no reason why anyone 
can't go through the treatment very 
nicely. 
As I said before, if anyone wishes 
to write to me I will answer promptly 
and do the best I can to tell them all 
I can about Dr. Johnson's institu- 
tion. If there is anyone in Kansas 
City that would like to talk with 
me about my cure, or if you come 
to see Dr. Johnson, I will be glad to 
have you call at my home or I will 
meet you at Dr. Johnson's office, 
so you can see for yourself that all I 
say about my cure is true and that I 
am a living witness of what Dr. 
Johnson's treatment will do for 
cancer sufferers. 
With all good wishes and hoping 
you will see Dr. Johnson at once, I 
am,

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 will-

causing them to go to you and get 
cured. Rev. Richards, a former 
patient of yours, and who spoke so 
favorably of your work, was the 
cause of me going to you. I have 
often recommended your treatment, 
and sent my neighbor, Mr. Inglish, 
to you. He was cured and, of 
course, is highly pleased with your 
treatment. 
Any time I can help a cancer 
sufferer in his decision to go to you 
I shall do so, for I know if he goes in 
time you can cure him. I also know 
that if you can't cure him you will 
tell him so. 
Very truly yours,

Dear Doctor: 
I received your letter and will 
give you my testimonial. I am 
enjoying good health, and the lip 
gives me no more trouble. When I 
took your treatment in August, 
1908, I weighed 140 pounds, and 
now I weigh 175 pounds. 
I first noticed the trouble on my 
lip in 1906. A little place on the 
right side came up ike a wart, then 
it began to itch and burn. I got 
uneasy about it, so went to see a 
doctor. He tried X-Ray on it, 
giving me five treatments, then he 
told me that it was cancer. I be- 
came more alarmed than ever, and 
when I saw your name in the paper 
I went to you at once. 
I can recommend your treatment 
to anyone suffering from cancer. 
From 1908 to 1919 (eleven years) it 
has shown no appearance of coming 
back and has never g.ven me any 
trouble. 
Yours truly,

Dear Doctor: 
I am sending you this testimonial 
which you may use at any time you 
think it will benefit someone suffer- 
ing from cancer. 
When I first noticed my cancer it 
was about the size of a small nutmeg. 
It did not pain me until about one 
year after I noticed it, but grew 
steadily all the while. I went to see 
my home doctor and he advised me 
to have it cut out, but we decided 
not to have that done. 
Finally I had trouble with my 
stomach and bowels. I went to a 
Chiropractic doctor who relieved 
my stomach, but did not stop the 
lump in my breast from growing. 
About this time, or a little later, I 
heard of Dr. O. A. Johnson and de- 
cided to try his treatment, which I 
commenced October 18, 1916. 
I am sound and well; no pains 
anywhere and no appearance of the 
cancer returning. 
Yours truly, 
MRS. M. L. KEMP.

Brewster, Kans., Feb. 5, 1919. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
You will remember that it is six 
years ago this winter that I went to 
you to be treated for varicose ulcers 
on my ankles, which had been run- 
ning sores for over a year, and my 
home doctors failed to give me 
any relief. 
I was under Dr. Johnson's care 
five weeks from January 21, 1913, 
and my sores were all healed up and 
I came home happy and rejoicing. 
One of the nurses told me they had 
over forty cancer patients under 
treatment at that time, and I talked 
with many of them and they all 
praised Dr. Johnson, and said they 
would have been in their grave had 
it not been for Dr. Johnson. It did 
my heart good to see how happy the 
cured ones were when they would 
start for home. There were cured 
patients going home and others 
coming for treatment all the while. 
Now, I would advise all who have 
cancer, a lump or a growth of any 
kind, to go straight to Dr. Johnson. 
If there is anything that can be done 
he will surely do it. I beg of you 
not to wait till the cancer has almost 
eaten you up, for then it is too late. 
Don't dread the knife, for Dr. 
Johnson doesn't use the knife. 
If anybody wants to write to me 
concerning Dr. Johnson's treatment 
they are at liberty to do so and I 
will gladly answer. 
Your grateful patient,

Dear Doctor: 
I was afflicted with skin cancer, 
which appeared in front and slightly 
above my left ear, and had been 
coming two or three years. The 
doctors here burnt it, but they all 
failed to cure. 
I heard of somebody being cured 
by Dr. Johnson, so wrote to him at 
once. He said he thought he could 
cure me, so I went to his office, 
which was February, 1911. I was 
under treatment four weeks, and can 
say that I am permanently cured. 
I can- never thank Dr. Johnson 
enough for curing me. 
Yours very truly,

Dear Sir: 
This is to certify that I have been

ago. 
I am satisfied that I am entirely

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. Walker, 
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 74 years 
of age. I graduated in medicine 
March 4, 1868, more than 51 years 
ago. I have practiced medicine 
continuously except about eighteen 
month since I graduated. 
In conclusion I wish to again say 
that if you have cancer go to Dr. 
Christie, Okla., Feb. 27, 1919. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
As I am old (74 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

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
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 1 had not 
trusted in a Higher Power. But 
after your treatment, partly at home 
and partly at your office, I feel that 
the cancer is cured, as it has been 
eleven years since you treated me. 
I hope that everyone afflicted with 
cancer will go to you for help, for I 
have been convinced that your way 
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, 
A friend,

We will always be glad to recom-

I was cured nine years ago by 
your treatment, for cancer on the left

twelve years. 
Mr. Pope took your treatment and

coming back since I was treated in 
December, 1913. 
I suffered for 5 years before taking 
you treatment. One day my daugh- 
ter wrote for your free cancer book 
and saw therein the testimony of 
Mr. C. G. Wright, Berryville, Ark., 
being cured by you and as my daugh- 
ter's husband, G. T. Wright, knew 
that Mr. C. G. Wright was cured I 
had confidence to come to you for 
treatment. I am thankful I did so, 
for I feel that my cancer is entirely

breast, but it didn't pain or hurt 
her and so we didn't pay any atten- 
tion to it. After awhile her breast 
began to hurt her at times, and it be- 
gan to draw the nipple in and her 
breast began to perish away like. 
We went to a doctor and he told us 
it was a "rose cancer.'' Then we 
went to another doctor and he ad- 
vised us to have it cut out at once, 
but we couldn't think of doing that. 
We then heard of Dr. 0. A. Johnson 
of Kansas City, Mo., so I wrote him 
and he sent me a book called "Can- 
cer Truths,'' and he advised us to 
have something done at once. That 
was in April, 1918. On April 23d we 
started for Kansas City, and on the 
25th of April we commenced treat- 
ment. We went to the office every 
day till the 29th of June, when her 
breast was healed up all but a small 
place about the size of a silver dime. 
You said it wasn't necessary for us 
to stay any longer, as you could give 
us treatment to finish curing it, 
which you did, and her breast healed 
up entirely shortly after we returned 
home. 1 am proud to say it has 
never given her any trouble since. 
I would advise anyone with can- 
cer to not lose any time in getting 
to you for treatment, as 1 believe 
there is not another doctor any 
place that has so good luck with 
cancer as you folks do. I believe we 
met people from about thirty differ- 
ent states while we were with you, 
and we think this speaks well for 
your institution. 
I am sure we will always appre- 
ciate the kindness 'shown us while 
there, and my wife just loves the 
nurse that waited on her, and says 
she always will love her. 
We hope to see all you doctors 
another day, but we never want any 
more cancers. If either of us should 
ever have cancer again, you doctors 
may expect to see us, for yours will 
be the first place we will go.

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 1 
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.

We are willing and proud to in-

treatment.

ME cannot publish in this book all testimonials 
we have received from our former patients. 
It is our aim, however, to furnish ample evi- 
dence from reliable persons in different sections of the 
country-men and women whom we have treated for 
cancer in various locations and stages of development, 
and who, because of their Christian spirit, are anxious 
to help everyone afflicted find a cure. 
If the evidence which we have herein set forth is 
not sufficient to enable you to reach a satisfactory 
verdict-does not convince you that the cure of cancer 
at this institution is merely a matter of the patient 
coming under treatment in time-we will gladly send 
you further proof for the asking. 
When possible we prefer that those investigating 
our treatment go personally to interview some of our 
former patients. If you cannot conveniently do this, 
then we urge that you select a number of names of 
persons whose condition seems to have been similar 
to yours, and write them a personal letter. Send them 
a self-addressed and stamped envelope and they will 
answer promptly and fully. 
This will place you in possession of the most 
reliable facts from trustworthy persons, and if you have 
any faith in mankind you will be fully convinced of 
the sterling merits of our treatment. 
You have our most sincere wishes for health, 
happiness and prosperity. It is impossible to wish 
you greater good fortune than that you may soon be
