INTRODUCTION 
■ E HAVE but one object in view in publishing CANCER TRUTHS, 
and that is that by the recording of the facts we have learned, we 
may be able to bring the hope of relief and final recovery to many 
who are now suffering in body and mind. 
The mission, therefore, of this book is one of mercy. Its message is 
directed particularly to those people who are perfectly aware that they have 
Cancer, as well as to those who fear they have, but are uncertain, and are as 
a consequence of this uncertainty, suffering the tortures of mind no one can 
describe who has not been similarly afflicted. 
And so we would say here, at the very beginning, that no matter what 
you may think about Cancer it can be cured, if taken in time And we want 
to devote this book and its message to prove the assertion, so that we may, 
if possible, persuade the person who knows he has Cancer, and the person who 
fears, but is uncertain, to take the matter in hand in time 
In time-how we wish we could make these words mean to you what we 
know they should mean to you. If we could only burn them deep into the 
mind and conscience of every one afflicted or threatened with Cancer, how 
much more good we might be able to do in this world. 
In time-two words that might well be the theme of a series of sermons 
on Cancer. In time-how many people have gone to untimely graves because 
they delayed until it was too late! 
This is the sad side which too often confronts us-but it is not the side 
that we want to dwell upon exclusively. We want to present the hopeful 
side, also. For there is hope, established on a firm foundation. 
It is now twenty years since we decided to devote our entire time and 
attention to the special study and treatment of Cancer. At first we were 
compelled to grope in the dark, with but little definite information to guide 
us, because at that time no one knew very much definitely about Cancer. For 
that reason we failed to cure many cases that came to us for treatment. 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 it various phases, and because we 
have been fortunate in having thousands of patients come to us for treatment, 
giving us the opportunity of a wide range of study and research. 
7  
We are often asked how it is that we are able to cure Cancer without a 
surgical operation, when physicians, almost to a man, will tell you that there 
is no cure for Cancer. 
We attribute our ability to the fact that during all these years we have, 
as we said before, confined our practice and study entirely to the treatment 
of this one disease, and have made a careful and searching study of every 
case treated. So that now when a patient applies to us for examination or 
treatment, we are able to classify the case in a class with many that we have 
treated successfully, and can follow a similar line of treatment, varying the 
treatment, of course, according to the indications, and with improved tech- 
nique we are able to treat the case from day to day to a successful end. 
The remedies we use do not differ materially from those found in the 
various schools of medicine. Our greater success in their use comes from the 
fact that we have made a careful study of the various remedies the different 
schools recommend as being beneficial in the treatment of Cancer, and by 
persistence, determination and carefully watching each case, we reach the 
desired goal. 
We have also been asked why, being regular physicians, we happened 
to select the medicinal or non-surgical treatment of Cancer. We answer that 
by saying: "When we were students in medical college, and attended the 
clinics in three of the largest cities in the country, where the clinical facilities 
at the various city hospitals were equal to any in the world, we were profoundly 
impressed with the appearance of utter hopelessness of the professors or surgeons 
in charge of the clinic whenever a Cancer case was presented for treatment. 
They would appear bewildered for a time, as if lost in deep study, their faces 
the picture of doubt and perplexity, as they seemed to be groping in space 
for something that would bring about the desired relief. But invariably they 
would turn to the class with the remark: 'This is a case of malignancy; I 
am sorry to say it, but our profession has little to offer. The only thing we 
can do is to cut it out; maybe that will help. With the consent of the patient 
we will try; we can promise nothing.' 
Sometimes the consent was obtained, even with no promise of relief. The 
futility of it all impressed us, and we made a special effort to follow up the 
result of these operations to see if surgery really offered no hope, for we had 
at one time entertained ambitions to become great surgeons. 
We were greatly disappointed in finding that in many cases the attempt 
at relief had not only failed to cure, but that the disease returned in a few 
months in an aggravated form, and that then the patient was in a worse con- 
dition, if possible, than if no treatment whatever had been given. 
An ideal was shattered, and we then and there decided that when we 
finished our college course, secured our diploma and license to practice, we 
would devote our efforts toward the finding of some treatment that would 
8  
cure such cases, and not be compelled to advise an operation when cases ol 
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 physicians 
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 greatly reduced. 
Let us, therefore, urge everyone who reads this book, even the doubting 
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 living 
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 en- 
thusiastic 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 writing, 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 eipthelial 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 embroyonic 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 suprarenal 
capsule, and the Deciduoma is composed of a malignant development of placenta. 
The Deciduoma is one of the most malignant tumors. Fortunately, both of 
these tumors are comparatively rare. 
A much more extensive technical classification might be made of the true 
Cancers or Carcinomas, but the above statement will suffice. 
11  
Cause of Cancer 
Cancer is one of those diseases which medical men call a chronic intoxi- 
cation. 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 system 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 appears 
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 per- 
fect 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. 48% of the waste of the body should 
be eliminated through the kidneys. If they are not performing their function 
as they should, the salts in the system are retained, and their retention 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 appear- 
ance of a Cancerous sore or tumor and determines the place of development, 
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 constipation, if the kid- 
neys 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 con- 
clusion, 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 deli- 
cate 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 tempera- 
ments 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 researches 
are exclusively clinical; that is, dealing with cases of human Cancer coming 
under its examination, of practically all varieties, locations and stages of de- 
velopment. 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 conclu- 
sions ■ 
i. 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 irritation, 
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 collar 
in blonde men who lead an outdoor life. 
g. 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. 
i 7. The disease may be slow or rapid in development. 
18. Cancer is a constitutional disease. 
jq. 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 hospitals 
and research institutions, and are frank to confess that nowhere else have 
they found anything equal in scientific value to that which has been discovered 
in Johnson's Pathological Laboratory for Cancer Research. That more 
physicians may profit by this research work, scientific articles are prepared 
from time to time for leading medical journals, and less technical reports 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 institu- 
tion 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 hemoglobin, 
resistance, the amount of the Cancer invasion and the extent of Cancer deple- 
tion. 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 micro- 
scope. This shows the character of the elimination, the extent of the protec- 
tive reaction in retaining the chlor ids 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 
retention in the system of poisonous waste materials which ought to be excreted. 
17  
CORNER IN DRUG AND CHEMICAL ROOM 
18  
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 treat- 
ment 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 con- 
ditions 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 intelligently 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 
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 
19  
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 ex- 
citing causes, without reference to the systemic or constitutional predisposing 
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 discovered 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, and less 
frequently between the nipple and armpit. The latter location is the most 
20  
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 adhere 
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 appearance 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 destruc- 
tive stage is said to begin. 
The early symptoms of Cancer of the Breast are rather obscure, particularly 
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 surrounding the tissues, 
nerves, etc., there is soreness and tenderness on pressure, and the least manipu- 
lation 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 lancinating 
pains, associated with a burning, smarting and itching sensation, with indica- 
tions of the nipple becoming retracted or drawn in. 
When the third stage has fairly developed there will be more or 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. 
21  
STERILIZING ROOM 
22  
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 lymphatic 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, suc- 
cessfully 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 em- 
ployed are superior to the scalpel or surgeon's knife, and that the percentage 
of actual recoveries (patients that really get well, enjoy good health and re- 
main 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 irritation 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, especially 
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 size 
of these dry scales. Finally there is a sticky secretion at the place where the 
23  
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 irritant, 
and, no doubt, hastens the growth of the Cancer. The slight hardening or 
little tumor continues to grow larger; the scab becomes thicker, the secretion 
under it of greater amount, and the edges thicker and more inclined to inflam- 
mation. 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 
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 
24  
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 occa- 
sionally. 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 sensa- 
tion 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 generally 
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 regarded 
with the greatest concern. If the patient has not been under treatment 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 vigorous 
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 por- 
tions of the Face, and for the additional reasons which determine irritation 
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 inter- 
vals for some time. It also develops from warts or moles as well as from other 
sources of irritation. Because of the prominence of the Nose, 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 
25  
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 treat- 
ment 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 fre- 
quently 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 loca- 
tions 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. 
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 
26  
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 spreading 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 treat- 
ment. The time to treat Cancer is when it is young 
Cancer of the Ear 
The External Ear is a very common location for Cancer to make its appear- 
ance. 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 inferior 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. 
27  
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 neglected, 
its cure is a serious matter. 
The earlier 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 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 irri- 
tated 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 ligaments 
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 
becomes 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. 
28  
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 cer- 
tain 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 recoveries is 
not as great as it probably would be under early diagnosis and treatment. 
The all-important thing in the treatment of Cancer, regardless of its loca- 
tion, 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 loca- 
tion 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 con- 
siderable 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 sym- 
pathy 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. 
29  
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 hun- 
dred 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 con- 
clusive 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 common 
salt. The natural condition of the 
liquid part of the blood is .85 per 
cent common salt. This is the con- 
dition under which the red blood 
corpuscles live and carry oxygen to 
the tissues. In a stronger salt solu- 
tion they wrinkle up as shown in the 
picture. 
Figure i 
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 advanced. 
(Continued on Page 32) 
Figure 2

It is by scientific examinations of this kind that the extent of constitu- 
tional invasion of Cancer is determined. It makes possible the proper selec- 
tion of important internal medication in conjunction with local treatment. 
Figure 3 shows the blood of a 
Cancer patient in which all the red 
corpuscles have become weakened 
and depleted so that they will not 
wrinkle up in a 1 per cent, salt solu- 
tion. This is the condition called 
the resistance minima or least re- 
sistance. It is quite commonly 
found in advanced or bad cases of 
Cancer. 
Figure 3 
Figure 4 represents the blood of 
a patient who has been cured of 
Cancer. The picture in Figure 4 
was taken from the blood of the 
same patient as Figure 3. Figure 
3 was made before treatment and 
Figure 4 after treatment when the 
patient was well and ready to re- 
turn home. This blood is also in a 
1 per cent, solution of common salt.

Importance of Internal Medication 
Cancer is one of those diseases which medical men call a chronic intoxi- 
cation-a disease of faulty elimination. It is the local manifestation of a chronic 
alkaline condition due to the retention of organic waste. Carbon dioxide is 
the principle offending material retained. The location of the Cancer is deter- 
mined 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 defi- 
nitely 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 successful 
method. Because of the very nature of the disease it does not permit of any 
argument as to the best means for its successful treatment. And by success- 
ful treatment we mean treatment that not only removes the external Can- 
cerous affection, but also eradicates the cause from the system or blood and 
gives lasting results to the patient. 
The Cancer Commission of the American Association of Progressive Medi- 
cine, 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. Notwith- 
standing this, during the same period of years the mortality of Cancer has 
increased many fold." What are we to think of such a statement 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 con- 
dition of the system that is favorable to the development of Cancer, and that 
the longer the Cancer is present, the greater becomes the constitutional in- 
vasion. 
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 con- 
tended, and our contention has been repeatedly proved by our own work as 
well as by other investigators, that, to treat Cancer successfully, the disease 
must be eradicated by both local and internal medication. 
33  
TREATMENT ROOM NUMBER ONE 
34  
Because of the peculiar constitutional condition incident to the precan- 
cerous and Cancerous state, the Cancer patient is the victim of chronic con- 
stipation, 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 elimina- 
tion 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 irregu- 
larities which is the cause of the Cancer. 
The condition of the blood and tissue juices must be corrected by internal 
medicine. There are a number of well-known remedies which will perform 
this office. They must be carefully selected according to the condition 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 advance- 
ment of the tumor, its rapidity of growth, and the resistance and sensitive- 
ness 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 and effec- 
tive. The same is true of radium. Medical methods are the methods of choice 
35  
PARTIAL VIEW OF THREE OF OUR TREATMENT ROOMS. 
36  
because they are safer, surer, can be controlled, and produce the desired results; 
that is, they cure the Cancer so that it does not return. By medical measures, 
indicated in each individual case, the cancerous 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 treatment 
of Cancer cannot be over-estimated. We venture to say that many curable 
cases of Cancer are not cured because too little importance is attached 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 treatment. 
Thousands of lives are needlessly sacrificed for no other reason than ignorance 
and neglect. There is no reason why the Cancer patient should not seek prompt 
and competent medical services, as do patients who find themselves afflicted 
with some other malady or acute sickness. The usual cause for neglect is due 
to the fact that Cancer does not begin with an attack of severe illness or bodily 
suffering to alarm the patient. For this reason a different attitude toward 
Cancer prevails and occasions many preventable deaths. The unwillingness on 
the part of the patient to admit he has Cancer and to seek expert medical 
advice in time are also difficult obstacles to surmount in the control of the 
disease. 
Proof of 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 treatment 
when the disease first appears. Most of this class of patients could, and cer- 
tainly 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 development, 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 discovered an 
infallible cure for the disease in all its stages of advanced development. When 
cancer once appears, its tendency is to continuously gee worse, slowly or rapidly 
as time goes on. If the disease is not promptly and properly treated and cured, 
37  
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 treatment 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 poisoning 
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 Can- 
cerous tumor or sore appears at a point made weak by injury or continued 
irritation. A refractory 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 recog- 
nized by one who understands their significance. In many instances, however, 
the disease is not suspected by the patient until the symptoms are well pro- 
nounced 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 treatment- 
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 immediately to a legiti- 
mate Cancer specialist, one known to be reliable because of his large practice 
and record of hundreds of cures.

CORNER OF GENTLEMEN'S RECEPTION ROOM 
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 medi- 
cines, 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 em- 
ployed by many physicians as a cure for Cancer. Its employment in the treat- 
ment 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. Notwith- 
standing 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 operators 
using the X-ray, which growths, they say, "Microscopically cannot be distin- 
guished from similar carcinomata (Cancer) of ordinary occurrence." 
In many cases applying to us for treatment, after having been repeatedly 
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 
silver and lead ores. It is a white, crystalline substance with a strong illu- 
40  
minating 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 regarding 
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 treat- 
ment, or it is gradually growing worse under improper treatment or no treat- 
ment 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 undergoing 
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 institution 
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 treat- 
ment in December, and was told by the doctor to return in sixty days for his 
second treatment. Upon presenting 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 refrac- 
tory 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 number 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 valu- 
able 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 recovers 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, that it 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 
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. 
42  
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 development. Because 
of the very nature of the disease, the various changes it undergoes as it pro- 
gresses 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 despite 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 Cancer 
patients succumb to the disease because of no other reason than self-neglect. 
They are indifferent to their affliction in its early stage, even 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 re- 
maining days tolerable to the greatest possible degree. Every unfortunate 
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, regard- 
less of all timely warning, neglect their trouble or fool away so much valuable 
time with ineffective treatment that their disease will reach an incurable con- 
dition. 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 unnecessary 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 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 experi- 
43  
ence 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 treat- 
ment you will be advised immediately following examination 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 successful 
results. In the second class are listed those cases which we believe to be curable, 
but yet a measure of doubt exists; 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 be- 
fore 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 comfort- 
able. 
All dressings, bandages, individual towels, etc., are furnished by us free 
of charge.

some might think I was dead or left

hearty, though I am 86 years old. I

be only too glad to answer all ques-

May the good Lord bless you for

Dear Doctor: 
It is with pleasure that I take this 
opportunity to notify you that I am 
cured. 
I had a sore on my right temple

I had tried many different remedies 
without avail. I was advised to go

To Whom This May Concern: 
I do hereby say that, I believe Dr, 
O. A. Johnson can and will cure can-

of one on my lip in June, 1909. I have 
not seen any signs of anything since. 
There is almost no scar at all, and my 
health has been fine ever since.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
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 commenced 
your treatment on June 5, 1900. On 
July 1 st 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 sufferer and ad- 
vise them to try Dr. Johnson's treat- 
ment, for I feel confident they will not 
regret it. I am willing to certify that 
I believe Dr. Johnson's cures are per- 
manent and I know three others he has 
cured, besides 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 four years, and shows no sign 
of breaking out. I have improved in 
health and strength. I feel that I can- 
not 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 treat- 
ment. 
Yours truly, 
MRS. HELEN KEENEY.

Hardy, Nebr., June 3, 1920. 
To Those Afflicted With Cancer: 
May 3, 1909, I consulted Dr. O. A. 
Johnson of Kansas City, in regard to 
a sore on my lower lip that seemed 
hard to heal. I had doctored 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 in- 
tervals for a few months to make sure 
I was entirely cured. I take constitu- 
tional treatment occasionally, 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 developing 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 dangerous. 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. Johnson 
after you are cured. They are always 
glad to see former patients and can 
thus know how you get 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.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I feel that I would be doing an in- 
justice to you and to suffering human- 
ity if I did not write a statement of my 
case. 
I had a growth on my face that 
caused me trouble, and I had it cut 
out twice and it came back again. 
A friend of mine who had been cured 
of a very bad cancer advised me to go 
to Doctor O. A. Johnson, of Kansas 
City, and I went and am truly glad 
that I did, for my face is entirely well 
and I am feeling well and strong again. 
Yours truly, 
MRS. JENNIE L. NORTHCUTT. 
Believes Dr. Johnson Saved His 
Life 
Box 261, Silverton, Colo., 
May 12, 1920. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I am well and sound as regards my 
cancer, and I have no sign of it com- 
ing back. I think I owe you, Doctor, 
the saving of my life, as the cancer 
soon would have eaten my face off. 
You can publish this in your paper 
and book, as it might help others, as 
I am well known i n this part of the 
country. I will be glad to answer 
anyone writing me about it. 
With the greatest of pleasure, I am 
sir, 
Most sincerely yours,

My Awful Cancer Is Gone 
Route 3, Bentonville, Ark. 
June 1, 1920. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I feel it my duty as well as a pleasure 
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 gladly answer any letters that 
may come to me about my cure and 
Dr. Johnson's treatment. 
Yours respectfully, 
S. MYERS. 
advertisement, so I thought "While 
there is life, there is hope." I went to 
you and the result was a miracle, for

Dr. 0. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Sir: 
It gives me great pleasure to testify 
to the perfect health I have after using 
your wonderful cure for cancer. 
After suffering for months and doc- 
toring with several cancer doctors, also 
the X-ray, I kept getting worse until 
I was a victim of a severe cancer on 
my lower lip, which had also crept into 
the glands of the throat. My friends 
thought I could not live. Nothing 
helped me. A friend sent me your 
Words cannot express how thankful 
I am to you for your kindness to me 
while in your care; also for the treat- 
ment to which I owe my life. 
May you live long for suffering 
humanity, is my wish. 
Yours sincerely, 
OSMAN W. BATES.

Successfully Treated for Cancer 
of the Breast Following Two 
Surgical Operations. 
Will Merit Your Confidence 
Route i, Oakley, Kansas. 
June 5, 1920. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
If my endorsement of your excellent 
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 suf- 
ferer. 
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, professionally 
or in a business way. 
In view of the foregoing my unquali- 
fied recommendation is given. I feel 
sure that Dr. Johnson will never, in 
word or act, abuse the confidence I 
have placed in him. 
Yours very truly, 
A. L. MILLER. 
204 W. Reed St., Red Oak, Iowa. 
June 21, 1920. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I am glad to add my testimonial to 
the many you have received regarding 
the efficiency of your treatment for 
cancer. 
It has now been eleven years since 
you dismissed me as cured of cancer 
of the right breast. The cure has been 
a permanent one, as I consider suffi- 
cient time has elapsed since you dis- 
missed 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 re- 
turning since you said I was cured. 
After having seen our home doctor 
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 treatment 
of cancer, I concluded to try his treat- 
ment, 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 thankful. 
I can recommend Dr. Johnson's, 
treatment to other sufferers from can- 
cer. 
Yours truly, 
MISS ANNA GOOD.

I Feel Satisfied Now That I Am 
Perfectly Cured

Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Sir: 
It is now nearly twelve years since 
I took treatment from you for a tumor, 
or cancer, under my chin. I feel satis- 
fied 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 to- 
ward you, and a sincere desire to bring 
hope and encouragement to those un- 
fortunates afflicted with that terrible 
disease, I am taking this opportunity 
of publicly endorsing your medical 
treatment for cancer. 
I will cheerfully answer all corre- 
spondence directed to me concerning 
the details of the treatment of my case. 
Thanking you for your courteous 
treatment and permanent cure, and 
wishing you continued success, I am, 
Very gratefully yours,

I am. 
I cannot thank Dr. Johnson enough

benefited, is my sincere wish.

Cancer of the Left Breast 
Dudley, Mo., July 1, 1920. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I am very happy to say that my 
cancer is cured, and am feeling well. 
Dr. Johnson cured me of cancer of the 
left breast, and I know he cured others 
that were afflicted as I was. 
I am pleased to give this testimonial 
letter and wish to see all the people

A Most Convincing Letter 
too late. I asked him if he thought 
he could 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 with- 
out 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 I 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 I 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 
I 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 pains- 
taking force of assistants will soon get 
the same idea. That 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 suf- 
ferers to know of you and your great 
treatment. 
Sincerely and truly yours, 
WILLIAM TOOLE.

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 stub- 
born case, and I was with you long 
enough to see several patients come 
and go. It was what I saw and heard 
among them that gives me so much 
confidence in your system of treat- 
ment. 
I remember one man from Kentucky 
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 treat- 
ment, and had been treated by several 
other quacks (as he called them), and 
was afraid he had come to Kansas City

Dear Doctor: 
With great pleasure I send my testi- 
monial to you. 
In 1900 a small sore came on my 
cheek. A doctor who was boarding 
with us said it was a cancer. He pre- 
scribed 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 be- 
came 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 cancer. 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 immediately 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 cancer, when taken out, was the 
size of a fifty-cent piece. 
It has been over seven years since 
the cancer was taken out, and there is 
no sign of it ever returning. 
I advise anyone who has a suspicious 
growth to go to Dr. Johnson and he 
will cure you, as he has cured me and 
many others. 
Anyone wishing information, write

Dear Sir: 
This is to certify that I have been 
treated by Dr. O. A. Johnson of Kan-

ago. 
I am satisfied that I am entirely

I heartily recommend his treatment

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 
20 years, and no sign of the cancer re- 
turning. 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.

Richards, a former patient of yours,

Any time I can help a cancer sufferer

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
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 treat- 
ment 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 like 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 
became 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 1920 (twelve years) it has 
shown no appearance of coming back 
and has never given me any trouble. 
Yours truly, 
JULIUS S. SCHINDORFF. 
Cancer of the Left Breast 
R. i, Genoa, Ark., June 17, 1920. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I am sending you this testimonial, 
which you may use at any time you 
think it will benefit someone suffering 
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 decided to try his 
treatment, which I commenced Octo- 
ber 18, 1916. 
I am sound and well; no pains any- 
where and no appearance of the cancer 
returning. 
Yours truly, 
MRS. M. L. KEMP.

It was in June, 1915, that I went to

Dear Sir and Friend: 
In regard to giving you an endorse- 
ment 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 six years and eleven 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 
feeling better today than ever before. 
Doctor, if you see fit to publish the 
above facts, I am perfectly willing you 
should do so. 
Hoping you will have good success 
in your business, I am,

cured me of cancer on the lower lip. 
The scar is so small that the people 
who don't know me will not notice it. 
Dear Doctor, you will probably re-

you, that many doctors had tried to 
cure my lip, but failed to do so. If I

cancers; but, as I cannot do that, I 
will gladly answer any letters that

Dear Doctor: 
I received a letter from you a few

results in my case. 
I firmly and conscientiously believe 
that my eye is perfectly cured by the 
treatment I received from you in No- 
vember, 1917. 
Dr. Johnson, and if there is anything 
that can be done, he and his able staff 
will take care of you. 
May God spare your life and give 
you health that you may continue the 
good work. 
I give you permission to refer any- 
one suffering from cancer to me, and 
I will gladly tell them what I know of 
you and your treatment. 
Give my best wishes to all, especially 
to Miss Patterson, who was my nurse. 
Mr. Lust, myself and family send 
best wishes to all. 
Respectfully yours, 
MRS. ED. L. LUST. 
I cannot say too much in praise of 
your institution, your treatment and 
your staff of help. 
The cancer you cured for me was on 
the left eye, extending from the bridge 
of the nose to the lid of my eye. There 
is nothing left but the scar, and that 
doesn't bother me. I feel now that I 
can safely recommend your treatment 
as a genuine and permanent cure for 
cancer.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I feel that I am permanently cured 
of my cancer trouble. In August, 
1917, I came to your place in Kansas 
66  
City. I had almost given up hope, 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 institute 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. 
With my very best regards to all of 
your doctors and attendants, whose 
many kindnesses I have not forgotten, 
Mrs. Poage joins me in very best wishes 
to yourself. 
Yours very truly,

It has now been eleven years since

symptoms of return whatever and am 
enjoying perfect health. I feel now 
like I am permanently cured. 
I cannot speak too highly of your 
method of curing cancer, and anyone 
afflicted with one I would advise to 
consult you before treating them, for 
if they can be cured at all you certainly 
can do the work. 
Wishing you all success, I am.

I was troubled with them six years. 
I am very thankful to state that Dr.

Percy, Iowa, May 22, 1920. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
As the years go by with no signs of 
a recurrence of that most malignant 
disease, cancer, with which I was 
afflicted, words fail me in the expres- 
sion 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 annoyed me 
considerably and which, upon ex- 
amination, proved to be an epithel- 
ioma cancer. I was treated by a local 
physician for more than a year, during 
which time he pronounced it cured; 
but in a short time it returned and 
rapidly increased 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 
eleven years, I feel positive that Dr. 
Johnson's medical treatment has per- 
manently cured me, and heartily 
recommend it to any who are afflicted 
with cancer. 
I would be glad to answer any 
correspondence from anyone suffering 
from cancer who is desirous of knowing 
the details of my cure. 
Thanking you again for your kind-

cured for me, for there was a crop of

I am now all right. I took your 
treatment about eleven or twelve years 
ago and am all right today. You cured 
me of a very bad case. I do thank the

He has sent such a good doctor. 
You may use my name in your book

You have cured many persons in

Dear Doctor: 
I am so well pleased with your ser- 
vices, and having such intimate know- 
ledge 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 dis- 
charging and gave me considerable 
annoyance by a clawing, crawling and 
burning sensation. 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. Hodson 
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 treat- 
ment. One man came in about a week 
after I did who had a cancer just like 
mine and in the same place.- I have 
since learned that he was cured, as

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

Dr. 0. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Friend and Doctor: 
After thirteen 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 treat- 
ment, and each day, until the 1st of 
July, I was at his office. After return- 
ing 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 entirely healed and perfectly 
normal. 
I saw many cases of cancer while 
taking my treatment that were cured, 
and I can only give Dr. Johnson my 
highest praise and commendation, 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 phy- 
sician of marked ability. 
Wishing him the best of success and 
ever ready to give my heartiest sup- 
port and praise for his work, I am, 
Sincerely,

Dear Doctor: 
It was the latter part of September, 
1914, that I came to you for treatment 
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 can- 
cer had been cut twice within three 
months, but neither time did I get any 
lasting benefit. I was made happy 
when you said you could cure me, and 
you did just what you said you would. 
I had confidence in you, Doctor, be- 
cause 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 suf- 
ferers to go to you for treatment. I 
am sure you will treat them right and 
cure them if they will give you a fair 
chance. 
If anyone writes to me, please have 
them send a self-addressed and 
stamped envelope, and I will gladly 
verify this statement. 
Yours respectfully, 
MRS. M. J. TUCKER.

sore had entirely healed, leaving only

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
Wishing the afflicted to know of my 
permanent cure of cancer, I make the 
following statement, which may be of 
interest to you, and also to those who 
may be anxious to get cured of cancer. 
In the winter of 1902 there appeared 
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 grad- 
ually developed into an unhealing sore. 
I am now past 72 years old and in 
excellent health. Many thanks to you, 
Doctor, for same. I will ever praise 
your treatment, and will appreciate 
the opportunity to recommend same to 
anyone suffering with cancer. 
I will answer any question in regard 
to my case that anyone wishes to ask. 
Very truly yours, 
J. N. HODSON. 
I consulted many physicians about 
my case. Some would tell me that it 
was epithelioma cancer, and would add 
that by the use of the knife sometimes 
they could rid the patient of cancer. 
To our knowledge, where the knife was 
used, they had invariably 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 medi- 
cal treatment, my cancer was killed

Dear Doctor: 
Almost four years have passed since 
you removed the cancer from my 
breast, and for the benefit of others 
afflicted as I was, I want to tell you 
that there has not been any return of 
the trouble, and I am well and able to 
do any kind of work I ever did. I 
regard your treatment fully satisfac- 
tory.

Logan, Iowa, June 1, 1920. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Sir: 
I am indeed very thankful to be able 
to state to the people that Dr. O. A. 
Johnson can cure cancer. My advice 
is: Go to Dr. Johnson as soon as you 
know you have a cancer started. It 
takes less time to get them cured. I 
had a cancer started on my lower lip 
and went and stayed with the Doctor 
three weeks in February, 1911, came 
home and have worked every day since. 
I think my lip is cured. Anyone wish- 
ing to hear from me can write to me 
and I will be sure to praise Dr. John- 
son'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, 
JAMES E. HALL. 
Two of My Neighbors Were Cured 
By Dr. Johnson. 
Runnells, Iowa, June i, 1920. 
To Whom It May Concern: 
Will say I had cancer on the lower 
lip for four years. I consulted several 
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. John- 
son, and he has a fine lot of nurses and 
helpers, who showed me every kind- 
ness. 
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 doctor. 
Yours truly,

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 pro- 
longing 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

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 I took your treatment and 
has now been cured six years. 
I think your method of treating can-

Dear Doctor: 
Please excuse me for not writing you 
sooner. My intentions were good, but 
I neglected it for one reason 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. I hope, and believe, it is a per- 
manent cure. 
I am 80 years old. The cancer on 
my face had been coming three years. 
I arrived at your place ready for treat- 
ment February 14, 1918, and returned 
home March 15, 1918. I consider I 
was very fortunate in getting cured so 
nicely and in such short time. I have 
no regrets except that I did not hear 
of you before I did. I might just as

Dear Doctor: 
It has been over two years since I 
took treatment at your office for the 
cancer under my right eye. I am very 
proud to say that I feel confident the 
treatment I received is very success- 
ful, as up to the present time there are 
no symptoms whatever 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 consult with 
you before taking other treatment. 
Thanking you again, I am,

my doctors told me that my only hope 
was in further operations. 
I started your treatment and found 
that the left breast was by this time 
also infected, so you treated the breast

both places and entirely healed up, but 
I was in such a run-down condition 
that I took your tonic for some time 
afterwards. I continued to build up,

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 circumstances 
of my case. 
You will probably remember that 
when I first wrote you, fifteen years 
ago this fall, I had the right breast re- 
moved 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 appeared 
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 
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 operation 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,

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 eleven years since 
you cured me of epithelioma Genitalis 
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 
permanent character. 
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 in- 
tense, almost unbearable, physical and 
mental suffering I endured previous to 
calling at your office. 
Most heartily do I commend your 
medical treatment for the'cure of can- 
cer, and I would earnestly advise all 
persons afflicted with cancer to call on 
you without a minute's unnecessary 
delay, and take your treatment until 
cured. 
You may refer to me anyone afflicted 
with cancer as I was, and I will cheer- 
fully give him a detailed description of 
my case and its cure by your treat- 
ment. You also have my permission 
to publish this letter if you see fit to 
do so. 
Again thanking you for the cure you

My Dear Friend: 
It is more than six 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 pro- 
cess of it. In three weeks my cancer 
was out and I could go home. I am 
rid of it and I know it will never come 
back. 
My dear Doctor, I think I will come 
and visit you this fall. 
With best regards, I am, 
Your dear friend,

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 con- 
cerning Dr. Johnson's treatment, they 
are at liberty to do so, and I will gladly 
answer.

You will remember that it is seven 
years ago last winter that I went to 
you to be treated for varicose ulcers 
on my ankles, which had been running 
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. John- 
son, 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

Dear Doctor: 
I am glad to hear from you. I went 
to you August, 1917, with cancer on 
my right temple, it having been pro- 
nounced so by other doctors. You 
treated me with your treatment and 
cured it sound and well. It has given 
me no trouble since. You also cured 
others while I was there, so I feel yours 
is the best treatment, that you are per- 
fect in your cures. I was with you a 
little over seven weeks. The cancer on 
my temple was two inches wide. 
I can recommend you to any person 
that has a cancer. 
Yours with love and best wishes.

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 any- 
one suffering from cancer, and will ad- 
vise them to apply to you for treat- 
ment. 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 acci- 
dent several years before treatment. 
I have talked with others, and they 
state that their trouble started from a 
similar cause. I think any one meet- 
ing with an accident 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 fourteen 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 disease I had 
been treated for and gotten well. 
I think you are a God-send to suffer- 
ing humanity, and will gladly answer 
any inquiries concerning your treat- 
ment of my case. 
Yours respectfully, 
MRS. J. W. HIGGINS

they never saw me look better.

I Can Say Your Treatment Is 
Perfectly Satisfactory.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Dr. Johnson: 
I am pleased to testify to your ability 
to cure cancer. 
I had a cancer on the left side of my 
nose. It had been troubling me for at 
least six years. I was doctored for two 
years by the best doctors in this 
vicinity, but, instead of growing better, 
it gradually grew worse. 
At last one day I picked up a paper 
containing your advertisement, and I 
immediately decided to come to you 
for treatment. After having five treat- 
ments, 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 20 
years, I wish to say that the results of 
your treatment are perfectly satisfac- 
tory in every way. 
I can heartily recommend your treat-

Dear Doctor: 
It was three 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 removed 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. 
Johnson 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.

Dear Doctor: 
I was a sufferer from a cancer on my 
lower lip. I tried several remedies, 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 
fifteen 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

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
Yours of the nth received, and I 
must say I sure appreciate the treat- 
ment that I received while at your in- 
stitution. As to my health I don't 
believe I ever felt better in years and 
hope it still keeps up. Have gained 
nineteen pounds since coming home. 
I commenced your treatment the 
first day of September, 1917, and was 
under daily care till the 21st of the 
following month, October. 
I received your picture and calendar, 
81  
Large Cancer Back of Hand. 
have never forgotten since taking treat- 
ment from you for cancer on my left 
breast thirteen years ago last January. 
Prior to the time I went to see and 
consult you, I had been troubled con- 
stantly for four or five years, and at 
times quite severely, from nervousness, 
itching, burning and drawing sensa- 
tions that were not only annoying, but 
very painful. Notwithstanding 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 occa- 
sions, 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 decided 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 pleas- 
ing 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 ex- 
pected to continue the same treatment 
while I remained with you. You re- 
plied the treatment 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 condition 
carefully and accurately each week, 
when you sent a change or addition to 
Calmar, Iowa, June 1, 1920.

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 was five 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 77 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.

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, nevertheless, I

the treatment; and two weeks from 
that time I called on you. 
Up to the present time, which is 
thirteen and a half years ago, I have 
not had an hour's uneasiness or trouble. 
I don't mean to say I felt myself cured 
in two weeks, but did feel a wonderful 
relief from the nervousness, 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 
symptoms 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, however, 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. 
a few minutes. It is perfectly well 
and only left a very small white line. 
It is five 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 removed 
three years ago, and it is well and 
never gives her any trouble. She is 
81 years old. 
I would advise anyone that has can- 
cer, 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.

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 know- 
ing I had a cancer. My health is good, 
and I will always feel grateful for the 
kind attention 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 insti-

Dr. 0. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
In answer to your request for a letter 
from me, regarding the treatment 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 examined 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 decided to go through 
the ordeal for their sake. While pre- 
paring to return 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 in- 
stead of Chicago. I arrived in Decem- 
ber 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 inquiring 
regarding my case and the efficient 
treatment you gave me. 
Respectfully, 
MRS. J. B. CRAWFORD. 
remaining the same size for about two 
years, it became inflamed and gave me 
much pain. I also suffered mental 
anxiety, for I did not believe cancer 
could be cured. I was given treat- 
ment by a cancer doctor, and was not 
benefited. I also took a month's treat- 
ment from Dr. Johnson. As I had no 
confidence 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 thirteen years 
ago. I have had no return of the 
disease.

was busy and had to get back to town. 
I have and shall continue to direct 
all cancer patients to Dr. O. A. John- 
son for a safe and sure cure and kind 
treatment. I would not know I ever 
had a cancer except for the little scar. 
I receive your paper, Doctor, and 
enjoy 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.

May 27, 1920. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
To whom this may be of interest I 
will say that it was five years last 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 itch- 
ing sensation and I would keep rub- 
bing 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 morn- 
ing 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

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

speak a good word for you.

cancer is merely a matter of the patient 
going under your treatment 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 state- 
ment it will gladly be verified per- 
sonally by myself and neighbors who 
know of my former affliction and cure. 
Or, if you can't call to see me person- 
ally, 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 patients 
the blessings of relief from pain and 
complete cure, I am,

Dear Doctor: 
About four 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 advised 
to take his treatment, so on December 
3, 1917, I began his treatment, and in 
five weeks went home cured, and there 
is no sign of its return. 
I have nothing but good words to 
say of Dr. Johnson and his able staff 
of helpers, and feel it a privilege to 
recommend him to all cancer sufferers. 
I am 83 years old and enjoying good 
health. 
Yours truly,

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I am very happy to give you my 
endorsement of your cancer treatment. 
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 treat- 
ment. After six weeks' treatment you 
dismissed me as cured. I am satisfied 
now that I have received a permanent 
cure, and, consequently, I can recom- 
mend your treatment to others. My 
earnest advice to anyone afflicted is to 
go to you at once. They will be ex- 
tended every hospitality and receive 
what is undoubtedly the best cancer 
treatment known. From my observa- 
tion while I was at your institution it 
was plainly evident that the cure of

Dr. O. A. Johnson,

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 doc- 
tors 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 treat- 
ment four weeks, and can say that I 
am permanently cured. 
I can never thank Dr. Johnson 
enough for curing me. 
Yours very truly,

could do as much for me, and he did, 
and I thank heaven 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.

they will ever return.

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 permanent. 
I give you the privilege to publish this 
letter of testimony anywhere 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. Johnson, and in 
six weeks I was entirely cured. That 
was three years ago (came under treat- 
ment 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 any- 
one with any form of cancer, and will 
gladly give an answer to all inquiring 
sufferers who write me.

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

with Dr. Johnson, and I consider I am

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

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 any- 
one 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 I ate distressed me, 
nor did I have any appetite to eat any- 
thing. At times I 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 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 
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 Octo- 
88  
treatment, and I am now so thankful 
that I did, for I received wonderful 
results. You did not only improve me, 
but I think I can faithfully 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 well 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 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 treatment 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 experi- 
ence 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,

Dr. O. A. Johnson,

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 remain, as

and it first began to show about ten 
years before I went to you. 
Now that more than five years have 
past since you treated us, I think we 
are safe in recommending your treat- 
ment 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 
anything 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 institution 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- 
cess, Doctor, with all your patients, 
and rest assured that we will co-operate 
with you in every way we can in the 
interest of those who want to be cured. 
Yours very truly,

Dear Doctor: 
I willingly give my endorsement of 
your treatment for cancer, and, in so 
doing, I hope it will be of encourage- 
ment 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 treatment the fore- 
noon of April 8, 1915, and was dis- 
missed 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 pro- 
nounced in excellent condition. I in- 
variably found the doctors and nurses 
busy with many patients, and it was 
evident they were doing much good 
for those who were fortunate enough 
to go for treatment in time. 
I was 60 years old at the time of my 
treatment. I went through the treat- 
ment nicely and experienced no serious 
discomfort. Others can be just as for- 
tunate as I was if they don't wait too 
long before going to see Dr. Johnson. 
I will be glad to verify this statement 
in a personal letter to anyone if he will 
send an addressed and stamped envel- 
ope. 
If you have cancer I hope you will 
go to Dr. Johnson just as soon as you 
can. 
Yours truly, 
J. W. WOODHOUSE.

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. Johnson for them- 
selves. 
Yours truly,

I Was Never Treated Nicer or Ever 
Given Better Care Than I Was 
by Dr. Johnson and His Nurses. 
R. F. D. i, South Greenfield, Mo. 
June 3, 1920. 
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 before 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 my- 
self with his medicine. 
I can say I am cured of the cancer 
and it left but little scar. My general 
health is better than it has been for a 
long time. That has been nearly eight 
years ago and no sign of it returning. 
I thank God that I went to Dr. John- 
son 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 treatment. 
He can cure you if you don't wait too 
long. 
God bless Dr. Johnson and his treat- 
ment. 
Yours sincerely,

The Evidence Was Enough To 
Satisfy.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
It has been three 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 surprised 
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. 
You are at liberty to use this as a 
testimonial if you wish. I will cer- 
tainly answer all inquiries willingly.

I take pleasure in saying that the

Dr. O. A. Johnson,

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 any serious trouble until the last 
year. My husband's cancer was in his 
left temple. It came from a birth- 
mark. 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. 
Respectfully, 
MRS. J. H. HAWORTH. 
everybody to go in time and not wait 
too long. If 1 should have a dozen or 
more to cure I would go right straight

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 November, 1909, 
and stayed three weeks and had a 
cancer cured on my left cheek. In 
1911 I had to go back and have one 
cured on my right cheek. I will warn

good health.

With best wishes to Dr. Johnson and 
his staff of assistants for all time. 
MRS. SUSAN HOOPES. 
Wilson, Kansas, May 25, 1920. 
To Whom It May Concern: 
I will write to benefit the afflicted 
like I was. I knew not where to go 
for help until my daughter wrote to 
Dr. O. A. Johnson of Kansas City, Mo. 
It certainly does my heart good to 
know that our Father in Heaven made 
preparation for His afflicted people in 
this world to be relieved of such an 
affliction as I had. For more than five 
years I suffered with cancer of the left 
breast. Not one of my friends ever 
thought 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 satis- 
faction 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 Philadelphia to 
the doctors, and could find no one that 
could cure her. The poor man sure 
felt bad, for they tried everything any- 
one 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 fea- 
tures. They sure would have gone to 
Kansas City if Dr. Johnson had been 
found. I sincerely hope if there is 
another poor sufferer in the world like 
that someone will be found to carry 
Dr. Johnson's name to them. 
Nothing But Highest Praise. 
Kingsville, Mo., May 24, 1920. 
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 phy- 
sician, whom I had consulted for an- 
other ailment, I went to Dr. Johnson 
to have the cancer removed. This was 
in October, 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 notice- 
able except by close examination. 
I have nothing but the highest praise 
for Dr. Johnson and his assistants. I 
could not have been treated with 
greater respect and courtesy, and, in 
view of this and my cure, I gladly in- 
dorse their institution and recommend 
it to anyone who may have need of 
cancer treatment. 
I was 66 years old when I was 
treated. The treatment did not in- 
capacitate 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. John- 
son at once if you have cancer. He 
will cure you if you go in time. 
Yours truly, 
WASHINGTON LONG.

To All Who Suffer From Cancer: 
I wish to state that I had been 
afflicted with that dread disease, can-

allopath doctors and they cautioned 
me not to go to a specialist for treat- 
ment. 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 Kansas 
City, Mo., stating that he treated can- 
cer successfully. I wrote him; he 
answered, sending me a pamphlet of 
references. I wrote several of those 
who had been successfully treated and 
cured, all the way from two to twelve 
years ago.

in regard to the facts stated above, by 
writing me I will give them; but go to

Dear Sir: 
That I may be helpful to other can- 
cer sufferers, I wish publicly to recom- 
mend 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. John- 
son 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

After trying local physicians during 
that time with no success, I was finally 
persuaded to go to him. In Decem- 
ber, 1913, I went to see him, and in 
January, 1914, I commenced his treat- 
ment. In ten days the cancer was en- 
tirely removed, root and branches, so 
that it has given me no trouble since. 
I have been instrumental in getting 
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 answer all 
inquiries.

growing worse under this doctor's 
treatment, and was advised to have my 
cancer cut out. To this I would not 
consent. I then tried another remedy, 
which also proved a failure. I next 
heard of Dr. Johnson and went to his 
office in Kansas City, Mo., on August 
5, 1907, and came home cured Septem- 
ber 20, 1907. 
Now, after thirteen 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 sufferer 
to go to Dr. Johnson at once, for I feel 
and know he can cure them, if there 
is any cure to be had, even though 
others have failed. 
With best wishes for your success, 
I am, 
Yours truly, 
JOHN PETERS.

Dear Sir: 
It is fifteen 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 treat- 
ment 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 thirteen years ago next

its return and is only a very little scar.

My Dear Sir: 
Almost ten years ago now I noticed 
a fleshy growth on my eyeball just a 
little outside the iris. In a few weeks 
it was as large as a pea and partially 
on the iris. After about two months' 
treatment by others, some of whom 
were specialists, who made five dif- 
ferent attempts to remove the abnor- 
mal 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 dis- 
appeared, leaving a small hole in the 
eyeball, which soon closed up and left 
the eye apparently as sound as ever to 
this day, convincing me that your 
method is milder, safer and surer than 
any other treatment of which I have 
any knowledge. 
You and your attendants are to be 
highly complimented and recom- 
mended for your careful and skillful 
work, as well as for the effectual reme- 
dies you have compounded for the cure 
of cancer and other ailments of hu- 
manity that you are treating.

heart to all concerned, I am,

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

do so, and I will answer any and all 
inquiries the best I can.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I just received your letter and will 
hasten to let you know about the can- 
cer you cured for me about seven 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 lini- 
ment would not do any good. I was 
treated for a year and the cancer got 
so I thought I would have to try some- 
one 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 treatment 
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 any- 
one.

Dear Doctor: 
Twenty-four years ago I discovered 
a growth inside of my right cheek, and 
for some time paid but little attention 
to it. It would be very sore and pain- 
ful 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 treat- 
ment. The result of your medical 
treatment was very satisfactory, as 
there has never been any sign of a 
return of the cancer. 
It is now over twelve 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. 
Yours truly, 
MRS. J. C. MUIR. 
going to take your treatment. Two of 
them advised me to have it cut out, 
and that immediately. The other said 
the only sure cure was to go to Chicago 
and have the X-ray used. 
I knew one of our neighbours was 
a patient of yours. He recommended 
your treatment to me, and I saw what 
it had done for him. 
I will be only too glad to answer any 
letters to give the afflicted information 
of your institution. I have answered 
several letters giving the inquirer en- 
couragement. 
I don't think one need fear cancer 
as they once did, for I know if there

Would Not Submit to Second 
Operation. Treated by Us 17 
Years Ago and Is Well Today. 
I suffered from a cancerous growth 
under my left eye, and had been treat- 
ing under several doctors for some time 
with no satisfactory improvement 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. Johnson 
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 nine years ago. There is prac- 
tically no scar on my face and no ap- 
pearance of the growth returning. 
I would like to say a word of grati- 
tude for Dr. Johnson and his efficient 
force of assistants while under their 
care and treatment. I do heartily 
recommend Dr. Johnson'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 doctor 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 seventeen 
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.

or three doctors in regard to it, but 
they advised me to leave it alone until 
200 W. 8th St., Deming, N. Mex.

Dr. 0. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
Your letter received. I am glad to 
inform you that your treatment for my 
cancers proved very successful. I had, 
for several years, what I believed were 
malignant sores on my nose and ear. 
I tried many kinds of remedies, and 
finally consulted my home doctor, who 
employed remedies and also the X-ray, 
but I rapidly grew worse. Then I con- 
sulted 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 read- 
ing it, I decided to go to you for treat- 
ment. After a careful examination, 
you told me you could cure me in eight 
weeks. That was October, 1915, and 
before Christmas I came home com- 
pletely cured. 
Words cannot express how grateful 
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 physician 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 answer, 
hoping I may be the means of others 
finding a cure as I did. I am seventy- 
six years of age and I am enjoying good 
health. 
With many kind wishes for your 
success, I am, 
Yours very truly, 
MRS. C. A. KAISER. 
further development. It finally began 
growing so rapidly I became alarmed 
about it and went to doctor for treat- 
ment. He said he could cure it, and 
treated me regularly for twelve months 
with no success. 
I then heard of Dr. Johnson and his 
great cancer cure. I went to him for 
treatment, and have never regretted 
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 thirteen 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 Dr. 
Johnson's treatment as the safest and 
most certain for the permanent cure of 
cancer. Very truly, 
MRS. M. E. JOHNSON.

Deep Seated Cancer on Lower 
Lip Treated 16 Years Ago. 
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 read- 
ing the testimonials 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 epithelioma, 
or skin cancer. 
I am now 77 years old and in fairly 
good health. I am very thankful for 
the cure you have performed by your 
medical treatment, which will be ten 
years ago next October, and I wish all 
people suffering from cancer could 
know of your treatment and go to you 
instead of having the knife used. 
Yours truly,

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 people you 
cured of such bad cases gave me en- 
couragement, because I believed what 
they said, so I decided to try you. 
I went to you for treatment sixteen 
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, 
JOHN PETRY.

You have been so successful in curing

From my own experience I know what 
it means to the cancer sufferer to have 
reliable proof of a physician's skill and 
ability to cure this disease.

As A Last Straw I Went to Con- 
sult Dr. Johnson. 
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 epi- 
thelioma, or skin cancer. He also said 
it was one of the slowest cancers get- 
ting a start, but when it did it would 
go after a fellow like a hungry bear. 
I 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 Septem- 
ber 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. I stayed with Dr. Johnson 
seven weeks and then came home, and 
it is sound and well now. 
I would advise those who are af- 
flicted with cancer to never have a 
knife used, or the X-ray, if they want 
to live. Do not wait for the last straw 
to grab at, but go at once and consult 
Dr. Johnson. 
I will say, in conclusion, that I am 
not financially interested in Dr. John- 
son, but I can truly say that I never 
had dealings with a more honorable 
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 dis- 
appointed) that my cancer would come 
back in eight years, or less; that I was 
not cured. It has been nearly eleven 
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 consult Dr. 
Johnson at once, as that is where I 
found a cure, and I hope you may be 
as fortunate. 
Respectfully yours, 
JOHN D. FORTNER. 
Windsor, Ill., April 26, 1920. 
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 institu- 
tion, and give suffering humanity a 
short history of my case. 
About 1904 there appeared a small 
place on the left side of my nose, about 
one-half inch from the end. It was 
very tender, especially if I happened 
to hurt it. I used vaseline and other 
simple remedies, but it gradually got 
larger. About three years after it 
commenced I saw an advertisement of 
red clover, or extract 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 pre- 
pared 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 can- 
cer cure, and several testimonials 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 decided not to 
let any doctor cut it out. I went to 
Lovington, Illinois, to consult 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 
benefited, and the doctor seemed to 
think so also, but I finally concluded 
I was mistaken. I asked the doctor 
what he thought about cutting the 
place out, and he said there was not a 
doctor living that could cut that out 
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-

one can make a mistake to put their 
case in your hands, for I believe that 
if their case is at all curable your treat- 
ment will be a success. 
Wishing you a long life and that you 
will be able to continue relieving suffer- 
ing humanity, as you have during the 
past that I have known you, I beg to 
remain,

is cured. I went to you with cancer 
on my cheek in May, 1908. I will be 
85 years old my next birthday. 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.'

Three of My Home Doctors 
Said Let It Go.

June 4, 1920. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
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 February, 
1911, and stayed with him three weeks 
and came home cured. It has been 
nine 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. 
It Has Now Been 15 Years Since 
You Dismissed Me As Cured 
of Cancer of the Rectum. 
Vernon, Colo., May 21, 1920. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Dr. Johnson: 
It has now been 15 years since you 
dismissed me as cured of cancer of the 
rectum. I had been suffering from that 
trouble for about eighteen months be- 
fore going to you for treatment. 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, 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 any- 
one who may wish to communicate 
with me in regard to your treatment. 
I am perfectly satisfied with the results 
of the treatment, and I feel that no

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 dis- 
charged 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 advised 
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. Presently the Doctor came in, 
examined my face carefully, gave first 
treatment, and on the 1 ith 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 
dissatisfied patient, but all praised Dr. 
Johnson and his most humane treat- 
ment. 
I would advise anyone who is suffer- 
ing to lose no time, but go to Dr. John- 
son 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 inquiry 
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 lan- 
guage to make this letter more appeal- 
ing 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. John- 
son, that your life may be saved. 
Yours respectfully, 
J. D. SMITH.

Dear Doctor: 
Fifteen years ago I was afflicted with 
cancer on my left ear. The physicians 
pronounced it cancer. I went to Kan-

eight days. The ninth day the cancer 
came out. It was as large as a black 
walnut. I am now 77 years of age. 
The cancer has never given me any 
trouble since I was treated 15 years 
ago, and I don't think it ever will. 
It will give me pleasure to answer all 
who will write to me, so I can tell them 
what Dr. O. A. Johnson has done for 
me and others that I am personally 
acquainted with, and what he can do 
for you. 
My last advice to those who have 
cancer is not to wait too long. Putting 
off and waiting is why so many have 
lost their lives.

About July or August, 1915, I

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-

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 
fourteen 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 experience 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 sufferer, 
I pray them not to be butchered. In- 
stead 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 success, I remain,

My Dear Sir: 
I 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 Sep- 
tember 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 Kansas 
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.

I want to write you again in praise 
of your cancer treatment. I was

good-bye, as I didn't know whether I 
would ever see them again or not. 
I landed at Kansas City, April 5, 
1908, and went direct to Dr. Johnson'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 I think I have a right to praise 
Dr. Johnson and his treatment, don't 
you? 
So now, kind friends, I do hope and 
pray that all who suffer from cancer

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 twelve years ago, 
I left home, bidding friends and family 
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 establishment. 
As ever, your friend,

which had been there about twelve 
years. 
Mr. Pope took your treatment and 
was cured seven years ago of a growth

been any symptoms of coming back 
since I was treated in December, 1913. 
I suffered for 5 years before taking 
your treatment. One day my daughter 
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 daughter's husband, 
G. T. Wright, knew that Mr. G. C. 
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 cured.

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

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

Dear Doctor: 
To anyone that has cancer I would 
recommend that they see Dr. O. A. 
Johnson of Kansas City, Mo., for treat- 
ment. 
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

too highly for the kind treatment he 
shows his patients, and I believe him 
to be a gentleman.

treatment, but it only made the sore 
grow larger. 
My physician then advised an opera- 
tion. 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. Johnson

those suffering from cancer that you

of other patients being treated there, 
I am confident you can cure cancer

My experience is that cancer can be 
cured. I can say that I am cured. I

Dear Doctor: 
I take great pleasure in giving my 
testimonial to be placed in your book 
if, by doing this, I may be of help to 
anyone suffering from the terrible 
disease, cancer. 
Dr. Johnson cured me almost eleven 
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 ad- 
vising 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.

Dear Doctor: 
It was six years last December since 
I was with you for treatment for can- 
cer in my left breast. I am pleased 
to say that it has never given me any 
further trouble. I consider that I am 
perfectly cured, and think my health 
is as good as most ladies of my age, 
which is 83 years. 
I want to thank you again for your 
attention to me while I was with you, 
and for your good treatment. I never 
have forgotten to recommend you to 
every one I come in contact with, and 
will continue to do so. 
Mr. Roberts, my neighbor, is very 
much pleased with your treatment of 
his case, and thinks of making you a 
visit soon. 
Thanking you again and wishing you 
success, I am, as ever,

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 swollen and hard. 
As I had tried so many treatments 
and all failed, was greatly discouraged.

One Word in Regard to the Knife. 
but, Oh, my God, what poor cancer 
doctors they were! 
Now, dear friend, I do not want to 
cast any reflection on this class of 
physicians. They are great, good and 
grand men, but how do they expect to 
compete with a cancer specialist? One 
has two or three cases of cancer in a 
lifetime; the other has from twenty- 
five to fifty patients coming under his 
observation daily. 
One word in regard to the knife: 
Oh, man, shun it as you would a viper! 
Once in a great while you see one who 
has been operated on and is well, but 
the facts are they never had cancer. 
Show me a well developed cancer that 
has been cured by the knife, and re- 
mained fully cured for two to eighteen 
years, and I will show you a white 
crow.

Honeoye Falls, N.Y., June 4, 1920. 
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 January, 
1916, cured the cancer and it was all 
healed in about four weeks with but 
little scar. I suffered but little pain 
from the treatment. No knife was 
used. 
Would say to all who have cancer 
go at once-do not wait-to Dr. O. A. 
Johnson at Kansas City, and he will 
cure you if the cancer is not too far 
advanced. 
Will be glad to answer any one who 
wishes to write me in regard to the 
matter.

it painful? When I tell them that 
patients, while I was there, went to 
theatres, parks, stock yards, the new 
depot, that a patient was built up from 
the start instead of being run down, 
they seemed surprised that such could 
be possible in treating and curing can- 
cer. It looks to me like criminal negli- 
gence 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 afflicted 
with cancer to go to Dr. Johnson and 
get cured, I will feel well paid.

My Dear Doctor: 
It is seven 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 suspicious 
and skeptical. I got one of Dr. John- 
son's books and thought, here is some- 
thing tangible; it shows results; it 
asks anyone afflicted with cancer to 
verify for themselves any statement 
therein. 
Cancer on the lip is the worst place 
one can develop. A man without a 
good lip don't amount to much. If a 
person looked me in the face I thought 
he was looking at the tormented thing. 
I tried to grow hair enough to hide it, 
but it got so big I couldn't. I knew 
no one wanted to drink after me, or 
liked to eat with me. 
I was talking with a man, the other 
day, who told me he had paid out one 
thousand dollars for treatment and 
was no better than when he com- 
menced. Why don't you go to Dr. 
Johnson? I asked. "Don't see how I 
can get away from home and leave 
business,'' was his answer. 
I am asked questions like this: Does

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
My Dear Doctor: 
I thought I would write you a few 
lines to let you know that the cancer 
you and your assistants cured for me 
in the summer of 1905 is still well, with 
no sign of its returning. 
Now, dear Dr. Johnson, as you may 
want to publish a statement of my case 
in your book, I will give it for the 
benefit of all who may chance to see 
the same who might be afflicted as I 
was with that awful disease, cancer. 
My cancer first started to develop 
itself in the summer of 1903. It started 
from a sunburn on the edge and inside 
of my lower lip. I got bad in a very 
short time. I was doctored by three 
good home doctors, 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, I 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 
79 years. 
I must say that I believe Dr. 0. A. 
Johnson is a perfect gentleman and a 
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.

I see in your book the testimonial and

Replying to yours of the 14th in 
regard to the cure of the cancer on my 
left breast which you removed ten

have been no signs of a return of the 
trouble; no suspicious symptoms so

I am in excellent flesh and good

consider myself entirely cured of the

I went under your treatment it was 
all cured and healed up, with hardly

cured and no symptoms of any kind

I can recommend your treatment to

Cancer of Breast. 
Jonesburg, Mo., May 19, 1920 
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 eight 
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 former 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 sum- 
mer 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, chang- 
ing 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 advised me to have 
peared on my lower lip and would not 
heal. Local doctors pronounced it epi- 
thelioma, but could do nothing for me. 
118  
an operation performed, but my family 
objected to me having it operated on. 
He then advised me to go to Dr. John- 
son, of Kansas City, Missouri, and try 
his medical treatment. 
I arrived at Kansas City on the 26th 
day of June, 1911. After consultation 
with Dr. Johnson, I concluded it would 
be advisable to stay and be treated. 
In three months' time my cancer was 
cured. I remained under treatment 
vitality, and that my cancer was in the 
last stage when I commenced treat- 
ment, the wonderful progress I have 
made in the past six 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 ad- 
vice and went to consult you in regard 
to her case. I am glad to be informed 
that she was pleased with her treat- 
ment 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.

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 eighteen years. I have no 
fear of the disease ever returning. I 
have all faith in Dr. Johnson as a can- 
cer 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.

good health and have never felt any 
bad effects from it since the day I left

I feel that I am now justified in 
giving you this testimonial, for I am

Your medical treatment is everything 
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 anyone who is suffer-

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 permanent cure.

From my own experience I can 
heartily recommend Dr. O. A. John-

afflicted for five years. 
I had a cancer of five years' stand-

removed the cancer smooth and clean

passed since the treatment and no 
more signs of cancer.

for the kind attention given in my case. 
It is nearly fifteen years ago and 
have never had any return of the 
trouble since. I feel confident what 
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 in- 
duced several others to go to Dr. John- 
son and he has cured them also. 
I sincerely hope this may give some 
poor cancer sufferer encouragement 
and direct them where to go for relief. 
Dr. Johnson's ability and standing as 
a cancer specialist is nation wide. No 
one need hesitate to place their case in 
his care. I can assure them of kind and 
careful attention.

Dear Doctor: 
It is a pleasure for me to add a few 
words in testimony of the success of 
your medical treatment for cancer. 
I had a cancer in the right breast for 
over three years before I heard of your 
treatment. At first it was not pain- 
ful, only a hard lump. As time passed 
it became larger and very tender to the 
pressure of the hand or clothing. After 
Nearly 15 Years Since You

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 
fifteen years since you treated me for 
tumors. If it had not been for the 
treatment I received 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 treatment, I 
shall gladly answer it.

I asked if I could be cured and you said 
yes.

Magnet, Nebr., May 22, 1920 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Respected Doctor: 
Of all painful and dreaded diseases 
of which the human body is heir, I be- 
lieve 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 treat- 
ment 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 cancer, but 
did not know. I consulted Dr. John- 
son and he told me it was a cancer, 
not to my surprise. I went to see Dr. 
Johnson, but part of the treatment was 
taken at home. The cancer was gone 
in two months, but it required some 
little time to heal the sore. 
I am not afraid to die, but want to 
take pleasure in saying that I am com- 
pletely cured. 
I am sending a late picture of my- 
122  
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. 
itself was present something like two 
years or more, and had grown to about 
the size of one and a half inches in dia- 
meter. 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 examina- 
tion, to note how exacting you were. 
I can see now why you were so success- 
ful, and this success also explains the 
very large practice you have.

It did not trouble me much the first 
year. The next year it spread over the

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

I was a sufferer of cancer of the lower 
lip for a number of years. I tried some 
of my home doctors, but they wanted 
to use the knife, which I was warned 
from by others. 
A friend of mine told me about 
Doctor Johnson's treatment without 
the knife. I went to him the summer 
of 1914, and I think I can faithfully 
say that I have been cured.

I feel it my duty to humanity to 
write you a letter for publication. It 
is nearly six years now since I took 
treatment of you, and I have never 
lost a chance to recommend your treat-

I was also suffering from female

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 treatment 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. However 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 three weeks I was cured

doctors. I heard from all of them. 
Their prices were all about the same, 
but someway I didn't think I wanted 
to go to any of them for treatment and 
was always looking for more ads. 
Well, I found Dr. Johnson's ad, and 
how glad I have been since. When I 
received his letter and book I made up 
my mind that was where I was going. 
I wrote to some of the women he had 
cured and they wrote such nice letters 
to me, praising Dr. Johnson and ad- 
vising me to go to him without delay. 
' It was nearly a year before I made 
up my mind to go, my breast breaking 
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 re- 
gards for one and all of your faithful 
assistants. 
I am, yours respectfully,

Dear Doctor: 
With great pleasure I wish to say, 
after being cured over seven years of 
what the doctor called scirrhus or hard 
cancer of the right breast, I am satis- 
fied 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 doc- 
tor 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 
anyone else. My broken breast didn't 
heal up for nearly a year, but from that 
time twelve years went by and I had 
nearly forgotten 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

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
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. 
Six years ago the 12th of last April 
I arrived at your office, and at once 
went under treatment for a cancer on 
my right cheek just below the eye. 
The cancer had been on me a year, or 
perhaps a little longer. It had an itch- 
ing, 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 something 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 consider myself 
cured of the cancer, and I was fortu- 
nate enough to be cured on my first 
attempt. While at your place I ob- 
served that most of your patients had 
been treated one or more times before 
coming to you, paying out money and 
wasting valuable 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 
afflicted as I was. My cancer began 
with a little, hard place on the lip, 
which in a short 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 ap- 
plied to you for treatment, and was 
cured. That has been more than four- 
teen years ago, and I believe I was 
cured to stay cured.

I am willing to answer any inquiry

who suffer from cancer I say don't lose

find Dr. Johnson and his institution 
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 living in all parts of the 
United States, and, so far as I know, 
each one is recommending privately or 
publicly the place where they them- 
selves were cured. Like myself, I be- 
lieve they are doing this because of 
gratitude to Dr. Johnson and a sincere 
desire to help anyone afflicted with 
cancer. Dr. Johnson is a man of his

the greatest of confidence.

very grateful for the results you have 
given me. 
It has now been twenty years since 
I was first troubled with a sore, as I 
called it, on the back of my neck, which 
several doctors advised me to have cut 
out; the only salvation, they claimed. 
But I did not consent. 
In the summer of 1911 I went to Dr. 
O. A. Johnson, and he gave me a cure 
completely, for which I can never repay 
him. My vocabulary is not sufficient

Dear Doctor: 
In writing these few lines I hope it 
will be the means of someone afflicted 
with cancer knowing where to go to get 
cured. 
I will say for the benefit of the public 
that, in the spring of 1914, there was 
a small pimple (or lump) come on the 
back of my right hand. I did not think 
much about it until it began to grow, 
130  
and burn, and sting, and itch at inter- 
vals. 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 con- 
tinued to use his treatment until Octo- 
ber and it got no better. During 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 lips several years ago. So I went 
up to Dr. Johnson and he gave my 
hand the first treatment October 26, 
1914, and also treated it for a few days. 
Then I continued to use his medical 
treatment 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. 
Yours respectfully, 
D. B. CAMPBELL. 
fered but very little pain. I would ad-

It has been over six years since I was

Yours truly,

This is to certify that I was cured

Johnson and his help that I recom-

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 doctor 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 be- 
fore. 
Then I saw Dr. Johnson's advertise- 
ment 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 treatment and in one 
month after I commenced with him I 
was cured and have not been bothered 
with the cancer since. That has been 
sixteen 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. John- 
son and his treatment, for I think he 
can cure them if they will go to him 
in time and take his treatment. 
Thanking him for what he has done 
for me, I remain, 
Yours truly,

length of time before writing this. I 
first began treatment with Dr. Johnson 
in May, 1914. My case was cancer of 
the left breast. It began with a small 
lump just to the left of the nipple. I 
had almost constant pain between 
shoulders, and I was run-down in 
general. I am now feeling fine, with- 
out either symptoms of cancer or piles. 
Doctor, you are at liberty to use this 
letter in any way you see fit, and I will 
gladly answer any letters sent me re- 
garding my case. 
My husband and I wish to thank you 
again for fine treatment given me while 
under your care.

They Wanted to Cut It Out. 
Loan, Iowa, May 30, 1920. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I wish to add my indorsement 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 epithel- 
oma, or skin cancer. They wanted to 
cut it out. As it happened, I knew two 
cancer victims 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 examina- 
tion 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 No- 
vember 13, 1911. I was treated five 
weeks. On the 16th day of Decem- 
ber, 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 plac- 
ing themselves under his treatment. 
The longer the disease is neglected, the 
more difficult it will be to have it over- 
come.

Dear Doctor: 
I take great pleasure in saying that 
the cancer you succeeded in curing on 
my face in September, 1915, is entirely 
healed up, leaving no scar at all. I can 
but say that anyone who is afflicted 
as I have been should lose no time in 
going to you, as I am fully satisfied 
from my own experience that if same 
can be cured you can do the work. 
I wish to thank you most sincerely 
for the great benefit I derived from 
your treatment, as my health is better 
in every way. 
I desire to do all in my power to 
assist those who may be afflicted as I 
have been, and will say to all who may 
go to you for help that they will re- 
ceive kindly treatment and feel at 
home. 
Yours respectfully,

Came to the Conclusion That It 
Was Life or Death. Had Cancer 
of the Breast 10 Years. 
I left my home and little children and 
struck out for Kansas City. 
I was under the care of Dr. Johnson 
for six weeks and came home and am 
perfectly cured of the cancer. 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 other- 
wise, 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 con- 
clusion then that it was life or death 
with me, and I never was more glad of 
anything I ever did than I 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 want- 
ing to make any inquiry about my 
case, or about Dr. Johnson, that I 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. 
Doctor, you are at liberty to pub- 
lish this if you wish to do so.

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 
four 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 I had cancer, but also said 
there could not be anything done with- 
out an operation. They gave me no 
hope, but from the recommendation of 
my husband's mother, Mrs. R. Thorn-

and was cured of cancer of the womb,

know that I am still feeling fine, al-

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, following, 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 73 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.

clearly to the afflicted the value of your

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

chances, all opportunities have escaped 
from the victim for well-directed and 
timely treatment), I want to endorse 
for the facts, the results derived my- 
self from the advice, management and

assumed the form of malignancy, be-

Dr. O. A. Johnson,

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

The cancer didn't leave a scar worth

Dear Doctor: 
In the year of 1914 I first noticed a 
small lump in my lower lip, which, in 
a short time, grew larger and began to 
bother me, and later on it broke open 
and became a running sore. Then I 
went to my family physician and he 
told me I had a cancer. I was then 
advised by a friend who had taken 
treatment from you to go to you, which 
I did. I left for Kansas City the 16th 
of January, 1916, and returned on the 
5th of February, 1916, with my lip 
healed up fine, and has since shown no 
signs of returning. 
I think Dr. Johnson's treatment a 
fine one, and praise him and his estab-

As my mother's mouth is per-

enough for it. The cancer started in 
the lower lip of her mouth about a year 
before she took any treatment. After 
the affected part got worse all the time 
people began to talk about it, so, 
finally, I met Rev. R. Solenwek, and 
he advised mother to try the doctors 
of Hays City. She was afraid to trust 
them, so postponed treatment until

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

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 per- 
sons 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 trouble 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 diag- 
nosed as cancer by yourself, but phy- 
sicians whom they had consulted had 
pronounced them cancer sufferers. 
Doctor, I shall gladly answer any 
letters of inquiry that I may receive 
as to your treatment. You have 
proved yourselves to be perfect gentle- 
men 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. 
Yours respectfully,

Dear Sir: 
I voluntarily give you this testi- 
monial for the benefit of persons who 
may be suffering with cancer. 
For three years I was afflicted with 
a place on my face, under my right 
eye, on the side of my nose. I am a 
minister, and began to see that it was 
getting so bad I could not stand in 
the pulpit much longer if my trouble 
continued. I began to consult many 
doctors, and they all pronounced it 
true epithelioma, but differed as to 
treatment. Some wanted me to let it 
alone, some wanted to cut it out at 
once, and one in whom I had most 
confidence said he believed he could 
take it out by freezing. To this treat- 
ment 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 physician 
said he would advise me to let it alone. 
The disease was putting me out of 
business and my people were depend- 
ing 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.

In view of my own cure and the cure 
of others which I know you have per-

is my advice that they go to see you 
as early in their affliction as possible. 
If this letter is the means of directing 
cancer sufferers to you for a cure, I will

good purpose for which it is indicted.

Dear Dr. Johnson: 
I promised you I would give my 
public indorsement of your institution 
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 other 
persons in that city whom you had 
treated successfully, so with such evi- 
dence of your ability I had every con- 
fidence in you, even though I did not 
know you personally. 
When I went to your office in Kansas 
City I was astonished to see the scien- 
tific manner in which patients were 
examined and treated, that you had so 
many patients, and that they were 
coming to you from such great dis- 
tances. 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 enjoying 
excellent health, which I attribute to

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 treatment 
for cancer under Dr. Johnson's direc- 
tion. 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 treat- 
ment and kindness. I would gladly 
recommend Dr. O. A. Johnson to any 
cancer sufferer. 
Respectfully,

Dr. Johnson, but he and his staff of 
doctors and nurses will show you every

I was treated in May, 1916. 
Again I say, go to Dr. Johnson to 
have your cancer cured. He is the

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 judg- 
ment, 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 ad- 
vise anyone that has cancer to go 
immediately to you for treatment, 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. Johnson'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

that I will never have a recurrence of

I would heartily recommend your

Cured Me Sound and Well, and 
Cured My Brother 18 Years 
Ago. 
R. 2, Codell, Kans., June 4, 1920. 
To Whom It May Concern: 
I do hereby say that I believe Doctor 
O. A. Johnson can and will cure can- 
cer, 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 cured a cancer for my 
brother, Andrew M. Smith, of West- 
ern, Saline County, Nebr., eighteen 
years ago, who is well and hearty at 
this date. 
Yours truly, 
O. S. SMITH. 
of my nose close to my eye, which was 
there for about four years, and from 
which I suffered greatly. Since I took 
your treatment I have seen no indica- 
tion of a return of the growth. 
Knowing what has been done for me 
and others, I can gladly recommend 
Dr. Johnson's treatment to anyone. 
You may, if you wish, use this letter 
and my pictures in your book. I will

a time with me to get me healed up. 
It took much longer to cure my 
stomach 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 treatment, 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 re- 
turning. 
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. John- 
son is able to cure any cancer that can 
be cured, therefore I advise any per- 
son who is afflicted with that dread 
disease, cancer, not to put off going to 
Dr. Johnson for treatment, for I know 
there is danger 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 
cancer not to put off going to be cured. 
Dr. Johnson, you may refer anyone 
to me that wishes to know more about 
my case, and I will be pleased to tell 
them what I know of your treatment 
and the kindness of all employees. I 
am ready to help anyone who has can- 
cer 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 afflicted 
one to you. 
Best wishes for your success.

Dear Doctor: 
I found your address in a paper, 
wrote to you and received your letter, 
also your books telling all about can- 
cer, 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 en- 
couragement to go to you at once, and 
I did so. I do thank the Lord and 
you, Doctor, for the treatment I re- 
ceived and the kindness of all the doc- 
tors and nurses. If I can say anything 
that will be of any encouragement to 
anyone that is afflicted with that horri- 
ble 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

Piniele, Mont., June 14, 1920. 
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' treatment, and re- 
turned 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 treatment 
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.

Dear Doctor: 
I will take pleasure to answer you, 
as I am very much satisfied with your 
treatment of my case, a bad cancer on 
my neck. It is well and the hollow 
pit where it was has filled out nicely. 
I am 68 years old, and I never saw 
any case more accurate. I endorse 
your work and give you the sole right 
to enter this as you see fit, to save the 
life of others. I might have been in

Anyone having cancer should not 
hesitate to employ you to treat them, 
and I advise all to go to you promptly, 
as cancer is much easier cured in its 
early stage. 
You did good work for me, Doctor, 
and I saw what you did for others when 
I was with you in July, 1916, and you 
will always have my very best wishes 
for continued success in relieving and 
curing your cancer patients.

Cancer of Left Breast. Can Cure 
You If You Go in Time. 
Johnson. July 6, 1915, I went to see 
Dr. Johnson. He examined me and 
said I had scirrhus or hard cancer, and 
said he could cure me. I remained 
under his care and treatment a few 
weeks, and I am glad to say I am cured. 
He had lots of patients, and most of 
them had cancer. 
I can say to anyone that is afflicted 
with cancer or tumor to go to Dr. 
Johnson, for I know he can cure you 
if you go in time. I will do all I can 
to get sufferers to go to him, and will 
answer any letters in regard to his 
treatment. 
With best wishes for your continued

Dear Doctor: 
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 getting a 
little worse. I then thought 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 neighboring town and I 
was examined by a physician there. 
He said he didn't 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.'' 
Trying to Save Friends From the 
Mistakes He Made. 
Jacksonville, Mo., May 24, 1920. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Sir and Friend: 
It is now two years 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 per- 
manently 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 diffi- 
cult for you and a great deal of need- 
less pain for me. 
I never neglect an opportunity to 
tell of you and try to save my friends 
from the mistakes that I made in not 
going to you at first. 
With best wishes for your continued 
success, I remain, 
Sincerely yours, 
C. W. NORTON. 
I said I would never have that done; 
I had heard of too many being operated 
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 by Doctor

get larger and deeper, and as Dr. John- 
son's treatment impressed me as being 
more to my mind, I went to consult 
him. Being satisfied, I begun his treat- 
ment and was cured. 11 has been over 
fifteen years since I was treated and 
I have not had any indication of a re- 
turn since I was pronounced cured, so 
I am persuaded that the cure is per- 
manent. My experience has been the 
experience of several others from this 
vicinity who have been treated by Dr. 
Johnson. 
Yours very truly, 
H. P. DONNELL. 
Grenola, Kans., May 28, 1920. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
I can heartily endorse Dr. Johnson's 
treatment for cancer. 
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 De- 
cember, 1915, and I feel confident that 
it will not return. 
Dr. Johnson is not only a good 
physician, but a courteous gentleman. 
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 bringing many afflicted people 
to him for treatment. 
Yours truly, 
MRS. A. E. WILBER.

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 un- 
easiness, for I had a fear that some 
day it would result in a cancer. I 
naturally read of many treatments for 
that disease, as well as my observation 
of others who had been treated for that 
disease. The more I saw, the less I 
was inclined to the knife, or cutting- 
out treatment. In the meantime my 
lip broke out and began to spread and

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 medical talent here 
and tried several local remedies, which 
did me no good. I then tried the X- 
ray treatment, 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 something had to be quickly 
done or I would die a fearful death, so 
merit, May 2, 1916, for free book on 
cancer, wrote and promptly received 
it, and, after reading it, tried to per- 
suade 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, notwithstand- 
ing the intense hot weather, your treat- 
ment was entirely successful. My lip 
seems to be as sound as ever, with no 
sign of cancer returning. 
I will gladly answer any letters from 
anyone suffering with cancer, and 
would advise them to go to you with- 
out delay.

My Friends Think It a Miracle 
That I Am a Well Woman 
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 examined 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 re-

only send an addressed and stamped 
envelope.

My Dear Sir: 
I am writing to you again to let you 
know that last February it was nine 
years since I was completely cured of 
cancer of the breast; also a bad case 
of catarrh of the throat, which would 
have led to cancer of the stomach had 
it not been checked. 
I first came to you in January, 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 per- 
manently cured of that dread disease, 
for which you have my heartfelt good 
wishes for the continuance of your 
meritorious work.

Dear Doctor: 
Ten years ago last winter I went to 
your hospital in Kansas City for treat- 
ment 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 successful. 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.

Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I want to write my testimonial as to 
what you have done for me. About 
ten years ago I had a small sore appear 
on my face near my left eye, which 
would not heal, after using various 
remedies. It later developed into a 
cancer, with that peculiar creeping, 
crawling sensation, and I would often 
find myself trying to brush off some- 
thing that seemed to be alive. It got 
to be very annoying, and, as I knew of 
no better way, I was persuaded to have 
it removed by the knife. 
Then in a few years my nose got to 
bothering me quite a good deal, and, 
on going to a physician, I was told I 
had cancer on the vomer, and, after a 
few treatments, he said it would be 
best to have it removed, which was 
done. 
Then in about one year I had a 
canker sore appear in my mouth, which 
did not yield to the usual treatment, 
and possibly helped on by some irrita- 
tion, it also developed into cancer, so 
my physician said. Because of that 
same peculiar sensation and pain, 
which sometimes extended down my 
neck, and even to the point of my 
shoulder, I was afraid he was right, so 
I again resorted to the knife. 
This was January 4th, 1916, but this 
time the sore place did not heal. I 
would try different remedies, but it 
kept getting better, then breaking out 
and getting worse, until I became dis- 
couraged with the remedies I had tried. 
I finally made up my mind to go to 
Kansas City and try Dr. O. A. John-

owe my life to you and your cancer 
cure. 
I am now fifty years old, am well 
and strong, and can do any kind of 
work I want to do, and feel no cancer 
pain. 
I will never cease praising your grand 
cancer cure. I pray God to bless you 
with health and strength, that you may 
cure many more. 
You can use this as a testimonial if 
you wish.

knowledge that you are engaged in the 
noble work of alleviating the sufferings 
of your fellow beings. 
For several years prior to my coming 
to your institution, on the 15th of Sep- 
tember last, I was afflicted with can- 
cerous growths in both temples. 
My first and only question was, 
"How long will it take to remove the 
growths?" My confidence in your 
ability to do so arose from the fact that 
over ten years ago you had effected a 
permanent cure in the removal of a

Dear Doctor: 
Wishing you and your very able 
assistants, male and female, a Happy 
New Year, with continued health to 
carry on the noble work in which you 
are all engaged, and happiness in the 
150  
complicated case of cancer from an 
old friend of mine in this city, Dr. F. 
A. Odermatt. It was on his recom- 
mendation that I came to you. My 
confidence was surely not misplaced, 
for within two weeks after commencing 
treatment all cancers, four in number, 
were removed. That a permanent cure 
has been accomplished there is not in 
my mind the slightest doubt. 
Since being treated by you, I have 
met several parties who have informed 
me of their having cancers removed at 
your institution, and of the perma- 
nency of the cure. 
A cancerous growth appearing on 
any accessible part of my body in the 
future would give me very little worry, 
as I know that you can remove it. I 
sincerely hope that all suffering from 
this dreadful disease may be so situated 
as to be enabled to receive your treat- 
ment, which, if taken in time (and the 
sooner the better), assures without a 
doubt a lasting cure. 
If you think this letter will assist in 
"forwarding the good work," you have 
my permission to publish it. 
Fraternally yours.

for you to send me information about 
your cancer treatment. I received 
your book in due time, also a letter 
from you, so decided that your institu- 
tion was the place for me to go. 
On January 1 ith, 1919, I arrived at 
your offices, and found everything just 
as you had represented. I was in a 
very critical condition, but I am glad 
to state that my cancer is cured, and 
that I am in better health than I have 
been for a good many years. Words 
cannot express my real gratitude for 
what your treatment has done for me. 
I am perfectly satisfied. While at your 
institution I obtained the best of care, 
and all was done to make my stay 
pleasant, both by you and by your 
nurses. 
To all afflicted with cancer, I advise 
them to go to Dr. Johnson at once. If 
you can be cured, he will cure you. 
While I was there I saw many go home 
cured and happy. 
Wishing you the best of success, and 
assuring you of my heartiest support 
and prayer for you in your great work,

the 23rd of April my cancer came out. 
I remained under his care until the 9th

My Dear Doctor: 
I can truly say that I am pleased to 
recommend your treatment for cancer 
to all who are afflicted with the dread- 
ful disease. I had cancer of the left 
breast, and suffered with it a great 
deal for over a year before I dis-

Dear Doctor: 
It has now been about eighteen 
months since you treated and cured 
the cancer on my cheek, near the right 
corner of my mouth. As I have had 
no symptoms of the disease returning, 
since the cure was completed, I feel 
that I owe it to you and to others who 
may be afflicted, to write you a letter 
for publication in your book or paper, 
as you desire. 
Bon Ami, La., June 30, 1920. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
It is a great pleasure to me to tell 
other cancer sufferers of the healing 
your treatment gave me. Last Novem- 
ber a year ago a lump that had been 
in my breast for several years began 
to grow and become quite painful, and 
I realized that I should have treatment 
at once, so began to consider the home 
treatment (so-called), also wrote to you 
and received your book, "Cancer 
Truths," which convinced me your 
treatment was the one for me. 
On February the 8th, 1919, I called 
at your office and began treatment at 
once. In ten weeks' time I was able to 
return to my home, and have since 
enjoyed good health, with no sign of 
the return of the dread disease. 
I most cheerfully and sincerely en- 
dorse your treatment. 
MRS. G. BLACKMAN. 
At the time of coming to you for 
treatment last February, I was afflicted 
with cancer of about seven years' 
standing, near the right corner of my 
mouth on the cheek. The cancer was 
nearly as large as a silver dollar. It 
was raised about one-half inch above 
the surface of my cheek and had a very 
angry, red appearance. Also my case 
152  
had been previously treated, without 
success, and I had been advised to have 
the cancer cut out. 
I went under your treatment Feb- 
ruary 20th, and within five days' time 
you had the cancer all killed. I then 
began the use of a poultice and in a 
short time the growth came out, leav- 
ing a healthy looking sore. It readily 
healed, and, as I stated before, I am 
rid of this disease for all time to come,

where to go to be cured. I shall always

and the kindness that you have shown

Will Get a Square Deal 
Richland, Kansas, August i, 1920. 
Dear Doctor: 
I think I am entirely cured, and am 
well satisfied with your treatment. 
I had an epithelioma cancer on the 
center of my lower lip for a year. It 
did not give me much trouble until 
about the time I went to you for treat- 
ment, when it commenced to grow 
more rapidly. My father had a cancer 
on his face, so I had some idea what to 
expect from my affliction if I was not 
cured, and I began to look around for 
a reliable treatment. 
After investigating your method of 
treatment, I decided to call on you, 
which I did August 25, 1917. I re- 
mained under your daily care just four 
weeks. 
My own success and my observation 
of other cases in your care warrants 
me indorsing your treatment for the 
good it may do others. I confidently 
believe, as you once told me, that the 
cure of cancer at your institution is 
only a matter of the patient coming to 
you in time. I urge any and all can- 
cer patients to call on you at once. 
They will get a square deal; and if 
you can't cure them I am sure you will 
tell them so every time, just as I have 
known you to do in several instances 
where the sufferer came too late. 
If, through the agency of these re- 
marks, someone comes to you and is 
cured, I shall feel that this testimonial 
is worth while. 
Yours very truly, 
D. C. VAN NICE. 
In view of what you have done for 
me, I feel that I cannot say too much 
for you and am confident that had it 
not been for your treatment and your 
skill that I would today be suffering 
the torture of cancer in an incurable 
stage, as my cancer was developing 
rapidly all the time before I began your 
treatment. I also want to say for the 
benefit of those who are afflicted, that 
all coming to you for treatment will be 
sure of getting the most courteous at- 
tention and everything will be done 
for their comfort, while under Doctor 
Johnson's care. 
You may use this letter in any way 
that you see fit, Doctor, as I know 
what you have done for me, and I want

have an opportunity to do so. In fact, 
I feel that I cannot say too much for 
it.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
It is with gratitude that I offer my 
testimony as to the merits of your 
treatment for cancerous affliction. 
Prior to commencing your treat- 
ment I had been afflicted for about two 
years with a cancerous growth on my 
nose just below the right eye. The 
growth was developing all the time 
and was in a location where it would 
soon have gotten into my eye had its 
development continued. 
After seeing your literature showing 
the results which were being accom- 
plished by you in cases similar to my 
own, also after some personal corres- 
pondence, I went to your place for 
treatment under date of July 25, 1918. 
Anyone applying to you for treat- 
ment can be sure of the very best at- 
tention and full benefit of your tried 
experience in treating all forms of 
malignant diseases. 
Assuring you of my gratitude for 
what you have done for me and that 
I am willing to pass the good news 
along to others who are similarly 
afflicted whenever opportunity offers, 
I am,

Weeks-Cured 
Schererville, Ind., July 8th, 1920. 
O. A. Johnson, M. D., 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
As you remember, I came to you on 
February 20th, 1918, for treatment of 
a cancer on the forehead. I had 
already been to four doctors before 
this time, and they wanted to operate 
on it, but my husband did not like the 
idea of an operation, so I went to a 
cancer doctor, and he demanded one 
hundred and fifty dollars ($150.00) 
right away. I stayed there three weeks 
and he told me the cancer was out, so 
I went home, but it never healed. I 
went back again and he told me it was 
a matter of slow healing. It kept on 
getting worse, so I wrote him about it, 
but he never answered. 
After staying with you for six weeks, 
I went home cured, and it has not 
come back yet. It left a little scar, 
but that does not matter. I am sixty- 
three years old, and won't have to 
wear it very many years more. 
I surely am very grateful to you, and 
hope the Lord will spare you many 
years, so that you may continue in your 
noble work. 
Sincerely yours,

spots on my face and neck and hands. 
I had been afflicted with the disease 
for about eight years, and from the 
development it was making I realized 
that, unless something was done for 
my relief, the disease would soon reach 
a stage where it would be too late for 
me to get cured. Fortunately, I heard 
of your method of treatment through 
one of your cured patients, Mr. John

glad to give all the information that I 
can. 
I will always remember the kindness

also your assistant physicians, and 
nurses, while I was at your institution 
being treated. From what I saw of the 
treatment and attention given your 
patients while I was there, I know that 
anyone going to you can go with the 
assurance of being treated right in 
every way.

Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I am writing you to report that I 
am still getting along fine, also sending 
you a photograph taken this week, so 
you can see that my nose is all right 
yet, and I feel sure it is cured to stay 
cured. I can always recommend you 
I am naturally glad to say that the 
results were all that I anticipated and 
that I am positively satisfied with the 
treatment I received at your hands, as 
I feel that I owe my present health and 
freedom from cancer to the fact that 
I heard of your treatment through one 
of your cured patients. I am also 
anxious to show my appreciation by 
being instrumental in sending some 
afflicted one to you to be cured. 
I do not hesitate to give my unquali- 
fied endorsement of your treatment. 
If anyone reading this letter wishes to

that I ever learned of you as a Cancer 
Doctor. 
I had a skin cancer on my nose that 
had been bothering me for six years. 
I had doctored it most of the time, but 
it did it no good. I went to Dr. John- 
son in February, 1919, and was his 
patient for five weeks. I found Dr. 
Johnson to be perfectly honest, and 
his treatments a success. 
nose. 11 had been giving me much un- 
easiness for about four years. For 
about eighteen months prior to my 
visit to you it had become quite active, 
and at times quite painful. You can 
easily imagine the feeling of apprehen- 
sion with which I contemplated the 
future, as I had always regarded can- 
cer as being incurable. 
A Kansas City physician urged me 
to see you about my case, assuring me 
that you could cure it. He gave me 
your address, and insisted that I call 
and see you without delay. On his ad- 
vice I paid you a visit, with the result 
that I commenced treatment with you. 
In about five weeks after com- 
mencing your treatment the cancer 
came out, and I carried it home in 
triumph and alcohol, and exhibited it 
to my wife, who was overjoyed at the 
outcome. I returned it to you and 
suppose that you have it yet. I assure 
you that I would much prefer that you 
have it preserved in alcohol than to 
have it myself in its former location 
on the end of my nose. 
I feel confident that the cure is per- 
manent. I write this partly to express 
my appreciation and gratitude to you; 
but mainly in the hope that it may 
influence others who suffer from that 
dread malady to lose no time in seeing 
you and taking your treatment. I 
cannot too strongly urge those afflicted 
with cancer to seek your advice, and, 
if you recommend that they take your 
treatment, that they lose no time in 
embracing this chance to get well. I 
know they will not be disappointed. 
The results will fulfill their most ardent 
hopes. 
I will cheerfully and gladly answer 
all inquiries that may be addressed to 
me by cancer sufferers. 
With lasting good will and apprecia- 
tion, I am, 
Yours most sincerely,

I shall always thank him for my 
cure, and if there is anything I can do 
to get cancer sufferers under his treat- 
ments, I am going to do so. You may 
publish my letter. Possibly it will 
help some afflicted one to decide to go 
under your treatment in time. Also, 
use my photograph. It will show what 
you did for me.

to your great skill in being able to cure 
cancer. When I first heard of your 
success in relieving cancer, March, 
1919, I was afflicted with a raw, open,

August 25, 1910. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I am pleased to testify to your ability 
to cure cancer. I had a cancer on my 
left cheek, just below the eye. I doc- 
tored for three years with various 
doctors, but it kept getting worse all 
the time. Finally I heard of Dr. 
Johnson through one of his old patients 
whom he had cured. I immediately 
went to his office and after a thorough 
examination of my case, I decided to 
place myself in his hands for treat- 
ment. In less than three weeks I was 
back home, cured of my cancer and 
feeling fine. 
I have not been able to get my 
photograph taken yet, as we work ten 
hours per day, and they are not open 
on Sundays in Ashland. This is a holy 
town-more holy than righteous. I 
will try and get one for you before long. 
If everyone afflicted with cancer 
would only go to you in time, there 
would be a whole lot less suffering from 
this dreaded disease. 
Very truly yours, 
GEO. M. KRAUSE. 
You commenced treating my case 
April 10th, 1919. Within a little over 
a month's time you had the disease all 
removed and the wound entirely 
healed. My lip at this time feels per- 
fectly well, and I feel that I am en- 
tirely rid of the disease for all time to 
come. Also I find that my general 
health was greatly improved under 
your treatment. Before going to you 
my bowels were constipated and my 
kidneys were in bad condition. You 
relieved me of these troubles with your 
constitutional treatment, at the same 
time you were removing the cancer. 
I cannot tell you all that I would 
like to say about your treatment, but 
will just say I am very grateful to you.

that they will receive the very best

have done for me, my sense of grati- 
tude prompts me to offer you some 
expression of appreciation. If it will 
help you in any way in your great work 
of relieving the afflicted, or will be the 
means of placing some afflicted one on 
the road to relief, I feel that I will have 
done some good for my fellowman.

treated, and know that you are accom-

are afflicted with cancer, and will go 
to you before they have exhausted all 
hopes of being cured. I went to you

by other treatment, and I am very 
thankful that I did. My advice to you

to cure me. With this promise I placed 
myself under your treatment May 27, 
1919. By June 7 I was ready to go 
home with the cancer all out and 
healed. 
I certainly appreciate the kind, cour- 
teous treatment which I received while 
at your institution, not only from your- 
self, but from your nurses and assis- 
tants. I feel that I would not be doing 
my duty to other afflicted ones if I did 
not use my influence in every way pos- 
sible to tell them where they can go 
to be cured. This is my one and only 
reason for having this letter published. 
It is my sincere desire that it may be 
the means of placing others afflicted 
as I was, on the road to complete relief.

the Most Fortunate Events of 
Her Life." 
Cross Timbers, Mo., July 19, 1920. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor Johnson: 
It is with a great deal of satisfaction 
and gratitude that I write you this 
letter, stating that I am entirely cured 
of the cancer which I had on my fore- 
head above the right eye. 
For the benefit of those who are 
afflicted with cancer, I will just say 
that prior to taking your treatment I 
had had what was diagnosed as an 
Epithelioma or Skin Cancer developing 
on my forehead for over a year. While 
the cancer was not large, it was 
causing me a great deal of worry and 
uneasiness, as I could see that it was 
all the time developing and getting 
worse, also, further than this, I knew 
the awful results of cancer where 
allowed to reach an incurable stage, as 
my mother had to suffer the torture of 
a slow death from cancer on her nose. 
I consider it was one of the most 
fortunate events of my life when I 
heard of your success in curing cancer, 
and, as a result, arranged to go to you 
for treatment. After you made a care- 
ful examination of the cancer, also a 
test of my blood and a urinalysis, you 
told me that you felt sure of being able

303 W. McGregor St., Algona, la., 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, April 2, 1920. 
1324 Main Street, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Mr. Johnson: 
I am most happy and glad to have 
my testimonial published if it will help 
some sufferer from cancer to go to you 
and give your safe and easy treatment 
a trial, for I know from experience they 
can be cured if they will only come in 
time. I know from experience that 
your treatment is not the terrible tor- 
turing kind that three different doctors 
tried to make my husband believe it 
was. Saying that they would take me 
to the hospital and give me an anaes- 
thetic and cut my breast off and I 
know nothing about the pain, and that 
I would be all right in a short time. 
But my husband and I knew too well 
what the comeback would be, having 
lost several dear friends after having 
their cancers cut out several times, each 
time coming back larger and suffering 
untold misery, and finally dying a 
horrible death. 
159  
1 carried my cancer several years in 
secret, even keeping the knowledge of 
it from my dear husband, because I 
feared some of my anxious friends and 
the doctors would over-persuade him 
till he might give in and want me to' 
try the knife method. I had firmly 
made up my mind that I never would 
allow that to be done. I knew one 
lady (a doctor's wife) that had but one 
breast, having had the other removed 
by the black plaster method. She said 
she had it done in New York City, 
about twenty-eight years ago. She 
was well and spry, walking to church 
and to ladies' aid meetings, until about 
three years ago she died of old age, 
being ninety-three years old. I also 
knew of another case nearly as wonder- 
ful in my eyes as the above, but I had 
no address where such an institution 
was to be found, until I happened to 
get it from a daily paper, and sent 
immediately to you for the book which 
you sent me. 
Still I put off telling my husband, as 
he was very poorly, having had two 
strokes of paralysis, and I feared the 
knowledge of my condition would bring 
a third stroke and perhaps cost his 
life. The time soon came when I knew 
I must do something about it or I could 
neither take care of my husband or 
myself. You know the results-we 
came. 
I will never forget the night when 
Dr. Martinson (my adopted daughter) 
changed the poultice, and exclaimed, 
"Mamma, the cancer is all here on the 
poultice." Papa was so overjoyed he 
began to cry and I could not stop him. 
I thought that would never do, so I 
began to joke him, and told him I did 
not think he wanted me to carry it 
home the same way I brought it there, 
so we finally settled down quietly, but 
didn't sleep much that night. 
We never cease to be thankful that 
we found Dr. O. A. Johnson's office and 
found it in time. 
I will gladly answer any inquiries 
anyone writing me may wish to make. 
The only thing that hurts me about it 
is that about four-fifths of those who 
ought to go at once and take your treat- 
ment will believe their home doctor 
and let them cut and try until it is too 
late.

"Your Treatment Best" Says Ala- 
bama Man 
Vinemont, Ala., Route No. 2, 
July 20, 1920. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I will answer your letter. My lip 
seems to be well. I will state that I 
am satisfied with your treatment. 
Two years ago I noticed a white 
place on my lip. It kept spreading, 
and in February it began to grow fast. 
Several doctors told me it was a can- 
cer. 
I saw one of your journals, and de- 
cided to go to see you. After talking 
with you, 1 decided to place my case 
160  
under your treatment. I think your 
treatment the best that I know of. 
I will be glad to recommend your 
treatment, Dr. Johnson, to anyone, 
and I advise all cancer sufferers to go 
to you and be cured. I have learned 
one important thing about cancer, and 
I will answer any inquiries of me 
concerning your institute. You may 
use this letter as a testimony, if you 
desire. I have had my picture made 
and sent you one. 
Your friend, J. M. MORGAN. 
Pictures Prove Good Results 
San Francisco, Calif., 
1611 Divisadero St., 
July 12, 1920. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
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 recommend Dr. 
Johnson's treatment to all afflicted, 
because I know that it is a good treat- 
ment for cancer. I believe it will cure 
anyone that can be cured. 
My first picture will show how the 
cancer looked when I went under treat- 
ment, and this one that I have just had 
taken proves what was done for me. 
that is, it ought to be treated without 
delay. Delay is dangerous, so go at 
once while you can be cured. 
Yours very truly, 
HENRY TOMELTY.

I Have You to Thank 
Box 66, Elk Horn, Iowa. 
July 14, 1920. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Sir: 
I am feeling fine and have you to 
thank for that. 
After I had an operation for cancer 
on my lip it appeared to heal over for 
a short time, but it came back. So I 
went to you September 8, 1912, and 
it will soon be eight years since I be- 
gun your treatment. I was cured in 
six weeks, and I am still cured. 
My trouble began about four years 
before I went to you. 
Respectfully, 
MRS. R. P. JENSEN. 
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 
further treatment of the public, and 
whenever I have an opportunity I will 
say a good word for you. 
Sincerely yours, 
GRANT LEE. 
Sound and Well Today 
Maryville, Mo., May 28, 1920. 
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 several years. 
I recommend his treatment to any- 
one who has malignant sores. 
Respectfully, W. R. SMILEY. 
Could Not Wish for Better 
Treatment 
Corydon, Iowa, Feb. 20, 1920. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
When I came to you for treatment 
on March 29, 1917, I had a place on 
the back of my shoulder which you 
said was a cancer. 
It started from a mole or wart of 
about twenty years' standing. It 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.

July 30, 1920. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
The treatment that I received from 
you in June, 1913, was successful. I 
haven't felt any effects of it since. It 
was a tumor removed from my back. 
Anyone wishing particulars of my 
case, I will gladly answer any inquiry. 
Yours truly, 
GEO. KOEHLER.

Will Be Glad to Tell Anyone of 
My Satisfaction 
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, 
MRS. R. B. GARTIN.

Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
It has now been nearly six years 
since I took your treatment for cancer 
on my face. I am satisfied it is cured. 
There has been no sign of irritation or 
soreness of any kind, and there is 
scarcely any scar left. 
I will be glad to tell anyone of my 
satisfaction with your treatment and 
your care.

A Most Gracious Expression of 
Sentiment by a Lady Treated 
for Cancer of the Breast 
An Invalid for 20 Years 
430 So. Olive St., Nevada, Mo. 
June 14, 1920. 
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 
Gower, Mo., July 27, 1920. 
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 examined 
by other doctors and they told me I 
had a cancer. One said to cut it out. 
I said, never! I was much run down, 
being afflicted with other diseases for 
years before the cancer broke out. I 
would almost feel at times like giving 
up, and would have done so if I had 
not trusted in a Higher Power. But 
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 
163  
know, if possible, that I am really and 
truly cured of cancer of the left breast. 
It has been over five years (I came to 
you October 6, 1914) since I was dis- 
charged 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 I find that you do not forget your 
old patients as soon as you discharge 
them, as so many doctors do, but re- 
main their friend forever, and never 
tire of doing good for their welfare and 
comfort. I doubt if 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 I found while there. 
It is really hard to tell, Dr. Johnson, 
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 for- 
get her kindness as long as I live. Out- 
side 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 Kansas 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 1 made while 
there. Their kindness and friendship 
more than repays for all I suffered with 
my affliction, besides being cured of 
the most deadly foe of mankind. I am 
greeted so warmly 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 doctors 
and nurses, for I had always under- 
stood 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. Johnson 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 persuaded 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 be- 
cause 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. 
164  
She appeared to be perfectly well in 
every way except the cancer 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 treat- 
ment from you, for she believed after- 
ward 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 in- 
fluenced 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 I 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 per- 
suade 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 people 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 concerning 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 faith- 
fully bestowed their services upon me 
while I was under your care and treat- 
ment. May you all live long to con- 
tinue in your much needed services to 
cancer sufferers, is my sincere prayer. 
Sincerely your friend, 
MRS. C. W. BIBENS. 
Had Skin Cancer on Face Eleven 
Years 
Richmond, Kan., June 28, 1920. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
I am glad you were pleased with the 
photograph, especially so because it 
bears so little evidence of the sore that 
I carried when I went to you for treat- 
165  
ment in May, 1918, and which you 
diagnosed as skin cancer. 
I experience no pain or inconvenience 
where the sore was on my left cheek. 
It had been on my face 11 years, but 
was only about one inch across. 
It was through the courtesy of one 
of your former patients that I heard 
of you, and I feel very grateful to the 
man for his kindness. I hope I may 
be able to do as much for someone else, 
now that I am cured. 
I am much improved in general 
health, Doctor, and I attribute this in 
considerable measure to your good 
treatment. A skin affection that has 
troubled me in cold weather, almost 
ever since the cancer started, has been 
greatly reduced this winter. I think 
the blood tonic taken during the treat- 
ment, and since, has been of great value 
to me. 
I will be 82 years old the 5th day of 
next July. 
Very gratefully yours, 
T. B. KELSEY.

to show my appreciation by being 
instrumental in sending some afflicted 
one to you. 
Clothing Merchant Tells Exper- 
ience 
La Crosse, Wis., 
February 28, 1920. 
Dr. O. A. Johnson, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
Dear Doctor: 
When I went to you for treatment 
I was afflicted with a cancer on my 
face, near the left corner of my eye. 
I had been afflicted with the disease 
about eight years, and from the de- 
velopment it was making I realized 
that unless something was done for my 
relief, it would soon reach a stage where 
it would be too late for me to be cured. 
Fortunately I heard of your method of 
treatment through one of your cured 
patients, and I resolved to come to you 
for aid. 
I am naturally glad to say that the 
results were all I anticipated, and that 
I am positively satisfied with the treat- 
I will always remember the kindness 
and courtesy shown me by yourself, 
and also your assistant physicians and 
nurses while I was at your institution. 
With best wishes for your continued 
success, I am, 
Very truly yours, 
MATT NEWBURG.

aE 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 
cured of your cancer. But if this good fortune is to 
be realized you must make up your mind to come for 
treatment at once. This is an occasion which permits 
of no delay.
