9 ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT GRATEFUL MOTHER PRAISES m. LARSON Mrs. E. R. Glover, of Tenino, Rejoices in the Promise Teleconi Has Given Her. Little Lilian Glover, Once a Helpless Cripple, Can Now Walk Without Her Leg and Ankle Brace. Tacoma.April 15. Among the many cases of children treated by James Austin Larson, by Teleconi, there Is perhaps none containing more heart interest than that of little Lilian Glover, a pretty tot of five and a half years of age, the daughter of Mrs. E. E. Glover, of Tenino. This1 child, un able to stand on its feet for over one year, after having taken fourteen Tele coni treatments discards her leg and ankle brace for hours at a stretch and plays about her home and yard as do more fortunate children, Mrs. Glover, without reservation, accords the. meed of praise to James Austin Larson, the originator of Teleconi, the science of vibration, and is. unstinted in her praise of the man and his treatment. Personal Knowledge. The writer saw mother and child personally yesterday. The mother, who come to Mr. Larson with the marks of her distress plainly visible upon her features, is now smiling and happy. She told the story of her little daugh ter's affliction as follows: "My little girl, Lilian, had a spell of fever when a baby, the outcome of which was what Mr. Larson calls in fantile paralysis. This was at the age of one year. For fully another year Lilian could not stand on her feet and had to be carried from place to place or wheeled about in a baby cart. Her right leg and ankle were so weak that when she attempted to : walk they would turn over and she would fall. She has worn a brace since she was two years of age, and she is now a. little more than five and a half years old. Her right limb was cold from above the knee down, ' shriveled and much smaller than the left. The blood is now circulating freely through the limb, which has resumed its natural warmth. I say natural, but perhaps I should say that it is getting warmer each succeeding treatment, and we can already see that it is developing and growing, just as Mr. Larson said it would." Goes Without Brace. The mother- grew quite enthusiastic as she proceeded with her narrative, and continued: ' "Why, Lilian can now actually go about without her ankle and leg brace. Yesterday at home she played about the house and grounds for fully six hours, just as other children do, and I put the brace on against her pro test, simply for safety's sake. It does not tire her in the least to go about without a brace. She is happy and cheerful at all times, and certainly our home has been brightened by this wonderful Improvement in the condi tion of our little girl. ' - ' Appreciates Teleconi. "I cannot tell you how much I ap preciate the work of Mr. Larson with his Teleconi treatment. At the out set we were naturally skeptical. We had tried every sort of treatment we could find, without result, and I had begun to resign myself to the realiza tion that my little daughter must go through life a helpless cripple. I am now just as much satisfied that even tually she will be just as goo1 and strong as any other little girl. We expect to take off the brace perma nently' within the next two months. That occasion will be a day of rejoic ing In the Glover home." Mr. Larson Conservative. The writer, asked Mrs. Glover if James Austin Larson had promised to cure Jier daughter's withered limb. "Indeed he did not,' said Mrs. Glo ver. "I read what remarkable cures were effected by Teleconi, and con cluded to take Lilian to see Mr. Lar Bon, have him examine her, and, if possible, relieve her condition if he could not cure it. Mr. Larson was frank with me. After an examination . he informed me that he could- help little Lilian considerably, but he would not promise to cure her. He Immedi ately said that she was a vicitm of in fantile paralysis, which prevented the weak limb from being nourished. If the circulation could be restored and he thought it could the withered limb would grow, and Mr. Larson con servatively remarked that time might enable Lilian to outgrow her crippled condition." Interesting Child. Little Lilian Glover is a decidedly interesting bit of humanity. She i9 far more cheerful than the average child would be under similar circum stances. The writer purposely engaged the tot in conversation, and asked her what she was going to do Easter Sun day. She replied that she would have colored eggs, the same as other chil dren, and a good time, she thought. When asked if she had ever engaged in an "egg hunt," she said no, and when the writer told her how the sport was conducted she looked up and said she was afraid the other children might outrun her, and she wouldn't grt,any of the eggs. She was remind ed that her little limb was stronger now. . Her eyes brightened and her mother agreed to give her an egg hunt Easter Sunday. "It will be her fjrst," said Mrs. Glover, "a wonderful transformation for my little girl, who, prior to taking the Teleconi treatments, could not walk unsupported. Can you wonder that- I am grateful to James Austin Larson?" M TO Fii HiS APARTMENTS The man of Teleconi Is located In rooms 212 to 21 fi at the Oregon Ho tel. Upon arriving at the hotel, enter at 91 Sevrnth street, take the elevator nnd the attendant will direct you to Mr. f.arson's apartments. This gives .absolute privacy of entrance, as it is unnecessary to go through the office. JAMB AUSTIN LAR OF TELECOM, Will Perform Cures This Week to Demonstrate the Efficacy of the Science of Vibration Before Departing on His Tour of the East CONVINCING ENDORSEMENTS OF TELECONI AND JAMES AUSTIN LARSON JAMES AUSTIN LARSON CAUSES A MAN TO WALK West Seattle Man, Partially Paralyzed, Indorses James Austin Larson. Came to the Originator of Teleconi on, Crutches, and Departed Without Them, Weeping for Joy. An unanswerable argument in be half . of Teleconi and James Austin Larson comes in the case of Joseph Boehm, of West Seattle, who came to Mr. Larson on crutches, a, helpless man, who for twenty-one months has been unable to work, and who escaped the'surgeon's knife only through the ministrations of hand treatments. Stricken With Rheumatic Fever. Stricken with deadly rheumatic fe ver In Honolulu, where he had charge of Government work as carpenter fore man, Mr. Boehm lay flat on his back for six ' months, only to' emerge a hopeless cripple and paralytic. Eleven months he walked on crutches, his right arm and right leg bent and use less. Then he saw James Austin Lar son at the Hotel Savoy. . , "See what I can do now," said Mr; Bqehm, with the- exuberance of a boy of 10, and he straightway arose from a sofa in the parlor of the hotel, lifted his hat to his head with his right arm that twenty-four hours ago jwas used witl difficulty, and walked around the room with the aid only of a small walking stick. "This Is the effect of, one treatment yesterday with Mr. Larson," said Boehm, "I can scarcely realize what he has done for me. I came here on crutches and could scarcely arise from my chair except with aid. I left Mr. Larson and gave him my crutches. Then I walked with only this little stick to the West Seattle ferry, and when I reached my home on the water front of West Seattle I walked about for four hours. Praises Mr. Larson. "No word of mine can make you comprehend what Mr. Larson has done for me. He is surely the greatest man I ever knew. The doctors and osteo paths tried to cure me, and yet I was a cripple for nearly two years." "Yes, indeed," said Mrs. Boehm, who was present when Mr. Boehm talked to the writer. "Mr. Larson has wrought wonderfully, and my husband's joy at his recovery is no greater than my own." Corroboration of Story. The above was written by a Seattle man who met Mr. Boehm in the Savoy Hotel. It was not given to the news papers for publication until Mr. Lar son's press representative had seen Mr. Boehm and personally verified the story. Here is what Mr.-Boehm' said: "I do not wish to detract one iota from the credit due the osteopaths who treated me for nearly eight months. They did not cure me, but they did. me some good. The physician who attended me in Honolulu said I must lose a leg. The hosptial doctor had his instruments ready one day to remove the affected member. I re fused to permit amputation and made preparations to return to my home in West Seattle. The physicians in the Honolulu hospital did me more harm than good. They put a rubber ban dage around my thigh, shutting off the circulation of the blood to such an extent that the limb got black and finally became paralyzed. Two big blood blisters formed. In fact,, though the statement may seem shocking, my limb practically began to rot. It was then that the osteopaths gave me tem porary relief. What Mr. Larson Did. "Though the osteopaths helped me, this man, James Austin Larson, did more. I believe he has- cured me. I came to him on crutches, a helpless man, assisted Into his office by my wife. After taking one treatment, I walked away, leaving my crutches be hind and using a light walking stick. I am a man, and tears are a certain indication of weakness, but I must say that after taking this mysterious treatment I was the happiest man on earth; I actually cried for Joy, and I want to give credit to Mr. Larson for what he has accomplished in my case. Send the skeptics 'to me. I live in West Seattle, on the water front, aijd everybody knows me. My home is within a block of the ferry landing, and all the inquirer need do is to ask for Joseph Boehm, and he will have no trouble In finding me. WHAT TELECONI IS "Teleconi is the life.. It is the method of restoring healthful harmony to the vital organs. It is the attuning of the human body to a pitch that means certain health and strength." J. Austin Larson. V b - ' 4 JAMES AUSTIN LARSON, ORIGINATOR OF TELECONI, WHO IS RECEIVING AT THE OREGON HOTEL THIS WEEK MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNES DAY AND THURSDAY - DWARFED fiO IS AWAKENED Vivian McMananon, Formerly of Spokane, Now Living With Grandmother at Loon Lake, Presents Case. Mrs. A. Hazen Places Helpless Child Under Treatment of J. Austin Lar son and He Makes Rapid Prog ress Toward Recovery. (By William C. Williams.) Mentally dwarfed and so helpless he could not turn over in his couch was little Vivian McMajianon, the 5-year-old grandson of Mrs. A. Hazen, living atLoon Lake, Wash., when she brought the mito of humanity to the Hotel Spo kane to consult J. Austin Larson. He was peevish, he cried and moaned con tinuously, and his body was as limp as a wet handkerchief. I , was a passenger on the train over the Spokane Falls & No.rthern Railway which brought the little fellow to Spo kane at that time, and saw the condi tion he . was In. I felt sorry for the child, and my sympathies went out to the grandmother, who had given him every care since the death of his mother a few years ago. I said to myself: "He is not long for this world; in his condition it were better if he had died at birth." Couldn't Sleep Nor Eat. I talked with Mrs. Hazen about the little one, and she told me that Vivian had been helpless since he saw th light of day; that he was unable to eat solid food, such as children at his age should have, and that he could not sleep. "He seems to be starving for the lack of food and sleep," she added, "and I am afraid he will waste away. We have tried everything imaginable, from regular medical practitioners to chiro-practitioners. consulting with the foremost in their profession. In Spo kane, where we formerly lived, but Vivian showed no improvement. . "I can't sit by and see the little fel low battle out his life in this way, so I am going to see James Austn Larson. I have heard that he has been successful with similar cases. I confess that I am not a believer in the drugless treatment, but I am going to give it a trial.'' Little Vivian Was Helpless. Little Vivian was helpless in his grandmother's arms. He appeared to comprehend what was 'being said, but bej-ond the simplest words he was un able to articulate. He stared open eyed at me when I took the seat oppo ATT Ml? if site him in' the car to ask his grand mother if I could be of any assistance to her; and while we talked he cried and moaned, dropped into troubled slumber, only to awaken with a scared expression upon his pinched face. I noticed that he was' unable to move his legs, which were pitifully thin, and I felt of his little arms, but he did not appear to be conscious of it, and, as a matter of fact, there did not seem to be more life In them than there is In a lead pencil. I will neviV forget the look in the boy's eyes when I bid his grandmother good-by and expressed the hope that she would find at least relief for the little fellow. Dwarfed Mind Is Awakened. I saw the boy again, the first time since riding with him from Loon Lake to Spokane. He was greatly changed, and he appeared bright and cheerful. His mind had been awak ened, and he. seamed to realize' what was going on about him. Mrs. Hazen was enthusiastic over the change that had been brought in her orphaned charge, and she talked with me freely about the case, not re membering that I was a fellow-passenger on the train when she made the first visit to Mr. Larson's rooms in the Hotel Spokane. I mentioned that I had seen the boy before, and sjie said: "Well, then you can see the Improvement in him. When he took the first three treat ments he cried all theftime, but lately he seems glad to have Mr. Larson to take him in hand. He is growing fond of him, and they are the best of friends. ' Enjoys Food and Sleeps Well. "Vivian now 'takes food just the same as other children of his age, and he sleeps well. The nervousness and helplessness is disappearing and he is brighter and stronger nd healthier than he has ever been fn his life. He has made such remarkable progress that I feel he can stop the treatment for several months and let Nature do its work. "When I brought him to Mr. Larson it was found that the muscles of Viv ian's back and spine were so contract ed he was unable , to move, and the medical men whom I consulted told me that he would never be any better, but I have proved to -the contrary." Vivian Is Changed Child. Vivian went to sleep in his grand mother's arms while I was talking with ner. There was color in his face, which is beginning to round out and his lips have lost that death palor,. He is taking on flesh, and his grand mother told me he is aole to turn in his trundle-bed and sit up in a high chair for brief periods. "I noticed." she said, "that after the fifth treatment Vivian began to retain his food, the first since his birth, and now he appears to enjoy It. The food Is nourishing his brain and he has awakened fiom the lethargy In which he has been since a baby. His stom ach is getting strong, and he is other wise making such remarkable progress that even if Mr. Larson did not do anything else he has already done more than I can repay him."

While Giving Credit to Seattle Physi cians, Said It Took James Austin Larson to Restore His Speech. Charles Vosper, of Klverton Station, is a young man who cheerfully testi fies to the efficacy of Teleconi, the sci ence of vibration, as administered by James Austin Larson, its originator. AVhen Mr. Vosper came to Mr. Larson in his offices in the Savoy Hotel for treatment he was speechless. He had suffered two severe strokes of paraly sis, the first a year ago last October, he second a year ago last March. Sought Aid of Doctors. Mr. Vosper first went to Winnipeg and took treatments there In an effort to have his speech restored. He im proved slightly, so far as his paralysis was concerned, but his vocal cords re fused to act properly and he finally came back to Seattle and went to the Seattle General Hospital. Mr. Vosper says they relieved him considerably, so far as his strength was concerned, but there was still the lack of speech. Hears of Larson. It was about this time that James Austin Larson, the originator of Tele coni, the science of vibration in the treatment of human ills, came to Se attle and established offices In the Savoy Hotel. Mr. Vosper and his friends determined to give the man who had performed so many marvel ous cures a trial, and accordingly Mr. Vosper came to the Savoy, consulted with Mr. Larson and arranged for a course of treatments. While not de tracting in the slightest from the good done him by the physicians who have treated him, Mr. Vosper says: "What the doctors did for me was to, In a measure, restore my strength, but it took James Austin Larson and his Teleconi treatments to give me back my speech." Mr. Vosper now converses in an or dinary tone of voice. He has not yet acquired the full vocal strength pos sessed prior to the strokes of paraly sis, but is improving daily, and even at present finds no fault with the pitch of his. voice. He and his friends are naturally, well pleased that they came to the Savoy and tried the Teleconi treatments. ::- : r ' .M m m WALKS EIGHT BLOCKS AFTER MONTHS IN BED Gratifying Progress of the Case of Mrs. Gardner of Puyallup Under Tele coni Treatment. Woman Who Was Informed by Phy sicians That She Was a Victim of Cancer and Heart Trouble, Yields to the Science of Vibration as Admin istered by James Austin Larson. Tacoma, April 15. Mrs. R. Gardner, of Puyallup, presents one of themost striking illustrations of the success of James Austin Larson in the practice of Teleconi, the science of vibration in the treatment of human ills. Mrs. Gardner is the woman Mr. Larson was called to visit at midnight while- prac ticing' "in Tacoma. The sons of the woman came to him in great alarm, saying that her case had practically been abandoned by her physicians fearing both cancer and organic heart trouble, This was .three weeks ago. The rel atives of Mrs. Gardner had gathered about her bedside, fully expecting dis solution. As a final recourse they soiiE-ht out James Austin Larson, and ' to briefly demonstrate what Teleconi has done for this bedridden woman, yesterday she walked eight blocks and took' her treatment. This may be easily substantiated, and is one of the many marvels of the results of the sci ence of vibration in saving human life. In discussing this case, Mr. Larson said: Why Larson Succeeds. "The weak spine or the limping limb Is most often due to other causes than thos ascribed by the diagnosti cian. "My success is due to the reali zation that life lies in the abdominal regions, as in the case of Mrs. Gard ner. My process is to restore tvith vibration the vermicular motion of the stomach, and peristaltic action of the bowels, and when that is done immedir ately life and vitality are restored to the organs of the pelvic viscera. Diagnosticians too frequently err. Heart trouble, so-called appendicitis a misnomer are nothing more than lack of assimilation of food. Half a dozen physicians may be called for nny one case, and each one is likely to give a different diagnosis. The fact is that all would be right to a certain extent; they, however, fall to locate the cause, which is due to some gen eral condition of the body that cannot be remedied by pills and pellets. The i great trouble Is that the average diag- notic gets merely the effect and not the cause. Taking of Stimulants. "Nature objects to the taking of stimulants to exhilarate the action of the various organs to bring abput as similation of the food. I once' had parents bring a child to me who was weak and of a nervous temperament; muscles shrinking, mind becoming im paired, and subject to fits. Bone doc tors ail attributed the child's condi tion to trouble with the spine. That very case under Teleconi yielded read ily and was pronounced a marvel. Why? Simply because Teleconi caused the food to be properly di gested "and assimilated, feeding a starved brain, usually the cause of im becility. The brain began to be nour ished, the red blood of the entire body began to take on new life, the muscles to develop and the child to change from a hopeless condition of helpless ness into a bright and healthy person. Taken Off Crutches. "People are taken off crutches not because they are treated from the part th'ought affected, but by restora tion of normal conditions to the ma chinery of the human body. I have cured so-called insanity, realizing as soon as seeing the case that it was nothing more than starvation of the brain and the nerv'es due to lack of assimilation of food and indigestion. The cause of Impure blood is torpidity of the liver, the bowels and the lack of assimilation by the organs of di gestion and assimilation doing their work in a sluggish manner." , TELECONI NGTA CUREALL James Austin Larson's chief asset is frankness. He states plainly that Teleconi will cure constipation, stomach troubles, neuralgia, rheumatism, gen eral debility, nervousness, paralysis and kindred ail ments. He will not attempt to treat cancer, Brlght's disease, consumption, diabetes or chronic deafness. TELECONI CURES. GDNSTIPATION CASE Another Triumph for Vibra tion Science as Adminis tered by J. Austin Larson. Frederick Anderson, 4414 North Tenth St., Tacoma, Testifies to Efficacy of Teleconi Treatment. "Nothing succeeds like success." said Fred. Anderson, who resides at 4415 North Tenth street, to a newspaper man who met him in the corridor of the Tacoma Hotel. Mr. Anderson had just emerged from the rooms of J. Austin Larson, 143 and 144, and. had greeted the reporter, with whom ho has a speaking acquaintance. The re mark followed a salutation by the writer: "How are you progressing with Teleconi?" "In a few days," said Mr. Anderson, "I may want to tell you something about my case. I think sufferers should know where to turn for relief, and I am about convinced that Mr. Larson will master my trouble, which is chronic constipation." Endorses Teleconi. The next day the reporter received word that Mr. Anderson had a story to r?H. The Journey to 4415 North Tenth was made, and Mr. Anderson was found in a cosy cottage, where he gave the following interview: "You have tested Teleconi?" "I have had some six treatments," replied Mr. Anderson, "and I am free to state that they' have done me far more good than I have been done by doctors, osteopaths, drugs and other alleged remedies. I would not give a testimonial if I had the slightest doubt as to having been benefited. That is why I did not go into details at the hotel. For seven years I have been a victim of constipation. I have been compelled during that period to constantly stimulate the action of my digestive organs or to suffer the. tor lures of the condemned. Look on that shelf," said Mr. Anderson. There were bottles and boxes of drugs where the speaker pointed, and he added that he had emptied many that were not now there. Osteopaths Failed. "After having vainly sought relief with physicians who give. drugs," said Mr. Anderson, "I finally turned to the osteopaths. Four of them promised me much and gave me nothing. In order to stimulate action I was forced back to the drugs that gave temporary relief, which the osteopaths seemed unable to give. I despaired of ever gaining permanent relief, and had about made up my mind to abandon the so-called healers, and manage to get along with artificial digestion. Hears of Mr. Larson. "About that time I read some of the cures effected by J. Austin Larson, and determined, to give Teleconi a test. I told Mr. Larson that for seven years I had been a victim of consti pation, but he said that he could re lieve me, and I started in. I actually felt the effect of the first treatment to such an extent that the night after taking It I seemed to be burning up. I could scarcely sleep at all because of this peculiar sensation. Improve ment came rapidly as I took treat ments, and today I can frankly stato that I am a new man, and that I have not felt so well in seven years of suf fering from constipation. My bowels, which seemed dead, are now appar ently well. There is life In them, and 1 can feel It. In fact I feel more alive all over the body. As I have told you, for seven years there was not a day during which I failed to take some sort of medicine to alleviate my suf fering and keep my bowels in action. Since taking the Teleconi treatments with Mr. Larson I have not taken a dose of any kind of medicine, and feel like a whole man. For years I had a terrible pain in the side that kept me awake nights. Even that has improved under the Teleconi treatment, and later on I may have something to say with reference to the good done in that direction." Mr. Larson Not Surprised. Mr. Larson did not seem at all sur prised at the statement volutarily given by Mr. Anderson. "In fact," said Mr. Larson, "my greatest strength lies in mastering con stipation and bowel and stomach trou bles. I care not how stubborn the complaint may be, nor of the length ot its standing. In a majority of cases Teleconi will cure, and in the most ag gravated cases where time is required to accomplish results, almost imme diate relief may be given." Mrs. Jandos Improves. While passing out of the Tacoma Hotel after having visited Mr. Larson In his rooms, 143 and 144, the reporter met Captain Jandos and his wife in the corridor. The veteran captain, well known as a pioneer in the Alaska river trade, beamed with good nature as he gave a cheery "good morning." In response to a query as to the prog ress making by Mrs. Jandos, who is being treated by Mr. Larson for par alysis, Captain Jandos said: "She Is doing splendidly. She now walks from the car to the hotel to take her Teleconi treatment. She does more. Where before beginning Tele coni she had no use of her right arm or side, she now prepares my meals and gets about right nicely. She is also sleeping better, and for the first time in many months feels in cheerful mood." And Mrs. Jandos looked it. Her cheeks wore a ruddy plow, her eyes beamed with good humor, and she added a word in praise of Teleconi and of J. Austin Larson. WILL ENROLL PATIENTS FOR THIS WEEK ONLY James Austin Larson's private secre tary announces that while his stay in Portland will probably be longer than this week, yet those desiring to test the efficacy of the treatment will have to enroll this week. A longer time, however, will probably be given for the completion of the courses of the treatment commenced. The chief pur pose of Mr. Larson's visit to Portland and the Northwest is to arouse suffi cient interest in the science of treating human diseases by vibration to build a Teleconi Temple of Health later, in one of the large cities of the United States. His greatest advertisement is the number of permanent cures he has performed. Lasting cures make last ing advertisements.
