Thousands of People Are Rejoicing in the Restoration
Through the Efforts of James Austin Larson, the
Great Booh to Humanity They Tell Their Stories in
PROMINENT BANKERS
SPEAK OF LARSON
The line that 1s drawn between a
business and a profession these days is
very thin and, as a rule, the profession
al man to be successful must have all
the main attributes and even the rating
of the man of commerce. Especially
does this apply to the professional man
who Is traveling and yet is performing
those duties which lie has made a life
stu'dy.
Mr. James Austin Larson, whose re
markable cures as the result of the
Teltconl treatments he is giving at his
consultation rooms In the Hotel Astor
are causing widespread discussion, has
started on a crusade which he hopes
will be successful. The discoverer and
Inventor of that great vibratory system,
whose aim in life has seemed to be to
do the most good that he can, had a
large and lucrative practice in a city
of the Middle West. As his patients
grew more numerous the Idea shaped
Itself what a grand thing it would be
if a central home could be established
where all who wished to be benefited
by Teleconi could stay and which after
being founded by Mr. Larson could
serve as. an everlasting memorial to the
discoverer after he had ceased practic
ing. tr. Larson chose a suitable spot
for his home and then started on his
travels. His sole idea of leaving the
great city where he had been made
famous being to introduce his methods
and prove their efficacy; 'to plant a
need of publicity that would grow and
make the name of Telecom so famous
that hundreds would travel to this home
and undergo the treatment. Mr. Lar
son Is now practically- assured of
enough followers to start the building
of this sanitarium.
Knowing well that there are many
who question the bona-fides of a man
who conies as a comparative stranger
even if he has proved a good Samaritan
In the methods that he has employed
before their very eyes for the allevia
tion of pain Mr. Larson has carefully
preserved many of the testimonials he
Tias received from men of position In
the financial world. There have been
many bankers among his patients and
of the thanks that have been sent to
him in gratitude for the cures be has
consummated, the following is a fair
example:

Mrs. A. G. Jackson, Forth Worth,
Texas. October I'D, 1D05. Dear Madam:
Replying to your inquiry of late date,
I am glad to say that after two months'
treatment by J. Austin Larson I am
permanently cured, and feel as well as
I did twelve months ago, when I was
attacked with jaundice in a severe form
which held on to me for months, but by
last Summer I had gotten considerably
over it; but my liver was torpid and
Inactive, causing indigestion, colic and
TELECONI IS THE LIFE
Says F. G. Linstead, After Eeing
Cured by J. A. Larson Science of
Vibration Makes Sufferer From Con
stipation and Torpid Liver a Well
Man.
"Teleconi Is the life, just as James
Austin Larson claims it is," said F. O.
Linstead, who is employed by the St.
John Lumber Company, as he emerged
from the apartments at the Oregon
Hotel of James Austin Larson, the Tel
econi expert.
Mr. Linstead was asked what Tele
coni Is. a question that is upon the
lips of hundreds of Portland people at
this time.
"It has certainly put new life into
me," continued Mr. Linstead. "For
eight years I have been a constant suf
ferer from constipation and torpid
liver. Now I am a new man altogeth
er, all due, I am positive, to this won
derful treatment they call Teleconi.
"During all the time of my indispo
sition, it has been necessary for me to
take strong medicine every day, and
even then my head was constantly
heavy and I was dull and listless and
my body was so numb that I 'was in
mortal fear of paralysis. Now, my head
is clear and my mind active. The dull,
heavy feeling In my body is gone and
I am Just as natural aa I would .ever
wish' to be. Teleconi works quickly
and surely. As a cure for such troubles
as afflicted me, it is all that is claimed
for it, and I am glad to state publicly
my earnest belief in the treatment. My
belief is based upon a successful trial
of it."
One only needs to listen to Mr. Lin
stead's story to be Impressed with the
fact that Teleconi is equal to all the
claims that have been made for It by
Its distinguished originator, James
. Austin Larson. . There is one very de
cided feature in favor of Mr. Larson's
method and manner, and that is that
he does not' claim to cure everything
by Teleconi. He candidly admits that
be can do nothing for those who s"uffer
with cancer, consumption, diabetes,
Brlght's disease, chronic deafness and
organic heart trouble. He ts equally as
firm In his statement that nearly every
other trouble comes within tho scope
of his treatment.
You cannot but be impressed with
the conservatism of the man. It is Just
this quality in his make-up that gives
thinking people confidence in him and
his claims. It. as Mr. Linstead claims,
Mr. Larson can cure constipation and
torpid liver, his treatment, sooner or
later, will receive universal recognition
in the curing of this very prevalent
complaint.
One thing is certain, and that is that
a lot of Portland people are trying Tel
econi, and all those who have been in
terviewed have nothing but the warm
est words of commendation for the
ayostle of the science of vibration.
constipation. I fortunately had Mr.
Larson to treat me, commencing the
middle of August, and I began to im
prove at once, and soon my liver was
acting all right and the Indigestion,
colic and constipation all disappeared.
My color changed from a yellow to a
healthy, florid complexion; had a fine
appetite and good digestion; a gain of
ten pounds In flesh, with a renewed
vitality, vigor and strength. For a
torpid liver would unhesitatingly
recommend Mr. Larson's treatment.

Of James Austin Larson's business
standing there can be no question. In
every city that he Jias visited he has
been complimented on the exactness
with which he has carried out what In

contracts. The following letters picked
at random will show how he Is rated

SAYS LUETGERT'S
WIFE IS ALIVE
Lawrence Harmon, celebrated as the
attorney defending Adolph Luetgert for
the alleged murder of his wife and the
dissolution of her body in a soap vat, in
Chicago In 1897, is stopping In Portland
temporarily arranging business matters
for his clients. Mr. Harmon succeeded
In securing a life sentence only for the
man whom he believes to this day was
the victim of the Chicago police and
newspapers. Luetgert died in Jollet
prison shortly after.
"I am as firmly convinced as I am
that I am alive," said Mr. Harmon yes
terday afternoon, "that Louise Luet
gert was alivo after she was said to
have been murdered. I have the affi
davit of a woman who knew her well
to the effect that she met her In a
depot at Atlanta, Ga.. May 25, 1897,
nearly a month after the alleged mur
der, talked with her for two hours and
introduced her to her husband as Mrs.
Luetgert. I also- have indisputable
evidence that she was seen and recog
nized still later than that In the State
of South Carolina. I know that it was
the intention of Mrs. Luetgert to leave
her husband and children and have
good evidence to the effect that she
was pleaded with by the hour to return
to Chicago from the Kast to save her
husband from execution. I am satis
fied that she refused to return unless
he was sentenced to be hanged. She
said that if he were sentenced to the
penitentiary for life, it would be good
enough for him. Of the children she
thought nothing, calling them pups.
One of the boys, Arnold, is now living
in Seattle."
The writer met Mr. Harmon in com
pany with James Austin Larson, famed
originator of Teleconi, the science of
vibration in the treatment of human
ills. The two gentlemen met in the
corridor of the Oregon Hotel, where Mr.
Larson is located, for the first time in
many years.
Mr. Harmon gave an interesting talk
of his experience with Teleconi, in
which he is a firm believer.
Speaking of the work of Mr. Larson,
Mr. Harmon said: "I was pretty well
run down in 1902. had rheumatic pains
and needed a general toning up. I bad
heard of Larson and, knowing the
character of treatment he administered,
I decided to try it for myself. I want
to say that no word of commendation
for this man's work can be too strong.
I know that people are skeptical about
such matters; so was I. But he treat
ed me successfully. After that my
wife was severely afflicted with stom
ach trouble. Indigestion, nervousness
and was In quite bad shape. Mr. Larson
treated her and was equally as suc
cessful In that instance."

JAMES AUSTIN LARSON
The Man of Teleconi, Now at the Oregon Hotel
WOMAN M.D. PRAISES
(By' Mrs. Dr. Marie Fiske, 611 South
Eighteanth Street, Tacoma.)
"I am a convert to Teleconi. I speak
from personal experience. I am a grad
uate of two medical colleges, and have
myself practiced medicine for many
years. My complaint is one that all
women will understand nervous ex
haustion due to motherhood. While in
Missouri I was treated by Dr. Carson,
a famous healer. He did me much good,
and naturally when again suffering and
unable to sleep I read in the Tacoma
newspapers of the work of James Aus
tin Larson and Teleconi, the science of
vibration, I was interested. From what
I read I imagined that Teleconi was not
unlike the other treatment with which
I was familiar, and I was not mistaken.
Treated by Mr. Kevllle.
"T was treated by Mr. Neville, the
associate of James Austin Larson, and
I do not hesitate to say that Teleconi
gave me the relief I sought. The ac
tion of the heart, which had been bad
ly impaired, immediately grew better
and the first night after trying Teleconi
I slept like a child and awokfe in the
morning refreshed and In good spirits.
After the second treatment I came home
and did a full day of liar a housework,
and again slept well. For six years I
was In Hot Springs, Ark., seeking relief
In the healing waters. Nervous exhaus
tion has made of me a nervous wreck.
My heart action was weak, and I had.
run down In weight to a little more
than 70 pounds. After leaving Hot
Springs and taking the vital treatment
under the direction of Dr. Carson, I
gained rapidly and soon added 20
pounds to my weight.
All Ran Down Again.
"After leaving Missouri and stopping
vital treatments and I took them only
two weeks I again found myself run
ning down, and when I happeneu to sen
the announcement of the presence of
James Austin Larson in Tacoma, I was
practically a physical wreck. As I have
said, I have taken two Teleconi treat
ments and feel like a new woman. 1
HER RHEUMATISM NOW CURED BY
W ife of Chilliwack's Reeve Adds Indorsement to the Methods
Mrs. C. A. Kickbush, wife of the
Reeve of Chilliwack Municipality, a
resident of the fertile valley for nearly
thirty years, is one of Mr. James Aus
tin Larson's patients, who heartily in
dorses Teleconi. She has Just com
pleted two weeks' treatment for rheu
matism that practically prevented the
use of her light shoulder, and is now
to all Intents and purposes cured. In
regard to her case she said:
"I had suffered severely from rheu
consider the treatment marvelous. It is
so quick in results that the patient is
startled with the change In feeling. Is
there any wonder that I should grate
fully subscribe to--the efficiency of this
marvelous restoration of life to the
deadened human body?
Ik Not a Skeptic.
"T am not a skeptic. I have in my
practice accomplished cures where
others have given up the patients to die.
I know what is possible and as a pro
fessional practitioner, I do not hesi
tate to say that 'Teleconi is all that
Mr. Larson, its originator, claims for
it, but more. ' I think he is modest In
his claims. This I say from my own
knowledge of the human body, gained
in years of practice in the medical pro
fession. I have come to realize that
medicine is not a science, but an ex
periment. A bold assertion to come
from a practitioner. Yes. But it Is
true. Surgery is a science, but medi
cine is a guess. I know what to do in
certain cases, but I am honest enough
to admit that I have orten round the
expected remedy to fail of results, and
have then tried other drugs. That is
not science. It is guesswork.

"And that Is why I so heartily in
dorse Teleconibecause it is a science

profess to have considerable knowledge.
One of the medical colleges from which
V graduated was an electric school. 1
think more of It than of the other. I
know Just what Teleconi will help

person suffering: with rheumatism,

which women are so often subject. I

the science of vibration. An example:
Let there be mental derangement and
harmonious vibration of the nerves of
the body is disturbed. A great calam
ity will cause the vibrations of the hu
man system to become harmful in sym
pathy. The information transmits to
the body the vibrations of ill. and the
human being suffers mentally and
physically for there can be no bodily
suffering without its foundation in the
mental. It is the vibrations that do the
damage or the good. Presume instead
of hearing of disaste and calamity you
receive information that you have sud
denly come into a great fortune. You
are overjoyed. The thrills of delight
are transmitted to the nerves, and you
are exhilarated. You cannot fail to be
benefited physically, because you are,
mentally elated and the transmission of
tne vibrations are harmonious and
nerve-resting.
. "Someone the 'Wire.'
"Compare the theory of vibration
the science, if you like Teleconi with
the telegraph -and telephone, and you
will understand more readily. Take the
telephone. You call a number and can
get no response. Then there Is someone
on the wire. When the functional parts
of the body refuse or tail to work, then
you may depend upon it, there is also
something on the wire that should be
heeded. Establish harmonious vibration
In the human system and you have ease
not disease; concord, not discord; rest,
not nervous lack of interest in life.
Belief In Teleconi. '
"In gratitude to James Austin Lar

I, as a professional woman a doctor
believe that Teleconi will cure many
and relipve the few who have so long
neglected their physical condition as to

Mrs. Kickbush and her husband are

Case of Mrs. Cross.
There is the case of Mrs. R. Cross,
of Spokane, a woman who was on the
verge of mental as well as physical
collapse, owing to stomach and other
troubles to which the sex is often vic
tim. - Constipation had rendered her
almost mad. She turned to J. Austin
Larson and Teleconi and today she
is as well a woman as she ever was.
David Neville, who has recently ar
rived from Spokane, said to the writer:
"I saw Mrs. Cross Just before leav
ing Spokane. She is a living testi
monial to the efficacy of Teleconi, and
to the fact that the cures effected by
it are permanent. She is mentally, as
well as physically strong, and gives due
credit to Teleconi."
IS BIG VICTORY FOR TELECONI
Mrs. . G. Craigie, After Four Operations, Is Carried Up to James Austin
Larson's Consulting-Rooms, and Surprises Friends by Walking Down to
'Waiting Hack.
Helpless for 20 months of suffering
with four operations then a little over
a week of treatment by Mr. James
Austin Larson and she is able, with
the "assistance of one friend, to walk
down the stairs from the consulting
room of the Hotel Astor. Such Is the
case of Mrs. E. G. Craigie. Twelve
days ago she was on her way from
Ladner to Vancouver for another oper
ation for cancer. She was unable to
walk and her poor, wasted frame had
not .strength enough to take nourish
ment. She heard of Mr. Larson and
his Invention of Teleconi and she de
cided to give him a trial before under
going another operation her only
hope of life. A week ago last Tuesday
she was taken to the consulting-rooms
at the Astor in a hack and carried up
the stairs. Mr. Larson examined her
and found her whole side paralyzed
ss the result of the surgical operations.
The case was one of the worst in his
experience, and although he cheered
the woman as much as possible by
holding out a slight chance for her re
covery. In his own mind he considered
that there was very little chance of
her again getting the use of the mus
cles of her leg. And yesterday she
walked down the stairs from the consulting-room
and up to her bedroom at
the Fairmont Hotel, where she is stay
ing during her treatment.
Tells Hrr Own Stor?-.
The reporter called on Mrs. Craigie
yesterday. She is the mother of three
little boys, but is living apart from her
husband. Before going to Ladner.
where her mother resides, she lived
in Vancouver.
"I can't say enough in praise of Mr.
Larson," she replied to a query by the
reporter. "I feel that he has saved
my life. Tou cannot imagine how It
is to feel, after you have given up all
hope, that you are on the road to re
covery. When I first went to Mr.
Larson my - side was one solid cake
and I could not use my leg at all. To
day I walked, with the assistance of a
friend, and I feel sure that I will be
absolutely well again. I had no ap
petite when I came to Vancouver, and
now I am able to take good meals
and enjoy them. The matter that
comes from the abscess is lessening
every day and the wound Is healing up.
I can feel myself growing stronger.
My bowels were constipated but now
they are -as regular aa clockwork. I
am a new woman."
Beside Mrs. Craigie was an empty
tray, which had contained her dinner.
The sunlighj; streamed into the room
SPECIAL
James Austin Larson will maintain offices in
Portland for several months. Teleconi is be
coming so popular, however, that those who
desire a full course of treatment had better
enroll at once as the list is rapidly approach
ing completion. Mr. Larson may be seen in
rooms 212 to 216 Oregon Hotel at the fol
lowing hours: From 9 to 12; 2 to 5; and 7 to
8 P. M. Positively no Sunday hours.
Husband Says Marvelous.
"Marvelous is the only word I can
find that comes anywhere near de
scribing the cure that has been
brought about by J. Austin Larson's
treatment," Mr. Cross said in speaking
of lils wife's case. "When Mr. Larson
undertook the case Mrs. Cross was In
serious condition, suffering from nerv
ous troubles of more than a year's
standing.
"The muscle of the back and spine
were so severely contracted that the
nerve centers were benumbed: her
eyes troubled her, and the skin across
her forehead and neck was drawn so
tightly that It was with difficulty she
held her head up. She was unable to
eat or sleep and was In continual mis
ery. Now she Is well and happy and
Teleconi and Mr. Larson are entitled
o 'the credit."
Other Spokane Cases.
Other Spokane cases handled suc
cessfully by J. Austin Larson were re
ferred to by Mr Ne.iie. who said that
Spokane was certainly the place for
aoubters to turn for information as to
the efficacy of Telccont.
"Several of the relatives of Mrs.
Cross." said Mr. Neville, "took Tele
coni treatments and were benefited. In
fact, the entire family. Including the
husband, will testify that Teleconi Is
all that is cialmed for It."
and lighted up the wan face, adding
its brightness In the hope that was
written on It. The thin arm was
stretched out until the hand grasped
glass of water.
"A week ago I could not have lifted
this." said the patient, with a little
smile on the Hps which showed the
color of returning health.
Watched Case Progress.
There are many at the Hotel Astor
who have watched the progress of
Mrs. Craigie. Some of them have been
Inclined to scoff at the methods of
Mr. James Austin Larson. especially
at the Idea of Teleconi relieving even
curing such an advanced and com
plicated rase as that of Mrs. Craigie.
The picture of the helpless invalid
being carried up to the consultation
rooms had daily excited their curi
osity and pity. There were no scoff
ets at the hotel yesterday when a re
porter asked them about the incident
of Mrs. Craigie walking down stairs,
aided only by a friend.
"I didn't believe that Mr. Larson
could cure such a case when I first
saw the woman brought here." said Mr.
Joseph Iteed, the proprietor. "It is
nothing short of a miracle, the change
that has been wrought In her every
day. I have spoken to her while she
was waiting for her treatment with
Teleconi. At first she did not care,
but as her treatment progressed, and
her health became better, you could see
the light of hope In her eye. Whatever
Teleconi Is, whoever Mr. Larson is.
between them they have saved that
woman's life. I am not the only one
that believes this."
He took t-he reporter to the desk
clerk, who also had noticed the daily
change in the woman.
Refuses All Fees.
Mr. Austin Larson, like the great
bloodless surgeon Lorenz, takes many
cases for which he asks no recompense.
Mrs. Craigie. he discovered after he
had given her several treatments, had
scraped together only enough money to
bring her to Vancouver and to keep
her the few weeks she would be here.
She is not in good circumstances, and
has to support her three little boys.
Hearing of this, the specialist refused
to take any fee whatever, despite the
fact that Mrs. Craigie pressed him to
do so many times. The case Is an
interesting one to him, and one of the
most difficult that he has handled
the success that he Is now certain will
attend his efforts will be the only re
muneration he will get, beyond the un
dying gratitude of the woman he hss
rescued from the grace.
"He has saved my life." says Mrs.
Craigie. "I cannot ever repay him."
