John King, a man ovor 60 years old, who
lived on Karon m street, boro witness that
ono of Dowle's prayers removed from his
neck a goitre that was as big as his nst.
Chicago physicians had given lt up, hut
Dowlo placed his hand upon the allllctod
spot, prayed with tho patient a row
moments and when the spectators placed
their hands upon tho place whero the un
natural growth had been It was gone.
Mrs. T. P. Steele of 301 East nroadwny.
Council Illuffs, claimed to havo beon cured
of nn affliction of the eyes and general Ill
health. Mrs. S, K. Moore of Fremont nlso
was cured of serious Injuries received In a
railroad accident.
At tho last Dowle meeting flfty-ono per
sons declared that they had been cured of
ailments, among them being somo former
rheumatic people. Tho statement was pub
lished nt that time that Dowlo had cured
tho aged mother of Itev, Dr. Savldgo by
prayer.
Sninplf of Ills Methods.
Ono Incident Is recalled by an Omaha cit
izen of thnt day which Illustrates Dowlo's
methods, although It Is not Included In his
list of testimonials. An aged woman who
was nearly blind sought relief at bis hands.
Sho was aflllcted with an ailment of tho
optic nervo nnd was beyond cure, but Dowlo
declared thn. he could euro her. She at
tended ono of his meetings and took her
placo upon tho platform. Dowlo removed
her glasses and told her to get up and walk.
Tho patient protested thnt sho could not, ns
sho could not see, whereupon Dowle gavo
her a push. Instead of Inspiring her to
walk, however, lt knocked her off the plat
form and broko her arm, whereupon the
apostlo declared that sho had committed
some grievous sin In her past and could not
bo healed because she would never bo tor
given for it.
Dowlo was accompanied to Omaha by his
wife, who was of his faith and doctrines and
assisted him In his work. They camo from
Melbourne, Australia, whero they claimed
to havo effected countless cures, Mrs. Dowlo
was a demure llttlo woman who paid her
husband tha utmost defcrenco and strength
cned the doslrid Impression that ho was
something beyond human.
Precedent fur (iilciiun C'nse.
Whllo tho healer was In tho midst of hi
work In Omaha the practices of the faith
curist wero brought to public notice by tho
death of a Mrs. Lemon In childbirth. Sho
had becu attended by a healer named Mrs
Kcnn, and the publicity given the caso In
tho press doubtless strengthened tho opposl
tlon to Dowle. Meantime bin doctrines and
his meetings wcro directing tho attention
of tho entire country to Omahn. Ho nt
tended one meeting of tho ministers of
Omaha, at which the bible miracles and dl
vino healing were all gono ovor. Tho meet
Ing lasted for several hours. Dowle's pro
fessions nnd doctrlnos were vigorously chnl
longed by many of thoso present, but ho
was ready with an aswer for each. At this
meeting tho healer announced his belief
that renunciation of sin was necessary to
healing nnd that sanetiflcatlon would brlns
perfect health. Ho declared that ho had
laid his hands on 13,000 peoplo nnd that
2.600 ot them had been permanently cured
Tho others had relapsed becauso they had
gono back to sin.
Probably tho most bitter opponent or
Dowle's pretensions was Hev. A. V. ClarK
of Calvary Uaptlst church. Ho nppoalod to
peoplo not to go Into Dowle a association,
assuring them that thought upon tho sub
leet would show them their fallacy. "I
feel It keenly," said ho in n published let
ter, "becauso my own denomination has
been so disgraced."
This roferred to tho sympathy of Dr.
Lamar for Dowlo and his cure and tho fact
that tho meetings wero held In n Baptist
church. This lod to a reply from Dr.
Lamar and tho ranks of the flaptlsts were
somewhat torn up over tho controversy.
Left n I.ncnl Aent.
A report of the last Dowle meeting tn
Omaha declares that tho npostlo supple
mented all of his previous statements with
the announcement that Hrother Lamar had
been Initiated Into tho mysteries of tho art
of dlvlno healing and would explain It to
those present. Kor himself, he would say
that Omaha printers' Ink did not agroe
with him, and thnt he would leave Omaha
tho next day for Chicago, whero ho tntendod
to publish n paper. A woman naked how
thoy were to bo healed If ho was going
away, whereupon he told her that requests
to bo healed must be written upon paper
and handed to tho secretary, who would
send them to the mediator (Dr. Lamar)
and the latter would appoint a committee
of two to pray for the request. Anything
which tho mediator could not undorstand
would be sent to him and he would grant
the request If possible.
Ton trustees were named by Dowle for
his association: Itev. A. C. Roll ot Iowa,
O .0. Edgerson, John Flyers, Reorgo H. Gib
son, H. H. Dunham, Mrs. Van Every, Mrs,
Stock, Mrs. Steele, Mrs, Touser and Mrs.
Onnnon. Owing to tho fact that reporters
wero sedulously excluded from tho final
meeting and had to get their reports
through a keyhole, the full names wero not
secured. How long the National Divine
Healing association continued to do bii3l
ness In Omaha does not appear to bo a mat
ter of recorded history.

Paradise and The Palate.
It is taught in tho Koran that ono of tho tosts for
admission into Paradiso is tho passago of tho nccdlo's
oyo. Tho beliovor must pass between two rooks or
pillars sot so closo together that if ho has beon cat
inbr to livo ho will easilv nass tho barrier. But if ho
has been living to out ho will inevitably bo shut out
by his grossness.
SUCCESS
AND THE STOMACH,.
The Koran only carries a step
beyond the present, the applica
tion of a rule of success which is
emphasized every day in this life
success is largely a matter of
stomach. Vrom the positive side
this would be rather a difficult
proposition to prove, because the
man whose stomach is sound
hardly knows that he has a stom
ach. But the relation between
success and the stomach is easily
shown when the negative side
of the proposition is considered.
There arc many men stopped on
the highway to success, some
arc total failures, some creep along
and lead a half life but still must
fail of realizing their largest
ambitions. Why do they fail?
Because the stomach has given
out. Food is no longer perfectly
digested and assimilated. Inas
much as the strength and vigor of
the body are supported by the nour
ishment derived from digested and
assimilated food, the body becomes
weak ("for the vital forces are de
pleted) as soon as the stomach and
allied organs lau in supplying
adequate nutrition. Then comes
a total or partial breakdown of
health.
If there is anv one fact which
more than another needs to be
itiinre.ed on the risinc Genera
tion, it is the relation of success
to a sound stomacn. it seems a
splendid thing that a young man
shall starve ms wav inroueii coi-
leire. that he shall sacrifice his
hortilv cravintrs to a desire ior
knowledge. But is it splendid
when the bov breaks down within
sight of his goal or achieves his
diploma only to be obliged to give
up his future and live the life of a
valetudinarian r
THE MAN WHO FAILED.
In the West the traveler comes
again and again on some rudely
clad, rough -handed man. He
finds to his astonishment that the
man is learned. He can talk
scientifically of the flora of his
neighborhood, or of the geologic
formation of the land he tills. He
has framed diplomas hanging in his
home. What's he doing out here
with his education and ability?
He tells you that he broke down
after leaving college and went to
farming to recover his health. It
took him so long that he lost his
grip on the other life and stayed
on the farm. That's the story of
hundreds on farm and ranch in
the wild west.
Kvery physician knows that the
common cause of ill-health is to
be found in a deranged or diseased
stomach. He knows it and he
acts on his knowledge. Whether
the disease present is of heart,
liver, lungs, kidneys or any other
organ, the lirst organ examined
and treated is the stomach.
But the physician does not tell
you this as a rule, though some
times a physician ot experience
will frankly recommend "Doctor
Tierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery," saying that the cause of dis
ease is in the stomach and the
best medicine for the cure of dis
eases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition
is "Golden Medical Discovery."
THE DOGTOR IS RIGHT.
"Golden Medical Discovers'"
is the best medicine for the cure of
diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition.

diseases (and the cause of them),
is treuerallv a "weak " stomach.
A "weak" stomach is a stomach
in which digestion is partial and
imperfect. The nourishment is
not extracted from the food eaten.
Hence the bodv and its ortrans.
which depend on nourishment for
their strength, arc only partially
fed and must therefore crow
"weak." When the stomach is
made strong again by the use of
"Uoldcn Medical Discovery " tne
food eaten is digested and assimil
ated, the body is adequately nour
ished, and the organs which had
grown weak for lack of nourish
ment grow strong again because
their nourishment is restored.

Sometimes a dealer, tempted by
the little more profit paid by less
meritorious medicines, will offer a
substitute as "iust as cood " as tne
"Discovery." It is the claim of
one man looking for prout against
the testimony oi thousands wno
have found a cure in the use of
"Golden Medical Discovery." You
want the cure, therefore accept no
substitute.
