Denver judge convicts James Austin Larson after a trial over practicing medicine without a license. Spectators recount cures and Larson asserts he never calls himself a physician, while appeals loom over exemption for osteopaths and the law’s constitutionality as patient crowds grow.
Alfred Peterson of Berthoud, with a sugar beet farm, traveled to Denver to seek relief from long standing muscular rheumatism through the care of James Austin Larson. After two weeks of treatment Peterson reports dramatic improvement. He says one leg is nearly free of pain, the other nearly so, and he now walks without crutches or a cane. He details prior nightly pain and restlessness, plus sleep which is now deep and restful with only minor stiffness remaining in the left leg. Peterson praises Larson’s work.
Judge Bliss expresses grave doubt about the statute used to prosecute Mr. Larson for practicing medicine without drugs or medicines. He indicates the matter should be decided by the supreme court, notes the burden on the defendant to appeal, and denies the motion for a verdict of not guilty while sustaining the statute for now.
Miss Julia Miller, a Denver bookkeeper, reports rapid relief from lifelong stomach issues after treatment by Mr. Larson. She says she can now eat three meals daily with no pain, and credits the therapy over drugs. Her father, initially skeptical, has become a believer after witnessing her improvement.
A genuine sensation in Minneapolis arises from the cure of Rev J Backlund’s analyzed child by James Austin Larson who restored the withered limb. The child has flesh and sap and is growing healthily.
A man afflicted with rheumatism describes his trial with various doctors and treatments before trying Mr. Larson. He reports substantial pain reduction, improved mobility, and a largely cured condition after several sessions, praising Larson’s method over medicines and baths. A companion dismisses rival doctors as jealous if Larson gains a strong reputation.
