DR. GEORGE C. CASTLEMAN
DR. GEORGE C. CASTLEMAN, was born in Canada West, December 28, 1830; was reared on a farm; worked for some years in a woodenware factory. Here he began the study of medicine, which he continued in Jefferson County, N. Y., till 1853, when he began its practice. In this he continued there and in Canada till 1855, when he went to Iowa, practicing in various counties in that State till 1865, when he went to Quincy, Adams Co., Ill., and three years later to Missouri. He came to Olathe, Johnson County, Kan., in March, 1878, where he now resides. The doctor is a healing medium, known as "The (so-called) Faith Doctor"; uses no medicine in his general practice, effecting his cures through the use of his hands; has practiced in this way for over thirty years. Thousands of letters of inquiry reach him every year, but owing to the cost in time and money, he now answers no letter (professionally) unless it contains at least $1. He is a member of several liberal societies in the State and in the United States; is a member of the Executive Boards of the Kansas Liberal Union, and of the National Spiritual Association.
