The True Philosophers Stone
Discovered.

1t can no longer be said that SpirltualIsu
is of no practice. value. 1t now turns cop
per into gold, and of course can turn any
thing else into gold, and if the mediums
who control these spirits, do not get into
the State Prisons as counterfeiters, We SET
no reason why every mans house may moi
be mint. Professor Hare, of Philadel.
phia, is engaged in the business of convert
ing copper cents into gold. Mr.. S. =
Peters, of Missouri, testi6es to this remark
able transformation, which he has seen
with his own eyes. He says.
A common manifestation, or one that
is frequently made by DR.. Hare, is the
changing copper cent in few minutes
time, into a piece of gold. The Doctor
has quite number of pieces of gold, all Of
which have been made by the spirits from
copper cents. He showed me a solution
of Russian platinum, made from the ore by
the spirits. Also piece of pure silUer,
weighing $3.50 grains, which has been
converted iato fluid state by the spirits,
and then changed back to the original solid
mass. He placed at one time number
of coins of different kinds-gold, silver
and copper-into glass jar, closely corked
and then put the jar containing the coins
into an empty wooden box, which was
then also closed. In three minutes-the
Doctor standing by with his watch in
hand-it was changed into two and-a-
half dollar gold coin. After he had exam
ined it, and placed it in a jar, and then in a
box, in five minutes it was converted into
the same kind and number of coins he had
put in. On another occasion, he placed
number of different kinds, in like manner,
in a jar, and had them converted into
solid mass in few minutes. The spirits
then changed this solid mass of metal into
the same number and kinds of coin he had
put in.
Many other extraordinary manifestations
have taken and are taking place, in the
Doctors laboratory, and have been wittess-
ed by Others.
l will now state what 1 saw myself
DR.. Hare, the medium, NJ. Aug. Ruggles,
Ia young man eighteen or nineteen years
of age, to whom l was an entire stranger
when entered the laboratory and my
self, were all who were present. The me-
dium seated himself before spiritoscope,
which was on the table in the center of the
room, Dr. Hare and myself being seated on
the opposite side and near the table. Af-
ter few minutes, the spirits said, through
the spiritoscope. "Let DR.. S. A. Peters
put two glass tubes and two pieces of Rus
sia ore in the box" DR.. Hare then left
bis seat and got me two glass tubes about
six inches in length, and about half an inch
in diameter, hermetically sealed at the
ends, and also two pieces of Russia pla-
tinum each about the size of common
bullet. The box in which l was to put
hem l examined. 1t was on the table be-
ore me. 1t was in the shape of a writing
iesk, two feet or more in length, and a
loot and half in breadth, and from four
to eight inches in depth, having a sloping
I'D, with hinges and clasp. In this box
placed the two glass tubes and two pieces
OF piatinum-nothing else being in the box
and closed it. DIR. Hare and myself then
toos the seat we occupied before, and the
medium M: Ruggles,) continued to re-
man II at The spiritoscope. After waiting
lfty-nve minutes the spirit said through
Inc spiritoseope, ave have a present for
DR.. s: A: p; let him go to the box and
get it." l then went to the box, which
was only few feet from me, opened it,
and found the two pieces Of Russia platiu.
I'm inside the two hermitically sealed glass
.ubes.
