I-0ver zoe 900 Patients Treated in Tel
Hlt Ha. Years.

Er. DOdRe's Practice is mostly diseases OF a
Chronic nature, aud cases given up as incurable.
His treatment is peculiar to himself, although there
have been men in all ages who have had the same
Magnetic Power over the diseases of the body and
mind Some call it the "GIFT OF HEALING" yet
few have possessed it to such extent nearly
all diseases and persons. 1t is lille and vitality
passed from strong, healthy body TO weak one,
that restores the lost or unequal circulation of the
vital or nervous fluid. So powerful is this influence,
that persons who have tor many years suffered from
diseases which have been pronounced ncurable al d
10 whom medicine has been administered with no
good effect, have teen restored to health in an in
credible short space Of time. 1t will not restore
lost Der OF the body, perform other impossi-
bities, but it will always relieve pain from what
ever cause. The practice is blsed upon the most
strict principles of science there is nothing mirae-
lous or supernatural about it; it Is in harmony with
all natlral laws. Many eminent physicians of other
practices not only acknowledge this power, but re-
ceive the treatment tor themselves and families as
well as advise il to their patients.
By this treatment iJ takes but few minutes for
inyeerate cases OF almost any durable Chronic dis
ease and so sure is the effect that but few diseases
require second treatment except Deafness, Bros :
en- Bores. Dislocation, bad Curvature OF the Spine
and Suppurating TumOrs. IA-l-Iff' f'isf--l
The diseases which yield most readily to the cura-
tive agency OF this method practiced by us, are
Dyspepsia Constipation, Asthma, Angina Pectors,
Chlorosis, Loss OF Voice, Rheumatism Rheumatic
G,ut, Liver disease, al kinds of Sexual Weakness,
Diabetes, Headache Nervous Irritation of the Brain
Bronchitis, Catarrh Diseases of the Heart Eruptive
