THE MoDts orERANDI AND PHILOSOPHY OF ms
MODE or TREATMENT.
The fact that thousands have been cured Of a
certain class Of disorders, mostly those OF iunc-
tional arrangement, hy simple manipulation by
DR.. Bryant, has been testified to by hundreds Of
disinterested persons, including as well, shrewd
practical men Of business, as the most educated
and enlightened among scholars, editors clergy
men, professors, &c. that the truth of his won
derlul success cannot now be q matter Of doubt
The rationale Of his method, therefore, must
possess peculiar interest and from personal
opportunity of very favorable kind, of judging
this, we think it can be very clearly presented in
few simple statements
First, as to the man himself lie owes his
power TO his peculiar, personal constitution Of
highly refined, nervous organization, with strong
will power, and great muscular energy, (athough
small and slender in person., he possesses won
dorlu development of the moral faculties and pc
culiar psychological power OF blending with the
mental atmosphere Of those whom he approaches.
Therefore, as soon as SEEM he has your confidence.
lie stands before YOU no humbug. no charlatan, no
mercenary, only intent on your money, but a sym
path2ing, benevolent and devoted philanthropist,
yearning for the power TO aSsuage the snilerings
Of his fellow men in thousands Of instances
shedding tears Of joy over the relief that be has
brought to some poor sufferer whose only compen-
satiOn to their beneectOr was not money, but a
ialtering tongue and an overlooking heart, Thus
much to the man.
Second, as to the philosophy Many persons
are invalid from the possession, in their minds, of
a fixed idea that they are ailing. These are cured
by removing that idea or impression. This is
achieved by peculiar psychological influence,
and the results are generally instantaneous.
Chronic cases, where there is no organic dis
ease, but simply functional arrangement, being
the result of disordered nervous forces, are cured
by movements and manipulations calculated 10
restore the deranged forces to their normal or
harmonious action. In many cases of this kind,
the results are immediate in others time and
continued treatment are required. Organic
troubles are healed, or not according to their
condition and extent Each case is necessarily
decided on its own standing There are cases,
OF course, beyond the reach OF human aid and
the Doctor can do no more than alleviate sutler-
ing or palate the condition of the patient.
The whole process is a work IN accordance with
fixed laws The early Christian writer's record
multitude Of cures by similar means, by men pos
sessing the requisite gifts Of mental, moral and
spiritual organization. The most successful in
modern times are those who, 10 the required or
ganic qualifications, unite high sense Of the
momentous power they possess, and true, deep
sympathy with suffering humanity, and desire
10 give relief, if need be, without any other re-
ward than the thankful heart, and the evidence Of
fellow beings freed from pain and restored 10 use
fulneSs. To this class all who come in contact
with DR.. Bryant, will leel at once his title to be-
long and TO the fact that he does so, in man
ner peculiarly conspicuous, is owing to his aston
ishing success wherever he has put in practice his
strange and wonderful power over the mysteries
OF the human organization
