been staying in this city a gentleman
who seems to possess powers which are
beyond the comprehension Of the or
binary person. He is gifted with a won
derful magnetism which is apparent
Immediately on CHANGING in his eyes, aud
his career has been one of much interest
and Of the greatest benefit to suffering
humanity. DR.. Truesiell, the gentle.
man referred to, In his early life found
that he possessed the faculty of mesmer-
ising. He occasionally practiced this
singular art upon people of his &c
quaintance for amusement, and his first
intimation Us to what might be accom-
plished came from the fact that people
suffering from pain at the time they were
thrown under the influence entirely re-
covered when they regained their facul-
ties. The Doctor went on with his
studies aud in time graduated with hon
ors from one OF the leading medical
universities of New York. He pursued
his medical studies aud commenced
practicing when, remembering his early
experience, he made some tests,
which resulted in proving that
he possessed a magical power
for the healing of diseases by the sim
pie touch. His first patient was lady
who had been confined to her bed for
several months, suffering from what was
believed TO be an incurable Disease. By
the simple laying-on of hands she ex-
perienced immediate relief and in a
short time entirely recovered, to the as
tonishment of all her friends. The
doctor followed up this first experiment
which proved so marvelously successful
with hundreds of others which in near
ly every case resulted in an equally sat-
isfactory manner. The mere touch OF
his hands has relieved many hopeless
sufferer from long continued chronic
disease, and wonderful indeed are the
tales Of the cures wrough by him; in
fact, they would be almost beyond be-
lief were they not SO well attested
by people of the highest respectability.
The faith of the patient is not even re-
quired. The doctor says that while
faith Is necessary it must rather be pos
sessed by the healer than the patient.
In this city DIR. Truesdell has given a
number of extraordinary exhibitions of
his power. He has treated over forty
paraIytics and scarcely one has failed to
be relieved. Other diseases have dis
appeared after a brief treatment, but
space will not permit an extend
ed account of them. One or
two cases, however, are of
such great interest that they will be
well worth reading of. The facts are
furnished by members of DR.. Trues ale's
class. A gentleman residing on Flower
street between Fifth and Sixth streets,
had been suffering from q terrible abb
scess Of the liver for five weeks. being
most Of the time in bed. The abscess
discharged a thick purulent matter,
very offensive to the sight and smell.
He had been treated by three physicians.
On Saturday. June 10Th, his wife felt he
must die. A friend who had heard Of
DR.. Truesdell's miraculous power, called
him in. He gave one treatment, reliev-
ing the pain entirely in ten minutes.
The patient was SO delighted with the
effect that be crossed the street to tell a
friend the good news. The next day,
last Sunday, this man, who had been
given up to die the day before, walked
all the way to Opera House Hall from
his home on Flower street and received
another treatment. He told those as
sembled that he was confident he would
be q well man.
Another equally interesting case was
that OF a woman who came to the hall
shortly after the doctor arrived here.
Apparently she came from the
country, disappearing as mysteriously
as she came. The treatment in her case
was so wonderful in its effect that no
one thought to inquire her name or ad-
dress. She was q most pitiable looking
object, with her progressive paralysis.
She moved slowly to seat, seeming to
dread to be touched. Her neck was
stiff and her face one of despair. The
Doctor looked at her and thought: 81
can do nothing for this woman; / am
sorry she came. Magnetism cannot save
her; the mind cure cannot save herr"
but. to quote from the Doctor, ''There
came the grand thought and conscious
ness, God can" Then, in gentle. awe
inspiring manner, standing quietly at
little distance from the poor creature,
be said, softly; ''Raise your hand" She
thought he wanted her to show how far
she could raise it, and did so in her
child like state Of trust. As he re-
peated, Lift it higher--higher God
bless you, my child--higher higher p
the hand rose and was laid over the
head, and 80 with the other. Then the
trouble in the neck was removed, and in
less time than it takes to relate it the
woman had been lifted out of
the horrible pit and after walk
ing around the hall called out
from the door so all could hear, in such
a happy voice; '0h, I can walk, too. I"
No one knew whence she came or width
or she went, but the beautiful sight and
the gentle tone Of love without a touch
will not soon be forgotten by those pres
emit as long as they live.
These facts as stated in regard to the
above remarkable cases were prepared
by the secretary and chairmvn of the
investigation committee, and was sub
mitted to and approved by the entire
metaphysical class before given for pub
location. This class Is composed of some
of the best people Of this city. who have
been convinced by the evidences Of their
own senses Of the extraordinary powers
of their leader and Instructor. Power
is also manifested by the members of the
class who have already begun to heal.
although not yet having received their
diplomas. One member has begun to
treat publicly with the doctor and Mrs.
Hill, and thanks her savior for the won
derful gift of healing which he has given
her. One lady on Boyd street was re-
lieved Of rheumatism of three years
standing by two treatments, and declares
herself as well as she ever was.
In closing this article on the
talents of this remarkable man
it should be stated that many
of his cures are accomplished
without even touching the patient. This
be calls his soul healing power. and be-
lieves it to be the same means Of healing
used by the apostles. His success by
this method has excelled all other means
of healing and cured where every thing
else has failed. The Doctor has given
the closest attention to bis profession
and is one of the most practical and
eminent scientific men of this country.
He is the author Of most valuable IL
lustrated work entitled, 1.-The Secret
Volume of Life, or the Mysteries OF
Nature Unveiled" and has come to this
city to establish metaphysical college,
in which magnetic healnent, mind cure
and soul healing will be taught, together
with the application OF all known occult
forces for the cure OF disease. These
