A wonderful WohAans
Mrs. DR.. j. Dufiot, who arrived in
our city some four weeks ago, and who
holds forth near the Plaza Just north Of
the Pico House, on Main street, every
afternoon, and where thousands Of people
are gathered to witness this wonderful
little woman in her merciful work Of cur
ing the sick Of any and all the ills that
the human family is heir to. The Doctor
is a little woman, not weighing more
than one hundred and twenty pounds,
about 50 years old, and a native Of
Como, near Milan, Italy, and all her
ancestors were noted for medical ability.
The Madame was instructed in her
earlier years In the mysteries Of dentistry
and at very early age received a high
diploma from the Dental Society in
Italy, after which she commenced the
study of surgery and medicine. and at
the age OF Is she graduated with the
highest honors and receiving the highest
diploma in the gilt of the National Col
lege of Surgery and Medicine Of Italy,
after which she practiced her profession
for Some time, gaining great fame by her
superior ability. Still wanting more
knowledge and to prepare herself for
further good, she decided to attend the
Medical Institute of the city OF Paris.
On her departure from her native land
she received several gold medals set with
diamonds from the Italian government
in appreciation of the high esteem in
which she was held by her people.
In Paris she received the highest
diploma in the gift of the medical
college, after which she settled down
and in the course OF time she was mar
ried to her present husband, DR.. Paul
Duhot, also noted for his medical abil-
ity, and with him they practiced their
profession, some time after which they
came to the United States, taking up
their residence in Chicago, where they
both graduated from the Chicago State
College of Surgery and Medicine, receiv-
ing the highest diplomas of the institute.
Madame Dufot is proud of her accom-
plishments and her knowledge of sur
gerry and medicine and her gift of heal
ing the afflicted, end it is a matter of
wonder the good she has accomplished
since coming to this city to the multi
tudes that gather every afternoon to see
and hear her talk. She is not master OF
the English language and consequently
she speaks through an interpreter. She
commences by pulling teeth. and in this
she is certainly a master hand. She
pulls teeth for the rich. the poor, the
black and the white, the high and the
low, but the children she pays twenty
five cents for each little grinder; all 9th
ers free. After she announces the cur
ing OF the blind, the deaf and the re.
moval of great cancers and tumors; also
the cure Of bronchitis, asthma, catarrh,
rhumatism, and all from the effects Of
her medicine and all accomplished in fall
view Of everybody. and 1t is an aston.
ishing thing to see people come to the
wagon on crutches, to be able to walk
away without them, full Of happiness
and Joy where but a short time before
they were filed with pain and
misery. There is not a day but
what some we'll known resident
OF this city Is not relieved of his all
ments, This little woman is q wonder
and a mystery and a puzzle to our resi-
dent doctors, and as Los Angeles is
blessed with the ablest and most learned
doctors of any city in the United States,
or as any in Europe, they are mystiied
cases some miraculous cures have been
accomplished, hut there is one in which
this little woman has offered public re-
ward to any doctor in the State OF $1,000
that will remove large tumor from the
side of the face of Mr.. Allen, resi-
dent OF the Dusrte, either by cutting 1t
off or any other process, SO it will not
return inside Of one year; If so then they
will give her like sum, after which she
will remove the tumor without cutting,
using only her medicine and in short
time. But this is only one of the wonder
full cures she accomplishes. She makes
the blind see. Only day before yester-
day lady was brought to the wagon
who mad been blind over % years. hav-
ing never seen her own daughter, now
% years old, and after using some of her
medicine on her eyes in full view Of over
two thousand people, who watched
every move made. After this was fn-
ished cloth was placed over her eyes,
after which she was seated for about
half hour. In the meantime the daugh-
ter was told not to speak and
on the cloth being removed
from her eyes she being asked
if she could see. She made no reply;
but, putting her hands to her eyes and
holding them some time, she broke out
crying with Joy and said she could. The
Madame then asked her if she knew the
young lady. She said she did not. The
daughter was then asked to speak and
the mother at once recognized her. The
scene at this time was beyond descrip-
ton, as the mother and daughter de
parted with Joy. Then another lady
was brought to her who had not walked
for months, and before leaving the
wagon she could walk. She was asked
to remain near SO she could be seen next
day, but this abe said she could not
afford. The Madame gave her ten dol
lars to pay her hotel bill with. There
Is no charge for all this work, but the
amount Of medicine sold is enormous.
1t seems she takes from the rich and
gives to the poor. At her rooms at the
st. Llmo she is besieged by suffering
humanity for relief, and from early
morning till about O'Clock she is hard
at work. Humbug il you will call it,
the writer of this article knows by per-
sonal knowledge that this little woman
and her husband are gifted with great
medical knowledge, and the lady has in
one week accomplished what others said
could not be done-she has cured bad
case of six years standing of catarrh in
Q child twelve years old, and he
fully believes the cure is fnal
and is fully convinced that. as they make
no charge, they are just what they pre-.
tend to be-nessengers of mercy-and
deserve to be praised for the charity and
the help they give to the poor and
needy. for there is not day but they
help suffering humanity with money
and medicine. They will remain here
for some time yet, and will open an
Office here, where they will be better
prepared to help the multitudes, and
that the general public may satisfy
themselves of the merits or dement's OF
this most wonderful little woman and
her remarkable cures.
