Centuries were born and died; nations and
dynasties rose and fell; races of men were
ushered into the world and passed away. The
days rolled into years. the years into thousands.
The sun in all its splendor rose and wrapt the
earth in glory. yet none dreamed that the earth
was round and moving, while it was the sun
which stood still. At last one man doubted the
preconceived ideas; doubt led to experiment,
experiment to discovery. He announced that
the world moved, and the gray Gallileo nearly
persisted for his temerity. He shocked the old
school, and they hated him.
!. A recent medical writer says: The old schools
.of medicine, clad in the ancient mantle of ultra
conservatism, whose ample robes have, as they
swept down the corridors of the centuries,
caught and held so much Of the teachings of
Hippocrates, Celses and Galen, hoary with anti
guilty. ever reverently worshipping the old,
while they invariably combatted innovations
and viewed with cynical skepticism each new
discovery. Can such body be regarded as safe
to trust ones physical happiness with?
The traveller who starts on his journey at mid
night has far more to fear during the first few
hours he gropes his way, than after the pur-
pling East heralds the approach of day; more
to fear during the uncertain light of
unfolding dawn, than after the gplden splendor
of the sun folds his path with rad once.
Just so, far back in the history d medicine,
they Numbered along, employing thss most he
roic measures, the most deadly Minerals, the
most Ioathsome connections that the brain could
conceive, and the legacies or heirloOirs have
been zealously defended for centuries, onf8, dis

Every irregular move in medicine has been
protest against the barbarities of the old, irra-
tional conglomerate, It must be remembered
that every step taken has been bitterly protested
by those in power, but after failing to crush the
benefcient innovation, they have been come
PEELED to embrace it.
Come, wake up and move on, said the people
to the old school; accept the newer teachiass or
we will leave you to starve and thus, iassSste of
their conservatism, they have had to Hfeye on,
to be sure always away behind the.tsnes, but
still they crawled snail like and pai1fhlly along,
far in the rear of the started standsf bearers of
progressive thought. Slowly and rebelliously
they had to accept the discosYsies of those
whom they denounced as daaasrous quacks.
Many has been the rude awakssings that this
time honored old school has suffered from pro-
gressiye thought.
And now in this age, which future genera
tions shall call the age of magnetism, men
have arisen all over the world possessing powers
not given of man-pOwers that are as startling
in their action as the electric telegraph and as
mysterious as the subtle magnetic needle which
points ever to the pole and which no man IN
derstands; powers which rival that of the dis
ciples of old when they went ont ''healing the
sick by the laying on of hands
The old school is shocked; it is not down in
the books; yet the deaf hear, the blind see,
and the lame take up their beds and walk
Whence comes this wonderful healing power9
No man knows!
That it exists to a wonderful degree has passed
the realm of doubt, for evidences are every day
brought to the notice of the world
Frank Tanning, who has earned for himself
the title of the phenomena of the Nineteenth
Century, - is the latest professor of this new
healing power. Some of his cures are wonder
full
