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
perished 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 afsEa
conservatism, whose ample robes have, as they
swept down the corridors of the centuriesb

Hippocrates, Celses and Galen, hoary with anti

while they invariably cOmbattsd sinnovations-
and viewed with cynical skeptieism 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 pusr
ping East heralds the approach of day; moFes
to fear during the uncertain light of
unfolding dawn, than after the golden splendor
of the sun folds his path with radiance.
Just so, far back in the history of medicine,
they blundered along, employing the most he

have arisen all oter the world Possessing powers
not given of ma4--powers thassFe as startling
in their action as the eleotri sseiegraph and as

The old school is shock9a; 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 power
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.
