A MAGICIAN OR WHAT q?
Disease Cured by the Touch.
A Wonderful Power in the Hands of a
Young Physician.

We frequently hear of miracles as worked
by certain class of Eastern adopts, who profess
a knowledge of certain hidden forces of nature
little known or studied IN other portions of the
world, and for which they have been especially
famed, IN not only their deNterous feats of won
der'worSing, but their marvellous healing powers.
According to their custom their art has been
rigidly kept a secret among themselves, but the
eNemplitication of their occult forces is grad
ually being brought more Intimately to public
notice by those more or less naturally gifted and
practtced in such senslbllities.
We frequently hear. more particularly in
newspapers. of exceptional cases of healing by
the old Scriptural method of ''laying on Of
hands" attracting much notice. not only from
the importance of the disease, but the remark
ably successful manner in treating it. OF those
thousands made happy in the relief of minor all
ments we are not SO frequently informed, for the
simple reason of their not being called so prom
inently to public attention, but an inquirer
would be astonished TO learn how many are
quietly partaktng OF this source of relief, and
the prompt alienation 1t gives.
MAGNETISM of the human organization is so
subtle that its action can take place at a remote
distance without the aid of any intermediate
body. Its nature allows it to be either increased
or weakened, communicated, accumulated, and
transported to distant places, as the case may be.
1t can be augmented by sound, reflected by
mirrors, and has so many other remarkable char
acteristics that it has continued, in spite of
pronounced opposition, to engage the attention
OF scientists for more than a century past. The
fact that such eminent scientists as Elhotson,
Braid, Baron Won Rechenbach, an eminent Ger
man chemist; the Baron Dupotel, and Deleuze,
the latter two equally well known and practiced
IN the science in France. where it is now Gus
tomary in hospitals and privately TO amputate
limbs under the soothing influence of the fluid
as well HEAL DISEASES by its penetrating
power, cannot do otherwise than recommend it
to the highest consideration of investigators and
ailing ones needing the relief Its efficacy gives.
1t perfects action of medicines in harmony
with its energy, and by its means the physical n
knows the state of health of each individual and
can Judge with unerring certainty the origin,

diseases A thorough practitioner can prevent
by its means many dangerous effects and con-
sequences that mankind are such heirs to, and
its utility and curing power have been hereto
fore fore so practically and faithfully demonstrated
that little question: if any, can be raised against
the certainty OF its marvellous efficiency
1t seems that we have & physician of this
science in our city of Washington and if what
we had heard was true DISEASE WAS EVIDENTLY
NOTHING IN HIS HANDS.
Appended are few testimonials from reliable
parties:
The following is from an interview with Miss
Annie Dlcher, of Catasauqua, Pa, while stop

She is about twenty-one years of age, and freely
expressed her opinion in relation to the curative
powers of DR.. Brown.

TEN, compelttr rg me to take my bed. Our fam

days without any apparent effect, when acting

who was practicing throughout our vicinity, and
