LOOKING INTO A MIRROR OF
DESTINY.
The Strange Phases of Life as They Ap-
pear When Analyzed--Mea and Wom-
en- Startled by Secrets Revealed.

It is not often that the surging sea OF
humanity is SO fortunate as to be able to
reach out its hand and receive the gift Of
revelation as the people of indianapolis are
now. There has been stopping at the Bates
House for few days genuine seer, whose
divinings are so miraculous as to almost pro-
duce feeling of fright among those who
witness his marvellous revealngs OF course
the public are aware that the world is
given to deception, and that fakes and
frauds stalk abroad as did Hamlets ghost,
and that grinning spectres in the form of
imitators are lurking in the land. Is it
strange. then, that when genuine clair
voyant, one who is capable Of looking into
the mirror of destiny that hangs in the
chambers of every human life, should APP
pear before the public that he is scrutin-
lied with incredulity? The public is not
to be censured for this unbelief, since i'm
position has so often been the network into
which they have fallen.
1t Is pleasant to note, In view OF the fore
going facts, that there comes along now and
then an honorable practitioner whose pres
ence is as refreshing as the green oasis on
the barren plains, and who, by his every
act, wins public confidence, and is received
into the highest social circles.
Indianapolis is just now honored with this
class of scientific gentleman in the person
OF Prof j. @. Leonard, a world-renowned
seer, who stands apart from spiritualism
and all classes of sorcery and necromancy.
He has entertained the leading scientific
men of the world with his mysterious So
lutions of the affairs of life, and
has charmed the masses who have wit
messed his modern miracles. He is not
to be classed with ancient wizards, nor
does he initiate wichery nor endeavor to i'm
press his clients and patients that he is in
possession OF the philosophers stone which
unlocks the door to the innermost recesses
of the soul. On a scientific, and yet it
must be admitted, very strange and per-
picking method he performs mental prob
lens and solves mysteries in the lives OF
people that they did not believe could be
disentangled only In that unknown world.
The panorama of everyones life is to
him like an open book, into which he has
only to look and read the destiny that is
there revealed. No affair of business that
comes to the merchant, no thought that
worries the lawyer nor confronts the
doctor; no ailment that is driving sufferers
to a premature grave and has baffled all
skill of able medical men; no love affair;
perplexities Of married life; no mine that
Is hidden from view, nor treasure that lies
mics or friends, loved ones, living or in the
grave and. indeed. page In the history
of human existence but what he readily
scans and Immediately reads to his audi
tors. 1t is not by secret schemes, nor any
resort to deception or auxiliary methods
that he performs this wonderful revelation,
but only through the medium of a pecu-
liar faculty, so original in it's force and so
convincing in its accuracy in all details
that the most eminent scientists are held
In awe by its remarkable influence, and
are In the chaos Of mystery when attempt
Ing to solve its source. Professor Leon
ard certainly stands alone among the six
pie as being the weird
man of the nineteenth century,"
He invites the most rigid investigation,
feeling assured from past experiences that
his honorable and courteous treatment of
the public and the overwhelming proofs
that he can show will place him far above
the realm of criticism. and will serve to
strengthen his reputation and demonstrate
his miraculous claims.
To-day Sunday and for the following
four days he will give sittings, from 10 a.
m. till p. m. charging only the moderate
sum of So for what may and often does
prove to be worth many hundreds to the
applicant And to convince the applicant
that he Is sincere and Is capable to perform
all claims. If the information is not what
was anticipated the Professor positively
declines to accept the fee. In all medical
cases he asks money until the patient
is cured, and, further, he penetrates the
veil of futurity so completely that patients
at distance can consult him by mail, and
will receive the same positive Information
as that given In person. In all such cases
the amount, 50. must accompany the applica-
ton, or no attention will be paid TO it. His
healing influence will be experienced at
once by the distant sufferer, and in brief
time the halo of renewed health and spirits
will return to bless the life that had been SO
long groping in the darkness of disease.
Professor Leonard's presence in the city
offers the public an opportunity that prob
ably will not occur again In n lifetime.
AiS parlors in the Bates are on the second
floor and no lady nor gentleman need hes
itate to visit him. He is a gentleman of
refinement, fair, honorable and above the
petty professions of the 'fakir." Callers
will be received with gracious courtesy,
and will leave him with the impression
that he is indeed the seer of modern times.
