DR.. Am,ck's fairness is certainly
original, and the entire press recog.
nizes that, whether his theory is right
or wrong, te undoubtedly believes in
it himself and is anxious to see i.
undergo every conceivable demon
s,rst,on at his own expense. One Of
tho many instances OF this is shown in
the following from the Chattanooga
Times. The president Of Cha,ts

clan Holland, having reported almost
miraculous results in eleven charity
csses, q further test was arranged for
to extend over several months, the
patients meanwhile to be watched
over by Sisters of Charity in tho
Catholic Hospital. The Times says:

"The reports Of reooveries and the
Open Court discussion have aroused
unexampled interest, and tho formal
test Of DR.. Amick's discovery will be
watched by humanity with closest

will be selected. OF this number
three will be placed in St Vincent's
Hospital, at East Lake. where they
will receive the kindest attention aud
most careful professional service.
"The other three will be treated at
their homes. The test will be in

length of time it might be necessar
to continue tho treatment, he at ono
expressed his willingness to pay tn
entire cost Of maintaining the three
patients at St. Vlncent's Hospital
This not only evidences DR.. Amiok'
broad minded liberality, but it mos
certainly proves >eyond any poss.bil

The Cleveland Press, in prefacin,
