A business man remarks that it is
wonderful what effect the speed of
elevators has on the manners of men
IN transacting business. Go into an
office building where the elevators
rush up and down like a flash, you
will find the effect reproduced on the
men who do business there. 1t is
quick, sharp, nervous work. Where
the elevators are slow there is more
deliberation and conservatism.

HEALING THE SICK.

To relieve human suffering seems to
be not only a gift, but a comprehensive
knowledge of the means to employ.
Every day since Dr.. Andrew ana his
associates came to Scranton, they have
been performing perfest revelations in
healing. Some Of their cures, both at
Music Hall and at their private office
at the Hotel Westminster, seem al
most too remarkable for belief.
The case of Charles Campbell, who
was treated in public at Music Hall
for seven years this man mad not been
able to do any work, and for fifteen
mQlths had not left his door-he says
that the doctor treated him only once,
and that now he Is well man.
Mr. Henry Brown was last week
cured of a very distressing disease Of
the kidneys and joints. He had not
walked for over three years without
the aid Of crutches He says that the
doctor gave him some kind OF medi-
cine and one magnetic treatment, when
he left their Office carrying his crutches
on his shoulder and has not used them
since.
Mr. Harrison had been deaf twelve
years. He has been cured and can now
hear perfectly.
Jasper Johnson says that he had been
afflicted for about nine years with a
disease of the kidneys, and that after
only ten days treatment, he went to
work at his trade-that Of a stone
mason-and has not lost a day since
on last Sunday afternoon, among the
number who called, was a fine old Irish
lady who was all crippled up with the
rheumatism. She was assisted up the
etairs and into their rooms, where she
! told her s0rroWful tale of suffering.
The doctor listened to her complaint
and then said: Madam, do You wish
to be cured?" She replied: And in
dada I do, Doctor" When before she
could count ten the doctor made few
passes over her body and limbs, took
her canes and threw them in the corner
and then told her to got up and walk,
that she was all right. Slowly the aid
lady arose from her chair, stretched
| her limbs, worked them back and forth,
and then began to walk and run, and
shouted, That's the stuff! that's the
stuff Before God | am cured; bless
you doctor, God bless you. But won't
the children be happy when l get home;
this will be great for Christmas" and
away she went down the stairs and out
upon the street shouting, See! l am
cured the doctor has cured me-"
This list OF remarkable cures might
be extended to ill columns Of this paper
and then not the half told.
All sick, crippled and deaf people and
those who have given up all hope, can
consult these doctors entirely free from
J 8 a, m. to p. m. daily. They heal both
with and without medicine and are per-
| forming the mos. marvellous cures ever
witnessed in Scranton.
