HEALING THE SICK
THAT rs WHAT DENVER's POPULIST
MESSIAH Is DOING.

He is at 1T Now in the Metropolis OF Colo
Not a Bit Tired-some Remark
able Cases of Cure Effected by Him-He
Lays on His LANDS and EIevates His
Eyes to Heaven in Prayer-Many People
Receive Relief Who Say Nothing at All
About 1t.
Denver, Col, Oct. S.-Schlatter, the
healer, begins his fourth weeks labor
in Denver today. If his originally
/ pronounced program is carried out he
will continue five weeks longer before
! leaving for new fields. The healer is
in splendid physical condition and de-
clares that he never felt better. Many
solicitations were made yesterday for
/ him to give private treatments TO spec
! ial cases. To all he had but one ans
wer. He thought he ought to have one
! day of rest and those that had been
with him during the week agreed that
/ he had earned a cessation from the
! strain of treating the sick and afflicted.
| He will resume active work at the usual
] place today.
The reported cures effected through
/ the agency of this remarkable man are
! running into the hundreds. Many of
! the persons relieved of long standing
complaints object to the publication Of
/ their names, as they are not sure the
relief is permanent. Others dread any
kind of notoriety but are willing 10
talk at length of the change in their
condition.
CURED OF SCIATIC RHEUMATISM.
Among the cases which attracted a
great deal of interest on the part of
those who were in the presence OF the
healer last Saturday was that of S. S.
Nichols of this city, residing at 1926
Page street. Mr. Nichols is employed
at 1887 Larimer street, where he can
be seen in verification of his remark
able experience. He was born in West
Prussia, only a few miles from the
birthplace of Schlatter. For many
months he says he was a sufferer from
acute pains in the back, which finally
took the form of Sciatic rheumatism.
His health broke down under the pain,
which those who have suffered from
this disease can testify is indescribable.
1T is one of the most dreaded of all dis
eases. Nichols became doubled up so
that when he walked he was obliged
to Stoop over and place his hands on
his knees for support. Last Saturday,
he says, il was out of the question for
him to sit upright, and he secured the
services of an eXpreSSman to convey
him to Schlatter in the hope that he
might gain some relief. The appear
ance of the man excited the commisera-
tion of the attendants of the healer and
he was taken to Schlatter, who began
the usual treatment. AS the treatment
progressed the form of the patient soon
became erect and in few moments he
had gained his original stature, stand
ing up as straight as an arrow The
man was as much aStoniShed as the
spectators and rejoiced as one who had
renewed his youth. He walked away
sounding the praises of the quiet man,
who proceeded with his work as though
nothing unusual had happened.
CURE APPEARS PERMANENT.
A representative of the News called
on Nichols at his home last evening
and found him as happy as a man can
be who has seen the shadow of death
pass by. He declared that he was en-
tirely free from pain and never felt
better in his life. He felt weak from his
long tuSSle W1Jn the pam ueIHOil, pul
felt that complete health is just in sight.
Thomas Linton, an old-timer well
known in this city and a prominent
member of the Knights Templar, was
one Of the happy individuals who re-
turned to give thanks last Saturday.
Linton was treated about ten days ago
for "a paralyzed hand. Yesterday he
buttoned his coat and shook hands
with many of his friends with the for
merly useless member. A friend of
Fort Collins lady reached Schlatter
with the thanks of one who had been
relieved of paralysis in her right side.
The messenger came all the way from
Fort Collins 10 reder thanks. 4 four
year-old child, whose arms had been
useless from it's birth, elapsed its little
arms around its mothers neck after the
healer had given treatment. 1t was the
first time the child had ever elapsed its
mother in the act of affection. young
lady who had been previously afflicted
with walking in her sleep testified that
she had been cured by one treatment
