Having beard about the almost in
credible infamatory rheumatism
cure of Lewis White, of "Factory
Hill," in Anderson, S. c., Of recent
date, by Mr.. John Leo through his
Indian remedies, and doubling the
truth Of the rumor that this young
man, who had been confined to his
b: 4 three months, absolutely help
less, could not stand on his feet nor
walk with crutches' given up as an
incurable case by his attendant ply
stefan, had been brought upon the
stand or platform erected in public
square before q crowd numbering
about z 800 people, the Hon. Mayor
G NJ. Tolley, DR.. Ddckett and Har-
ris, the p; oprietor of the Advocate"
Mr.. d. FL. Russell and R. h. Todd,
proprietor Of the Journal, being on
the stand, and after twenty eight
minutes application of liniment and
rubbing by Mr.. Leo. this poor, un>
fortunate, emaciated detected cripple
was restored to full use, yigor and
freedom Of his lower limbs. His
crutches being broken by Mr.. Leo,
the boy arose. walked up and down
tue platform some twenty feet. then
walked down and up seven steps,
mid laundering cheers of thous-
ands of Ihroats. Thirteen bottles Of
liriment were used to perform this
wonderful cure, and four persons
tainted from the almost instanta
neous transformation from aim ost
the jaws of death to renewed life in

went to Anderson, S. c., and after
thorough invt stigation satisfied my
self that all said reports and rumors
were true, true as they are, yet
scarcely can be realized, but the UNI
deniable facts remain, and the name
of John Leo is held with moro rev>
erence and respect in Anderson to>
day, where he is looked upon as a
world wonder for his wonderful
curative medicines, doing good and
curing poor, helpless, suffering hu
mainly, making them happy gain
with restored locomotion and power,
than any other medicine man could
possibly command, and he has for
once demonstrated that a high bred
gentleman of culture can sell meaie
cine and perform permanent cures
in public inside of half an hour that
have baffied all medical science,
thus establishing himself as legiti-
mate, honorable, reliable gentleman,
to rich and poor alike, selling no
medicine till q cure be publicly made
to prove its value and efficacy.

shaped sharp nose, tapering firm
chin, long blond wavy hair, flowing
half way down his back and the
personific etion of refinement and
| culture Such you will remember
| when John Leo gracefully strides
your streets. His wardrobe consists
of the finest costumes ever seen on
| the American stage, being made of
| the finest silks and satins regardless
| of cost. His diamonds are exquisite
and very costly: AT night the hun

Such is feeble pen picture of the
famous John Leo who does to>day
what the combined medical frater>
nifty of the world can not do, to-wit:
make the cripple, who has walked
only by aid of crutches, for any
number of years, throw them away,
and within half an hour get up and
walk the balance of his life, a re
newed, remade vigorous man. Such
is done, yet it scarcely can be real
lied or believed when you see him
do it SO easily and quietly, then you
wonder, is this man an ordinary or an
extraordinary Individual he must
be extraordinary for he combines
all the finest instincts and purity OF
character, tenderness and kindness
of heart, polite and gentle, smiling
to every one, generous and coUrte>
orfs TO the poor. What wonderful
mission is this man performing for
