 Of Nature.
LSneelal to THE REPUBLICAN.

the announcement was made in the daily papers of this city that the Virgin of Guadaloupe had come to Kansas City and was performing mi raculOus cures on the streets of the city; or that Francis Schlatter, the strange man who has created such a sensation in Denver during the past few weeks, had arrived and was effect ing unheard of cures on the public square, or that some mysterious as strologer had set up an altar of health somewhere in Kansas City and was accomplishing wonders such as have not been heard of since the days of Christ himself-if such an announce ment as this were made, the people would to man scoff and ridicule the very idea. Perhaps a few of them, through idle curiosity or in an un- believing desperation, as drowning men who catch at straws, would visit these miracle workers and ask to be cured. But they would not believe that any miracles were worked. and if by any chance they should be benefited they would lay it to the practice of some sort of charlatanry, some hocus- pocus of tricksters that could be ex- plained on natural grounds.
 People are prone ito believe only so far as they know. They scout and de- ny that any man in these latter days possesses the power wielded by the healers who had but to lay their hands upon the sick and they were well; upon the blind and they saw; upon the deaf and they heard; upon the lame and they leaped The trouble is that people are superstitious with all their skepticism. Whenever any claim is made that goes against what they have seen and heard, they set the claimant down as a fake, forgetting that there are more things in heaven and earth than is dreamed of in their philosophy.
 There is man in Kansas City today who has worked veritable wonders. He has taken the lame and they have thrown away their crutches. He has laid his hands upon the suffering and their pain has stopped. He has snatched men and women, youth and and age and childhood, from the very jaws of death. He has heightened the span of human life and added years to the existence of 10000 patients during the seventeen years of his residence in this city.
 Dr. Carson, the man who has per- fomed these remarkable cures is not an astrologer; he is not magician; he is \ not an alchemist; he never read work on the Black Art in all his life, but he would have undoubtedly fallen a vic tim to the witchcraft delusion if he had lived in Salem toward the close of the seventeenth century, for he has cured by a touch. Without medicines or drugs or herbs or compounds or physic or knife or any instrument save the power with which he has been endowed by nature-a power which a quarter of a century of study has multiplied-he has done these, things of which those who have been the benefciaries know.
 Facts speak louder than words; crutches thrown away and pain ban ished, as at the touch of a wizard, are more eloquent and convincing than tes- timonials
 But there is nothing mysterious about 1t. There is nothing inexplica- ble about it. Patients may wonder and stand amazed at the cures he has wrought, but when the facts are learned it is seen that the cures are simply the result of an application of the laws of nature, rightly understood The relation of the soul and the body is the secret of it all. But it is still g secret to the average person. The par alytic is restored to the use of his limbs, but what does he understand about the relation of the soul and the body? Psychic sarcology'' sounds big, but it is just as big as it sounds with this difference, that it is not a mere sound, not mere theory or ab- struse science, but the most practical thing in the world The faults of mod ern medical schools are simply cor rected and the error of treating the body as thing apart from the soul is atoned for by an intelligent, a scien- tific application of the true fact, thai the soul and the body are more inti- mately connected than the two kinds of corpuscles in the blood, the different layers of the skin or the twin members each of which suffers from an injury to the other This is all the mystery there is to it
 H. Mockley, a butcher of Kansas City, Kan, had large tumor in an ar tery of his right leg. Circulation haG ceased and the leg and foot were al ready black. The best physicians O. this city said that amputation was ab solutely essential. But MT. Mockley still has two feet and he does not know he ever had a tumor He was treated by Dr. Carson. It may be thought tha man who can perform such cure. must charge enormous fees for his ser vices. But the contrary is the case
 
 he does not demand big retaining fee He can effect a cure and his charge are always commensurate with tn aihilitV of thp natiant tn nav Con
