THE MARVEL and MAJESTY OF Skill,
The knshp Great Skill Perfect Testimony
McCoy Superb Mastery of Disease From Washington

No veil of mystery surrounds this
testimony-no Juggling, no NEGRO
NANCY.
1t is printed as proof of the per-
sonal presence in Washington of the
Great Master. 1t is acknowledged
as such proof by the intelligent, who
know that it is only by his superb
skill that such cures are possible.
No glamor of exaggeration, no
false light of untruth. envelop this
testimony.
These are real patients, who will
talk to you if, you will go and see
them. They live in your midst.
Their evidence typifes the Truth in
Testimony, as distinguished from
falsehood and exaggeration.
When Doctor Mccoy returned
from Europe he found the pictorial
testimony, original with his practice,
debauched by Misrepresentation,
purchase Of evidence and all kinds of
unholiness. The publication of real
cures is his rebuke to this iniquity.
The majesty of Wonderful Skill
environs this testimony.
A skill which the profession as well
as the people recognize-a skill I'M
der which doubt is silenced, before
which falsehood falters, and with
which Truth proclaims its guarantee
of kinship.
