The exhibition opened last night with
very clear. concise and highly enter
tanning lecture on animal Magnetism"
by Professor w Fletcher Hall. In which
he explained the great possibilities OF
this most subtle power. going back 10
the time OF Mesmer. Paul Castor. and
other well-known magnets healers Of
former times. and comparing the great
results they obtained by the wonderful
cures effected daily by Hermann. who.
he demonstrated. possessed much
greater amount Of magnetism than that
OF any other person ever known.
Immediately following the lecture.
which was listened 10 with marked atten-
tion, the Great Healer was introduced
with few preliminary remarks concern
ing his power. and then Professor Hall
requested that the most seriols cases In
the audience be brought TO the stage for
treatment There was a general uprising
OF those occupying front seats. each one
evidently considering their one case the
most serious. A cripple with two
crutches was noticed by one OF the at
taches. seemingly the most serious OF
those present. and he was assisted to
the stage by two men, which he reached
with great difficulty The healer then
began his operations, which consisted
merely Of stroking the Satient's head.
base OF brain and affected parts. The
result was simply miraculous In less
than two minutes the patient. who could
scarcely hobble. with the assistance Of
a pair OF crutches and two men, arose
and walked across the stage with ease,
the audience manifesting their surprise
and approval by loud and continuous ap-
plause, which was repeated as patient
after patient threw away their crutches
and canes and descended the steps to
Join their anxious friends In the audience,
restored to health
That the days OF miracles Is past Is
generally conceded. but hundreds of peo-
pie In this city now think that they have
been revived. Last night cripples that
hobbled upon the stage left It without
their canes or crutches. Parslyzed folks
that had not moved a limb for years
were assisted to the stage. and. after
few moments treatment, went through
gymnastic performances like youngsters.
An old gentleman, who had not raised his
arms for years or bent over to put on
his shoes, was able to swing his arms
over his head like a windmill, and readily
stopped over several times so as to be
sure that he was not mistaken. And all
this and great deal more was the re-
suit OF simply laying on OF the hands
by Hermann the Healer.
While there were very many wonderful
cures performed last night. time pre-
vents more extended notice In this ar
tlcle, as the detailed report OF the demon
straion will be found in another coll
umn. Suffice to say. the exhibition last
night was all and more than 1t claimed
to be, and certainly proved to the most
exacting and incredulous that Hermann
the Healer possesses most wonderful
amount of magnetism, by which he is
enabled to produce astonishing results.
