DR.. DAMoNs GRAND WORK
As Seen by a New York Reporter at
the Hyperion Yesterday.

BLINDNESS ana DEAFNESS Cured IN
Twinkling, While Tumors Disappear
Like NIagic-Intense Excitement Over
the Marvellous Cures-over 1900 Ladies
Present.
We came from New York to New Fla
ven expecting to see wonders, for the
trip, the town, everything was new to
us. And above all else the marvellous
work of the Vitapathic doctors, reports
of which had reached us and attracted
us hither, 1t seemed impossible to COM
pare any similar mode of cure of which
we had knowledge, with this new sys-
tenn known as Vitapathy. Christian
science, faith cure" and all the other
pathies We're thrown in the shade, so
to speak, if half the stories told us of
the Vitaoathic cures were really true.
Passing over the many beautiful feat
ures o. the city we will devote our
space to the prime object of our visit
q call upon DR.. Damon at the Elliott
house-the true apostle of Vitapathy
and sole founder Of it's system in the
east.
1t is needless to dwell upon this gen
Haven, where the esteem in which he
is held for his many good works is the
theme of this appreciative city. We ac-
cepted his cordial invitation to attend
the lecture and clinics on ladies' day,
and as he urged us to the closest scru-
tiny, and questioning of his patients,
and we knew we were subjecting our
own spirit to proper discipline for it's
predisposition to doubt everything of
marvellous tendency made many things
in lie hard to get over" We, there
fore, were prepared to interview the
clinics patients by probing them with
vital questions. AS the hour for the
lecture approached the beautiful little
Hyperion" became packed from pit to
dome with a peculiar audience-pecu
liar, because composed entirely of wo-
men--the eairest and the best Of New
Haven's elite. as we'll as very many
anxious suffering ones, who being I'M
able to pay for treatment at office, had
come to be cured at these free clinics
without money and without price" be-
fore an immense jury Of fair and just
judges.
What a scene the pretty little theater
presented os Darterres of flowers of
every hue, and age and beauty of every
phase!
How eagerly and with what silence
they listened to the lecture from start
to finish. And it was so clear, convinc-
ing and graphic, and so ably Illustrated
by charts that no mind could fail to
comprehend it. Listening to the able,
earnest exposition of the philosophy and
practice of the science of Vitapathy we
felt assured that 1t is a something with
which ouacks and humbugs can have
naught to do, for it's methods are based
upon principle that respond only to the
mighty power of a force that Is the life
and soul of all animated nature. which
these doctors have mastered completely
as did Morse electricity or Fulton
steam. Nor do they conceal the secrets
of their discovery. On the contrary, the
doctors explain how it may be intelli-
gently utilized by families upon their
respective members, thus saving for
tunes in doctors and drug bills. AT
the close of a lecture that we felt was
well worth not only trip from New
York, but across the Atlantic, we
awaited the coming of the patients to
the stage in response to a cordial invi-
tation to the most chronic cases of
every description preferring, as the
doctors explained, the most helpless
ones that physicians had abandoned
These given below are but few OF
the many who presented themselves
for treatment, and we frankly admit
that the results were quite sufficient to
completely aston!sh even our New
York eyes! The first patient had suf-
fered for years with neuralgia of stom-
ach and heart. After a brief treatment
she was completely relieved. With
tears of joy and gratitude she took the
doctors hand and invoked Gods bless
ing upon his head
Another case was that of deafness
and excessive nervousness that almost
amounted to paralysis. In a few mo-
ments she could speak louder and hear
| better than in IL years.
An interesting case was that OF
a young girl, a consumptive, who, after
but two treatments was cured.
Many ladies of the audience expressed
their surprise at her Improvement. One
| woman was cured of deafness and
rheumatism, each of long standing
"God bless them this day!" broke from
her lips as she left the doctors hands a
well woman.
| One lady with whom we chatted SAID
she came expressly to see the doctors
| and thank them again for the cures
| performed upon members of her fami-
| ly, where numerous other physicians
| had failed. One, niece, cured of dis
ease of the lungs, and sister of hear
| disease, both permanently well anG
| happily married. She was a Mrs. Brad
| ley of New Haven.
| Mrs. Cohn. who had suffered grea
pain from rheumatism was entirely re
lieved She had sought help in tn,
woman's hospital in New York 70,
months without success. A young wo
man was heard to say that she coulc
now breathe freely for the first tim
| in 13 years. The doctor had just reliev
/ ed her of large goitre.
Another patient was also cured o
| tumor, and partially so of a second sim
liar growth, after but few moment
| treatment.
A Julia Wood was relieved Of deaf
ness of IL years duration.
And one patient had the sight almos
completely restored after years of blind
ness, so that she could for the frs
time distinguish objects, however re
mote 1t is impossible at this writin
