controls the mental faculties, also
sight and speech. This. again, is plainly
IN evidence, and can easily be treated.
Mr.. Rogers has examined hundreds of
CRIMINALS and insane people, AMI
claims that in no single instance has
he found one who was perfect at this
nerve center. In every case of mental
ana moral shortcoming he has found
something out of order there. which
may easily be cured by a simple opera
ton. or course, the best way to do this
IS 10 start al infancy. but it is never too
late, and even octogenarians have found
marked relief under his system
AS stated, Mr.. Rogers disclaims the
possession or any mysterious power,
other than is within the reach of all.
He simply shows people how to cure
themselves What he claims is that
he has met with phenomenal success
in locating all manner of diseases or
unnatural conditions. and has Wit
messed, with the pleasure of human
tartan, many marvellous cures The
secret of these cures is, that. instead III
dealing with effects, he shows people
how to go direct to the cause In
short, the most remarkable thing about
his treatment is it's simplicity, and pa-
tients, after adopting it, are lost in
wonder at the fact that poor humanity
should have been struggling along for
stumbling on to these great and simple
truths. When the reporter mentioned
this Mr.. Rogers drew his attention TO
the fact that almost all tribes of people
who are still living in a state of nature
are we'll acquainted with these truths
and practice the system which he ad-
vocates, to a greater or less extent. It
IS also well known fact that the sud
den dilation of the nerve center which
governs the circulation of the blood has
frequently been proved to be efficacious
IN restoring those who are apparently
dead, and is recommended to be used
IN case of accidental shocks from elec-
tricity IN an article published in a re-
cent issue of the Scientific American
Mr. Rogers claims to be able to locate
almost any difficulty by simply hearing
description of the case 1t is desira-
Die to see the patient, but not absolutely
necessary. No examination ofthe per-
son is required. unless it is to satisfy the
applicant Mr.. Rogers does not even
examine the pulse or the tongue, nor
does he use any foreign language or
employ any guesswork or deception He
does not deny that cures are often made
by medicine-or in spite of it-but mostly
curing the bark and not the bite of the
disease, or, in other words, only be-
numbing the sensibiity without stop
ping the warfare of disease.
Mr.. Rogers grew eloquent in describ-
ing the advantages to humanity that
would follow a more general treatment
of the nerve center that operates the
brain. With that focal center placed in
good order, he claims that there would
be an end to family quarrels, crime muir
der and evil indulgences which wreck
so many lives All these things, he
claims are mainly traceable to imper-
fection at this small focus, which may
easily be remeded. That there are no
Jews in our prisons or insane asylums
should attract the attention of thinking
people.
A STRIKING DISCOVERY.
When asked for information in re-
gard to the origin of his system of treat
ment which is now attracting such wide
attention among physicians and others
in this section, Mr.. Rogers referred the
reporter to the following item in a re-
cent issue of the Missing Link
"Over eight years ago stiff lay upon
a Chicago dissecting table. The lesson
for the day was the sympathetic nerves.
There was pimple on the face of the
corpse, which the teacher instructed
his pupils to dissect and trace its nerve
as far as possible. Being red, like the
pimple, it was carefully traced down
the back and found to be inf1amed all
the way to its terminal at the rectum.
Inc professor, DelnS OIL a lOSlcal turn OIL
mind, struck a new idea, which is al
ready turning curative measures up
side down. Like the other great Chi
cago fire, it had small start, but is
vanquishing every foe wherever this
truth is made known"
FACTS THAT TALK
When asked in regard to some spe-
ciic cases in which benefit had been
derived from his system, Mr.. Rogers
showed the reporter a score of strong
testimonials from persons who had writ
ten to express their thanks and admi-
ration for the benefit which they had
received. Space will only permit the
mention of few of these. 1t is an easy
thing to make up testimonials from
grateful patients" as many advertis-
ing quacks do without giving any names
or giving the names of people who al
ways live about thousand miles away
from the place where the statement is
published. In these cases the names
and addresses are all given AM they
are we'll known residents OF Los Ange-
les and other places in California.
POLICE INTERFERENCE
One of the most striking cases re-
ported was by Mr.. j. c. Lamoreaux,
proprietor of the American restaurant.
nearly opposite the Missing Link A.ftice.
His 8-year-old daughter, though I'M
commonly bright, could not talk so as
