The Vermont healer does not pretend
to know anything about his powers be-

he does not understand it and cannot
explain it. He denies that he is either
spiritualist, hypnetist or faith curist.

265 pounds and he has the athletic
build of a prizefghter. He has fine

Although not a man of refinement

JUST PLAIN HEALER.
No HypnOtism About Newell,
the Vermont Schlatter.
An Unlearned Blacksmith Said to

An Unlearned Blacksmith Said to
Possess Great Power as a Healer.
The Prince Of Wales is to have the
honor in a few days Of being presented
to Bradley c. Newell, the Vermont
healer, for that interesting individual
is now on his way to London. Healer
Newell seems to be one Of the most ac-
ceptable Of his class that has yet ap-
peared. He is big, wholesome, hearty
country blacksmith, who makes use of
no sort Of mysterious mummery and is
entirely modest in his claims.
Newell halls from the small village
of Jacksonville, which has once before
figured in history as the birthplace of
Brigham Young. Up to about year
ago he knew nothing about his remark
able powers. One day last August as he
was working at his anvil he says he felt
a peculiar buzzing sound in his ears
and then he felt he could cure people.
The next day he dispelled a severe head
ache from which his wife was suffering.
She has never had one since. He next
treated his sister-in-law for cOnsump-
ton. She is a well woman today.
Then he extended his practice to his
neighbors and his fame began to spread.
In a short time he was known as the
Vermont Schlatter. People began to
come from other towns to be cured of
various diseases. Sometimes he was
successful, but not always. His most
remarkable cure was that of little girl
who had been dumb since she was 4
years old. He placed his fingers in her
ears and she began to talk. She has
completely recovered her powers Of
speech.
So many people began to seek out
Newell that he shut up his blacksmith
shop and went into the business of heal
ing, charging a regular fee. He was
entirely frank about the matter. He
was willing to heal people, but he
thought that those who could pay for
his services should do so. His fame
spread all over the state. He was in
vited to give exhibitions of the peculiar
manner in which his power could be
manifested and these were attended by
