ever attracted the attention or performed
so many startling cures as are credited to
this outbful healer since his advent here.
He is the talk of the town. One hears and
sees nothing hut "Boy Wizard'' He is the
chief topic of conversation on the streets,
in the stores, on the cars, in offices, at
homes in fact, everywhere. His name
coupled with the marvellous cures he has
accomplished the past two days upon the
public stage of Music hall, before thou

when they went in, but all were of one
mind when they went out, and that was
| that magnetism, AS possessed and exem-

While there we've many remarkable

other two at the request of the
audience, and because of the gravity
of their cond ton and the ap.

| their physicians. The manner in which

These aud many other cases of as many

greatly benefited. Surely the lame did
walk. the deaf did hear and the blind did

The demonstration last night. as on
| each previous occasion, was a most won

ulous have been convinced. Skepticism
has vanished, and the public of Los Ange-
