Talking with Congressman Q. IL.
Yoakum recently, be remarked that
there were 80 many things IN every
day affairs, that we can not under
stand, things that can not be explained
upon any known hypothesis OF physlo
logical laws For Instance, take the
operations of an electric battery APP
piled TO the seat OF rheumatic or neu-
ralglc pains how does the current oper'
ate to drive out such diseases and leave
the afflicted member free from palni
The operations % n battery are won
derful, but there Is much more won
dcrful matter. and that Is, a human
electric battery, or whatever else II
may be called. ! refer 10 the grand
powers by which DIR. Frank Tanning Is
enabled 10 relieve 80 much suffering
Why. Il Is wonderful
Colonel NOakum said he had ire
quently heard Of DIR. Tanning but had
paid little attention 10 him until about
three months ago. lie had suffered for
some time with an attack Of rheuma-
tism In his right arm. which 81 mened
the arm TO such an extent that he found
Il impossible to sleep nc night except
/ by laying that arm out on a pillow. II
/ palncd him 80 that he could not put on
his coat without the assistance OF some
one, aud could only put ON his hat with
the left hand. AS for writing, while
he could do some Of Il by resting his el
bow on a table, Il was too much Of a
task to perform much OF II.
About this time DR. Frank Tanning
was In town, and although Colonel
Yoakum had heard OF him, he had hui
little faith In his powers. However, he
was induced 10 give the doctor a trial
When DR.. Tanning had examined the
arm. he said the seat OF the pain was
Ia the shoulder. Colonel Yoakum told
him that Il was the elbow which hurt
him No much, but DR. Tanning said b,
would convince him that the shoulder
was the seat Of Il. lie began manlp
ulatlng the shoulder. and Z feeling 4
believing. he soon convinced Cuitne
Ybakum that his thoo y was correct
and that In having his elbow trcate,
heretofore. the colonel had begun a
the wrong place. Well. 10 make a loni
story short. DIR. Tanning gradual!
moved the pain down the arm 10 IN
elbow. and Colonel oakum said h
could feel q coming down as he woull
feel the pulling on Of a tight sleeve
When Il got 60 the elbow the pain BE-
came almost insupp0riahlc. but IN
doctor kept on pushing Il down 10 III
wrist. aud from there into the hand
aud from there Il was taken out Of th
ends ~ his fingers, each finger IN turn
the doctor apparently pulling Il out Z
his hand and throwing Il OF ~ b
would M much water. The little fiT
ger Of his right hand had been stlff an
without feeling, but as the docto
rubbed Il. the finger became llmbe
aud has remained perfectly nexlbl
ever since.
Colonel Yoakum says there has bee
no return Of the pain In his shoulde
arm or hand although he intends ha'
