this doctor is called-and he has a large
practice and a great rcputation-he takes
with him a medicine case. lie finds the
patient sick with diphthcria. Taking ont
@ bottle Of curative medicine. he tells the
patient TO lie still and take his medicine
CURING DIPHTHERIA.
Now comes the wonderful part The
doctor places the bottle of medicine
against the affected part, I'm this instance
the patients throat, and holds it there
! quietly for five minutes. we are now
giving medicine by absorption says ne.
This medicine permcatos the system and
acts upon the throat. IL is very power
ful. Ii acts Immediately when admins
tered in this way. You viii soon 80 TO
sleep
"And the patient does 80 to sleep. Ills
mind, ulcd by the feeling of the bottle
on his throat. passes away into slum-
berland and the doctor, meanwhile, in
structs the nurse how 10 take care of the
patient. As often as he awakcs and gets
restless the bottle is rolppliod. The nurs-
ing goes on; and the patient gradually
RECEIVERS. This has succeeded in every
case. except one out of eighty sick peO-
pie and their diseases ran all the way
from govt TO fcvers. from cold TO serious
internal troubles.
In New York there is talk about start
ing a chair Of hypnotsm I'm the colleges.
Any sound mind can De hypuotizcd and
the extent 20 which the cure can 90 on
while the patient is soothcd i'm mind de-
ponds upon the disease. Summer all
ments are peculiarly susceptible TO hyp-
notism. Convince q patient that he is cool
and comfortable take away worry and
tell him that boiled milk is lager beer AND
ice-crcam and he viii get well Of his
summer disorders. This sounds trivial for
physician of standing TO discuss but
the better the doctor the more readily he
will study new things for human relief.
THE Healer Shradcr is unworthy med
ical discussion because ne has neither
methods or science. lie works on the
mind. lic tells a man a pain is gone
and tho pain goes. \ physician can 90
the same thing with a drop of chloroform.
The pain comes back I'm both cases. but
there is temporary relief II 10 comes
back The man sees Shrader again. II he
can see him often enough he will get well
because he is naturally recovering all the
time.
In cases OF surgical need. Of consump-
ton. Of any incurable disease there IS no
euro and the patient dies almost AT the
feet Of the lfcalcr. from lack of faith,
the Healer says.
SPIRITUAL IMPROVEMENT.
There is one very beneficial effect OF
the llealer's presence. IL improves the
spiritual and physical life OF a man. lie
is q better man while being treated by
the nealsr.
IF man intends 10 rise NJ daybreak
an. walk three miles TO bo healed by the
Healer he does not so upon a midnight
orgic the night before. He goes 20 bed
carly and sleeps a long. sweep sleep. But
n he goes into "a physicians hands ne acts
differently. 4 might as well have "a good
time while I can he says. and he fills
up the glass once more. so much more
for you TO do, Doctor
But the Healer Keeps his patients IN
praycrful. submissive mood. sober.
temperate peaceful. loving and in the
state OF passiyity in which nature created
them.
Now. / am not going 10 decry the
Healer AS | said I'm the beginning. he
is foe unworthy my steel. l admire
