What is Palmistry? Is it simple guess
work or is it real science? This is a question
thousands of men well versed in average
knowledge have attempted to solve and failed
Since times remote, as far back as the begin
ming OF history. palmistry is spoken of and re-
ferred to; We find relies of palmistry in 'he
ruins of Babylon, we'll as in the ruins of
Pompei and Herculaneum in the tombs of
Egypt and in ancient as we'll as modern India.
The Holy Bible refers to 1t in several places,
tions possess this method OF that science. Prof.
A. Myers, gifted by nature with acute percep
tion and intuitive faculties has since his earl
lest youth tried to solve this pro oblem. By birth
a Hungarian, he came in contact with people
VINO have practced palmstry since times re-
mote Gypsy. But this method was not sufi-
cient to enable the solving OF the question.
Being the child of well -to-do parents, he had
all the advantages money could procure IN be-
ing educated, He took Il physiological course
to get thorough knowledge of the construc-
tion of the human body, especially OF the brain
and hands. After having acquired sufficient
knowledge in that direction he commenced to
travel He has circuted this globe at least half
a dozen times, visiting and living in every
ton who had a method of this great science.
He has learned all the methods aud separated
the reliable from the unreliable. Prof. A.
Myers made method of his own, which COM
bined with his metaphysical knowledge, has
made him a master OF a science, which, in gram
deur and benefit to humanity, has no equal.
1t covers everything pertaining to human life.
The intellect, inclination, fear, health, joys
and disappointments: Prof A: Myers has not
a perfect command OF the English language.
and is therefore unable to lecture or write
books forcing the attention OF the American
public in that way All his work is done in
private: he cordially invites the public and
will advise on all subjects. OF course, there
in the average knowledge will ridicule ard
make slight of everything which goes above
their horizon of understanding. Such people
do not want to be convinced and tie professor
will be glad if they will not lntrude on his
valuable time. But all the skeptcs that
are open to conviction are cordially invited
ha har
are many people who title them
selves with some of the above-named sci
ences. but who in reality hardly know the
meaning of the word, less of the science itself.
The United States abounds with people who
title themselves palmists, pretending to be
able to read the past, present and future, % but
than the individual consulting them But it
is well established TACT that the American
public will patronize pretenders and fakirs
rather than real knowledge.
PROFESSOR A. MYERS may unblushingly
assert that, with the possible exception of Mr.
Cairo. there is no palmst clairvoyant or
whatever the so-called fortune telers may
term themselves, who can reveal to the indi
vidual the following facts: The number OF
dead and living members OF their family: to
locate marks or scars on their body, and un-
erfingly describe the cause of same; to state
the country of birth, the age, if they are un-
married or married, and how many times they
have been married. and various other facts too
numerous here to mention: to describe accu-
rately the present circumstances and give
correct description of the future.
During his ten months stay in this city he
has gained thousands of clients and friends
among the most intellectual class of people,
who will testify to the truth OF the above as
sertiOn.
His charge for reading in general is 81.

medical diagnoses given from to a. II.
