who knows. My wife did all kinds of
wonders for Mrs. Jetmore Course
you know Judge Hazen. Well, the judge
was trea ted, and there's Mrs. Snattin-
ger on West Tenth street that used to
have my wife come up every week
And Mr.. Avery Washburn and his son
Frank, and Franks wife. Talk about
prominent people, 1 guess we know who
our patients are.
This here treatment of ours is most

puts her hands on you and shakes you
a little, and then you feel all your pain
and all your sickness going. We give
just to kindly stimulate them, you
know, but that's all the medicine We
use. I diagnose all the cases inside of
minute with the charged phials we
The doctors husband walked over to
a table and removed a cloth. The
charmed phials lay in full sight. They
were four pint bottles filled with liquid
and when they stood up showed a sed-
iment in the bottom. He lit two small
lamps and placed them at either corner
of the table. Three of the bottles were
then placed in a row between the lamps
and the fourth set behind the others.
This is the position we have the
phials when we diagnose a case" said
he. Everything is revealed. My wife
can not only tell you what the matter
is by looking at the phials, but she
can tell your past and future as we'll"
This here business of mine amt run
it ought to be right now" said Mrs.
Thompson. 1T needs brass band to
go along with it. I'll have things my
own way here some day, I guess
Whatever Mrs. Thompson's power in
reality may consist of, the scores Of
people who visit her believe that she
can benefit them, and many state that
she has already performed remarkable
cures. The woman has risen from des-
CircllStA
means of her power and has now
small amount to her credit in one of
the Topeka banks. Those who claim
to have been benefited by her tell their
friends of their experience, and in con-
sequence the doctors practice is grow
ing daily.
People who have visited Mrs. Thomp-
son credit her healing power purely to
magnetic influence and the strength to
properly given massage treatment
Scracelyanyone of her patients believe
natural means.
Il believe that every person possess
ses magnetic power to some extent"
said Judge Hazen, "and this woman
seems to possess it to a remarkable de-
gree. She gave Mrs. Hazen several
treatments and apparently benefited
her. She is strong and healthy and
capable of giving good massage treat
ment.''
Mother believes that Mrs Thomp-
son did her q great deal of good" said
think there is a good deal to be derived
from magnetic and massage treatment
Now there's Charlie Nelson, secretary
of the Athletic association. He believes
that this woman saved his life after the
doctors in town had given him up. She
undoubtedly has power of some kind
sufficient to benefit people,
There seems to be no doubt of the
doctors magnetic power, and it seems
to be of the same quality as the famous
Schlatter's. This peculiar effect of
strong animal magnetism on those suf-
fering from nervous or chronic de-
rangements has often been noted by
physicians and it is now generally ad-
mitted that it has the power to cure
These "healerS'' are peculiarly gifted
people. By some combination, psycholo-
gical or otherwise, they can control the
health of their patients. Strange as it
seems, it is a matter that cannot be
doubted. This power is as likely to re-
pose in an ignorant colored woman as
in the most cultured and enlightened
Many scientists are investigating these
peculiar powers, and at no distant day
another wonder of the powers and at
tributes of the human race is likely to
be unveiled. Christian science and
philosophy may be faint glimmering
