BY taking the patients hand Muller

and feels I'm his own body the pain that
troubled the sufferer. This, he says, Is
how be can diagnose a cdse without
asking any questions. Having located
the disease Muller proceeds to cure It
by the laying on Of hands.
Muller cures neuralgia easily by
sImething like the process Of hypnotic
suggestion. He claims to be most sue
cessful IN cases Of rheumatism and
partial paralysis.
Most Of the cases are simple" said
Muller. "This morning one Of my Gus
toners brought an 1S-months-old s,ild.
No one knew what was the matter
with the child. II had been ailing for
months. ] passed my hands over the
childs stomach. The little one cough

been swallowed months ago"
One case in point is vouched for by
neighbors.
A little boy was brought 10 the house
by his mother. Two or three years ago
he stuck a needle into his foot and
thought it had dropped out
Recently he complained of pains in
the calf Of his leg. When the healer
took the boys hand he claims to hare
mentally seen that piece of needle. II
was about a quarter of an inch long.
He rubbed the calf of the child's LEI
and worked the needle out. Since
entered his foot it had Travelled hall
way up TO the leg towards the knee.
For each laying on of hands Muller
receives so cents. when his patients
can afford it, If they are too poor to
pay he asks nothing.
Katie Weiss, a young woman living
on Arsenal street, had been suffering
from neuralgia for several days, and
at times was made frantic by the pain
Her case was an easy one for the big
Swiss blacksmith, who put his hand
upon her forehead, passed them up ant
down over her face and around th,
head. In five minutes the girl left, say
Ing her neuralgia had disappeared.
George Eckhart, the son of a saloon
keeper, who was Mullers first patient
has hip joint disease that has put hin

hasn't thrown away his crutches yet
but Muller rubs him daily, and the boz
says he Is able to stand for momen1

he is being greatly benefited by th'
treatment.
His patients protest against propose

brought In verdict exactly contfa'
dlctory 10 that the Coroner had pre-
pared. II was in the case Of tine SUD
den death Of lady who resided id
the northwestern section Of the city.
1t was some years ago. when Coroncrs
jurles were composed Of twelve men
good and true instead Of six. rs under
the existing practice. The latter l
think. however. is an Improvement on
the old number. and on the same plan
1t would be better to abolish them al
together and let the Coroner or some
Of his assistants investigate the case
and bring in the verdict that su,e' the
circumstances. II it is a serious mat
ter. the grand jury has to investigate
the case anyhow, and they can just as
wei! investigate It on verdict brought
in by one experienced man as by SIX
inexperienced men. The case that l
refer to Is one Of those sad suicides
the victim being a young married WON
ai,. who took exactly twenty times ~
much strychnine as she needed TO, to
end her existence.
-Four Of the jury, Ike myself. were
newspaper reporters, and we saw right
away that it was a case which should
be ended up right-otherwise the hus-
bard, a department clerk, and his two
baby children. when they grew up
might be saddened by 1t. After hear
TX the obtainable ev'tCuce, we asked
the Coroner and old Oiice Lieutenant
Noonan, who. as sanitary officer, super.
intended all inquests, to retire, as wa
wanted TO agree upon verdict. They
were both shocked for for years they
had run inquests in their own way
They declined, and the jury retired on
It's own account, with a remark by
the foreman that they would at some
future time inside of month fix up a
verdict and mail it to them. The Coro
ner got very warm and demanded that
as all the facts showed a case of sui
eide that should be the verdict. The
jury replied it mattered not what the
facts were, they had decided that II
was n case Of accidental death and
they could not think of finding any
other verdict. In a week they signed
such verdict and rs far as the record
shows the death was accidental. The
husband is still living and the children
have grown up. Their family record
has not been spoiled by the blot that q
suicide would have put on it. 1t was
bad enough for the mother to suicide
but there were reasons for 1t, and thai
Coroner's jury did not propose to make
a lot of innocent persons suffer in con
sequence Of it,"

superintendent of the Lakeland Asylum
Passes Away.
lLouisyille Tlmes. Man ID

DR.. Hugh Flournoy McNary, Su-
perintendent of Lakeland Asylum,
died at an early hour this morning at
the home of his sister, Mrs. P. H.
Darby, l496 Second street, of heart
disease.
Dr. McNary was born in Princeton
sixty years ago. He was the son of
Pr, Thomas Logan and Maria Louisa
McNary. There were five children
His sister, Mrs. John Watts Kearny
died February ~, 1896, in New York
and his brother, Walter Scott Nc
Nary, died May l, 1891. Two sisters
survive, Mrs. P. H. Darby and Miss
Bette McNary.
DR.. McNary received his early edu.
cation at Princeton, KY, where he at
tended private schools, and later Co.
lumbia College, from which institu-
ton he graduated when seventeen
years old. He began the study of
medicine under his father, who pre-
pared him for entrance into the
Medical University of Louisville,
from which he graduated. He, then
attended Harvard College where he
also graduated in medicine.
He began practice in this city dur
ing the war. being stationed under
DR.. Joshua B. Flint, an eminent
ply stefan, at army hospital No. 2.
Later DR.. McNary was transferred to
the general hospital at Jacksonville.
He was sent on the expedition up Red
river to care for the wounded. To-
ward the latter part of the war he was
sent to New Orleans in charge of a
party of wounded, making trip by
boat.
After the war DR.. McNary practic-
ed medicine in Louisville for several
years. He gave up his practice to ac-
cept the position as first assistant
physician at the Western Asylum,
Hopkinsville. At the end of two
years he resigned and went to Prince
ed, where he practiced until he was
superintendent at Lake
land, March l, 1896, which appoint
ment came as surprise to him, be-
ing entirely unsolicited. This token
OF the friendship which had existed
between him and the Governor was
much appreciated.
DR.. McNary was never married.
During his residence at Princeton he
lived with his mother and sister. The
former died May ii, 1892. When APP
pointed to Lakeland DR.. McNarv took
his sister there with him to assist him
in the work. She has devoted her
life to him as he had to her.
AS the Superintendent of the Lake
land Asylum, DR.. McNary was in the
highest sense a model. The compli-
ment was frequently passed that his
was the best appointment Gov. Brad
ley has made. From the President
Of the Board of Commissioners to
the lowliest employee, everybody hon
ored him. He was a courageous and
an upright man, applying himself
always to the best interests of the
State.
