professions, and perhaps no period in
church history has witnessed such dill

"Massage, oateopathy and strictly
magnetic treatment require no
faith on the part OF the patient nor
special religious character on the part
OF the healer. Hence, while acknowl-
edging the merits of these methods
and as occasion may demand making
use OF such ~ may be needed regard
ing the real source of the best results
as of higher origin l prefer the term
Healer and have so announced my
self. am not graduate of any of
the two or three weeks school OF
magnetism although well acquainted
with the theories and methods of sew
eral of the most conspicuous. My
recent trips to Kirksville, Sedalia,
Nevada and Sweet Springs were for
the purpose Of securing, by personal
Investigation and experience, such
q knowledge OF the special methods
employed as would enable me to dis
ouss the whole subject fairly. 1t is my
intention to investigate, ct my earliest
convenience, and in the same way,
Christian science and divine healing.
"6ince March 1, when began TO lay
hands on the sick with fasting and
prayer, there have been number Of
remarkable recoveries, confirming my
faith In the perpetual obligation of GER
tain New Testament declarations and
precepts, usually limited in application
to theApostles and apostolic age, Some
of these may be accounted for upon
magnetic theories; others must de-
eide cannot be go accounted for with
out destroying faith in Jesus and
Gods promises. Testimonials and
references could be given concerning
these things If wanted. It is my pro-
found conviction that we are entering
upon an era of development on this
line which viii excel in astonishing
results the discoveries and applioa-
tons of electrical science.
Gas the matter of healing in answer
TO prayer is dependent upon the faith
Of the patient and the will of the
Heavenly Father, as wen as upon the
faith Of the healer, we refer the in
terested student to the New Testa-
ment and tho testimony of eminent
saints, ministers and missionaries,
many of which may be found in any
preachers library. Experiences OF
this class are not heralded to scoff-
ing world, but may be obtained from
many sanity soul In heart-to- heart
talk on the promises of God.
"Psycho-theraphy, or mental heal
ing, lie, however, now under investi-
CATION. My experience covers quite
q variety Of diseases--from catarrhal
and neuralgia headaches, rheumatism
and other painful maladies, relieved
entirely, to stomach, bowel and nerv-
GUS troubles-which had existed for
years.
"MrF. Martha Jackman, of Sweet
Springs, after nearly two weeks treat
ment, says;
"'I was afflicted with chills for
eight months and could get no perma-
nent relief. Nothing would stop the
ehiIls but arsenic, and that only for
two or three days at time. ]. W.
Robbins called; the chill was on me
when be came; was better In q few
minutes; have had no chills since.
Had . bad cough, which is better also.
Fad not sat up more than fifteen min
utes for twenty-slx weeks; now l cit
up two or three hours at q time two
or three times 3 day
"Mr. 8. Doty, Of the same place, was
afflicted with stomach trouble for six
years; had not been able to retain his
food for about g month. Was treated |
enc week, and after fret treatment
vomited bat once; Is now well and |
hearty and shows 1t.
0Many doctors are using psyche |

not oppose, medical pkactice and
think every doctor should study meta
physical ~ well as physical methods
