"Twenty years Of total blindness; and
now restored to. sight most providen-
italy! Glory Hallelujah!" 30 .s..s j.
This, in brief, is the history of a
woman well. known in an interior city
who came to San Francisco for treat 3
ment a few weeks ago. Her case was
pronounced hopeless by. physicians and
oculists in this city, ands she stoically
resigned herself to her fate.
"Ah, the agony of despair!" she
said to a reporter yesterday after
promise of secrecy in her case, my
doom was pronounced and Iawas forced
to submit. Bat fortunately a surprise
was in store for me-a surprise as un-
expected as it was providential.'
Convinced that her caseawas hopeless
she was about to leave for home; when T.
sympathizing friend at her hotel in
formed her that there was one man in
the city to whom she might successfully
apply for relief. Mechanically she in
quired the name Of thissindividual and
then she was fold the name of Healer
Francis Truth at 440 Geayy street.
II confess I had little. hope, she said.

decimating fever when Twas 10 years. of :
age. and. my family Impoverished itself {,
in its. endeavors to restore my sight. .
came to Sam Francisco with little
promise of being successful, and was
about to leaYe the city when my atten-
ton was drawn to the remaEkableS cures :
effected by Healer, truth. Like Peter,
however, I doubted if there was any
balm in Gilead for me, but L neverthe-
less decided to visit. hfM from a, sense
of duty if Rothing more. The result is
all that 1 .cOuld.wisR, for / am able to

ness j am in the light again Healer
Francis TrutR did this for me, and to
say 1 am grateful 'wodld be expressing
it mildIys 1 am bBimming over with joy
and eXultatiOn." 90
Only three Cor four visits to Healer
Truth served to bring about this. mar
velous transformation. When the blind
woman entered his aoffice for the first
time, two Weeks ago, she CROPPED her
way with black-luster;: sightless eyes
After the first treatment she was over
joyed to detect flashes of Light before
her. At first indistinct and. spasmodic, !:
these flashes became steady and finally
she was in constant light.
II could not distinguish Objects" she
said, but when / looked INTO the sky I.
saw light and it filed my heart with
hope: On the third. visit i began TO dis q.
Germ objects, and one morning, when 1
opened my eyes after a refreshing
sleep, 1 found that my: sight. was COM:
pletely restored To say that I was
happy will give you only a faint idea of:
my emotions! Great CfQdl to have been
blind for twenty years, and tosee againl
Imagine it, my friend. Ah, the antics
was guilty of! 1 thanked heaven for
the blessing vouchsafed to me, and YOU
may be sure 1 did not forget Healer
Truth or the fortunate. chance that.
threw me in his path. He is authorized
to refer to me privately, but not to pub
lish my name for the present" s..
Day after day cures. as remarkable as
the one alluded to are being. effected by
Healer Truth. That he is becoming a
factor in the cause Of the afflicted is
shown by the extraordinary numbers of
persons who visit him daily. The
afflicted of every degree of life and suf-
fering from all the ills humanity is heir
to find in Healer Truth the absolute full
fl1ment of their hopes. Dozens who en-
tered his Office on crutches have, after
one or two visits, discarded them as
useless, and hundreds who were repeat
edly given up as. hopeless cases by or
binary practitioners have been COM
pletely restored to health under the
