The phenomenal cures made by Prof.
| Coffey during the past few years have
been so astounding and wonderful as to
attract the attention of scientists and
physicians all over the world. At first
his methods were treated with doubt
and derision. He was compelled to pub
licly demonstrate the supreme capabili-
ties of this science, until it is now ack-
| nowledged by all who have witnessed
| his marvellous exhibitions of healing in
public in Mechanics hall, that perfec-
ton in healing disease without medicine
is at last d startling reality.
The Nineteenth Century has been
correctly termed the most important in
mechanical improvement, scientific adj
vancement and mental development.
Marvellous results, achieved through the
use of steam. electricity and other
forces have followed one another with
such rapidity that one scarcely realizes
their magnitude or comprehends their
value
In the mighty evolution of human
progress, one science alone-that of
curing disease-tke most important to
mankind, has fingered longest in the
mists of ignorance, pretension and de-
spair. 1t is but fitting, therefore, that
the close of this marvellous century
should be marked by the discovery and
control of a power so efficacious in its
application and wide reaching in its re-
suits as to completely overshadow all
other achievements made in the art of
healing during the past. Professor ].
P. Coffey, residing at 212 Columbus
avenue, Boston, has revolutionized the
science of healing by the discovery and
perfection of a method which seems
destined to replace all other means of
banishing pain and disease.
Professor Coffey does not resort to
the use of dangerous medicines to pro-
duce these marvellous results. He (by
the simple laying on of the hands,
transmits the vital force of the brain
to the defective parts and the result
i'll many cases is obtatred in moment
of time. Nine cases out of ten any
durable diseases can be controlled by
few treatments.
BY this apparently simple method,
many who are being systematically
drugged to death are saved from pre-
mature graves and given the use of
their faculties and senses in a short
time.
Prof. Coffey claims disease is not
necessary or in harmony with natures
divine plan. Marvellous as his work
may appear he is simply doing that
which history and the teachings Of
science show has been and can be done,
and that which well informed men
know can be done and is being done in
this age, his work has been successful
and most magnificently successful.
He heals the sick and cures those who
are diseased, and he does it upon sci
entifc principles. He does not cure
every one. He never told anybody he
could cure everything. He has delivered
free lectures to the public of this city,
and in every one of those lectures he
said he did not pretend to be omnipo-
tent in power, nor did he claim to be
able to heal everybody.
In a personal interview Prof. Coffey
says: l claim disease to be the direct
result of ignorance or neglect and that
the two principal causes which prevent
a sick person from getting well are
fear and medicine. Any morbid action
of body or mind is disease. Fear weak
ems the system, lowers the vitality and
renders us negative. Medicine is COM
pound of animal, mineral, or vegetable
poison. Scarcely one single drug now in
use can be said to be harmless.
1 know of no drug that contains a
true nutritious substance. 1 know of no
reason why physicians should continue
to use dangerous. poisonous drugs,
which at best only antidOte pathology
cal conditions, without one iota of life
or strength in them to increase the
pabulum of life.
1 claim it is a sham to hold the
masses in bondage to such hypnotic de-
lusions. The time is not far distant
when the blind will refuse to follow
the blind into the ditch" The scales are
fast falling from their eyes. People will
