PROF. 8. a. WELTMER.

Almost every great discovery owes iU
origin to the master mind of an American
citizen. The curing of disease, which has
attracted the attention of more great
minds than any other profession. has at
last been placed into the domain of an
exact science. All diseases can now be
cured without the aid of drugs or the
surgeons knife through a method of Mag
netic Healing originated by that eminent
scientist Prof. S. A. Weltmer Of Nevada,
Mo- Just pause for moment and grasp
the enormity of this grand discovery.
Think of the thousands OF our noble wo-
men who have suffered the tortures and
he agonies of female troubles and who
could get neither relief nor cure from the
medical profession. These great sufferers
can now be cured and brought back into
that health which will permit them to
enjoy life; and then, again, think Of the
legion of men who have become weak and
debilitated through early indiscretions,
overwork and dissipation. and who have
taken gallons of obnoxious drugs with no
cure in sight; they can now look up with
hope in their eyes, for there is positive
and permanent cure for them in this eff
cacious method OF Magnetic Healing
known as Weltmerism. The archenemy OF
mankind-disease-ha at last found its
master. for Weltmerism, in perfectly
natural manner. goes to the very seat of
the trouble, and 1t can positively be stated
that this wonderful discovery will cure all
diseases no matter what the nature or of
how long standing. More than 100, 600 men
and women who have been cured of every
disease known through Weltmerism are
positive evidence that dispels further
doubt Weltmerism does not only cure

those cases t1at go to Nevada for treat
ment but through the Method known as
the Absent Treatment il cures at a dis
tance just as readily. The American
School of Magnetic Healing has received
thousands upon thousands of letters from
men and women who have been cured by
this New Science. and who thought il was
their duty TO testify the fact OF their cure
for the benefit of human beings that are
suffering. We are permitted to publish a
few of these testimonials:
T. T. Rodes. OF Paris. NO.. the ProseoYt-
ing Attorney for Monroe county. suffered
for years from Sciatic rheumatism. Tried
everything without benefit. Was instantly
cured through Prof. Weltmer's Absent
Treatment. Mr.. Rodes has recently won
fame as the attorney in the celebrated
Jester case. Mrs. C. r. Graham. OF Boise
City. Iowa. was afflicted for nine years
with rheumatism: she could not walk with
out crutches or lift her hands to her head;
she paid out $1,000 with doctors before
coming to Nevada. She now proclaims
herself cured and happy woman, through
Weltmerism. Mrs. d. H. Allen. of Au-
rora Springs, Mo-. was in a hopeless con-
dition, as she suffered from consumption
in its worst form. She could not sleep
without the aid of morphine. Tried every
thing without relief. Fully restored by
Prof Weltmers Absent Treatment ID. E.

suffered for three years with Kidney and
Stomach troubles; tried the best medical

was hopeless. Took Prof. Weltmer's ABB

cured.

Episode to Be Investigated by
Dean Wright, of the Faculty.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. Dec. 12.-Dean
Wright, of the Yale faculty will have be-
fore him today. Lewis Paul Brown, OF Des
Moines. Iowa. and James Vaudeville Car
Isle. Of Washington, theaqtwo juniors
whose fstic duel on Saturday lis the topic
at the University
1t turns out now that Browns first idea
was to fight with rapiers, and that he con-
sented to fight a twenty-roand go, when
Carlisle said he preferred natures weap-
ons He has a black eye asf a result OF
the battle. and Carlisle is,ecarTying one

by reporter. and made a plain state
ment regarding the event over which hun
dreds Of undergraduates are SO excited
that some OF them predict q duel with
lethal weapons in the near future. Il felt, :"
Brown said that Carlisle had insulted
me in several ways. His setting fire to
my hair with a match, In the classroom,
was not my only grievance. l challenged
him to meet me with any sort Of weapons.
He preferred fists, and We fought il out
in that way. until lot of students broke
in. Then ! declined to fight before a
crowd
From other sources more of the quar-
rel was learned. Brown is tail and an
sular, and eccentric. He is called a
grind here, as he is studious to an ex-
'treme. A week ago his room was raided,
his furniture was piled up in the middle
Of the apartment. and the place was
wrecked generally. He suspected at that
time that Carlisle was at the bottom of
the plot, but could not ascertain beyond
doubt Just who was the leader. He was
very indignant, and said he would meet
the man with rapiers IL the plotter would
declare his responsibility for the outrage.
The charge which the dean is inyesu-
eating is that the men we're guilty OF con-
duct unbecoming Yale undergraduates in

unreserved statement OF the facts in the
case. This statement will be considered by
the faculty committee on discipline, who
will then decide whether or not the ac-
cused men must appear before the faculty
in person. The next faculty meeting is set
for Thursday.
Brown and Carlisle kept away from their
avoid their undergraduate friends. who
came 10 their apartments to learn the de-
tails of the fight. Carlisle says he fought
only TO defend his honor. Dean Wright de-
clined TO talk about the case last night. say
ing that he knew only what enquiring re-
porters had told him about it.
