THE MYSTERY OF WARTS.
If You Buy Them They Will Leave
the Victim Soon.
From the New York RIn

| L have been interested for some years in
| the mystery of warts" Nearly forty
| years ago, when very small boy, l dis
| PEELED warts that were upon my own hands
| by rubbing them with a piece of common
| school crayOn. l am a graduate of a New
| York city medical college. and am legally
qualified to practice medicine in New York
and New Jersey, and 1 frankly admi- that
| my usual method of removing warts from
my patients has in recent years been by
| the method of buying them. To explain
my modus operandi, 1 usually give the pa
tent bright penny or nickel, and assure
him positively that the warts will soon dis
, appear; that they are mine by purchase,
and SO must leave him. Usually they dis
appear in from four to ten weeks. Among
my wart patients have been the son and
daughter Of a well-known doctor of diyin-
ity, and girls and boys of Intelligence, mem
bers of our high school, who are preparing
for entrance into our best universities and
colleges. l mention this class of patients
to show that the plan works upon the in
telligent and cultured as well as upon the
ignorant and the superstitious. By way of
illustrati ton l will narrate two instances of
cure. A mother consulted me about an
enormous seed wart upon the left elbow of
her son. The Wart was fully as large as
silver half dollar, and when the boy bent
his arm the wart would crack and bleed
L offered the boy new, bright penny for
the wart. and at first he could not grasp
the idea that L was serious in my proposal
to buy the wart. In a few weeks l was
interested to find upon examination that
exactly one-half of the wart had disap-
peared. 1t seemed as though the wart had
been divided through the middle, and one
half of it had been shaved or scraped away.
assured the boy that the remaining por-
ton would soon disappear, and SO it did.
A young woman behind the counter of
one of our local stores had her hands dot
ted all over with warts. l judge she had
not less than thirty each hand. When
l inquired why she did not get rid of tnem
she replied that she had tried many rene
dies, but they had all failed, and she was
discouraged in her efforts. l then offered
to buy them of her for penny. The meth
cd being so easy and pleasant, she agreed
to sell them to me, and after a number of
weeks they all disappeared.
l can offer thoroughly scientific eX-
PLANTATION for these facts beyond the state
ment that they come under the head of
mental influence. l assert with such posi-
tiveness my ability to dispel warts by pur-
chase that my patients ''subconscious self
or subjective mind is impressed by my
asseveration, and, although my claim is
met by smile of increduity, through their |
belief in me and the force of my assevera-
ton, they half expect it will occur as | |
declare it will. The ''subconscious Self" or |
as Hudson denominates ii, the subjective |
mind" presides over the activities of our |
physical functions, namely, our physical |
life, independently of our reasoning facul- |
ties, our intellect or our objective mind |
