formed Upon Them. /
The Astonishing Recovery of Two
Well Known Akron Citizens
Credited to the Boy
Phenomenon.
His Many Remarkable Cures Have
Created An Exciting Episode
In Our City.

/ The past week our citizens have
been electrified, dumbfounded, bewil-
dered, and finally convinced by a
most wonderful occurrence. Almost
daily during that time reports have
reached the public press and been the
chief topic of conversation upon the
streets relative to the surprising and
unparalleled cures of prominent citi-
zens accomplished by mere youth,
known as the Boy Phenomenon. The
healing of so many well-known per-
sens of ailments supposed to be in
durable has attracted the most wide
spread attention and were source OF
wonder and astonishment every
where. In fact so remarkable were
the results achieved that they We're
almost beyond human belief, and not
until incontrovertible facts, support
ed by overwhelming evidence of au-
thenticated and indisputable proofs
were obtained would they be given
credence.
But thanks to discriminating pub
lie, truth, honesty, merit and skill
have triumphed, and today animal
magnetism and the Boy Phenome-
non stand. without a peer, preeml-
nently at the head of all healing
agencies.
The unparalleled success attending
his work in Akron the past week and
the miraculous cures effected Of
many prominent citizens, whose ma l.
aides were considered hopeless have
gained for this mere youth not only
an enviab1e reputation as the great
est of all magnetic healers, not only
the plaudits of the public and the
Endorsement of the press and pulpit,
but the personal knowledge, which
is more gratifying than all, that he
has been able to restore sight to the
blind, hearing to the deaf, strength
to the weak, causes paralytlcs to re-
cover the use of their limbs and
rheumatic pains to disappear.
The following letters of gratitude

To the afflicted:
From gratitude for my sudden
restoration, [ make this public ac-
acknowledgement, feeling it a duty to
humanity to give credit where merit
is found. During the Civil war, "a
years ago, contracted rheumatism,
which has baff1ed all kinds of treat
ment. / have suffered untold agony,
and at times been perfectly helpless.
1t was with difficulty I hobbled
around on my cane, but since this
young magnetist treated me /
have discarded my canes, the pains
have ceased, and [ feel like a new
man. He has certainly wrought a
miracle in my case.

Geo. E. Bachtel, of 1O3 LaSaIle ST.,
is another old resident of Akron who
can testify to the marvellous healing
power of Vital Magnetism, as con-
tanned in the body of the Boy
Phenomenon. Mr.. Bachtel has been
unable to do days work in over
year, being laid up with rheuma-
tism, but is now able to resume work
after only two visits to the healer.
His testimony, while short, is to the
point:
II have been a great sufferer from
for three years, but only
during the past year did it make
such a cripple of me that L had to
quit work. Since this young apostle
of healing treated me the pains have
and now [ have free use
of my limbs. GEO. E. BACHTEL."
