and pains that flesh is heir to by
simply "laying on OF hands" and

the full course upon payment Of

by mail, he mastered the science SO
completely that he was able to heal
himself entirely Of all aches and
pains. He says he was so stiffened
up with rheumatism that he could
scarcely pick up anything from the
floor or the ground, and could only
do 1T very slowly and painfully.

fellow in his section. To prove il

pranced around the office like q
full blooded Hamillonian colt at n
country fair with red snrcincl e

ribbon tied on his tail. In fact. he
kicked out first one leg and then
the other so hard that we feared he
would kick his legs off at the knee
