The benefits derived from governmental

taxation would materially lessen the eX-

Second-Stability Of national laws would

Nevada is a small town in Missouri, hay
ing a population of about 1900. II is sit
uated on the Missouri Pacific and Missouri,
Kansas and Texas Railroads, about 300
miles from st. Louis and about 100 miles
from Kansas City. Nevada, Mo, has been
made famous on account of the marvellous
cures which have been made by Prof. S. A.
Weltmer, the eminent Scientist who re-
sides at Nevada. The cures made seem al
most miraculous, and have been heralded
through the press of two continents.
There is hardly a day but that we hear of
Prof. S. A. Weltmer through his new
science, Weltmerism, curing some disease
or afflictiOn which physicians had termed
hopeless. Weltmerism has proven so eff
ticacious that doubt is not only dispelled
in the minds of the people and scientists,
but this wonderful healing power has now
been Endorsed by the press and pulpit.
Prof. S. a. Weltmer has been termed the
Magnetic Healer; this name was given him
because the cures which he makes seem
magical. Weltmerism cures at a distance
just as readily as it does those cases which
are brought to Nevada for treatment. 1t
can be readily understood that the people
would regard a science as magical that
dispels disease from a patient that lived a
Be this as it may, it is proven beyond a
doubt that Prof. S. a. Weltmer's new
science will reach and perfect Il cure on
patients, no matter at what distance they
may live. But we believe that the very
best name that has yet been given him
was given by a large daily newspaper in
the east, this paper calling him "a Mighty

This has been abundantly proven by the
