Chicago, March 9-(Special.) )-Excitement oceasioned by the wonderful cures wrought iby S. A Jefferson, the Christian Science Healer, continues to grow, and great crowds throng the breating rooms daily.
 Jefferson's myst terious power over disease in all of its fonms is being demonstrated not only in this city, but throughout the world, for this healer is treating those at a distance just successfully as the peo- pie who call dn.person. Public Interest has been aroused by a series of splendid cura- tive triumphs which surpass the achieve ments of the physicians and surgeons and compel them reluctantly to admit that s. A. Jefferson has altained the goal which they all have sought in vain-the absolute mastery of mans arch enemy, Disease.

FLOODED MYTH LETTERS

The flood of letters and telegrams from the sick and suffering in all parts of the country grows dn volume from day to day, and the plaint of the sufferers seeking thls healer's aid is mingled with the praise and rejoicing of those who nave found release from bodily and mental ills.
 LA singular feature of Jefferson's work and one which pleases tlms healer far in advance of amy other exponent of Christian Science Healing, is the fact that those who secure physical regeneration through the ministrations of this healer need not exer- else faith or put forth any conscious effort dn order Ito be healed.
