PROF. THOS. r. ADKIN.

and Surgeons.
In all parts OF the country men and
women doctors and surgeons, clergymen
and educators are wondering at the re-
markable cures made by Prof. Thomas F.
Adkin. discoverer OF the Adkin Vitaopathic
treatment.
Professor Adkin heals not by drugs. nor
by Christian Science, nor by Osteopathy,
nor by Hypnotism, nor by Divine Healing.
but by a subtle psychic force of nature IN
Icombination with certain vital magnetic
remedies which contain the very elements
of life and health.
A reporter recently talked with Professor
lAdkin and was asked to invite all readers
of this paper who are sick or who are
worried by the ills OF those dear to them to
write to him for assistance. Some people
have declared" said Professor Adkin, that
my powers are OF God; they call me a
Divine Healer-a man of mysterious pow
lers. This Is not so. / cure because l I'M
Iderstand nature-because / uSe a subtle
force Of nature to build up the system and
restore health. But at the same time / be
lieve that the Creator would not have
given me the opportunity to make the dis
lcoveries / have made nor the ability to de-
velop them II He had not intended that /
should use them for the good of humanity.
] therefore feel that 1t is my duty to give
the benefit OF the science ! practice to all
who are suffering. l want you to tell your
readers that they can write to me in the
strictest confidence IL they are troubled
with any kind of disease and l will thor
,oughly diagnose their cases absolutely free
of charge and explain by a simple guaran-
teed home treatment how a complete cure
should be effected. / care not how serious
their cases, nor how hopeless they may
eeemI ] want them to write me and let me
make them well. / feel that this is my
life's work.
so great is the sensation wrought in the
medical world by the wonderful cures per-
formed by Professor Adkin that several pro-
tfessional gentlemen were asked to investi-
gate the cures. Among the gentlemen were
Doctor L. B. Hawley and DR.. l.. @. Doane,
both famous physicians and surgeons. After
q thorough and p~ainstaking investigation
these eminent physicians were so astounded
at the far-reaching powers Of Professor Ad-
kin and the wonderful efficacy Of Vitaopathy
that they volunteered to forsake all Other
ties in life and all other kinds OF treatment
and devote themselves to assisting Pro-
1essor Adkin in his great work for hu-

Engineers for both big concerns have
decided to build two large power plants,
one in New York and the other in Jersey
city, the exact location of which has
not been determined. The Jersey City
plant will mean a great saving on ac-
