The Mahatma, the scientific Palmist
and Clairyoyant, is now located in North
Yakima. This is the first opportunity
the people of this city have had to visit
a highly-developed psychic and gifted
palmist. The Mahatma has read for
the crowned heads of Europe, and mis-
lectures at Manchester and London were
crowded, being attended by the most
eminent scholars of England. At the
close of one of his lectures Prof. Max
Muller was voted for reading. The
Mahatma has read many of the most
noted people in America. A year ago
he read the hand of President Roosevelt
at Colorado Springs. You should avail
yourself for reading from this gifted
man. His parlors are always crowded,
and you are obliged TO wait your turn.
Reads the past, present and future.
Removes evil influences.
Gives advice on business.
Every hidden mystery revealed.
EVERYTHING told All questions an
swered.
To the sick especially his assistance is
priceless.
He tells your disease by his wonderful
psychic, God.given gift. If physicians
have failed to cure you, consult him. 1t
will not cost you one cent to talk with
him.
If marriage, sickness, death, changes,
travel, divorce, separation, lawsuits,
business transactions, wills, deeds, mort
cages, lost or absent friends interest
you, if you desire to be more successful,
if you desire to have your domestic
troubles removed, your lost love re-
turned, your bitterest enemies converted
into staunch friends-in word, what
ever may be your troubles, suspicious or
desires, call or write to this gifted man
and he will send you away happier.
