A Hypnotic HearIsr Among Us.

= "Jp"o''c near'ef among Us.
Mr.. EDIToR:-It seems that Mrs.
Ward is receiving considerable
amount of gratuitous advertising. If
Mre. Ward understands magnetic
healing as a science she will be sur
prised at some of the statements
made by the writer of the article
copied ip the Times. She is called
a "clsirvoyant hyppotist and mag
netic hes'e-," which is simply redic-
ulous if no intends clairvoyant to be
an adjective and describe Hypnotiss.
If a com, had been placed after
clairvoyaot. and hypnotist spelled
with ty) (Which probably the
writer intendedj then clairvoyant
would be a noun. Clairvoyance,
like catalepsy, is used to denote a
deep degree or state of Hynosis.
Then, again, the writer would have
his readers believe that Mrs. Ward
cure, diseases by some hocus-pocus
or magical wand. Now if she is
acting the role of a magician in her
work of healing she is simply an i'm
postor. She is bound to cure The
sick, not by any special gift to her
individually, but by strict compliance
to certain psyshic laws which are as
unerring and lasting as those of gravi-
tation.
Now, Mr.. Editor, you have gone
all the way to Georgia to give pub
licity to Mrs. Wards work when
your humble scribe has been practic-
ing magnetic healing for 1S months
here in Union county, and yet you
seem not to be aware of the fact.
Truly, ga man is not without honor
save in his own country and in his
house." There is no money for me
in the work am doing.
It is a labor of love for suffering
humanity. I have for many years
been convinced that there was a more
national and logical system of treat
ing disease than by dosing the
stomach with poisonous drugs.
Some two years ago received cir
culars from professors and scientists
offering to instruct students in mag
netic healing, hypnotism, etc. De-
terminsd to investigate for myself I
took two courses under II. Lauotte
Sage, A. M. Phi D. L. L. D., presi-
dent of tho New York Institute of
science. I took courses tr ON four
other institutions. Ihave the drgree
Of Prof. or D. D. H. from two of
these institutions. I have given q
plain statement of facts regarding
my work during the past two years.
BY dint of hard study and close ap-
picatien my most sanguine expecta-
tions have been realized. would
not part with the knowledge I possess
and the pleasure it affords ME for .
thousand times what it cost me in
money and labor. I do not boast of
what I have dome. God forbid! 1
have LEANED lessons of humanity I
never knew before. I realize how
little l know of the great mysteries
Of godliness and the invisible forces
put in motion by an All Wise Creator
to control the vast universe. I think
feel somewhat like Sir Isaac Newton
did when he said: 81 have solved
little near the shore but the vast
ocean of mystery lies out beyond"
l believe the mystery of healing the
sick by natural forces and in accord
ance with the natural laws has been
solved. The question is who will
take hold of this work and push it to
success. Your humble servant is too
old for such lucrative task. 1t is
coming. There are . few faithful
workers here and there. They are
having hard time of il: Mountains
of prejudice and ignorance to be over
come.
''Truth would you teach to save a
sinking land,
None aid you, all shun you, and few
understand.
