Life and health in the human sys-
TEN means that the body is supplied
with sufficient quantity of vital mag
netism. Sickness and disease show
that the quantity is exhausted, and an
entire absence of it means-death.
Vital magnetism, then, is the great
spark of life and health, that makes
rich, red blood, rosy cheeks and ro-
bust appearance, which medicines
cannot give. Its influence permeates
every nerve, rejuvenates the body,
awakens and vitalizes the nerves.
stimulates the heart, puts new
strength, new life, new ambition into
every function and feeling that makes
life worth battling for. That is vital
magnetism simple and direct
transference of the vital current from
one whom nature has blessed with an
excessive supply to one who is def
cient in that element of life
This power to heal the sick, to re-
store health, vigor and strength
both mental and physical-can not be
learned or acquired-it is a gift from
an all-wise Creator. That the Boy
Phenomenon is possessed of an over
abundance of this vital force has been
positively proven by the marvellous
restoration to health of the sick and
crippled, the rheumatic and paralyt-
ic; by the restoring of hearing to the
deaf and sight to the blind; by the
curing of those suffering with asth-
ma, catarrh. bronchitis. dyspepsia, in
digestion. nervous prostration and
nervous debility. diseases peculiar to
OIL f.hr n;
both at the Illinois theatre and at
his private parlors at the Harper
house.
Every day well-known citizens come
forward with testimonials, after be-
ing cured, to prove the efficiency and
permanency of his mighty healing
power which has been SO lavishly be-
slowed upon the prodigy of human
nature. The following letter speaks
for itself:

II years | have geen great and con-
slant sufferer with rheumatism, lum-
bago and kidney trouble. The pains
were so severe that | could neither

lasting benefit. Since receiving your
treatment three weeks ago 1 have
suffered no pain at all, and instead of
being only temporary. as my friends
said it would be. l feel better every
day. | am now cured. and wish you
would publish this letter. Gratefully
yours. (Signcd)
