This is an age that Graves facts and
facts only-and if they are facts and
statements that can be proven by
someone we know and whose veracity
is beyond question, then they obtain
the attention of the afflicted who are
in search of health.
Especially is this true as regards
medical and scientific facts. which
admit of no question of verify. OF
this class none presents more con-
elusive evidence of claim to world
wide acceptance than the principles
of vital magnetism. The magnificent
demonstrations by the Boy Phenome
non of these principles at the theatre
three weeks ago have aroused intense
interest among our most intelligent
and educated citizens.
That this interest is becoming wide
spread is shown by the great number
of patients that throng his private
parlOrs at the Harper house. which
is the theatre of transformations and
restora tions of health and changed
conditions that vie in gravity and
true Dathos with the finest dramatic
effects of stage history. The success
full treatment of Patients at his pri-
Vate Office is even more marked than
at the opera house, for here there are
no obstacles to contend with beyond
their respective Affections. so that the
cures are as rapid as permanent.
while no case fails to receive the
greatest possible benefit at his hands.
The following statement from Mrs.
Catherine Blythe. of 1923 Fourth ave
nue.. whose case is especially interest
ing because of the startling rapidity
of her cure. due to the unusual sus-
ceptibility of her system in receiving
magnetism. She says:
ITO the Afflicted: In justice to this
system of magnetic healing, and out
of gratitude to the Boy Phenomenon
for the recovery of my hearing,
make this statement: Some years
ago l began losing my hearing
through catarrh, and have ever since
been so deaf that l could hardly hear
a sound. and also suffered with those
terrible head noises. | tried num-
Der Of different treatments. but could
get no relief whatever and was told
that my case was incurable. During
these years | attended church, but
| was never able to hear a word of
the sermon. Three weeks ago / was
persuaded to try the treatment of the
Boy Phenomenon, which | did to my
great JOY. as can now hear the
clock strike and the voices of my
friends in ordinary conversation, and
the noises are all gone; and last Sun
day | attended the Baptist church,
and, thank God, / heard every word
of a good sermon for the first time
in years, and that from the rear seat.
/ have been asked many times to tell
how it was accomplished. but ! can
not: / wish l could. All | know is
that for years | was deaf, the Boy
Phenomenon treated me with his
hands and now / hear.
''Respectfully.
CATHERINE BLYTHE
The Boy Phenomenon not only
treats such cases as the above, but
nearly all chronic diseases yield to
animal magnetism at the hands of
this phenomenal magnetist.
The Boy Phenomenon has again
prolonged his stay here. therefore
those who wish to take advantage of
his presence here should lose no time
calling, as no new patients Will be
taken after this week. Office hours
az the Harper house from 10 a. m. to
s p. m, except the Sabbath.
