TO THE PEOPLE OF ROSWELL
Or. Newman Has a Few Words to
Say TO Our People.

Say to Our People.
Having been sent for by the Fort
Worth Sanitarium. l take this liber-
ty of expressing my regret to leave
and thereby lose the opportunity OF
curing your ills. During my sojourn
here I have cured a large number
Of people, but was harassed on ev-
cry side by men of the medical pro-
fession. I bore up and worked on,
knowing that I was needed. and full
ly intended to remain here and con-
tinue the good work until called to
Fort Worth. l am the first magnetic
healer that has ever been tempered
with, and the question is why? and
il is answered thus:
Here in Roswell where the profess
sion of medicine is crowded to ov-
erfowing my presence meant the
loss of some of their patients and
a few dollars. Now / wish to ask
what are people in the medical sci
ence for, money or fame? 1t looks
very much from their actions as if
they were in the business for the
main object of making money A doc
tor who is true to his science is ever
longing to better it. to do all in his
power to stamp out disease and to
uphold all men who work for the
same object. If I cure a disease that
he cannot. he is bound to respect me
and do all in his power to discover
my method in that case. and l on
the other hand am bound to help
him by an explanation of my meth
Cd. In other words. we should CO.
operate. But I kindly ask, is this
done?
What is done? l am sought out
as a bane to humanity, tried and
fined-and under what cloak am
fined? For practicing medicine
without a license. But if we were to
see the cause in its true light we
would behold nothing else but pref
udice on the part of my oppressors
Now, concerning practicing with
out a license. l wish to ask why the

swer is in order that the people may
be protected. That is of course al
well and good. If I used drugs |
would, and the people would also
deem it necessary that have a Ii
cense to show that l knew how to
use them without harm to anybody
But when 1 don't use drugs and firm.
ly them. how is anybody
going to be harmed? If don't cure
no harm can come from a treatment
consisting maily- in rubbing. There's
no law set down for people practic-
ing magnetic healing. The only PEG
pie who have the aw set down are
medical doctors and Osteopaths
Hence, if l went after a license it
could not be obtained. because there
is no law for us. and l say where
there is no law there is no trans
erosion.
Multitudes of people all over the
land are losing faith in medicine
and many of our best physicians say
that it is a snare and a delusion,
not worthy of being called a science.
The sick are all rushing hither and
thither in a desperate attempt to get
well. The shrines, the springs, the
mountain resorts, the sanitariums
are crowded with invalids. and yet
the sick are seeking a place and the
ean OF. recovery and fail to find
it, except the few that come to be
treated by us magnetic healers and
other drugless methods.
l am sorry that so few know the
power of our treatment. We make
you well and then show you how TO
keep well. The time is not far off
when a man will be laughed at for
having even a common cold. / now
think I have said quite enough to
convince you of the power of mag
netic healing and the utter useless
ness of drugs. One directly opposes
the other and its opposition will last
until the people learn to understand
both sides. And when the great de-
cision is made drugs will become a
thing of the past, and diease will
slowly follow it.
shall in future be in Fort Worth,
and if any of you feel our need. we
shall be pleased to hSve you come
and see rs.
Yours Very Truly,
]. M. NEWMAN.
