Rochester, Nov. 13.-Prof. Thomas F.
Adkin, a wealthy resident of this city,
has truly created a sensation among
the medical fraternity. BY some mys-
FERROUS law of nature he has done
practically everything but bring the
dead to life, and doctors and scientists
who have witnessed his work are look
ing for him to do this next. In fact,
they have been so taken back that they
would not now be surprised at any
thing They admit that all their rem
edies and treatment are but toys and
tinsel as compared with the wonderful
discovery of this remarkable man. Peo-
pie say he possesses divine power.
Many of those who have been cured
by his mysterious power. look on him
as a god. But Prof. Adkin says: mo,
I have simply discovered a secret law
of Nature which has been overlooked
by doctors and scientists for centuries
past I believe that any mans life
can be saved SO long as he is not
actually dead and the vital organs of
the body have not been destroyed, and
I further believe that when 1 perfect
my discovery a little more, 1 shall be
able to restore life to any one from
dying, drowning or other causes which
do not destroy the vital organs, pro-
vided decomposition has not set in. 1
know these are strong statements. but
look at some of the people have cured.
They were all but dead. doctors said
there was no hope, yet in many cases
I rid them of actual disease in less
time than it takes to tell you about
it. There was Mrs. L. A. Phillips, of
Trawick. Tex. who was the next thing
to dead when I took hold of her case.
Here is her letter, read what she says.
I never saw her. but I cured her just
the same as if she had been in my
Office" The reporter was handed sew
eral letters from patients. among them
that of Mrs. Phillips. The following
extracts are taken word for word from
some of their letters Mrs Phillips
writes: when I first began your
treatment I had no faith in 1t at all,
had tried so many different kinds of
medicines with no benefit 1 had been
under the treatment of twelve different
hospitals with no relief, and then I en-
DlOved two home doctors, but they
soon got so they did me no good, and
told me they could do nothing for me,
and that if I could lind anything that
could do me any good for me to get 1t,
for they had done everything they
could I suffered from every disease
that flesh is heir to. 1 had been bed
fast for five years, unable to stand up
longer than ten minutes at a time. If
ever a woman suffered I did. l could
not lie on but one side. 1 had two large
bed sores that gave me great deal
of trouble and I suffered so much in
other ways. I had kidney trouble, ca
tarrh of the bladder and also gravel. I
used to suffer at times until I had
spasms I also suffered from falling
of the womb. ulcers and chronic indi-
gestion. and. of course, all of these
diseases left my nerves in a terrible
condition, when I finally wrote to you
You have done for me what no one
else ever did. But my friends all say
that have been raised from the dead.

I am feeling splendid. 1 say to every
one that if they would place their case
in your hands you will do the same
for them. All they need to do is to
give you a trial"
