| Rochester, November 13.-Professor Thomas F. Adkins, a wealthy resident of this city, has truly created a sensation among the medical fraternity By some mysterious law of nature he has done practically everything but bring the dead to life, and doctors and scientists who have witnessed his work are looking for him to do this next. In fact, they have been so taken back that they would not be surprised at anything They admit that all their remedies and treatment are but toys and tinsels as compared with the wonderful discovery of this remarkable man. People say he possesses divine pow er Many of those who have been cured by his mysterious power. look on him as a god. But Professor Adkins says: NO; l have simply discovered a secret law of nature which has been overlooked by doctors and scientists for centuries past. l 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 l further believe that when I perfect my discovery a little more l shall be able to restore life to any one from dying, drowning or other causes which do not destroy the vital organs provided decomposition has not set in. I know these are strong statements, but look at some of the people I 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 1 took hold of her case. Here is her letter, read what she says. I never saw her, but cured her just the same as if sne had heen in my office" The reporter was handed several lnffprc from tinntS among them that of Mrs Phillips. The fol- lowing extracts are taken, word for word from some of their letters, Mrs. Phillips writes: 'When first began your treatment l had no faith in 1t at all. had tried so many different kinds of medicine with no benefit. I had been under the treatment of twelve different hospitals with no re- lief, and then I employed two 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 find anything that could do me any good for me to get it, for they had done everything they could. I suffered from every disease that flesh is heir to. I had been bedfast for five years, unable to stand up longer than ten minutes at a time. If ever a woman suffered, l did I could not lie on but one side. I had two large bed sores that gave me a great deal of trouble and I suffered so much in other ways. I had kidney trouble eatarrh of the bladder. and also gravel. I used to suffer at times until had spasms. I also suffered from falling of the female organs ulcers and chronic indigestion. and, of course, all of these diseases left my nerves in terrible condition. when I finally wrote to you. You have done for me what no one else ever did. But my friends all :ay that I have been raised from the dead. was nothing but skin and bones, now am feeling splendid. I 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"
 Miss Hattie l.. Kelly, Seal Grove Me, writes: Words can hardly express the gratitude I feel for what your treat- ment has done for me. When I began taking it I had given up hopes of ever being well. The doctors said I had con-
