There are times when it is extreme
~ difficult to tell where science leaves
off and miracles begin. a hundred
Years ago what to us today are mere
necessities of life would have been
considered in the light of miracles.
Every day events are transpiring
which, in the olden times, would have
been hailed as coming from a higher
source, but which today are easily
accounted for on strictly scientific
principles.
People who for years have suffered
the torments of bodily pain, who have
been denied by disease the use OF
their limbs, passed sleepless nights,
been visited by tortures that have left
their undeniable tracings on face and
body, the deaf, palsied, blind, lame,
paralytic, rheumatic, dyspeptic and
nervous, all these sufferers have been
made to feel relief, have been virtually
born anew by what in the early days
of history was called ''the laying on of
hands by one whois naturally gifted
with larger amount of that vital ele-
ment than is usually given mankind,
These amazing evidences of the heal
three weeks ago. have sinee~been con
tinued at his private office at the Har-
per house by the youthful healer
whose mission of relieving the sick
has left behind, wherever he has ap-
peared, an army of happy people,
who, in their relief from bodily ills,
have sent up a chorus of God bless
you" that can be heard from state to
state.
There is no secret about our work.
said the consulting physician. ''We
simply use the theory that vital mag
netism is lacking in the sick.
Health and life in the human body
Is nothing more or less than the fact
that a proper amount of this vital
magnetism is in the system. Disease,
on the other hand, is an absence of it.
We claim, and are able to prove by
our cures, as we have the past few
weeks, that the Boy Phenomenon is
gifted with an excessive amount of
it. and that he is enabled to transfer
it to those who lack that vital princi-
pie of life, and thereby relieve them.
and in almost every case that we ac-
cept for treatment. cure them; or at
least give them so much relief and
benefit, by increasing their vitality
and restoring their circulation, that
nature is then able to reassert itself
and carry on the work of rcjuvena-
tion and final restoration, which is
absolutely permanent and lasting"
The private office of the Boy Phe-
nomenon is at the Harper house.
where those wishing to he cured
should lose no time in calling, as no
new cases will be taken after Satur-
day of this week Office hours from
10 a. IN. to p. m. daily, except the
Sabbath.

Vital Ouestion-Fraught with Interest to
Rock Island People.
When citizen right here at home
makes a public statement like the
following, all room for, doalbt disap-
pears, and the most skeptical must
be convinced. It's pretty hard for
our readers to prove statement
made by a stranger living in some
far.away point of the union, but the
endorsement of neighbors, friends
and citizens is the best of proof; no
better evidence can be had.
Mrs. j. Anderson, of 1905 Thirty
eighth street, says: 81 had steady
aching pains through my kidneys
and in my hips, especially after a
hard days work, when my back hurt
me so severely that it made me ner-
vous and restless nights. There was
too frequent action of the kidney Sc
cretions as rule, very annoying
and distressing. Doan's Kidney Pills
were recommended to me, and 1 OBJ
tanned a box at Marshall q Fishers
drug store. In few days / began
to improve, and / continued the
treatment until 1 was completely
cured"
