HONORS TO THE SON
OF THE "NENLO WIZARD
Ability of the Vitalizer to Cure Rheu-
matism, Catarrh, and Other Dis
eases Is Praised.

NEW YORK. Nov. 27.-Some remark
able and interesting statements con-
corning the cure of intractable diseases
were made by speakers at a compli-
mentary banquet given here last night
to Mr.. Thomas A. Edison, jr-, to COM
memorate the anniversary upon which
the Magno-Electric Vitalizer was pre-
scented to the world. The banquet was
rendered to the young inventor by the
medical societies of New York
Mr. Thomas - Edison, jr. in re-
spending to a toast said: "A year ago
alone was the chief believer in the
powers OF the MtLgnO- Electric Vitalizer
Today L have as fellow-believers more
than a0Qo0 people. who have proved in
their own persons that the Vitalizer
cures such complaints as LocomotOr
Ataxia, Rheumatism, Consumption, Par
alysIs, and nervous diseases. Careful
records have been kept OF the cases
treated by means OF the Vitalizer. and
an exact tabulation made for me a few
days ago shows that the instrument has
been able to cure or give relief IN more
than IS per cent of all cases. / do not
believe that any other remedial force on
earth can show such a record. Patients
In the last stages of some of these dis
eases have written to me at my Office,
at No. il Stone Street. New York. ask
ing my advice, and 1 have yet TO see a
case that I could not help by means Of
the Vitalizer. My personal mail has be-
come so heavy that have been obliged
to publish a new edition of my book, 50
that I can send it free TO those who ask
questions about the improvements re-
Gently made in the Vitalizer'
DR.. Kelly said. among other things: 7
never expected to admit 5hat the admin
istration OF drugs and medicines for the
cure OF disease was gigantic mistake,
but have been entheiy converted by
what 1 have seen OF the work OF the
VftaIizer 1 am now convinced that
the stomach is not the proper vehicle
for remedies. 1t is the nerves which
govern the body. and remedies should
be applied to them instead of to the
stomach The Vitaiizer is the only agent
which acts directly upor the nerves
Several other speakers followed in the
same vein, their remarks arousing great
enthusiasm among the guests.

ton of the whole country and did not
need to make an exhibit which would
be chiefly for the benefit OF the Worlds
Fair
The preponderanee Of opinion as TO
the amount that should be asked, II
the matter should be presented to Con-
gress, was that 1t should be between
$4,000 and So 600 although most OF those
present said they would net favor any
appropriation unless it was made. like
all the current appropriations for the
District of Columbia. on the half and
half basis.

As published in The Times on Wednes-

tons of TIE award were not fair to all
competitors. In the first place. II is
pointed out that the committee on

member. Secretary Rodrick, Of the
Board OF Education. knows nothing Of
pianos. theoretically or practically. and
that another member. although a teach
er OF singing. processes no particular
knowledge OF the merits Of pianos.
Further il is charged. this commit
tee did not pretend TO examine the
various makes of instruments offered
by the four bidders The manager OF
one house said the committee entered
his store, two members played scales on
Two different pianos at the same time
and refused to listen TO any explanation
of the peculiar merits of the instru-
ments. When asked to look at the
mechanism. etc. the spokesman for the
committee declined. according to this
managers statement,
