There are times when it is extreme
ly difficult to tell where science leaves
on and miracles begin. 4 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 TRANSPORTING
which, in the olden times, would have
been hailed as coming from 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 who is naturally gifted
with larger amount of that vital ele-
ment than is usually given mankind.
These amazing evidences of the heal
ing art, which opened at the theatre
three weeks ago, have since 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 APP
peared, an army of happy people,
who, in their relief from bodily ills,
have sent up Il chorus of God bless
YOU that can be heard from state to
state
There is no secret about our work"
said the consulting physician. I'VE
simply use the theory that vital mag
ne tism is lacking in the sick.
Health and life in the human body
is nothing more or less than the fact
that n 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-
pile 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
DeneHJ, DN increasing Inelf vitality
and restoring their circulation, that
nature is then able to reassert itself
and carry on the work of reiuvena-
ton 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 be cured
shoHld lose no time in calling, as no
new cases will be taken after SatuT-
day of this week. Office hours from
10 a. IN. to S p. IN. daily, except the
Sabbath.
