 to Help Suffering
 Humanity.
 Rochester, N. r., October 2O.-(Special Correspondence )-Discarding the useless drugs and medicines dispensed by doctors and yet healing hopeless inyalids of dis eases pronounced incurable by physicians and specialists succeeding in restoring life and health when doctor after doctor failed, Professor Thomas r. Adkins of this city has proven the value of won derful discovery that threatens to upset modern medical practice. In the face of opposition, criticism, even rldicule, he has persisted in his belief that hope should not be lost until actual and un- mistakable dissolution of the body oc- CUTS. He claims, and offers evidence be- yond doubt that he has made the hu- man heart beat again in the body of a woman given up to death. He cites names and instances, where, by means of his discovery, he has made the blind see and the lame walk; where he has permanent ly cured paralysis, consumption, syphilis, rheumatisrn Brights disease. and other diseases heretofore supposed to be in- curable. More than that he states that he can cure the sick in their own homes hundreds of miles away without stirring from his office. In one instance, that of a Mrs. L. A. Philips of Trawick Tex. the witness says that he raised her from the dead Whether that is literally true or not, there is little doubt but that the woman would be in her crave today were it not for this mans strange power over human life and his marvellous control over disease and death Mrs Philips had been a hopeless invalid for many years, and for the last five had been belfast, could lie on one side only, and was cov cred with bed-sores. She was suffereng from a severe complication of diseases, including stomach, kidney and female troubles, and had leen under treatment of twelve different hosptais and various doctors. all of whom failed to help her and pronounced her case incurable. Her agony was so great that they threw her in to convulsve spasms, while her body was wasted to skin and bones. All the med ieines given her were without effect, and she was rapidly nearing her grave, when she heard of Prof Adlxin. Broken in body, pain-weary. and without faith, but hoping against hope in this last desper- ate chance, she wrote to him. He replied at once, saying that he would take her case, assuring her that he could and would save her life and restore her to health. And notwithstanding what the doctors had said he did cure her com pletely so that today she is Up and about well woman, joyous, thankful, and en- thusiastic Another case almost equally remarkable was that of MT. R. A. Wallen of Fnev Mo, who for four years was raralyzed and was steadily growing more helpless ins spite of all the doctors who attended him. Fis cure was so quick and marvellous that. in a letter he says: Tt was like bringing the dead to life" Prof. Adkin cured Mrs. M W. Nolen of Gov ington, Ga of a malignant cancer with out the knife or probe: he stopped the Great White Plague, consumption, in the case of Miss H. L. Kelley of Seal Cove. Me, and hundreds of other suffering men and women have likewise been resened by this wonderful man who seems to con trol some mysterious force not known to ordinary mortas.
 When called upon for interview, Prof Adkn said:
 "Yes 1 remember the cases you men tion but do not quite understand why they should cause any especial astonish- ment since they are no more wonderful than scores of other cures 1 haze made since l anonunced my discovery to the world. l firmly believe that there is no disease that I may not cure. and what ever other men may do or fail to do, l mean to keep on healing the sick and af- nicted of any disease they may have just as long as I am able. l make no excep- tions, rich or poor. east or west. wherever they live, 1t is all the same to me. All who are sick from any cause may be cured in their own homes simply by writing and telling me the name of their trouble or their principle symptoms age. and sex and I will give them of my services absolutely without charge. I feel that 1t Is my duty to God and man to give freely, to help all who are afflicted and not to use my discovery merely to make money
 Do you really mean that any one who is sick can write to you to be cured, without paying you any money?
 Exactly. 1 mean just that l know it may seem an unusual thing to do, but if I choose to help the earths physical unfortunates without pay, there's noth- ing to prevent my doing so. is there? have my own reason for my course in this matter and 1 do not want any one to feel that by taking advantage Of my offer they are accepting charity. l will have my reward in proving to the world the great value of my discovery, and the uselessness of wasting money on doctors and medicines when it is not necessary.
 What is this discovery?'
 '1 can show you better than I can ex- plain Have some one who is sick write to me and watch the results. If you do so I would prefer that you select a chronic case, some one whom physicians have said cannot be cured. Any doctor may cure a simple case with few doses of medicine, but l want those where both doctors and medicines have failed. Tell anyone who wants to be cured to write to me, addressing Professor Thom- as F. Adkin, office 5O0F, Rochester, N. r."
 But how can you cure those at a dis tance; those whom you never seer"
 Just easily and 1ustt as surely as though I went to them or they came to me. Distance makes no difference. Whether thcy live one or a thousand miles away is all the same. letter is all that is necessary to enlist my aid. What other men may may not be able to do, how they fail or what they charge makes no difference to me My power is supreme"
 Investigation proves that Professor Ad- kin's claims are more than borne out by the facts, and that he fulfills his promise of free service to the very let ter. **s
 His Doesn't Count.
