Rochester, N. Y.-ReStored to life by
a miracle, woman who was on her
way to the grave has been rescued by
that world-famous savant OF this city
Prof. Thomas f. Adlsin. The woman
was being prepared for her long. last
Journey when the attention of this
scientific wonder-worker was called to
her case. Responding INSTANTLY, and
succeeding where doctors and all 9TH
ers had failed, he revived the spark OF
life in her body, put an end to the
agonies of dissolution, stopped all
preparations for burial, and in a man

restored the woman to health and re-
turned her well and strong to those
who had hidden farewell to her for
ever. So remarkable and unlocked for
was this happy ending that Prof Adj
KIN is being accredited with possessing
divine power. When the husband,
with tears of joy and gratitude in his
eyes, offered his benefactor a check
written in four figures Prof. Adkin re-
fused to accept it, saying: II must de-
cline this check tile same as l refuse
the poor mans Offering. If I charged a

in the country have been brought to
me, men and women on their way to

Swayne, and have cured them so
quickly that people say l work mir

The sensation created among the
medical fraternity by his discovery
usssat tAsD ec9ntly deputation of
representative physicians came here to
study and investigate the secrets and
methods Of this wonderful man. While
they one and all were compelled to adj
init the facts and acknowledge the
countless cures Prof. Adkin is max
ing, they were unable to explain or ac-
count for the mysterious, Intangible
force he exerts. Some of them adj
mitted that their remedies We're as
bread pills and water compared with
his treatment. While, as an upright
Christian man, Prof. Adkin gives
thanks to God for the knowledge He
has sent, he disclaims the statements
that his power is supernatural, say
Ing: My power is not divine or sup
erhuman. 1t is scientific to the high
est degree, based ON secret law of
nature that commands life and death
absolutely. Though this secret has
baff1ed the doctors and wise men of
all times, finally discovered it after
long study and research. Drugs,
medicines and the surgeons knife Of
ten do more harm than good But by
this immutabe law of life l can cure
any disease, however malignant; what
ever its nature, chronic or ntermit-
tent; no mater what the doctors may
have said anlout it"
While in some cases he sends out a
peculiar magnetized food product in
concentrated form, which Immediately
Prof. Adkins disdains the use of Faith
Cure. Christian Science or similar
cults. What this extract of elixir is
how he makes it or charges it with
magnetic force. he does not say. Doc
tors and scientists are vainly puzzline
their brains trying to analyze it and
discover the secret, but cannot.
Re turning to the case of Mrs
Swayne. in reply to a question Prof
Adkin said: That you may have nc
doubt about this and the other re-
markable cures l have made, read this
letter from the wonan's husband, and
these others, which you are at liberty
