Rochester, N. Y.-Restored to life by
a miracle, a woman who was on her
way to the grave, has been rescued by
that world-famous savant Of this city,
Prof. Thomas F. Adkin. The woman
was about to be launched upon her
long, last journey when the attention
of this scientific wonderworker was
called to her case. Responding in
stantly, and succeeding where doctors
and all others had failed, he revived
the spark of life in her body, put an
end to the agonies of dissolution, BAN
ished all thoughts Of death, and in a
manner and space of time truly mirac-
ulous restored the woman to health
and returned her well and strong TO
those who had hidden farewell to her
forever. So remarkable and unlocked
for was this happy ending that Prof.
Adkin is being accredited with posses
sing divine power.
When seen in reference to this Won
derful rescue, Prof. Adkin said: Eyes,
I restored the woman to life at the very
edge of the grave, and when l say that
1 make no charge for certain help to
those who are ill and suffering / mean
every word of it. This is only one case
out of thousands where / have been
the instrument of God in restoring
health and happiness to the sick and
dying. Daily l receive letters filled
with means and sobs of physical and
mental agony, imploring me for the aid
I am so glad to bestow. A few days
pass and others from the same people
come fairly singing with joyous graft
tude for the wonderful restoration to
health my power has accomplished.
Some of the worst cases in the country
have been brought to me, men and
women on their way to the grave, as
was this Mrs. w. S. Swayne. and I
have cured them so quickly that peo-
pie say 1 work miracles"
The sensation created among the
medical fraternity by his discovery and
miraculous cures has been so great that
over twenty physicians have taken up
the study of the methods of this Won
derful man. While they one and all
are compelled to admit the facts and
acknowledge the countless cures Prof.
Adkin is making, they are unable to
explain or account for the mysterious,
intangible force he eXerts. Some OF
them admitted that their remedies were
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, saying:
MY power is not divine or superhu-
man. 1t rs scientific to the highest de-
gree, based on a secret law of nature
that commands life and death absolute
ly. Though this secret has baffied the
doctors and wise men of all times, 1
finally discovered it after long study
and research. Drugs, medicines and
the surgeons knife often do more harm
than good. But by this immutable law
of life / can combat any disease, how
ever malignant: whatever its nature
chronic or intermittent: no matter
what the doctors may have said about
it,"
While in some cases he sends out a
peculiar magnetized food product in
concentrated form. which Immediately
revitalizss the whole human system,
Prof. Adkin disdains the use of Faith
Cure, Christian Science or similar cults.
What this extract or elixir is, how he
makes it or charges il with magnetic
force. he does not say. Doctors and
scientists are vainly puzzling their
brains trying to analyze IL and discover
the secret, but cannot.
Returning TO the case Of Mrs. Swayne,
in reply to a question Prof. Adkin said:

this and the other remarkable cures
have made, read this letter from the
won1an's husband. and these others.
