Rochester, N. Y, Dec. 1O-(Special Cor !
respondence. )-Rescued from the grave
by a mans mysterious power, revived and
restored to health when the vital spark
had all but flickered out, a woman makes
the startling statement that she was
raised from the dead by Prof. Thomas F.
Adkin, the wonder worker of this city.
who bids fair to upset modern medical
practice by his weird control over death
and disease.
This sensational case, rivaling the mir
acles of ancient writ, makes possible the
belief that this man possesses some
auperhuman power to hold death at bay
and defeat the inroads Of all disease.
He has made the blind see, the lame
walk, and has healed hopeless invalids of
diseases pronounced incurable by special
lists, restoring life and health to men
and women given up to die by doctors.
Before the end came this woman, who
says she was raised from the grave,
resident Of Trawick Texas, had dragged
herself from hospital, from doctor to
doctor, only to be pronounced hopeless
ly incurable and to grow worse and
worse. At last, after being bedridden
for five years reduced to Skin and bones,
and in mortal agony. she saw the gates
of death open and the yawning jaws
of the grave stretch wide. The last good
Dyes, the long futtering sigh as the soul
took flight, the solemn procession of
show moving carriages, the hollow thud
of earth on coffin, and Mrs, Phillips
earthly trials would be at an end.
But here entered a new power; that Of
a man; tall, of commanding presence,
piercing blue gray eyes that looked upon
the world with conscious mastery, and
the air Of one to whom obstacles, fail
ures, irnpossibilities, were empty names.
A man with sorrow in his face. sorrow
and sympathy for the poor mOrtals strug-

den of disease; disease that to them
was an awful reality; that to him was
but name. And to Mrs. Phillips as to
others, this mans power brought life and
health, release from wasting disease and
death.
One of the first indications Of return
ing vitality noticed, as the mighty force
coming from this worker Of miracles per-
meated her system, was the return Of
normal heart beats and circulation Of
blood; then little by little strength could
be seen animating the wasted frame:
gradually the color came back to the
pale cheeks and the tense lines drawn
by disease and suffering disappeared;
the absent flesh returned and the con-
tours of the limbs rounded out; her
whole body seemed to undergo trans
formation, until. before the eyes of the
intensely interested watchers the bonds
of death and disease fell away as though
they were broken chains, and. instead
of being in her grave happy woman
was standing on her feet and thanking
Professor Adkin for her life Once more
he had triumphed over death and DEM
onstrated his almost miraculous power
to cure human Ills. Could doctors and
specialists be blamed for looking at
him in reverent awe? Or the hundreds
whom he has saved from the grave for
believing him possessed Of a power more
than human? Is it any wonder that Mrs
Phillips says: Il was raised from the
dead?"
Yet this is only one instance out OF
hundreds Of this mans mastery over
disease. Mrs. M. NJ Wilkinson of Alt.
ensburg, Mo, in telling of her mother's
similar experience, said: "Her body wa:
cold. She was practically dead, bu

upon for the help he so willingly give
to all in need and under his weird in
