fession because | love it, because | feel that it
is my duty as a Christian to use this wonderful
power that has been given me for the benefit OF

evils OF disease. Thai is why l refuse payment,
why the poor man receives the same attention
and care his more fortunate neighbor.
Yes you may say that / talked Dr. A. W..
Shaw, of Grafton. w. Va, back to life replied
Prof. Adkin to a question put by the reporter.

ability to combat any or all diseases; that my
power was supreme over all bodily ills But that

instances Some OF the worst cases in the coun-

have been brought to me by their physicians

them so quickly that have been credited with
working miracles. Letters blotched with the
tears OF pain and sorrow have come to me, i'm
ploring the aid / am glad to bestow and in
a few days others have come from the same
sources fairly singing with joy and gratitude
over the wonderful restoration TO health my
treatment has accomplished.
Prof. Adkn disdains the of all ''isms'' or
dangerous drugs, Saying: ''While it is true that

nothing supernatural about my methods 1t Is

over twenty physicians, specialists IN their prac-
tice have abandoned their old-fashioned theories
and taken up the study OF Prof Adkins methods,
stavirg with him in order TO daily witness the
almost miraculous cures he performs FROM nm
rich and pooc alike receive the same treatment
and uniform courtesy which have won nm 50
many friends among the influential men OF the
country.
One of the most marvellous things about this
mans miraculous curative power is his proved
ability TO cure those thousands OF miles away as
easily and quickly as though he stood by their
bedside II would seem beyond doubt that

fluid and howt it takes hold and quickly rids the
