Rochester, N. Y, July 30.-The al
most moraculous cures of hopeless in
valtds made by Prof. Thomas +. Adj
kin, of this city, have been of such
startling character that they have
aroused widespread wonder, admira-
ton and curiosity. Time and again
he has taken cases pronounced hope
lessly incurable by the medical pro-
fession and restored the patients to
life and health in most phenomenal
manner.
There Is considerable mystery at
tached to his method of accomplishing
these n1arVels, as it Is known that he
does not use the drastic drugs and
medicines that doctors depend upon.
He claims to have discovered that a
certain law of nature has peculiar
properties heretofore unsupported, and
that by application Of this law there
is no disease he may not cure. And
1t Is a matter of proof that with the
mysterious power this discovery gives
him he has made the blind see and
the lame walk. He has revived the
Pickering spark of life in bodies on
the very verge of the grave and restor-
ed to health men and women given
up to die by doctors and specialists.
He seems to have absolute control
| over human life and the diseases that
attack it, Notwithstanding what might
be considered a most favorable OPP
portunity, he does not extort money
from those whom he treats, saying:
Carnegie chooses to give libraries;
] prefer to give life and health. l am
not a millionaire but ! am well able
| to afford to give my services free to
the sick and afflicted. My discovery is
my own, to do with as l please, and !
could charge every patient thousand
dollars If / wanted to. But I don't.
And / know of no law to compel me
to take money for restoring a man to

Serious minded people. people who deal with problems that touch the hu- man heart, find food for reflection and consequently mental exercise or enJoyy ment in Ghosts" Ibsen's masterly treatment of hereditary attainment and the varied forms of lunacy 1t influences:
 The great Norwegian writer achieved his greatness by his ability to catch the secrets of the human soul. Having seized the secret he lays 1t naked be- fore the human eye with vigor and
 without @ thought of consequences. Popularity and conventionality are sym onvmous terms Ibsen Is popular through his unconventional methods.
 Ghosts Is not the greatest drama written by Ibsen, but 1t possesses strength and autained interest. Like most of his works 1t leaves much to the imagination. This sharpens the in- tellect. but is not altogether satisfying.
 The players who undertake to por- tray in fiesh and blood the clear-cut, tn- tensely human characters drawn by their master must be men and women of deep understanding; men and women who have drunk deep at the fountain of intellect and of human nature.
 These are the sort of players selected to present the drama under the direc- ton of the George Brennan Company. l yesterday and last night deprived so many persons of the pleasure of seeing the excellent production at matinee and at night at the Montgomery Theatre. The matinee audience. mainly com posed of women, was impressed deeply by the weird, uncanny story of the ghosts of Captain Alying"s misspent life, ghosts which lured his student son to sure destruction. The audience last night was not large, but 1t appreciated the artistic presentation of the drama
 The weird portrayal last year of os- wald. by Claus Bogel. was revelation to Montgomery. It was declared to be one of the most remarkable perform ances ever seen on a local stage. The prediction was then made that MT Ro- gel was too great an artist to be sub ordinated to other persons in his com pany and that the time would come when his Oswald would be the depend ent character of +Ghosts."

 Feminala is the prescription of an eminent specialist and authority on diseases peculiar to women; one that has been used by him with marked suc- private and sanitorium practice.
 For the prompt and sure cure of profuse. scanty. painful. delayed or irregular menstruation, 1t represents the most advanced thought in medical practice. For Inflammation or ulcera- tion of the womb, disorders of the change of life, and Arrangements and diseases of pregnancy, nothing known to medical science is more effective or of greater curative power.
 Feminala cures by specific action on the female organs. It acts directly upon the afflicted parts by strengthen ing the nerve centres and toning and building up the whole uterine and gen. erative system.
