Rochester, N Y.-(special correspon- dence.)-A remarkable case that threatens to upset the theory and practice of medi- cine is reported from Wilmington, o. The human heart has been made to beat again in the body of woman given up to death by the doctors.
 The credit for this startling restoration is due to that distinguished savant of this city, Thomas r. Adkin, Professor of Vi- taopathy. and President of the Institute of Physicians and Surgeons.
 Previous experiments on animals. like those made by Loeb of Chicago, and Weaver of Philadelphia. succeeded in mak- ing the heart beat for only sh art time after death, and even this partial success probably was due merely to reflex muscu- lar action induced by saline injections.
 But in this case Professor Adkin accom- plished a far more wonderful result By an entirely different method and in an en- tirely different way, he not only made the heart beat again, but made 1t keep on beating, and today the woman, Mrs. M. E. Brackney, is alive and well instead or being in her grave.
 The history of medicine from the time of Galen to the present day, falls to giye' an explanation of th4s phenomenal restor- Rtion that seems to rival the miracles of ancient writ.
 The facts in the case are so unusual and revolutionary that an interview was sought with Professor Adkin to learn If possible, the details of this wonderful case. At first he seemed reluctant to talk for publication but finally was induced to tell of what is undoubtedly one of the most marvellous discoveries in the annals of science, discovery that gives this man strange and far-reachng control over human life. over disease and death
 ''Yes, l restored Mrs. Brackney to life and health, made her heart beat again." said the professor. But it is a mistake to think that this Is the first or only case of the kind where have been equally suc- cessful when drugs and doctors have fall ed. I have cured hundreds of men and women in the same way, of diseases pro- nounced incurable, rescued them when they were on the edge of the grave, and restored them to health and strength with out useless drugs or the surgeons knife"
 Would you mind giving the names of some of these people.
 Not at all. There Is nothing I want concealed or kept secret I court the wid- est publicity. I want the whole world 10 know what I am doing, so that others may be saved from an early death or lifelong misery. You are more than vel come to investigate any or ali of the cures I havs made of hopeless invalids given up to die by doctors You can read letters from my former patients, inter- view >or write to the men and women themselves, or you can go over my rec ords and files and see for yourself that I succeed where physicians and medi- cines have failed. One case that l remem- Der particularly IS that of Mrs. l.. A. Phil lips, of Trawick, Texas. She had been bedridden for five years. ip twelve dif- ferent hospitals and under the treatment of various doctors besides. All failed to cure her of the complication of diseases from which she was suffering. and told her they could do no more, that her case was hopeless.
 When I took her case 1t seemed as # she was beyond the aid of any human power. But. by using the knowledge giv- en me by my discovery, I cured her when she was so near death that in letter she wrote me she says l raised her from the dead.
 That is not literary true of course. have no supernatural power, whatever
