New York, Sept. 9.-(Special Cor
respondence) William Wallace Had
ley, the famous Professor OF PIANO.
pathy ana Physiatrics, has again dem
onst1ated his mysterious power over
disease. He shows that the drugs pre-
scribed by doctors, and the surgeons
lznNe, are often worse tnan useless,
and, by healing hundreds of hope
less inValids pronounced incurable by
physicians, he proves his claims that
there is no disease he may not cure.
In defiance OF the Supposed laws ana
rules Of modern medical practice and
the theories of physicians and Spe-
cialiStS, he has made the human heart
beat again in the body OF q woman
prepared for the grave, and perform
ed other seeing miracles Of restora-
ton TO life and health of men and
women given up to death. Indeed,
he succeeds in the face Of such APP
parent iInpossibiltieS that he appears
to possess a healing power unequa!cd
in either ancient or modern times, q
power above and beyond that given
to ordinary mortals. In comparison,
the successful operations OF the
worlds greatest specialists become
insignificant child's nlay. Apparently
the supposedly incurable diseases,
such as paralysis, consumption, heart
disease. cancer. deafness, etc, are
cured by him just as easily as the
more common disorders Of humanity.
Coin still further. he mas proved
that he can cure patients in their
own homes thousands of miles away
just as quickly and surely as though
they came to him in person. TO eX-
tend the blessings of this wonder
full power to mankind there remained
but one thing for him to do, ana
that he has done by abandoning his
private practice and offering his SER
vices free Of charge to all who stand
in need. He is quoted as saying that
he feels it his religious duty to help
the sick and afflicted independent
of any reward.
One of the cases that makes posi-
Bile the belief that Professor Ha l.
ley's power approaches supernatural
control over disease. even to the noint
Of death. is that of a Mr.. r. G. Bess,
of Eel Campo, Texas, who was rescued
from the crave after the doctors had
given him uD to die, could do nothing
to revive him and left him for dead.
Brought to this condition by the com
bined attack of kidney and liver dis
ease, dropsy and acute articular rheu-
matism, he suffered the tOrmentS of
The damned and was almost insane
with pain before the end came. Tn
doctors and their medicines failed ut
terly. Although he was as good as
dead when Prof. Hadleys attention
was drawn to the case, he was speed
lily restored to life ana health by this
panopath's marvellous power, though
even MIR. Bess himself cOnfesses that
he does not know exactly how this
miracle was performed Another case,
almost equally as remarkable. was
that of a Mrs. Hattie McCulley of
San Pedro, Cal, Who asserts that she
revived the vital spark in her body
when she was prepared for the grave
that at the end of a long stage of
illness from a complication of dis
eases her body felt cold and lifeless.
and doctors said that the end had
come. But she says that Professor
Hadley made her heart beat again, the
blood flow through her veins once
more and warmth retHrned to her
wasted body. Naturally she looks upon
