ROCHESTER-Prof Thomas r. Ad-
| truly created sensation among the med
zeal fraternity. By some mysterious
law of nature he has done practically ev-
erything but bring the dead to life, and
| doctors and scientists who have witness
ed his work are looking for him to d.
this next. In fact, they have been so ia
ken back that they would not now be
surprised at anything. They admit that
all their remedies and treatment are but
| toys and tinsel as compared with the
wonderful discovery of this remarkable
man. People say he possesses divine
power. Many of those who have been
| cured by his mysterious power look on
him as a god. But Prof. Adkin says:
mo, I have no divine power There is
nothing supernatural about me. l have
simply discovered a secret law of nature
which has been overlooked by doctors
and scientists foRv centuries past. l be-
lieve that any mans life can be saved so
long as he is not actually dead, and the
vital organs of the body have not been
DESTROYED, and l further believe that
when l perfect my discovery a little more
| shall be able to restore life to any one
from dying, drowning or other causes
which do not destroy the vital organs
provided decomposition has not set in.

was handed several letters from patients,
among them that of Mrs. Phillips. The
following extracts are taken word for
word from some of the letters. Mrs.
Phillips writes: when first / began your
treatment l had no faith in it at all, had
tried so many different kinds of medi-
cines with no benefit I had been under
the treatment of twelve different hospitals
with no relief. and then I employed two
home doctors, but they soon got so they
did me no good, and told me they could
do nothing for me, and that if 1 could
find anything that could do me any good
for me to get it, for they had done every
thing they could. l suffered from every
