ROCHESTER,, N. Y.-ReStored to life
by miracle, woman who was on her
way to the grave has been rescued by that
wOrld-famous savant of this city, Prof
Thomas F. Adkin. The woman was being
prepared for her long, last journey when
the attention Of this scientific wonder
worker was called to her case. Respond
ing instantly, and succeeding where doc
tors and all others had failed, he revived
the spark Of life in her body, put an end
20 the agonieS Of dissolution, stopped all
preparations for burial, and in a manner
and space of time truly miraculous re-
stored the woman to health and returned
her we'll and strong to those who had bid
den farewell to her forever So remarkable
and unlocked for was this happy ending
that Prof. Adkin is being accredited with
possessing divine power When the hu5-
band, with tears of joy and gratitude m
his eyes, offered his benefactor a check
written in four figures, Prof. Adkin re-
fused to accept it., saying: Il must de-
cline this check, the same as / refuse the
poor mans offering. If I charged a thou
sand dollars q treatment l could do no
more than L now do for nothing"
When seen in reference to this wonder
1ul rescue, Prof Adkin said: Yes, 1 re-
stored the woman to life at the very edge
of the grave, and when l say that l make
no charge for certain help to those who
are i'll and suffering I mean every word
of it. This is only one case out Of thou
sands where 1 have been the instrument
Of God in restoring health and happiness
to the sick and dying. Daily l receive let
ters filled with means and sobs of physical
and mental agony imploring me for the
aid 1 am so glad to bestow. A few days
pass and others from the same people
come fairly singing with joyous gratitude
for the wonderful restoration to health
my power has accomplished. Some of the
worst cases in the country have been
brought to me, men and women on their
way to the grave, as was this Mrs. w. S.
Swayne, and 1 have cured them so quickly
that people say work miracles"
The sensation created among the medi-
cal fraternity by his discovery and mirac-
ulous cures has been so great that recent
ly deputation Of representative ply
sicans came here. to study and inYes tigate
the secrets and methods of this wonderful
man. While they one and all were com
PEELED to admit the facts and acknowledge
the countless cures Prof. Adkin is MAX
ing, they were unable to explain or &C
count for the mysterious, intangible force
he exerts. Some of them admitted that
their remedies were as bread pills and
water compared with his treatment.
While, as an upright Christian man, Prof.
Adkin gives thanks to God for his knOwl-
edge He has sent, he disclaims the state
ments that his power is supernatural, say
ing: MY power Is not divine super
human. It is scientific to the highest de-
gree based on a secret law Of nature that
commands life and death absolutely.
Though this secret has baffled the doc
tors and wise men of all times, I finally
discovered it after long study and re-
search Drugs, medicines and the sur
geon's knife often do more harm than
good. But by this immutable law Of life
l can cure any disease, however malig-
nant; whatever it's nature. chronic or in
termittent; no matter what the doctors
may have said about it..
While in some cases he sends out a
peculiar magnetized food product in con-
centrated form, which Immediately re-
vitalzes the whole human system, Prof
Adkin disdans the use of Faith Cure,
Christian Science or similar cults. What
this extract or elixir Is, how he makes it
or charges it with magnetic force, he does
not say. Doctors and scientists are Vainly
'puzzling their brains trying to analyZe 1t
and discover the secret, but cannot.
