Rochester, N. Y, July 1.-THE almost
miraculous cures Of hopeless inyalids
made by Prof. Thomas F. Adkin, Of this
city, have been of such a startling char
acter that they have aroused widespread
wonder, admiration and curiosity. Time
and again he has taken cases pronounced
hopelessly incurable by the medical pro-
fession and restored the patients to life
and health in most phenomenal manner.
There Is considerable mystery attached
to his method of accomplishing these
marvels, as 1t 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 unsus-
pected, and that by the application Of this
law there is no disease he may not cure.
And it 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 restored 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; I
prefer to give life and health I am not
a millionaire, but am we'll able to afford
to give my services free to the sick and
afflicted. My discovery is my own, to do
with as I , please and could uId &C charge a

no law to compel me to take money for

ysis, Bright's disease or any one

or any other i'll that flesh is heir to. I
am just as ready and willing to give my
services free to poor man as l am to
rich man. When it comes to a question
of life or death, sickness or health, the
amount Of money man has makes no
difference to me.
"A prince or pauper, treat them just
the same. To me- as to the law, all per-

am concerned. If I choose to help all who

prevent my doing so. And may as well

what they fail to do or what they charge
makes no difference to me. I feel that
it is my duty to carry out my own plans
in my own way, however much it costs
me- I cannot bear to think of men and
women and little children continuing to
suffer and die when have the power to
save them and restore them to life and
health so easily and quickly. And there is
no disease may not cure.
