man was the verdict pronounced by
doctors and friends Yet l saved him
from the grave, proved to him that l
was gifted with the ability to combat
any or all diseases; that my power was
supreme over all bodily ills. But that is
only one of hundreds, thousands OF SINH
lar instances. Some of the worst cases
in the country; men and women on their
way to the grave, have been brought 10
me by their physicians when all nope
was abandoned, and I have cured them
SO quickly that I have been credited
with working miracles. Letters blotch-
