espondence.)-Dr. William Wallace
Hadley, the eminent scientist and pro-
fessor of panopathy and physiactrics
OF this city, has announced that he
has abandoned his large and lucrative
private practice. and will hereafter
give his services free of charge for the
treatment and cure Of chronic cases of
disease pronounced hopeless by ply
sicians. He is quoted as saying that
he feels is his religious duty to help the
sick and afflicted Independent Of any
reward.
This decision, amazing in this day
and age of money getting madness, is
all the more remarkable when one re-
members this mans great reputation
as scientific wizard, and his phe-
flot11enal success in healing when all
others fail. Times without number he
has taken men and women given up to
death by doctors, and restored them
to life and health in 50 short a time
!. and in such a marvellous manner that
7 he has aroused widespread wonder
and admiration among all classes Of
people who are aware of the facts.
So far no satisfactory explanation
has been given of DR.. Hadley's mys-
FERROUS control over disease Of all
kinds and his apparent ability to
overcome death, nor Of the means by
4 which he has made the almost miracu-
proclaiming him a healer Of healers.
He seems to have a power over human
life and the ills that attack it not given
to ordinary mortals. He cures in the
face of such apparent impossibilities
that no one could be blamed for think
/ Ing him possessed Of supernatural
gifts, although he disclain1s anything
more than knowledge of the secret
Of life, peculiar understanding Of the
causes Of disease and death, and a
complete grasp Of their prevention
ASand cure. In cases where physicians
\surgeons and specialists abandon hope
tand are at their wits end to know
i what to do he remains calm, confident
4 and n1asterful, freeing the patient Of
4 pain and disease almost as easily as
he would remove a stain from a piece
e Of cloth. -
Naturally a modest, unassuming
man, with a reputation for never
claiming more than he can do, he yet
makes the startling statement that
there is no disease he may not cure,
no case so bad but that he has abso-
lutte confidence in his ability to restore
health and strength. Evidence that
this Is no more than the literal truth
is given BY one Of his patients, a Mrs.
Hattie McCulley, of San Pedro, Cal,
who asserts that he revived the vital
ID spark iii her body when she was pre-
pared for the grave; that at the END Of
long siege of illness due to corr1pli-
cation Of diseases her body felt life
less. and doctors said that the end had
come, but that DR.. Hadley made her
heart beat again, and the blood flow
through her veins once more, and
warmth return to her wasted body.
She naturally looks upon her restora-
ton to life and health as passing I'M
derstanding, and calls DR.. Hadley "a
ri fIof ,.;x 80
the prophets" Another instance was
that Of Mrs. M. Worthington, of Egg
Harbor, N. j., a woman who had been
an invalid for twenty-five years, many
long months bedridden in hospitals,
and who had been2pronounced hopeless
ly incurable and given up to death by
doctors. She was SO completely pros
ness that she looked like a corpse and
felt like one when DR.. Hadley COM
naenced his wonderful method Of treat
men and rescued her from the grave.
One of the first indications Of return
ing life noticed as the mighty force
s controlled by this scientific sorcerer
permeated her system was the sudden
return of normal circulation of the
blood; then little by little strength
could be seen animating the wasted
frame; gradually color returned to the
pale cheeks and they filled out; the
limbs rounded and the whole body
seemed to undergo transformation,
until, before the eye Of the extremely
interested witnesses, the woman stood
forth in all the beauty and perfection
Of physical and mental health. Could
doctors and specialists be blamed for
looking at DR.. Hadley in amazement
and reverent awe? Is it any wonder
that he is credited with superhuman
power over disease, whatever it's name
and nature? Preliminary to another
case, that of Mr.. R. B. Hall of Snow
Vile. Va, the doctors, using drugs,
medicines and surgery. tried to cure
) this hopeless invalid suffering from
q disease long considered incurable
They failed one after the other. The
man was on the verge of death. A
piece of bone nearly an inch long had
ben cut from his skull above the eye.
His agonies were terrible, and the
doctors advised another operation as
the only chance of saving his life.
But DR.. Hadley took the case, said
saving or cutting into the mans head
was not necessary, put Mr.. Hall under
his treatment, and, remarkable as it
may seem in the face Of the former
failures, the man rose from his bed
and walked about, his life saved and
his health and strength restored most
/ marvelously. Yet these are only ram
dom instances selected from among
