city, has announced that he has aoah-
doned his largo and lucrative pr'V'a as3

and euro Of chronic cases of disease pro-
nounccd hopeless by physicians. lie IS
onoted as saying that he feels IT MS re-
lirious duty to help the sick and affllct-
ed independent OF any reward
This decision, amazing III this day ana

moro remarkable when one remembers
this mans great reputation as sc'eh'

manner that .he has aroused widespread cad
wonder and admiration among all classes

So far no satisfactory explanation has

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 dis
ease he may not cure. no case SO PAD
but that he has absolute confidence In
his ability 10 restore health and strength
Evidence that this is no more than the
literal truth is given by one Of his pa
tents, a Mrs. Hattie McCurley, of san
Pedro. Cal, who asserts that he re-
vived the vital spark In her body, when
She was prepared for the grave, that at
the end of long siege OF illness due.
to complication of diseases her body
felt l!feless, and doctors said that the
end had come. but that DR.. Iladley made
her heart beat again, and the blood HOW
through her veins once more and warmth
return to her wasted body. She natural-
ly looks upon her restoration to life and
health as passing understanding. and
calls Or. Hadley "a worker of miracles
that rival those OF tho prophcts." An
other instance was that Of Mrs. M.
Worthington, Of Egg Harbor, n. j., a
woman who lad been an Invalid for
twenty-five years, many long months bed
ridden In hospitals, and who had been
pronounced hopclessly incurable, anu
given up to death by doctors. She was so
completely prostrated from disease, pain
and weakness hat she looked like q
corpse ana felt hike one when DR.. Had
ley commenced his wonderful method Of
treatment and rescued her from the grave
One of the first indications Of return
Ing life noticed as the mighty force con-
trolled by this scientific Borcercr per-
meated her system was tho sudden re-
turn of normal circulation OF the blood

seen anmating tho wasted frame; grad

and they filled out; tho limbs rounded
and tho whole body seemed 10 undergo
a transformation, until before I he eyes
OF the extremely Interested Witnesses tho
woman stood forth in all the beauty and
perfection Of physical and mental health.
Could doctors and specialists be blamed
for looking ut DR. Hadley In ama2ement
and reverent awe? Is II any wonder
that he is credited with superhuma,l
power over disease, whatever it's name
aud nature" Preliminary to another case,
that OF Mr.. B. G. Hail. of Snowville Va.

surgery tried to cure this hopeless In
