ROCHESTER. ". Y. Oct. 2.-The al
most miraculous cures Of hopeless inva-
lids made by Prof Thomas F. Adkin
Of this city have been Of such a
startling character that they have
aroused widespread wonder. admira-
zion and curiosity Time and again
he has taken cases pronounced hope
lessly incUrable by the medical pro-
fession and restored the patients to life
and health in q most phenomenal man
Her.
There is considera bic mystery attached
20 his method Of accomplishing these
Insrvels as il is known that he does not
use 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 il is a matter Of proof that
with the mysterious power this discov-
cry gives him he has made the blind see
and the lame walk. He has revived the
lickering spark Of fire 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 il.
Notwithstanding what might be con-
sidered a most favorable opportunity, he
does not extort money from those whom
he treats, saying: Carnegie chooses to
give Libraries. 1 prefer to give life and
health. ] am not a millionaire, but 1 am
we'll able 10 afford TO give my services
free 10 the sick and afflicted. My dis
covery is my own. TO do with as please,
and I could charge every patient thou
sand dollars if I wanted to- But l don't.
And i know Of no law TO compel me TO
take money for restoring a man to
health. I do not care what the disease
is. am just as ready TO cure consump-
tiOn, cancer. paralysis, Brights disease
or any one Of the sO-called incurable dis
eases a ] am 10 cure rheumatism, stom-
ach trouble, catarrh. blood disorders. or
any other i'll that flesh is heir to. 1 am
just as ready and willing TO give my ser
vices free 10 the poor man am to the
rich man. When il comes TO a question
Of life or death, sickness or health, the
amount Of money a man has makes no
difference with me. A prince or a pau
per, I treat them just the same To me,
as 10 the law, all persons are equal
see and admit Of no difference between
patients far as 1 am concerned. If 1
choose TO help all who are i'll without
pay, there is nothing TO prevent my do
ing 50. ] may as well tell you right here
that ] mean TO keep on curing any one
who asks me Of any disease they may
have just as long as / am willing and
able. What other men do, what they fail
10 do. or what they charge makes
no difference to me. I feel that it is my
duty 10 carry out my own plan in my
own way, however much it costs me.
can not bear TO think Of men and women
and little children continuing to suffer
and die when I have the power TO save
them and restore them to life and health
so easily and quickly, and there is no
disease I may no cure.
You think that a broad statement?
Well. maybe it is. but no broader than
the truth. / know the wonderful power
have because I have tested ii in thou
sands Of cases. You know consumption
is supposed TO be incurable. Well not
long ago I had young lady as a patient,
Miss II. L. Kelly Of Seal Cove, Me. The
doctors told her that she had consump-
tion and could not live, that her case was
incurable. And to them it was. The poor
girl was in despair, thinking her days
were numbered. But I cured her in spite
