ROCHESTER, N Y.-Restored to life
by a miracle, woman who was on her
way to the grave has been rescued by
that world-famous savant of this city,
Prof. Thomas F. Adkin The woman was
being prepared for her long, last journey
when the attention of this scientific won
er-worker was called to her case. Re-
spending instantly, and succeeding where
doctors and all others had failed, he re-
Vived the spark of life in her body, put
an end to the agonies Of dissolution, stop
ped all preparations for burial, and in a
manner and space of time truly miracu-
lous restored the woman to health and
returned her well and strong to those
who had hidden farewell to her forever.
So remarkable and unlocked for was this
happy ending that Prof. Adkin is being
accredited with possessing divine power.
When the husband with tears of joy and
gratitude in his eyes, offered his bene-
factor a check written in four figures,
Prof. Adllin refused to accept it, saying:
Il must decline this check, the same as
l refuse the poor mans offering. IL /
charged a thousand dollars a treatment
l could do no more than L now do for
nothing"
When seen in reference to this wonder
ful rescue, Prof Adkin said: Yes, l re-
stored the woman to life at the very
edge of the grave, and when 1 say that
1 MAKE no charge for certain help to
those who are i'll and suffering I mean
every word of it. This is only one case
cut of thousands where / have been the
instrument of God in restoring health and
to the sick and dying Daily
I receive letters filled with means and
sobs of physical and mental agony, i'm
ploring me for the aid I am so glad to
bestow few days pass and others from
the same people come fairly singing with
joyous gratitude for the wonderful res
toration to health my power has accom-
plished. Some of the worst cases in the
country have been brought to me- men
and women on their way to the grave,
as was this Mrs. w. S. Swayne, and
have cured them so quickly that people
say work miracles"
The sensation created among the medi-
cal fraternity by his discovery and mi
racuouS cures has been so great that re-
Gently a deputation of representative
physicians came here to study and in
VeStigate the secrets and methods of this
wonderful man. While they one and all

acknowledge the countless cures Prof.
plain or account for the mysterious, in
tangible force he exerts. Some Of them
admitted that their remedies were as
bread pills and water compared with his
treatment. While. as an upright Chris
tan man, Prof. Adkin gives thanks to
God for the knowledge He has sent, he
QlScldlInS the statements mat his power
is supernatural, saying:
My power is not divine or superhuman
1t is scientific to the highest degree, based
on a secret law of nature that commands
life and death absolutely. Though this Sc
cret has baffied the doctors and wise men
of all times, / finally discovered it after
long study and research. Drugs medicines
and the surgeons knife often do more
harm than good. But by this immutable
law of life can cure any disease, however
malignant; whatever its nature, chronic or
intermittent; no matter what the doctors
may have said about it."
While in some cases he sends out pc
culiar magnetized food product in concen-
trated form. which Immediately revitalizes
the whole human system. Prof. Adkins
disdains the use of Faith Cure Christian
Science or similar cults. What this ex-
tract or elixir is, how he makes 1t or
charges it with magnetic force, he does
not say. Doctors and scientists are vain

In reply to a question Prof. Adkin said :
THAT you may have no doubt about this
and the other remarkable cures / have
made, read this letter from the woman's
husband and these others, which you are
at liberty to publish if you think they
will help some poor sufferers" A copy
was taken, word for word, of the letters
shown by Prof. Adkin, and they are print
ed herewith in the belief that they will
be a message of hope to some who have
given up in despair. Mr.. Swayne, who is
