Rochester.-Prof. Thomas F. Adkin,
a wealthy resident of this city has tru-
" created a sensation among the med
ical fraternity. BY some mysterious
law of nature he has done practlcally
everything but bring the dead to llre'
and doctors and scientists who nave
witnessed his work are looking for
him to do this next. In fact they nave
been so taken back that they would
not now be surprised at anything
They admit that all their remedies ana
treatment are but toys and tlnsel as
compared with the wonderful dis
covery of this remarkable man.
People say he possesses divine power.
Many of those who have been cured
by his mysterious power look on him
as a god. But Prof. Adkin says: mo,
] have no divine power, there's notn-
ing supernatural about me. have
simply discovered a secret law or ma
ture which has been overlooked by
doctors and scientists for centuries
past. 1 believe that any mans life can
be saved so long rs he is not actually
dead and the vital organs of the body
have not been destroyed, and further
believe that when 1 perfect my dis
covery a little more I shall be able to
restore life to anyone from dying,
drowning or other causes which do
not destroy the vital organs, provided
decomposition has not set in. L know
these are strong statements, but look
at some of the people l have cured.
They were all but dead, doctors said
there was no hope. yet in many cases
I rid them of actual disease in less
time than it takes to tell you about it.
There was Mrs. L. A. Phillips, of Ira
wick, Texas, who was the next thing
to dead when I took hold of her case.
Here is her letter; read what she says.
! never saw her but I cured her just
the same us if she had been in my
Office. The reporter was handed sew
eral letters from. patients, among
them that of Mrs. Phillips. The fol-
lowing extracts are taken (word for
word) from some of the letters. Mrs.
Phillips writes: "When l first began
YOUR treatment I had no faith in it at
ALL. had tried so many different kinds
of medicine with no benefit. l had
been under the treatment of twelve
different HOSPITALS with no relief, and
then I employed two home doctors,
but they soon got so they did me no
good and told me they could do moth
ing for me, and that If I could find
anything that could do me any good
or me to get It, for they had done ev-
rything they could. ! suffered from
very disease that HeSn is HelT- TO-
