New York, Aug. 11.-(Special Cor
respondence. DIR. William Wallace
Hadley, the eminent scientist and Pro-
fessor of Panopathy and Physactrics,
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
physicians. He is quoted as saying
that he feels it his religious dlty to
| help the sick and afflicted independ-
ent of any reward.
This decision, amazing i'm this day
and age of money-getting madness is
all the more remarkable when one
remembers this mans great reputation
as scientific wizard. and his phe-
nomenal 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 sol short
| time and in such a marvellous manner
| that he has aroused widespread Wor--
der 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 myster
tious control over disease of all kind
and his apparent ability to overcome
death, nor of the means by which ne
he has made the almost miraculous
cures that stand to his credit, pro-
claiming him healer of healers. He
seems to have a power over human
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
| thinking him possessed of Super-nat-
ural gifts, although he disclaims any
| thing more than knowledge or the
secret of life a peculiar understand
| ing of the causes of disease and death,
and a complete grasp of their preVen-
ton and cure. In cases where physic-
| ians. surgeons and specialists abandon
hope and are at their wits end to
know what to do, he remains calm.
Iconfident and masterful, freeing the
patient of pain and disease almost as
! easily as he would remove stain from
! a piece of cloth.
Naturally a modest unassumlng
/ man, with a reputation for never
| claiming more than he can do, ne 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
| spark in her BODY when she was pre-
| pared for the grave, that at the end
| of a long siege of illness due to a
complication of diseases, her body felt
! lifeleSS and doctors said that the emu
! had come, but that DR.. Hadley made
| her heart beat again. and the blood
| flow through her veins once more, ana
l., ctn cd
She naturally looks upon her restora-
| ton to life and health as passing UNI
derstanding, and cells DR.. Hadley "a
| worker of miracle that rival those OF
| the prophets" Another instance was
| that of a Mrs. M. Worthington, OF Egg
| Harbor N. j., a woman who had been
an invalid for twenty-five years, many
| long months bed-ridden in hospitals,
and who had been pronounced hope
! essly incurable and given up to death
by doctors. She was so completely
| Frustrated from disease, pain and
weakness that she looked like corpse
and felt like one when DR.. HadleV
| commenced his wonderful method or
1 treatment and rescued her from the
| grave. One of the first indications OF
| returning life noticed as the mighty
force controlled by this scientific sor-
cerer permeated her system was the
I
| 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 eyes of the extremely
interested witnesses the woman stood
forth in all the bautv and prfectlon
of physical and mental health. Could
doctors and specialists be blamed Tor
| looking at Dr. Hadlev in amazement
and reverent awe? Is it any wonder
that he is credited with superhuman
power over disease whatever its name
and nature? Preliminary to another
case that of Mr.. b. G. Hall, of SNOW
vile, Va, ten doctors using drugs,
medicines and surgery tried to cure
| this hopeless invalid suffering from
| q disease long considered incuraDle.
They failed one after the other. Inc
/ man was on the verge of death. A
piece of bone nearly an inch long had
| been cut from his skull above the eye.
| His agonies were terrible, and the doc
tors advisd 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 former failures.
the man rose from his bed and walk
| cd about, his life saved and his
health and strength restored most
| marveIously Yet these are only ram
dom instances selected from among
hundreds where DR.. Hadleys almost
