New York, Dec. 14.-(Special cores
pOndence).-It has been discovered that
hundreds of hopeless invalids are being
restored to health by a peculiar but
simple method of home treatment
practically unknown to the medical
profession, a method that does away
with useless drugs and succeeds where
doctors and medicines have failed. In
Vestigation shows that scores of men
and women pronounced incurable by
physicians have been cured by this SyS-
tenn of home treatment that is so sim
pie to use and so wonderful in the
cures it brings about. From inquiries
made, it is evident that the credit for
discovering this method is due to none
other than the famous scientist and
pathologist of this city, Prof. Wallace
Hadley, and it is under his direction
that these cures have been and are be-
ing made. Every day adds to the large
and gratifying total, in which are num-
bered many who look upon Prof. Had
ley as a, veritable worker of miracles.
They had suffered SO long and SO terri
bly,, they had tried so many remedies
and physicians in vain, that they had
utterly lost hope of ever being free from
disease and pain. One of these was
Mrs. Annie Brown of Hot Springs, Ark,
extracts from whose final report TO
Prof. Hadley, we are authorized to pub
fish. Her own words put the facts in
clearer form than any technical descrip-
ton of her case. She says: 4 feel as if
1 had been dead and come to life again.
For seven years 1 was a helpless and
hopeless invalid paralyzed in both legs
and arms and almost blind All the
doctors 1 tried failed to cure me. Many
and many time 1 would lie awake all
night and cry like a baby, the pain was
so terrible and I was in such despair,
my heart was almost broken. If you
could see me when I commenced your
treatment, you would not know me now.
do not look like the same person. I
weigh 145 pounds now, and when be-
gan your treatment I weighed only lis.
Hnr IL TerI4 orr
ing me in this wonderful way? 1t seems
a miracle of healing and almost too
good to be true. But it is true, thank
God"
In talking with Prof. HadIey of this
and other cases he said: Il maintain
that there is no disease and no case
that may not be cured If my method of
treatment is followed. Calling a case in
durable does not make it so. I do not
care if one physician or ten has said
that a case cannot be cured, and that
the patient must continue to suffer or
die. I say that not only may life be
saved, but health and strength reStor-
ed, disease and pain banished. The
fault in many cases called or thought
to be 'incurable' is that the real cause
of the trouble is not understood, and
the right treatment is not given. Cases |
come to me from all over the country |
that have baff1ed some of the best phys |
icians and specialists, where one doctor |
said the trouble was one thing, and the |
still another diagnosed it as a disease |
different from either, until the patients
were at a loss to know what disease
they really were suffering from. Is it !
any wonder that invalids fail ito get
we'll when they not only are treated for |
the wrong disease, but also are given |
useless medicines on the hit or miss
plan?
'When I commenced medical prac-
tice, I, like all other physicians, used
the drugs and methods I had been
taught at college. One medicine was
supposed to be good for one disease, I
another for another, and so on through
a long list, forgetting that no two cases
of even the same disease are ever ex-
actly alike, and that each person has
individual physical characteristics that
play an important part if cure is to
be effected. I soon found that there
was a great difference between pre-
scribing and curing; that the drugs
many times did not do what they were l.
supposed to do; that some of them
were not only useless but often did /.
more harm than good. 1 was not sat
isfied with such a guess work plan of
people who put their health
and lives into my hands. 1t was too 1
much like attempting to hit a mark
only that it was so very
much worse since if one failed to guess
right it might mean the death of a fell
low being. I therefore determined to
find something or some method that
was sure, if such a thing were possible. l;
