, some people may say or believe. However near to deaths door 5he may have been, she had not crossed the threshold. And, no matter what the doctors may have said Mrs. Brackney was not dead either. though both of these women would prob ably be in their graves were 1t not for my discovery"
 What is this discovery"
 That there is a law of nature control ling life and death, disease and health; law that is absolutely certain"
 And no one discoveredit it before you?" Apparently rot, since disease still ex- ists, and men and women go on suffering and dosing themselves with disagreeabe and useless drugs that often do more harm thsn good; go on letting themselves be cut and carved when there is no ne- | cessty.
 What disease do you cure by this new method of treatment?'
 Tt applies to all. With the power that is given me by my knowledge of this law, there is no disease that I may not cure. 1 have made the blind see and the lame walk. I have overcome paralysis have stopped the livilg death of cancer have straigtened crooked bones and caused deformities to disappear I have broken the cha4ns of morphinism drunk enness, and other bad habits. l have cur ed consumption, rheumatism heart di- sease, stomach, bowel and kidney troub- les-but the list is too long to repeat enough to say that I am ready to under take the cure of any disease, whatever it's name or nature, however severe chron- ic or long standlng, whether doctors pro- nounce the case incurable or not. In fact, l invite physicians to send me their worst and most hopeless cases to be cured"
 But how aoout those who live at dis tance, who cannot afford the time or mo- ney to come to youY'
 1a m fo I do not need to go to them. do not care how far away my patients are, can cure them just easily and just as surely as if I stood by their bedside" Then your power is i.-.e Faith Cure?'
 Not at all not like any of those cults It is scientific to the highest degree. do not deny the existence of disease It is only too terribly true, no one knows better than l."
 Then how do you cure them?'
 "All that anyone who is sick and wants to be cured has to do Is to write to me. addressing Professor Thomas F. Adkin Box 300 E., Rochester N. Y., telling me the name of their trouble or their prin- cipal symptoms, age and sex. and I will give them of my services absolutely free"
 Surely you do not mean that anyone w4.) is sick can write to you to be cured without paying you any money?"
 "But that is just what do mean. It is not charity or philanthropy on my part, though as a Christian try to do my share for my fellow man who Is less fortunate | than l. No one need hesitate about ac- cepting my offer. I want to test my dis covery even more thoroughly. l want to try it in thousands of cases so as to be absolutely sure of the limit of it's power If there Is limit. Possibly 1t may prove that death can be postponed. that a man should live a hundred or two hun dred years as easily as he now lives for ] ty."
 investigation proves the fact that all Pro1essor Akdin claims is not only true, put that his remarks during this interview are very modest and conservative state ment of his wonderful healing power. He is not only a man of worldwide fame. bu- to his intimate associates and fellow citizens of this city he Is known as an upright, God-fearing man whose word Is as good as his bond. and whose premises are generally fulf.-.ed twice over.
