The sensation created among the medical fra
ternity by his discovery and miraculous cures
has been so great that recently deOutation OF
representative physicians came here to study ana
investigate the secrets and methods of this Ycn-
derful man. While they and all were com
peeled to admit the facts and acknowledge the
countless cures Prof Adkn is making, they were
unable to explain or account for the mysterious,
intangible force he eXerts. Some OF them ed
mitted that their remedies were as bread VI ms
and water compared with his treatment. While,
as an upright Christian man, Prof Adkin gives
thanks to God for the knowledge Ne has seat.
he disclaims the statements that his ower Is
supernatural, saying: My power is not di9lne
or superhurnan. 1t is scientific TO the highest
