Rochester, N. Y, January 3-(special Correspondence.)-The almost miraculous cures of helpless invalids made by Prof. fThomas F. Adlxin of this city have been Iof such a startling character that they lhave aroused widespread wonder adml- ration and curiosity. Time and again he has taken oases pronounced hopelessly hnourable by the medical profession and restored the patients to life and health ltn most phenomenal manner
 There is considerable mystery attached ito his method of accomplishing these Imarvels, as it is known that he does not use the drastic drugs and medicines that doctors depend upon. He claims to have discovered that a certain law of nature lhas peculiar properties heretofore un- euspected, and that by the application of hhis law there is no disease that he may mot cure. And 1t Is matter or proof hhat with the mysterious power this dis tcovery gives him he has made the blind see and the lame walk He has revived kthe f1ickering spark of life in bodies on the very verge of the grave, and restored Ito health men and women given up to kAe by doctors and specialists. He seems Ito have absolute control over human Hife and the diseases that attack 1t. Notwithstanding what might be consid- lered a most favorable opportunity, he hoes not extort money from those whom he treats, saying:
 Carnegie chooses to give libraries; yrefer to give life and health. l am not "a millionaire but I am well able to af- ford to give my services free to the Isick and afflicted. My discovery is my own, to do with as I please, and l could charge every patient a thousand dollars hf I wanted to. But I don't And know of no law to compel me to take money for restoring a man to health. kio not care what the disease is. l am bust as ready to cure consumption, can cer, paralysis, Bright's disease or any one of the so-called incurable diseases ns I am to cure rheumatism, stomach frouble catarrh blood disorders or any other ills flesh is heir to- I am just as ready and willing to give my services free to a poor man as I am to a rich man. When 1t comes to a question of life or death sickness or health, the amount of money a man has makes no difference to me.
 "A prince or a pauper. I treat them just the same. To me, as to the law all persons are equal. I see and admit of no difference between patients as far as I am concerned. If I choose to help all who are i'll without pay, there is nothing Ito prevent my doing so. And I may ns well tell you right here that I mean to keep on curing any one who asks me of any disease they may have just as long as I am willing and able. What other men do what they fail to do. or what they charge. makes no difference to me. I feel that 1t is my duty to carry put my own plans in my own way. how ever much 1t costs me. l can not bear to think of men and women and little chill Ilren continuing to suffer and dle when q have the power to save them and re- store them to life and health so easily md quickly. And there is no disease may not cure.
 You think that a broad statement Well, maybe it is; but no broader than the truth. I know the wonderful power have because I have tested 1t in thou sands of cases. You know consumption Is supposed to be incurable. Well, not long ago had a young lady as patient, Miss H. l.. Kelly of Seal Cove, Maine. The doctors told her that she had consump- hion and could not live, and her case was hncurable. And to them 1t was. The poor girl was in despair, thinking her days were numbered But I cured her
