New York. May s.-(special Correspond
ence.)-The mysterious healing power Of
Professor William Wallace HadIey OF this
city. which enables him to cure hopeless
inva1ids when doctors, drugs and all other
means have failed, has aroused widespread
wonder and comment in all circles, physi-
clans and scientists being as much in the
dark for an explanation as those outside
the medical profession.
Various attempts to discover this mans
secret have failed. since he has refused
to disclose the source of his most marvel
Gus control over diseases and his strange
power to stay the cluth of death. Yet the
proven facts and evidence show that in
hundreds of instances when patients have
been pronounced hopelessly incurable and
given up to death by doctors, Professor
Hadley has restored them to health so
easily and quickly that it borders closely
upon the miraculaus or divine. These cures
are the more strange and startling since it
Is known that he has discarded the useless
drugs usually prescribed by physicians
and accomplishes these marVels by a new
and wonderful method of treatment un-
like any heretofore known to science. In
deed, one woman goes so far as to state
that Prof. Hadley made her heart beat
again in her body when she was prepared
for the grave. and he has performed doz-
ems of other seeming miracles of healing
in the face of death. He claims that there
is no disease he may not cure, and there
is every reason to believe that this claim,
startling it is, is no more than the lit
eral truth, since the records show that he
has cured cancer, consumption, paralysis,
deafness and other diseases supposed to
be incurable, with the same ease and GER
tainty that he cured stomach and kidney
troubles, rheumatism, catarrh and the
more common ailments that human flesh
is heir to.
Powerful and peculiar as is Professor
Hadley's ability, an almost equally re-
markable thing about this man is the fact
that he gives his treatment free Of charge
to rich and poor alike, devoting himself to
the relief of afflicted humanity fndepen-
dent of fees or reward. He is quoted as
saying that he looks upon his power he
possesses as a divine gift, and that he
feels it is his duty as a Christian to help
all who stand in need, without attempting
to extort money for his services.
| During a recent interview with Professor
HadIey the eminent scientist firmly but
courteously declined to discuss the secret
of the power that he holds, but finally
was induced to speak of some of the al
most miraculous cures he has made. Speak
| ing of the case of joseph R Stewart of
Camden, N. J., one of his recent patients,
Prof. Hadley said: Mr.. Stewart had been
/ told by the various physicians that he had
| cancer Of the stomach, complicated with
kidney disease and bowel trouble that his
case was incurable and beyond the reach
of medicine and that he must make the
most of what little life was left to him
before death claimed him. He suffered
most terrible agonies, anad was on the
verge of the grave when he applied to me
as last resort. Notwithstanding what
the doctors had said, I accepted the case,
put him under my treatment and cured
him. Today he is worth a good many
dead men, and in a recent letter to me
speaks of his cure as a miracle Then
there was the case of Mrs. NJ. Worthing-
ton Of Egg Harbor. N. J. For twenty
five years she had been a hopeless invalid
from complicated female troubles, many
long months bedfidden in hospitals. and
pronounced hopelessly incurable and given
up to die by all her physicians. But she
put her faith in me, threw away her old
medicines and is today the picture and
realty of perfect health. I took up the
case of Mr. E. c. Bass of E1 Campo.
Tex, after the doctors had given him up
to death and could do nothing to revive
him. Brought to this condition by the
