Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-04-30

! Let us call him Dr. Bogus. This is his
preliminary statement
THE author has scarcely any preface to
| write to his little volume; but account
| of the erroneous notions of certain men, l
must not omit it entirely. Where Is
| the physician that has been able to cure
! disease of the heart gunshots, smallpox, or
| to heal the cold burn (gangrene) when 1t
| attacks a sound limb? To cure ali these
! and yet many more secret things are con-
| tanned in this book l can call heaven to
witness whether any one has ever lost eye,
tooth or limb by the use of my charms.
| Such men as doubt reject the command of
the Lord-to call upon Him in time of need.
If we may not use these charms, they
would not have been found out, and God
would not help when we use them. Some
say, If you use the charms then medi-
cine is of no use 1 can name a
Catholic priest who had his horse cured by
my charms He lived over in Westmore-
land county l can also name a reformed
minister who used the words to cure govt.
Woe to those who at the command of
any preacher dare to despise the directions
of my book.
81 have my proof of the certain cures and
can furnish them. Here are some of the
testimonials, after which l give the words
and charms:
| BENJAMIN Stoudt, a schoolmaster's SON.
of Reading, Pa. suffered great pain with u
tumor in the eye. In a little more than
tWenty-four hours that eye was as well as
the other. He got his help from me and
| God.
Jacob Stoufer. In Bucks county. had a
| little child which had commissions every
hour 1 sold him the charm with the
| twenty-five letters. At the persuasion OF
| his neighbor he used the twenty-five let
| tiers Immediately the child was freed from
the commissions, and was well.
This book of charms Is partly taken
| from one published by a gypsy and partly
from secret sources, brought into the world
with much labor by me, the author. John
George Bogus, at different times. l would
| not have permitted 1t to be printed, but
| my sympathy for my neighbors was too
great l am. besides. poor man and am
entitled to turn an honest penny by such a
| book.
| ut is a grevious sin to use the remedy
| or charm when 1t is not necessary, or to
print 1t for mere curiosity.
