respondence. THE mysterious heal
ing power of Professor William Wal
lace Hadley of this city. which ell
ables him to cure hopeless invalids
when doctors, drugs and all other
means have failed, has aroused wide
spread wonder and comment in all
circles physicians and scientists be-
ing as much in the dark for an ex-
PLANTATION as those outside the medical
profession.
Various attempts TO discover this
| mans secret have failed, since he
| has refused to disclose the sourse
of his most marvellous control over
| disease and his strange power to stay
the clutch OF death. Yet the proven
facts end evidence show that in hum
dreds of instances when patients have
! been pronounced hopelessly incura BILE
/ and given up to death by doctors,
Professor Hadley has restored them
| to health so easily and quickly that 1t
/ borders closely upon the miraculous
/ or divine. These cures arc the more
strange and startling since it is known
| that he has discarded the useless
/ drugs usually prescribed by physi-
! clans and accomplishes these marvels
| by q new and wonderful method OF
! treatment unlike any heretofore
known to science. Indeed, one wo-
man goes 50 far as to state that Pro-
! fesSor Hadley made her heart beat
/ again i'm her body when she was
/, prepared for the grave, and he has
performed dozens 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 as it is. is no more than the
literal truth, since the records show
I, a
/ ton, paralysis. deafnesS and other
diseases supposed 10 be incurable,
with the same ease and certainty that
| he cured stomach and kidney troubles,
rheumatism, catarrh and the more
common ailments that human flesh
| is heir 10.
Powerful and peculiar as is Profess
sor Hadley's ability. an almost equal
~, remarkable thing about this man
is the fact that he giNes his treat
ment free Of charge TO rich and poor
alike. devoting himself to the relief
! of afflicted humanity Independent Of
! fees or reward. He is quoted as say
ing that he looks upon this power he
possesses as a divine gift, and that
| he feels il is his duty as a Christian
to help all who stand in need, with
out attempting to c&tort money for
| his services.
During recent interview with
| Professor H8dley the eminent scient-
| list firmly but courteously declined. to
discuss the secret Of the power that
J he holds. but finally was induced TO
speak OF some of the almost miracul-
Gus cures he has made. Speaking Of
