The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-01-08

1T was born at Lyons, France. but at an early age emigrated to America and located in Philadelphia, tho City of Brotherly Love, and for many years I lived with an old Quaker family there, so during the early years of my life I was under the influences of that religious denomination.
 My parents originally intended me for the medical profession. Aft, graduat- ing in medicine at Philadelphia I devoted nearly two years to hospital work in London Guys and Middlesex) to ascer- tain how different diseases manifested themselves on the nails and palms of the hand and from the knowledge obtained from this special study l can positively determine the approach of typhoid, par alysis, tuberculosis and other maladies. ''As far back as l can remember" said De Nib1o, 'I was representative to dis turbances of the elements. I could feel storms, earthquakes and disasters long before they arrived. Impressions would come to me of coming events. l would astonish members of our family and friends by my predictions. I experi- mented with myself and thought, thought, thought and my power came more and more under my control.
 Recognizing at an early age this strange power conferred upon me, 1t has been my aim to refine, develop and up- lift 1t to that degree of scientific aecura- cy that it's benefits may devolve to my fellow creatures.
 T studied palmistry scientifically since l was IS years of age, primarily as a hobby the love of the science growing on me until I adopted it as a profession. I studied all the known authorities In Europe and to perfect myself went to India, where I remained two years. found the Oriental method far more re- liable than that in vogue in Europe, (and in this country) and I attribute my great success to the able tuition of Pun dit Kohari of Madras. Through this teacher, the most famous in India, I ob- tained access to works on oceultism which are guarded with the strictest care, very few infidels being permitted to see them. l have travelled extensively in Europe and have at one time or another read the hands of some members of most of the reigning families. Queen Vic torias hand l read on two occasions: also the Duke and Duchess of York Cnow Prince and Princess of Wales.)
 Tn Berlin, Germany l read the hand of Emperor William, the Crown Prince and other noted persons. The German emperor presented me with this magni- ficent diamond ring.
 T have very interesting souvenirs of my second trip to India, on which occa- sion l read the Viceroy's hand, the Ma harajah of Kapurthala, the Gaclwar of Baroda. H. H. Sir Pertab Singh and other notables.
 The robe and turban you see me wear ing, Is the official dress of the Interna- tional Order of Oriental Mystics of which l am an officer. The diamond in the star on my turban was presented to me by Abduhl Advani, the High Noble Mystic of the cult The headquarters of this or der are at Ahamar. India, in a remote part of the Himalaya mountains.
 'In Paris I received these decorations and endorsement of ,he Society of Psychic Research l spent three winters there and count the Due d'Orleans, the Mar quis du Plessis and the Duchess q Uzes among my personal friends
 As to religion De Niblo is very broad He disputes none of the beliefs. On the other hand, he says there is some truth in all. He says the Hindoos are far ahead of the rest of mankind In pene- trating into the mysteries Of life and death.
 De Niblo has on file testimonials in nearly every language, among which fig ure such noted Americans as Capt. Sigs- bee, of the Maine; Rear Admiral Greer Miss Alice Roosevelt, Mrs. Gould, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, etc.
 In addition to being an adept in Palm istry, the Professor is an exponent of oc- cult forces of high degree. The tests of his extraordinary ability in that direction border on the marvellous ana will con- vince anyone that this strangely gifted man Is possesd of mysterious occult pow uu6fp hn Qrn m lives of his fellow man. Many of our most prominent citizens who went to him doubting, some even scoffing. have come away declaring that the Professor told them things that no living mortal but they themselves knew and they cannot doubt the reliability of his strange but unerring guidance for the future, and many claim that his mysterious magnet ic influence has helped them wonderfully
 De Niblo Is also possessed of consider able healing power With his superior mental, spiritual and magnetic forces he has accomplished many miraculous cures Prof. De Niblo's method is unlike all medical doctors, as he diagnoses without asking a question and tells you what your ailment is without making any apparent physical examination.
 He lays no claim to great supernatural powers, but modestly claims that this strange mysterious power of divinatior and magnetic influence Is inherent in al human beings of a sensitive, nervous or ganism, and that all persons of sound in telligence may develop the unknown pow. CTS within to a more or less degree ant receive many benefits therefrom.
 De Niblo says the natural span of hu man life is from 90 to 100 years. He claims to have perfected system of mental physical and spiritual culture that will enable anyone to enjoy perfect health and retain the vigor of youth up to that age
 This most interesting man is possessed of most magnetic and sympathetic per sonality. He looks at least ten years younger than his age; his healthy and youthful appearance he lays to his method of higher self-culture.
 An interview with the Professor In his sanctum at the Hotel Hillman will cer. tainly prove interesting and beneficial tC any one.
