At the time the public demonstra-
tons of the efficacy of vital magnetism
as healing agent were held last
March in the Grand opera house many
of the doubters who came and saw the
cures performed grudgingly admitted
that the patients who had been Grip
pied were able to walk; that the deaf
could hear: and that the blind could
see. but hey united in asking, doubt
ingly, will it last? - 1t was an entire
~ new subject to most of those who
attended and the almost miraculous
results naturally failed to quite satisfy
all of them J. L. Sherman. manager
of the Vital Magnetic Institute, 6l3
Van Buren,, in connection with which
the public demonstration was held,
recognizes this fact and for that rea-
son made arrangements to have the
cases which We're treated at the opera
house investigated to discover the per
rnanency of the cures after the lapse
of almost three months time. on the
case of D. T. Taylor of 432 East
Eighteenth street, one Of those treated
at the opera house, the following re-
port was made.
This was one of the worst cases
treated on the stage of the Grand 1t
was a case Of paralysis which had peen
getting gradually worse for several
years. Mr.. Taylor at the time OF the
treatment had had three strokes of
paralysis, two of which were mild
While the other, the latest one. was
very. severe The last shock occurred
slightly less than year previous TO
the date of his treatment at the Grand
His extremities were senseless and al
most useless. while the pain and sur
fering he had undergone were Affecting
his mind TO such an extent that he on
one occasion struck match and trled
to light the clock, thinking 1t to be a
lamp. On several occasions he almost
set fire to the house while his mind
was affected
The doctor who examined Mr.. Tay-
Tor before he was treated at the Grand
stated that a fourth stroke OF paraly-
sis was almost due and that It would
probably be fatal if it came. The treat
nent was given and Mr. Taylor has
had no symptoms Of another stroke
In fact. it is one Of the features of this
method that after a paralytic IS once
treated by it, he or she never mas an
other shock, regardless OF Whethef OF
not a cure is effected
1t was necessary to almost carry
Mr. Taylor on to the stage Of the Grand
for his treatment there before the
crowded house. Through the medium
of vital magnetism he was benefited
so that after that treatment he was
able to walk spryly across the stage
and to his seat in the audience WITH
out assistance. Those VINO witnessed
the cure admitted that he was aba to
walk but they questioned whether he
would be able to walk tomorrow. or
next week or next month.
MANY have visited Mr. Taylor since
that evening for the purpose of discov-
ering for themselves what progress had
been made in his case ana he mas re
ceiyed many letters asking about the
permaneney of the cure. So convincing
have such Investigations been to those
who conducted them that number of
new. cases have been taken to the Vital
Magnetic Institute as direct result
Put Cor TIE beHeht of those who may
not be able to make the Investigation
for themselves Manager Sherman states
below what he discovered in recent
visit to Mr.. Taylor. However. nobody
is required to believe it if they dc not
want toilet them visit Mr.. Taylor
themselves and they viii find that the
following statements are not exaggera-
lions in any particular So far as Mr..
sherman is concerned he will welcome
the making of any private investigation
of the case that is done in good faith.
Mr.. Taylor was found hitching his
