ness district II IS large ndlAQsOtuS
home, fronted by spacious lawn
plentifully set with flowers and shrub
berry. An air of elegance and good 1
taste rests over everything. No sus- /
vades the place. Here the Vital Mag |
netic Institute was permanently estab- 1
lshed last spring, and here day after
day, Sundays excepted as no treat |
ments are given on the Sabbath, Won
derful cures are being effected.
On the morning of this visit. a num-
Der of persons were present. Five of
them were patients who had been
cured of ''incurable" disease and phys |
zeal disabilities at this place, They !
we're Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor of Topeka, !
we'll known citizens whose testimonial
to their cure of paralysis has been pub |
lished. Mrs Norman of Solomon, |
Kansas, whose sight was restored by |
Vital Magnetism at this institution |
after three years of total blindness; |
Mr.. Lewis, whose testimonial has ap- |
peared a man who was cured after
three months of blindness, and George |
F. jackson of Topeka, who was mi |
raculously cured of locomotor ataxia
after years of suffering.
In the reception room with them sat
an equal number of prospective pa |
tients-a man from Hot Springs, who |
had suffered for years with paralysis, |
a lady from Denver. who was suffering
from chronic stomach and internal
trouble, a paralytic from Iowa,
physician who had come all the way
from Wisconsin in hopes Of finding re- /
life from an ailment which his brother
medical practitioners had failed to ben
eft, and a man from western Kansas
who had spinal trouble.
The presence of the ex-patients. who |
had been treated and cured at the In /
stitute was explained by Mr.. Sherman, |
the manager. They were responsible, |
in a way for the calls from the out of
town patients. who had read their tes-
timonals and correspondent with them
concerning the eliabilfty of the 1nsti- !
tute. Therefore, they had been re-
quested by the manager to be present
when the new patients arrived, and tell
them by word of mouth their own ex-
periences with the vital magnetic
treatment.
After a short visit with these pa
tents and ex-pauents, the visitor was
shown through the building. which,
although it was designed for a modern
residence, with all the cOnveniences
of a perfect home, could not have
been better arranged for the use 1t is
now being put TO had it been built
for the purpose. The house is ele-
gantly furnished and arranged. Be
sides the living apartments of the
management the building contains
two reception rooms, a rest room, pri-
vate and public offices. physicians
Office and private consultation rooms,
treatment and dressing rooms all
IlO0-
ern cOnveniences.
The business office of the Institute
is always open to callers. It is in
this Office that a record of the cases
treated in former years are on file.
A carefully indexed collection of
testimonials from former patients who
nave been cured of so-called incur
able" diseases is kept. and can be re-
ferred to instantly. An elaborate
system Of bookkeeping makes it pos
sible to compare the diagnosis of for
mer patients with the number of
treatments required, results gained,
etc, with the diagnosis of new pa
tients who apply for treatment In
each new case this file decides whether
or not the case will be accepted. The
new case is carefully compared with
similar cases. It is reasoned that
case of failure would be a great detri-
ment to the business of the institu-
ton.
While inspecting this office. the
caller observed one of the handsome
carriages of the Institute drive up in
front of the building Several attend
ants went out and assisted an elderly
lady, invalid, to alight from the
carriage, and as she was unable to
walk, carried her tenderly and care
fully to one of the private rest rooms
where she rested from the fatigue of
long journey before joining the
other prospective patients in the re-
ception room.
It was learned that this lady ac-
companied by her daughter and a
trained nurse, had just arrived from
Oklahoma Having notified the In
stitute of her intended visit, she found
a carriage waiting for her at the
depot. The carriages of the Institute
meet all out of town patients at train
if the management is notified as to the
time of their arrival.
At 10 o'clock these waiting patients
were each, in turn, ushered into the
office Of the chief examining physician.
If their case was considered durable,
they were informed as to the number
of treatment necessary, the time ii
would take, and the cost of treatments
Thus the good work goes on at the
Topeka Vital Magnetic institute. The
wonderful young magnetist is adding
to his list of cures daily, and his pow
er is growing greater instead of dimin-
ishfng-
Il account for his great magnetic
power and it's lasting effects. said Mr..
Sherman, Gin this way. Alcoholic
stimulants and vital magnetism suf-
ficiently strong to cure the ailments of
the human race, cannot find place in
the same body This magnetist is a to-
tai abstainer. and realizing that the use
of strong drink would destroy his
natural power, he avoids it as if it
were poison
The magnetist who works these
wonders, is indeed a gifted being. A
remarkable intelligence is added to
his other strong points. To fit him
self for his life work. he studied the
human body. and is now a graduate
Of the best School of Anatomy in the
United States Knowing the exact 10
cation Of every nerve, muscle and in
ternal organ of his patient, he is en-
abled to apply his magnetic power in
way to secure the best possible re-
suits Testm onials from persons who
were cured by him 8 years ago show
that his natural power is the greatest
( of any living magnetist. as patients
cured then have never suffered a re-
lapse, and are still strong and healthy
