5000 people who witnessed the healing
OF the sick, deaf, blind, lame, rheu-
matte and paralyzed at the Grand opera
house last month are firm believers in
the power of Vital Magnetism a
healing agency, for they saw with their
own eyes the sudden restoration of peo-
pie who had been sorely afflicted Tor
years. There could be no doubt that
the cures were actually performed, for
everyone was treated on the stage in
full view of the vast audience, and all
were we'll known, honest, and more OF
less prominent citizens of our city,
whom every one knew. and whose all

It is safe to say that one-fourth OF
the audience were there out Of cur1OSl-

and total uneblievers; the other quar-

sick made up the other quarter who

in everything, but like a drowning per-

was true, an dWere there with little, If

The prudent investigator in quest OF

thorough investigation.
Therefore, when such an old and re-

Space forbids the publication of
more than one interview at time, but
the other Will be given publicity
from time to time during the next few
weeks. The first case chosen for an
interview was that of Geo. F. Jackson

railroad man who was forced to quit
Notwithstanding paralysis, or loco
motor ataxia, generally recognized as
an incurable disease.
Mr.. Jackson was so enthusiastic
over his recovery that to attempt to
publish half he said would REQUIRE
several columns, so his experience with
Magnetism is given in his own words
as follows:
Il was an electrician for the Santa Fe
road until years ago when I had to
resign Ny trouble began in my feet
IA years ago, the toes first beginning to
get numb, it gradually assembled until
my whole body was affected, and had
darting shooting pains all over me- It
was with difficulty I could walk, could
not go in the dark and was unable to
stand still. Three years ago it develop

confined to my bed months, and lately
If I got hours of sleep at night I was
thankful. Ny feet and limbs were cold,
numb and Hfeless. The pain I suffered
no words can tell. As I was growing
worse all the time went to Chicago
and took treatment Of the best ply
sicians there, who finally advised me to
prepare for the worst, saying: I might
live 8 years but that If I did, would
be a helpless cripple in bed and I had
better be dead Other doctors also told
me It was not possible for me to live
that such cases always died in a few
years, or became helpless. hopeless
burden to themselves and family
"Such was my hopeless condition on
the 9Th of last month, when with the
assistance of friends and my cane, I
dragged my paralyzed body to the Grand
opera house and took my first treatment

perfect control ever since I have not

audience he would have me wen enough

kept his word I guess he knew what he
was talking about. Of course I am
more thankful than / can express for
my wonderful transformation. My
prayers are that God viii bless and help
you in your noble work"
Mrs. Jackson was an interested
listener during the recital of her hus-
