The Original Boy PhenOmen-
on and advertised as such
throughout the U mite d
States for the past fifteen
years
Is In Abilene With Healing In His
Hands.

Those interested in trying
to get the Boy Phenomenon
to come to Abilene have fin
ally metwith success.
He cures all cases Of a chronic ma
ture that have been given up and pro-
nounced incurable by the Doctors,
Hospitals and Medical World in gen
eral. Many years of experience in
treating the sick has made Mr.. Dwinell
capable OF Judging instantly whether
or not a case can be cured by Magne-
tism. Incurable conditions are not
accepted under any circumstances.
Neither are any acute cases accepted
therefore he does not come in conn
petition in any way with your family
physician.
- While nearly all chronic diseases
are durable by this wonderful power,
such cases as Paralysis, Locomotor
Ataxia, Rheumatism in all forms,
.Gastritis and all stomach troubles
Constipation, Kidney and Liver dis
orders, diseases of Women, Deafness
Catarrhal affections, Bladder trouble,
Epilepsy and Blindnessin cases where
the retinais not destroyed, are per-
manentIy cured in 80 per cent OF
~cases treated.
He has been located in Topeka for
more than year, and has many refer
ences and testimonials on file at the
office, from cured people. Many who
have been crippled for years and we're
carried to him on stretchers or
wheeled in rolling chairs, or went
with crutches or canes, have walked
away without assistance, after but
two or three magnetic treatments.
The fact remains that this power to
heal the sick is one with which but
few men are gifted; and probably no
one living possesses it to the extent
that the Boy Phenomenon does. Like
the gift Of oratory, Of song, OF music,
Of poetry or painting, it must remain
in the possession of the few who are
SO favored by nature. No other en-
dowment is so great as that which en-
ables its owner to conquer and dispel
disease without medicine, by simply
the laying on Of hands. There seem
to be no infrmities too hopeless to be
beyond the reach Of his marvellous
power.
