Takes No Money for His Services, Says His Mission
Is to Heal Disease and Teach Mankind a Secret
Law of Nature Which Has Been Over?
looked by Doctors and Seien??
tists for Centuries Past.
(?Fremi Buffalo Courier.)
ROCHBST?R, Nov. 13,-Professor
Thomas F. Adkln, a wealthy resident of
(Ids cily. has truly creiited a sensation
ptnofig tho medical fraternity. By some
mysterious law ?f naturo ho has done
practically everything' but bring tho dead
to life, nnd doctors nnd scientists who
havo witnessed his work are looking for
him to do this next, In fact, they have
been so taken back that they would
not now b.3 surprised at anything-. They
admit Hint all their remedies ?ind treat?
ment or? but toys and tinsel as compared
with the wonderful discovery of this
remarkable man. People say ho pos
ac-SEOS divine power, Many of thoso who
havo been cured by his mysterious pow?
er look on him as ? god. But Professor
Arlkin sayR: "No, I have simply discov?
ered a secret law of naturo which has
been overlooked by doctors and scientists
for centuries past. G believe that any
man's life can he saved so long as he
Ir not actually dead anil tho vital or?
gans of tho body have not bcon destroyed,
ami I .further bollavo Hint when I per?
fect my discovery a little'more'I. shall
he able to restore life to any ono from
dying, drowning or other causes which
do noi destroy tho vital organs, provided
decomposition has not set In. I know
theso aro strong statements, but look
at- Honlo of th.3 people I have cured.
They were all but dead, doctors said
there was no hope; yet in many cases
I rid them of actual disease In less
time than It takes to tell you about it.
"Thcro was Mrs, D; A. Phillips, of
Trawlck, Texas, who was the next thing
to dead when I took hold of her case,
Hero is ber letter; read what rhc says.
I never saw her, but? G cur.;d her Just
tho same as If she had been in my offlco."
Tho reporter was handed several letters
from patients, among them that of Mrs.
Phillips. The following extracts aro
taken word for word from some of.their
letter's, Mrs. ' Phillips writes: ? "When I
first .began your treatment. I had no, faith
Yn 'it-lit nil', hail tried so many different
kinds of medicines with no benoflt. I hud
been under the treatment of twelve dif?
ferent hospitals with no relief, nnd then
I .employed two homo doctors, but they
sonn got so they,did me. no good, and told
me they could do nothing for me, and
that If 1 could find anything that could
do any good for mo to get It, for they
bad done everything they could. I suf?
fered from every disenso that flesh Is
luir lo. I had been bedfast for five
years, unable to stand up longer than ten
minutes nt a time. If ev-3r a woman suf?
fered I did. 1 could not lie on but one
side. 1 had two largo bed sores that
gave mo a great deal of trouble, and I
suffered so much in other ways. I had
kidney trouble, catarrh of the bladder
and also gravel. ? used to suffer at times
until G had spasms. 1 also suffered from
falling of the womb, ulcera and chronic
lndigest|oii, and, of course, nil of these
illfiMisos left my nerves In a terrible con?
dition, when ? finally wroto to you.
Vou buvo done for me what no ono else
c-ver did. But my friends all say that I
have been raised from the dead. 1 was
nothing but skin and bones; now I am
fueling splendid. 1 say to every ono that
If they would pince their ense. lu your
hands you will do the samo for them.
All they need tei do la to give yon a
trial."
SUhs Hattlo ti. Kelly, Seal Cove, Mo,,
writes: "Words can hardly express the.
gratltudo I feel for what your treatment
has done for me. When I began talcing
It I had given up hopes of ever being
well Tho doctors unid I liad consumption
and couldn't Ilvo long. Now, after taking
one month's treatment, I am almost well,
and I know that another month's 'treat?
ment will entirely curo mo. I havo
gained in flesh wonderfully, and think
(hero Is no treatment on earth which
am compare with it. You may uso this
letter In any way you choose, and hopo
It will bo tho means of bringing others
to you,"
B. A? Wallen, ?Fincy, Mo.; "I was
afflicted with paralysis for ovor four
years, nnd was ttv?ated by different mng
notlc healers and other doctors, and got
no relief, I. think your treatment Is
moro than you claim. Thoy all say It
was like bringing the dead to life to bo
restored to health In such a short time.
I cannot'pralso you enough."
Doctors havo sought out and brought
th? very worst cases in tho country to
Professor Adkln, thinking they might
biifflo him, but they have gone away
convinced that- ho uses som?? Invisible
power or force unknown to them. They
cannot .explain the phenomena. Profes?
sor Adkln Is quito .wealthy. Ho lives
in a fine homo in an aristocratic poctlon
of the city. He has'a number of busi?
ness Interests, but devotes most of his
time to hcallng-tho sick.' ?? offers cer?
tain I help to any one- without ? rncmoy
or price. All you need to do fs- to call
on him or -write .hihi.'? Tt' you write,
Ktntn tho lending symptoms of your
trouble, your age and sex.. Professor
Adkln takes an Intenso delight In .curing
ensos that doctors have given up to die,
Hp disdains t!io uf-'e of Christian
Science, osteopathy, faith Ihenilng or
drugs. Ho claims his method Is scien?
tific in tho highest degree, although.
scientists so fnr havo bc??n utterly unnbln
to comprehend it. One thing la aure, ;tnd
that Is,-he ban some mysterious knowl-?
?dgo, asent, or process, by which he re?
stores health to'poople in. the very last
stages pf us.ua.H.v .l'a1al...dlsC'?i.f;es. Over
twenty doctors havo taken up tho study
of his methpds. . Some are staying right
with him and daily wltnosa tho 'remnrlc
ablo cures ho performs. Nearly every
train brings Invalids to be healed .by his
power, He gets an enormous mail from .
persons. In .nearly all parts of Ilio globo.
The most mysterious thing about his
whole w-ork Is bis ability to heal nt .1
distance; but thoro Is no laok of proof
that he dons heal those thousands of
miles away the same .as those, who call
personally. Thin Would snem to prove
'beyond doubt that thought, will-power
or some mysterious, Intangible force can
be sent through space the. same as wo
ore now .nblo to telegraph without wires;
but how this force takes hold and quickly
rids the body fif material disease1 Is to?
tally ihexnllcablo. In somo eases. Prii
fessor Adkln sends a peculiar magnetized
food product. In concentrated form, which
he claims Immediately Tovttollzes tho
whole system. What this food product
Is, how be makes It. or charges it ?with
magnolie fluid is his secret. Doctors
nnd scientists are vainly puzzling their
brains trying to discover It. Those who
urn sick and would Uko to bo honied may
communicate with Professor Adkln by
addressing him ns follows; Thomas F.
Adkln, box 11-13 A, Rochester, N. Y. Rich
nnd poor alike receive tho same courtesy.
Ho has an extremely nffnble manner,
but is Intensoly earnest In everything ho
docs. Leading businoaa men and bank?
ers speak very highly of him, and say
thnt bo has done more for tho morals
and upbuilding of tho city than any
other man hi Rochester.
