WITHOUT USELESS And threatens to apset modern medical practice by healing hopeless lava lids of diseases prononnced Incurable by physicians. Says there Is no disease ho nir not cure and offers free services and homo treatment to the sick and afflicted to prove to all mankind the marvels of his power Distance does not hinder nor doctors' verdicts dlsconrago. NEW YORK, Sept. 15. (Special Corre spondence.) By his mysterious control over disease and death Dr. Wallace Hadley, the eminent thaumaturgic panopathlst of this city, has made the human heart beat again In the body of a woman rescued from the grave. And as a result of his success ful experiments he makes the startling statement that no disease should cause death. He claims to have discovered the vital principle of life Itself, the dynamic force that creates and maintains existence. Since making this discovery the cures made by. this man of science have been so remarkable, the restorations to life and health that he has brought about have been so marvelous, that he la credited with possessing some power over disease and death not given to ordinary mortals. He seems to have absolute control over human life and the diseases that control It. Time and again he has taken men and women pronounced hopelessly Incurable and on the verge of the grave, and restored them to life and health In the face of such apparent Impossibilities that he Is credited with working miracles. The wonder Is In creased by the fact that he performs these cures without the useless drugs dispensed by doctors, and that he gives freely of his services without charge to all who are sick and afflicted, saying during a recent Interview: . "I believe that It Is my duty to God and man to help all who are in need. I am not millionaire, but I am well able to afford to do my share toward relieving the suf ferings of mankind and driving disease from the earth. And since It Is my power to cure and drive out disease I feel that I must not use this gift wrongfully. I have no right to deny a poor man the boon of health, nelthej do I believe In making mm waste nis money on useless aruii. It Is not only that medicines often do more harm than good, but 1 have "found something as much superior to them as the sun is to a candle. As evidence of this my experience has proved that there Is no disease I may not cure since making this discovery. 1 do not care how severe tho case may be, how chronic, how long standing, what other men have said or failed to do, or whether the patient has been pronounced Incurable or not. I am Just as ready to cure consumption, cancer, paralysis, Brlght's disease, organic weak ness and other so-called Incurable diseases as 1 am to cure stomach and bowel trou bles, rheumatism, nervous prostration, blcod disorders, catarrh or any of the other ills that human flesh is heir to. 1 have done so many times over. Without Intending to boast, I may safely say that I treat more patients In a year than the average physician does In a lifetime, and among these are numbered casea that are probably among the worst In the country. And I cure because I have at my com mand a power over disease so great that Its extent can hardly be realfsed. For Instance, read thia letter from one of my patients, Mrs. J. G. Whitfield, of Norfolk, Va., who writes: ' 'I was so near crossing the Great Val ley that my body felt dead and lifeless; but you made my heart beat again and my blood flow through my veins once more. I was very despondent when you came to my rescue. My stomach, liver and kldneya were In such a bad state I waa afraid I couldn't ever be cured, and In addition I was afflicted with varicose veins and ulcers, that I thought could not be cured. I was In despair when I wrote to you feeling that It was a chance for life and health. I suf fered untold misery, but now I can shout for Joy over my restoration to life and health. I don't feel like the same person. I do feel so thankful to you. May God ever bless you.' And this from Mr. E. C. Bess, of El Campo, Tex., who says: 'I was as good as dead when you came to my rescue with your most wonderful discovery. I was suffering the -torment of the damned turn to California, where they will make their future home. Howell-Hanter.

Mr. Sturgeon, pastor of ths United Prssby tarlan church, has returned from Tarren- Beat Again DRUGS AND MEDICINE from rheumatism, liver and kidney disease, and dropsy. It Is hard to tell which was the worst, as they all set me almost crazy with pain. 1 did not know a comfortable moment free from pain. It was like having toothache all over my body, and all going at once. Doctor after doctor had given me up to die, left me dead, and could do nothing to relieve me. But you brought me back to life. I suppose you know how you did It, but I don't and I don't much care about the how, as long as you did It so quickly and permanently. The man I am now could whip three of the man I was.' "Then here Is another from Mrs.' E. J. Shepherd, of Colfax, Iowa, which reads: 'i sm one of those poor unfortunates whose many years have been spent In bodily affliction. My troubles were bronchitis, kidney disease and catarrh of the head, stomach, bowels. I am 64 years of age, and In those years have tried dosens of doctors, and hundreds of remedies, trying to get well, but nothing cured me until I took your Force of Ure. I was confined to my bed and coughed continually. I was In the Jaws of death and felt that the end was near, but you rescued my body from the grave and gave me back the health that 1 have not had since my youth. Now I am strong and well, and thankful to you and the kind providence of our Divine Helper." These are only random examples, but you see that they all tell the same story of restoration to health In the fnce of what seemed certain death. But these and the other so-called 'miracles' that I have been credited with working, are not miracles In the same way as those de scribed In the Bible. They may seem Just as wonderful to the witnesses, hut they are In truth simply scientific phenomena that demonstrate and prove the great value of the discovery I nave made, a dlsctvery that bids fair to unset modern medical practice, since now no case may be con sidered Incurable." "What la this discovery?" was asked. I have discovered what creates life. I have found what, creates disease and death, and how they may be prevented. A case of disease Is no longer a mystery to me. whatever It may be to othera. I can see through It as through clear glass. I see the cause and I know the cure. Cases have como to me that have baffled some of the best physicians In the country; where one doctor has said the trouble was with the stomach, another snld heart. Mill another diagnosed kldnev disease or something else. But In each case I was able to see the real cause, snd by removing It I restored the patient to perfect health. I have known stomach trouble to be diagnosed as heart disease, and heart disease as rheumatism, and countless other similar Instances. When these mistakes are made and the pa tient is treated for the wrong disease, how can the sufferer hope to get well? It Is as If you tried to tfure deafness by wearing eye-glasses. One Is Just about as sensible as the other. But I make a careful diag nosis of each case that comes to me and treat the real cause." "You spoke of giving your services free?" "Yes, that is right. Anyone who is 111 In any wap and wants to be cured merely has to write to me. addressing Wallace Hadley, M. D., Office 876A. 708 Madison Ave., New York city, telling me their greatest pain or trouble, their principal symptoms, age and sex. and I will dlagnoae their case, and send them a course of home treatment absolutely free of charge." "Do vou mean that anyone who ts sick can write to you to be cured without pay ing you any money?" "Yes. I mean Just that. Both my services nnd the treatment I send are free. I want to prove tA the whole world the value of my discovery, and, as I said before, I feel that it is my duty to give health to all the poor sufferers that I can. And I am epe cUllv anxious to cure those who have been told thst their case Is Incurable, that there Is no nope ror tnem to res-sin th'lr lost health and strength. If ' they will write to me and let me treat them there Is not onlv hope, but an almost sb solute certainty that they need be sick no longer. And It makes no difference wher; they live. A letter does Just as much good as a personal visit. I can cure them In their own homes ss easily and surelv as If they came to me or I went to them.
