GOODFOR EVERYBODY
and everyone needs It at all times of the
year. Malaria is always about, and the
only preventive and relief is to keep the
Liver active. You must help the Liver a bit,
and the best helper is the Old Friend, SIM¬
MONS Liver regulator, the Red z.
Mr. C. Himrod, of Lancaster, Ohio,
says: 44 Simmons liver regulator
broke a case of Malarial Fever of three
years' standing for me, and less than
one bottle did the business. I shall use
it when in need, and recommend it.”
Be sure that you get it. Always look for
the RED Z on the package. And don’t
forget the word REGULATOR. It is SIM¬
MONS LIVER REGULATOR, and there is
only one, and every one who takes it is
sure to be benefited. THE BENEFIT IS
ALL IN THE REMEDY. Take it also for
Biliousness and Sick Headache; both are
caused by a sluggish Liver.

HEALER OF ALL ILLS.
THE WONDERFUL FAITH POWER
OF SCHLADER.
Man in New Mexico Who Cures
the Sick,
Makes the Deaf Hear and Comforts
the Sorrowing.
Albuquerque, N. M., A. 31.
—Here in New Mexico, inhere the
native population may he seen dai¬
ly in the wheat fields cutting wheat
with a sickle; where the gram is
still separated from the chiff by
the wind, where the mortar and
pestle a e still commonly used in
die home manufacture of flour, and
bread is baked in a clayovea, there
s iddenly burst upon the view of
t lese people a man bearing a
striking resemblance of the pict¬
ures of the Christ who once looked
upon just such scenes as these ; a
man who tastes not of food; a man
whose touch brings sight to the
blind, hearing to the deaf, motion
to the halt peace to the suffering.
He was first doubted by these peo¬
ple, though he came among them
professing more than he appeared.
He was persecuted by the higher
class of Mexican population threat¬
ening him as an imposter, a
schemer, a lunatic, but his perse¬
cutors he has transformed into his
staunchest friends.
For more than two weeks he has
been followed by friends wherever
h- has gone. Today a constant
stream of people passed before him,
praying that he touch their hands.
Blind, deaf and halt are lead or
carried to him ; women with tiny
babes bring them to him to be
healed of ailments real or imagina¬
ry, old, middle aged, young, igno
ranb - Atul- ^
visit him at the lowly homes he
most frequents, or in the homes of
the rich and prominent, where he
is a welcome guest. Each and all,
high or lowly, he treats the same,
and from no one will he take one
cent for the services he has per¬
formed, though money is repeated¬
ly pressed upon him. To all he
has the same kindly greeting, the
same kindly treatineut.
IS DOING MUCH GOOD.
Many of them have been inves¬
tigating, and now even the most
credulous are willing to admit the
man is doing many men good and
no man harm ; Among the Ameri¬
cans it is attributed toanimal mag¬
netism, and the principles upon
which the Christian science doc
trio** founded.. J
Stories of his cures are beyond
belief.
At Pajarito, in the small parlor
of the adobe home of Juan Garcia,
the credulous information-seekers
found the man they had followed
nearly fifty miles. He is a man of
about six feet in height and weighs
probably 160 pounds. His form is
that of the athlete. First of all to
strike the observer is the remarka¬
ble likeness between the man and
the pictures of Christ. For cloth¬
ing the man wore simply a blue
calico shirt and a blue jeans “jump¬
er,” falling over the hips to meet
blue overalls much too short for
him. The first to apply to him for
the healing touch was a relative of
the host, an old man who had to¬
tally lost the sight of one eye. Mo
tioning him to a seat by his side,
the ‘ ‘healer’ ’ took the hands of
the patient in his own. For five
minutes the two sat there speech¬
less. The lips of the “healer ’ >
could be seen to move at times
and occasionally his big blue eyes
were directed upward. Now and
then, tbo, a shudderseemedtopass
over him, his body swaying with
emotion. The old man's sightless
orb was directed toward the lace ol
the man to whom he appealed for
succor, and his body swayed with
emotion of anticipation. They sat
there speechless, until the old man
arose and with a sigh departed to
the placita. Men, women and
children took the seat he had va¬
cated and the former proceeding
was repeated. Some left the chair
declaring their pain had vanished,
others said they had noticed
beneficial results. As the ‘ healer t
held the hands of his patients he
talked with the people about him.
4 < I shall be 39 years of age in a
few days,” he said in answer to a
question. » i I was born in Alsace
Loraine when it was a French
possession, and am therefore a
Frenchman. > »
The voice and accent indicated
the German and the name given by
him, Francis Schlader, proved that
he was of German extraction.
Tw t> yM o.n«l a Ht»lf aen T
was working at my trade in Den¬
ver. I am a shoemaker. I had a
shop at 1845 Stout street, and later
one at 1848 Downing avenue.
One day”—and here the voice
changed from the coarse gutural of
the foreigner to tones soft, pure
and sweet—“one day after I had
finished my work and was sitting
at my bench a voice canfe to me
telling me to write to a fiimd of
mine living on the north side of
Long Island and that he would be
cured of paralysis. I doubted and
did not write. A second time the
voice came tome. I then believed
and wrote at once. Soon after I
heard my friend had been cured.
FASTED SEVENTY-FIVE DAYS.
4 4 Did that yoicf* to you in
a dream ? . 1
“No. I wras sitting listlessly at
the bench, wide awake. For eight
months I kept at my work, and
one day the Master told me to go
out and heal the sick. My first
carried me west over the
of the Union Pacific. My
Master told me I must fast, and
seventy-five days I did not
food.”
1 t Do you still fast ?”
4 4 At times, yes, when my Mas¬
tells me to. 1 have not touch¬
food now for ten days ; I am to
this time forty days, and after
power?”
“From my Master. It rests
in faith. Not necessarily in
but in one’s self and in my
I am only a poor shoe¬
I simply do as I am told. >»
4 4 Have your instructions never
you into trouble ?”
< t Yes. I was once arrested in
Texas, and once in
Springs, Arkansas, for doing
I had been told to do. ft
“Do you heal by the Christian
method?”
4 4 I know’ no science ; I simply
as I am told.”
SAID TO CUkb au,.
Just then the wife of a promi- I
Mexican asked Schlader if he
come to her home, vSehla
ey’es went upward, and after
moment, during which he seem¬
in prayer, he said :
• t I will go one week from to-day
noon. » »
4 4 Where will you lie at That
?”
• < Only my Master knows, But
wherever I am, if you send for me
I will come at that time. » »
An hour afterward, just as a
storm crept in from the mountains,
he started for the Indian village of
Isleta.

as Albuquerque has not seen in
many years. Many there w’ere
who did believe the accounts and
took pains to ascertain if there was
anything in them. The news
spread rapidly and in a few days a
blind man came from Denver to see
if he could regain his sight, With
a guide he spent Saturday scouring
the country for Schlader, but to no
purpose.
Sunday morning Schlader ap
peared in Albuquerque at the home
of Mrs. Werner, in that portion
the city called “Old Town.” The
news of his arrival spread through
the city like wildfire, and from the
moment of his arrival early Sunday
morning until late that night hun
dreds of people were struggling
get to his side. At first few peo
pie but the Mexicans went to him
for treatment. As stories of
from the lips of the patients
selves filled the air the more
l y educated Spaniards and
Americans began looking into the
matter. Every day the i i healer”
made converts, and men who had
decried him as an impostor public¬
ly apologized for their unbelief
and unkind remarks. The “heal¬
er” began yielding to the pleadings
of the wealthiest citizens who de
sired him to go to their homes until,
when it became generally known
he would go when asked, he has
been the g-uest of some of the most
imminent citizens of Albuquerque.
All admit there is something re¬
markable about the man : all ad
mire him for his honesty of pur
pose and endeavor, and all admit
that he is doing a great deal of
Many of the leading people of
the city are among his patients,
and the result of their treatment is
being watched by the entire city.
One prominent and wealthy citizen
has promised to build Schlader a
church if his wife is cured of an
affliction.
REFUSES ANY REMUNERATION.
In spite of the laudation given
him, in spite of the fact that he is
eagerly sought by the rich and in¬
fluential, Schlader’s manner has
not changed •— least. He
treats all alike and seent not- to
know or see the persons he grasps
by the hands. Though money and
clothing have been offered him by
hundreds of people, he has never
been knowm, save in one instance,
to take anything tendered. That
one exception occurred at Tome, a
small town near Peralta. A man
whom he had cured insisted upon
Schlader’s taking money.
He stoutly refused, but the man
persisted. At last Schlader yield¬
ed to his entreaties and stretched
out his hand for the coin. Receiv¬
ing it, he turned to a group ofpoor
viucCl ia - unfCmg * tuVrTii.* * 1 ilctVV
no use for money,” was all he
said.
Most remarkable about him, per¬
haps, is the fact that he partakes
of no solid food. For seventeen
days now a watch has been kept
over him constantly, and the
watchers, who are men of repute,
willing to take oath that he
has put nothing upon his stomach
during that time except water.
Still another phase of the ease is
the clairvoyant power of the man.
Numerous instances are cited where
the man has foretold calls that
would be made upon him, when
the caller himself .,, as still among
the skeptics, and had no idea of
g° in &- He has foretold, too, oc
eurrences of every-day business
life which affected him, when there
was no possible chance of his
knowing aught of the matter he
had spoken of.
Converts to this strange man’s
cause have not been made, of
course, without some reason for it.
This something has been his cur¬
ing of people of all classes, The
following statements are made
either by the patients or some near
relative.
Perfecto Armijo, who for many
years was sheriff of the county, and
who , is . probably . ., the best , . , known
Mexican in the territory, gives the
following statement regarding
treatment of his wife’s mother:
4 4 My wife’s mother. Con
«_ r <.’e»n vrarzia, has for many years
past had a paralyzed arm, and was
not able to make any use of it.
When she heard of this man she
determined to go to see him. We
tried to dissuade her from it be¬
cause none of the rest of us had
any confidence in him. We told
her that he was merely a crazy
humbug traveling around thecoun
,
try deceiving the ignorant classes,
and that if she ran after him she
would only make herself ridieu
lous. She determined to go, and
to humor her I went w ith her.
She worked her way through the
crowd, and was treated by him.
When she came out she had just
as good use of the paralyzed arm as
she had of the other one, and is
working around the house at this
j hour, with just as good use of both
arms as any other woman of her
; age in this country. That’s all 1
know of the man, but that’s enough
to change my opinion of him. A
fact like this, coming right home
to me, does not admit of any’ ar
gumetit or leave any room for
doubt, > »
Mariano Armiio, who was one of
the doubters, said : “One of my
acquintances, whom I have known
positively to have been hardly” able
to walk, met me on the streets to
day. He was on the opposite cor¬
ner and as I looked at him hecame
running toward me waving his
hat, as spry and happy as a school
boy. He said he could walk as
well as he ever "cSmrtiri oce he had
been to see the “healer.”
Tereso Ulivirri, who has been
for years says : t i I have been
for years. At night I have
such excruciating pains I have
unable to rest. My wife has
been up with me for
at a time. I went to this
and for the last few nights I
had absolutely no pain and I
like a child. > 1
Charles Slamp, whose foot had
been crushed by a railway car,
said: t 1 About two hours after I
had been treated by this man, after
J had been carried home, being
unable to Wjr the least weight on
the injured foot. I felt a ’peculiar
sensation in the foot, and,
knowing why, I jumped out of bed,
upon it. Since
that time 1 have oetfo ^ walk
upon it without pain.”
TESTIFY TO HIS POWERS.
Mrs. G. Oxenditie, wife ofa well
known expressman in the city, was
almost helpless with rheumatism.
She was treated by Schlader and
since her husband states, she has
been as well as she ever was in
her life.
Peter H. McGuire, of Winslow,
who was so badly affected with
rheumatism he had to walk with
two crutches, visited the “healer"
ins' Oi uYvnes’.*~ 'tsifuT- tvfe' naK'iratrfin
return of the trouble. Mr. Mc¬
Guire personally gives the state¬
ment to that effect.
C. J. Roetgun, of Denver, says
his wife, who was stone deaf be¬
fore she was treated by Schlader,
is now able to carry on an ordinary
conversation in a conversational
tone, These are but samples of
the tales which are repeated by
hundreds in this city. Whether
any of the cures will prove per¬
manent or not only time can tell.
Walter C. Hadley is probably.
the wealthiest man in this
He is an ex territoitat Senator, an
ex-editor re*™ mently eonnect
ed with all the advanced nuwe
merits of the territory s«d w*
In order to study this m»™oc
he invited him to his home, After
his guest had gone Mr. Hadley
said:
“This much I will say for him.
He is not an imposter, He is just
what he represents himself to^ lie.
He is consistent in all his actions.
That he has power 1 cannot deny,
since I have been treated by him.
Whence it comes I cannot say.
That he has to an unusual degree
the power of animal magnetism,
cannot be denied. Such power as
he shows must work for good, and
when the possessor, or
he may be. gives it freely for the
benefit of mankind, receiving for
exereise no portion of this
wor pps wordly goods, he should
no t be discouraged by intelligent
persons in any walk in life.
r)on Thomas;, who for years has
held the position of judge of the
probate court here, and who was
one of the indignant doubters from
the first, says : explain it,
4 4 I do not pretend to is doing
but the fact is, this man
many very wonderful things and
is accomplishing much good. 1 his
is plain to everyone who will
take pains to investigate the
man.”
