ROCHESTER, N. Y., Dec. 2.— ^Special Correspondence)—Discard ing the useless drugs and medicines dispensed by doctors and yet healing hopeless invalids of diseases pro nounced Incurable by physicians and specialists, succeeding in restoring life and health when doctor after doctor failed. Professor Thomas F. Adkin, this city, ha8 proven the value of a wonderful discovery that threatens to upset modern medical practice. In the face of opposition, criticism, even ridi cule, he has perslted in his belief that hope should not be lost until actual and unmistakable dissolution of the body occurs. He claims, and offers evidence beyond doubt, that he has made the human heart beat again in the body of a woman given up to death. He cites names and instances, where, by means of his discovery, he has made the blind see and the lame walk; where he has permanently cur .ed T>aralysls, consumption, syphilis, rheumatism, Brights disease, and other diseases heretofore supposed to be incurable. More than that, he states that he can cure the sick In their own homes hundreds of miles away without stirring from his office. In one instance, that of a Mrs. L. A. Phillips, of Trawick, Tex., the wit nesses say that he raised her from the dead. Whether that is literally true or not, there is little doubt but that the woman would be In her grave to day were It not for this man’s strange power over human life and his mar velous control over disease and death. Mrs. Phillips had been a hopeless In valid for many years, and for the last five had been bedfast, could lie on one side only, and was covered with bed sores. She was suffering from a severe complication of diseases, including stomach, kidney and female troubles, and had been under treatment of 12 different hospitals and various doc tors, all of whom failed to help her and pronounced her case , incurable. Her agonies were so great that they threw her Into convulsive spasms, while her body was wasted to skin and bones. All the medicines given her were without effect, and she was rapidly nearing her grave, when she heard of Prof. Adkin. Broken In body, pain-weary, and without faith, but hoping against hope in this last desperate chance, she wrote to him. He replied at once, saying that he would take her case, assuring her that he could and would save her life and restore her to health. And notwith standing what tho doctors had said, he did cure her completely so that to day she is up and about, a well wo man, Joyous, thankful and enthusias tic. Another case almost equally re markable was that of Mr. R. A. Wal len, of Flney, Mo., who for four years was paralysed and was steadily grow ing more helpless In spite of nil the doctors who attended him. His cure •was so quick and marvelous that, a letter he says: "It was like bringing the dead to life.” Prof. Adkin cured Mrs. M. W. Nolen, of Covington. Cla., of a malignant cancer without the knife or probe; he stopped the Great White Plague, consumption. In the case of Miss H. L. Kelley, of Seal Cove, Me., and hundreds of other suf fering men and women have likewise been rescued by this wonderful man who seems to control some mysteri ous force not known to ordinary mor tals. When called upon for an Interview, Prof. Adkin said: "Yes, I remember the cases *you mention, but do not quite understand why they should cause any especial astonishment, since they are not more wonderful than scores of other cures I have made sine# I announced my discovery to the world. I firmly believe that there is no disease I may not cure, and whatever other men may do or fall to do, I mean to keep on heal ing the sick and afflicted of any dise ase they may have Just as long as I am able. I make no exceptions, rich or poor, east or west, wherever they live. It is nil the same to me. All who are sick from any cause may be cured In their own homes simply by writing and telling me the name of their trouble or their principal symp toms. age and sex, and I will give them of my services absolutely with out charge. I feel that it Is my duty to God and man to give freely, to help all who are afflicted and not to use my discovery merely to make money." “Do you really mean that anyone who is sick can write to you to be cured, without paying you any money?” “Exactly. I mean Just that. I know it may seem an unusual thing to do. but If I choose to help the earth’s physical unfortunates without pay, there’s nothing to prevent my doing so. is there? I have my own reason for my course In this matter and I do not want anyone to feel that by tak ing advantage of my offer they are accepting charity. I will have my re ward In proving to the world the great value of my discovery, and the use lessness of wasting money on doctors and medicines when It is not neces sary.” “What Is the discoveryf” ”1 can show you better than I can explain. Have some one who Is sick write to me and watch the results. Tf you do so I would prefer that you select a chronic case, some one whom physicians have said cannot be cured. Any doctor may cure a simple case with a few doses of. medicines, but I want those wherd oofn doctors and medicines have failed.

The Christmas fund for the poor is still growing and those who have the matter of making the collections in hand have cause to feel assured that the Christmas donation will be a suc cess. The fund now reaches nearly 1220. This Includes the cash and mer chandise on hand. The effort is being made daily to reach the $300 mark before the Christ mas holidays begin. This amount would provide a flfty-cent donation to six hundred people or a donation of one dollar’s worth to three hundred.

The parents listened and nodded to each other, their wireless telegraphy indicating that they were making mental notes of the wishes and resolving in their hearts to gratify each wish. And when tho wishes had been registered each little fellow gave and received the good-night kiss, and after a fond look at the suspended stockings, stole away warm carpeted floors to bed and to dream of the happiness that the mor row held for them. 'Around a fireplace where smoke lazily curled upward from a pile of ashes wherein Is hidden tho last of the wood—a bit of wood treasured because it is not known when' another piece can be secured—is huddled a family group endeavoring to keep warm. The fath er—well, perhaps he is dead, perhaps at work earning barely enough to keep up the semblance of living, per haps he is looking for work, or perhaps warming himself down at the corner place, without a thought of the little family. The mother, with thoughts busy with the absent father, the empty larder and the needs of the family, apparently heeds not the In cessant flow of questions of the chil dren as to what Santa Claus will bring. Now and then from out of the child ish prattle she hears the wishes for this and for that, and each wish so in nocently and so confidently uttered cuts deep Into her heavy heart as with a knife, for she knows that the wishes, the longings, of those little children will not be fulfilled. Memory scamp ers cruelly over the past, lifting veils from scenes that bring once more to view happiness and misery, feasts and skeletons, Joys and sorrows. Tho pan orama passes before the tearful eyes, its contemplation disturbed now and then by the chutter of children, whose faith In the goodness and Justness of the mythical Santa Claus Is us sublime as the faith of the true Christian. “And next morning. “Some good man or woman, Into whose heart there has softly crept a nameless something to warm and ex pand it, remembers the poor In this season of peace and good will and Into this home—for home it is in spite of the poverty and suffering in It—-a bun ble came. True it contained only cast a ways of clothing, of shoes, and of toys broken doll or w'agon—but the sight of them brought a sparkle to the eyes and a Joyousness to the hearts of those children. What cared they if they had gone cold and aupperleas to bed the night before! Had not the good Santa Claus brought hls bundle of happiness as they knew he would? And the cold wind that came in through the cracks of the house, after whirling the dead ashes In the fire place, whistled its way out through the chimney at tho wounds of merri ment, the outbursts of Joy. And as the hungry mother looked on at the scene her heart swelled with gratitude, and the past with its feasts and skeletons no longer passed in review. To the sweet music of the children’s prattle, on bended knee, she silently offered her thanks, not to that good man or wo- not to the make-believe Bapta Claus, but to God! “There are people in Macon I know who want to contribute, If but a tri fle, to making the poor a bit happier on Christmas. It is not necessary, to know whether these children, unfortu nate as they sre, will be deprived of a little pleasure by drunken fathers or worthless mothers. Sufficient it Is to know that there are somewhere In the cold comers of the city, people who suffer from cold and hunger.

Huxy Ideas of tho secession of South Carolina and of North Carolina's con servatism were suddenly crystallised Into vivid realities In the minds of lit tle hflSrth Carolina girle by tho news that Lincoln had called for 1,500 troops from our state to fight against the ae- cessionlsts. says a Hillsboro school girl In the Charlotte <N. C.> Observer. Governor Kills’ proclamation and call for 20,000 volunteers and the serea- ■lun of North Carolina on May 20, 1841, Ih/llled tha hearts of the Tar Heels from Murphy to Msnteo. The glrla threw themselves heart and soul into the cause so ardently espoused by their fathers, brothers, cousins, uncles and friends who quickly enlisted. Nothing was too deer to sacrifice for their equipment. When our boys went to the front they knew that the love, prayers, sour age and confidence of the women end girls at home were behind them al ways. The boy or young man who failed to reipond to hla country's call wss made to feel very uncomfortable. The girls could never let hlmforget their prefer ence for those who wore the gray nor their feeling that ha had rnllen far short of their standard Of patriotism, Soldiers' aid so'letlea were speedily formed and were actively at work dur ing the prolonged struggle. They found ubunfiant work for willing workers.Ta bleclotha were cut Into bits and picked to pieces by busy fingers, while others corded the ravellngs Into lint to drees wounds. Sheets were torn Into stripe and firmly colled as bondages for our •sons to use. Linen towels and feath er pillows were collected to send to the hospitals. Carpets and blankets were sent to the front. Women and children coaid use home-made cotton cloths and tacked comforts and cheerfully suffer privation If perchance the sol dier's hard lot coaid he alleviated. "Aunt Abby llouxr," as the soldier boys called her. used to make regular pilgrimages to the front, carrying boxes of food and clothing to the boys The country was scoured for goad things to send. Such primitive dain ties—dried fruits, potatoes, • turnips, onions, hams, sausages, cakes sweeten ed with sorghum, with dried cherries and demsoos for retains and water melon rind for citron, canned fruits and pickles. Soap was especially de slrable for every one. Everything that love could suggeet or Ingenuity devise, from the sennt supplies that weekly more meager a»-tbO bU shut us In from the wide world, was sent in those boxes.

Wo used to wnlk through tho cars, fill canteens, distri bute fruit and biscuits, give an encour aging glance or a kind word, and al ways grieve that we had not more to give. Once, by mistake, we got Into a car filled with Yankee soldiers, prisoners going to Salisbury. They begged us for milk, but with flashing eyes and tilted chins we said: “No. there Is not enough for our own boys and we'll not glvo you any.” The longing look of one poor boy In blue, aa he Imploring ly held out hls canteen, has never been forgotten by one of that group of glrla The dlro need of our own boys and the persistent refusal of the Yankees to exchange prisoners had hardened our hearts against anything "blue. No beauty or belle In Parisian gown was ever mors rlghly robed than those North Carolina glrla In their home spun dresses, woven at home and made by their own hands. How proudly they were worn—how much the boys admired them! Hewing cotton was very rare, and sewing silk almost out of tha question. Every end of thread was carefully hoarded. Sometimes a few apools of blockade" cotton were obtained at fabulous prices—1( per spool. As the girls grew their dresses had to be lengthened at the bottom, gener ally with some contrasting material. Every bit of woolen or silk was treat ured for trimming, for cording Sams or covering buttons. Our mother’s an te-bellum dresses were cleaned, turn ed. dyed and used over and over again In every possible way. Silk stockings were raveled, the threads doubled and twisted on a spinning wbtel and knit' ted Into well flitting gloves.

There In anxious suspense we waited the coming of the destroyer. In the home that received us the din ner table was set for President Davis and hls cabinet, who for two days an.d nights were momentarily expected.
