FARMER'S OAUGHTER MAKES i GOOD. ! Mary A. Rose, Noted Healer. Will Again he at Hotel Madison, Decatur, Next WEDNESDAY. JAN. 30TH MARY A ROSE NOW SINGS WHILE AT WORK. P,eminent Adams County Farmers Wife Saved from a Surgical Operation by Mary A. Rose. Noted Peru Healer. Mrs. \V. F. Hilton, R. F. D. 6. Deca tur. Ind., says: "My friends are very much surprised to hear me smR while at work. But 1 have good tea ' son for doing so. Had it not been for Mary A. Rose, the well known Peru healer, whom I met at the Madison Hotel. Decatur. 1 should have been (impelled to undergo a dangerous surgical operation. Now. however, 1 am in better health than I have ever been all my life; and 1 did not even have to take medicine, much less an operation. Asthma Disappears as if by MagicOld Lady Says Life is Worth Living Again. Mrs. Mary Miller (widow). Portland, Ind.. aged 62, knows what it is to suffer tortures of asthma, ever since she was fifteen years old. She spent all she ever possessed, with doctors, medicine and change of climate, seeking relief. But she found none, and continued to suffer; until happily, she met Mary A. Rose. She has had no asthma since—many months ago. She threw all dope and powders out of the window, for she does not need them any longer Blindness—Again Enjoys the Beauties of Nature. Mrs. Wm. Witt. Auburn. Ind., was almost totally blind for years. Her attention was called to the glorious work of Mary A. Rose; she was led to her. And now for several years past. Mrs. Witt sees to read, write, and even thread a needle. Now what do you think of that? This Helpless Invalid Was to be Operated Following Monday—But She Cooks Family Dinner Instead— Mary A. Rose Surely Does Splendid Work.

i Mrs. Forest Thomas, R. F. I). 4. Greentown. Ind.. had been bedfast for eleven months, two weeks of which > was in hard convulsions. She had I nineteen internal growths, so the surgeons told her. She suffered so terribly that she asked God to let her die and end it all. Five different times she was taken to hospitals at Kokomo and Indianapolis, where the most skilled physicians, surgeons and , nurses. X-Rav, etc., failed to help her. ; She grew weaker aud more painful, daily. Finally, another operation was arranged for the following Monday. in meantime, however, like an angel of mercy, a message arrived, annonucing the coming of Mary A. Rose, the most noted healer, to the Francis Hotel. Kokomo. Friday. Mrs. Thomas was carried there, to Mary A. Rose. And the following Monday* instead of going through that terrible ordeal of a surgical operation, Mrs. Thomas was actually on her feet, at home, rejoicingly cooking a fine dinner for a happy husband and children. The following harvest season she drove the mowing machine, made long hikes of many miles to town, gained twenty pounds in weight and has recovered completely; although previously she had spent more than $900.00, and was about to spend $250.00 more for the operation. Now after two years. Mrs. Thomas writes and says, that she owes her life to Mary A. Rose, and wants all sufferers to write her, so she can tell them who saved her from a life of suffering, and restored her to her children. Mr. Thomas, husband of this woman. was also relieved of a rheumatism that forbid him to even turn in bed. This family surely has good reason for being happy now. Epilepsy Fits—Son of Mr. E. P. j Paul, undertaker, Pyrmont, ind.. had from twenty-five to a hundred spasms some days. He couid no more walk, talk, feed himself, and his mind a total blank. Five physicians met in council; hut pronounced the case absolutely hopeless. One of the phvsidans turning to the now almost heart-broken mother, said: “Mrs. Paul, I would advise you to pray for (his child’s death; it will be blessing to the boy. and a saving of your own life.” But the mothor’s love for her darling boy did not lost hope. And rightly so. for Vlarv A. Rose, who has brought sunshine and happiness into many a desolate home, rescued this unfortunate child, and made glad the hearts of two more proud parents. Now. after fifteen months, father of the boy, sends his photograph, and says flip boy has had no more] spasms, is sound and well, and goes to school. MANY WILL COME. A* the morning of .Mary A.
