THE
PSYCHIC HEALER
CURES "DIABETES.”
I had been suffering from 'diabetes' for many years. I had gone under many treatments, but all in vain. I had no hope of re- covery. I was told by one of my friends to see the 'Psychic Healer' now staying in the Hotel Savoy. So, I went to consult him, who gave me a few "Tawizes.' I acted ac- cording to his instructions and now
I am completely cured of my dia- case.
I offer my sincere thanks to the renowned 'Spiritualist."
