MR MILNER STEPHEN, THE "MAGNETIC HEALER."

First Public Essay of Skill In Auckland.

In our last issue we gavo somo preliminary information respecting Mr Milner Stophon's first "magnetic healing" performance in this city, which was proceeding in St. James's Hall as wo went to prtsi. Our description of tho modus operandi is now

continued :—

Mr Stephen having completed h's preparations upon tho platform, came forward, and after a hearty " good afternoon, Mends," began a rather discoursive address. He said that he. and others who, like himself, bo'.ieved themselves to be possessed of healing power, wero often nut with _ groat deal of obloquy, and were frequently stig matised by tho harsh term _of " impostors.' So strong was tho feeling in somo quarters that even clergymen had refused to grant those certificates to tho afflicted poor which would ensure them gratuitous treatment at his hands. No doubt thero had been many charlatans who had mude similar professions, and he be lieved that some of them had visited New Zealand en that "lay,.'' but despite this fait ho boldly -aiiirmed that the power of mag notic healing was abroad in the world. In deed,it had been existent to long back as 9CO years before the Christian era. Ho had no need to trade upon the credulity of conridjng people for the purpose of gain, inasmuch as he had given up the lucrative position of Public Prosecutor in New South Wales in order to pnwecuto his calling as a magnetic healer. His brother, Sir Alfred Stephen, was permanent Lieutenant-Governor of that colony, and he himself had held such a remunerative business as a lawyer that the last time ho held a brief he had earned 80 guineas for one day's work. Wherever the British flag floated, thero he could enter the law Courts and make his mark, so that there was no need for him to set up as a quack. Besides, he did not beliove that God would permit success to attend the efforts of mere charlatanry. Mr Stephen went on to relate how he first discovered his latent healing powers when on circuit in New South Wales, and how he tested it by cures of deafness and opthalmia. So great became bis fame in Australia that people flocked to him on all sides for cures, and this so impoverished him that he determined at lust to charge for his services from people able to pay, and to devote his life to this noble calling of relieving the afflicted. Although he naturally shrank from the sight of a wound, he was possesed of in domitable moral a_id physical courage, and though he was often met with abuse and misrepresentation, no mortal 10,000 were able to put him down. The powers which he possessed were not of a magnetic character, but seemed to be those mentioned by Paul in the 12th chapter of Ist Corin thians, Of, course, bis power did not avail in all cases, A weakness for grog or strong tea interfered with the success of bis efforts, and so also would negligent ex posure on the part of his patients. He did not himself know in what his power consisted,nor could he guarantee cures. Ho could not promise even to cure a hcadacbo, but at tho same time ho had performed in this colony tho most wonderful cure in tho world, viz, the removal without surgical means ofan enormous cancor from a lady in tho South. He had also removed from a gentleman's windpipe a cancer. Theso things ho belioved to bo of vegetable growth, and he intended to investigate thorn turther when ho got to England. So far as tho exercise of his powers went, he could now read better than ho could 20 years ago, and the enormous majority of his patients must derive relief, as he made it a practice that those who wero not cured at the first trial should return to him, and few did so. After stating that he recently pub lished in Dunedin an essay on magnetic healing, largely collated from William and Mary Howjtt's "History of the Super natural," Mr Stephen went on, by the aid of this essay, to trace from the earliest times the wonders wrought by healers similar to himself. [At the same time an attondant went amongst the audience push ing, the sale of copies of the essay referred to.] In this connection Mr Stephen stated that he had cured a distant patient of acut.e neuralgia by sending hor his ring, which was charged with his magnetism. Other methods of healing were by touch, either of the hand or of a wand, and magnetic "passes." All these forms were mentioned in .Scripture, even Ananias being a healer. Many of the Roman Emperors, from Vespasian downwards, had the power, nnd also many of the Christian fathers, as Justin Martyr, some of the saints, as Saints Patrick, Hildcbrand, Catherino, etc. Even such a profligate monarch as Charles had power to heal scrofula, or tho king's evil. Jacob the Zouave, in France, Archi bald Grassner, and Prince Hoheulohe, in Germany and he, himself, who be longed to one of tho leading families in Australia, were eomo of tho most modern instances of this healing power-possession. It seemed as if God in His mercy had. given this power to persons above tho sus picion of quackery, so that the afflicted might be cured in cases where medical skill proved of no avail. Stimulated by the growing impatience of his audience, Mr Stephen concluded by producing A'A loving letter" from Dr. Stuart, .'of Dunedin, in proof of the genuineness of his professions. Then, after offering up a prayer for Divine help, he prepared to operate. The first case was that of a young man named George Norton, of Clarence-street, Ponsonby, who had been recommended by the Rev. Lloyd Keating. Mr Stephen had previously operated on him for asthma, and the young man declared that he had re ceived great relief, For. two months he had not been able to lie down in bed, and was unable to work, but since Mr Stephen had exercised his powers, his condition had ■ improved. Mr Stephen then operated upon him again, and the young man left tl c platform professing to be still mora relieved.

The Rev. Charles Carter next placed himself under treatment for deafness in the loft ear, but Mr Stephen's efforts did not seom to have much effect. He placed somo magnetised oil in the left ear, and asked him to attend again. In response to an invitation for some ore in piinto como forwtr J an, "old inhabitant,j named Ed. Lewis, afflicted with asthma fcr 20 years, paralysed on the left sido, sufferir g from rheumatism, and bearing four porous plasters on his body, hobbled upon the Slatform. He came recommended by the .cv. Thomas Hamer. After Mr Stephen had breathed into his chest and at his baok through a silver funnel, he declared that he could breathe more freely. Mr Stephen then tiiod tho laying-on of hands, whereupon the patient said that his pain had gone, and on essaying to walk he found that ho could use his limbs with a littlo more freedom. The patient was then dis missed with a bottle of oil for tho chest and a bottle of magnetised water to take for tho dyspepsia.

A little boy, eight years of age, nnd named Smith, whose parents belong to Mr Carter's congregation, was next carried upon the stage by his mother. He was Baid to have been a cripple from, his birth, in consequence of infantile paralysis. After the aflected parts had been operated upon, rubbing with magnetised oil was prescribed, and tho child was then carried off the plat form—;he results, if any, nat beinc ap parent.

The fourth patient was Marsden Henry Dargon, a man in the primo of life, who came recommended by M r Brakenrig. His complaint was curvature of tho spine, for which ho had beon twelve months in tho Hospital. Ho was hover froo from pain, but after Mr Stephen had mado somo "passos," the man affirmed that he folt somewhat easior. Tho patient left with some magnetised oil, the "healer" an nouncing that the cure had commenced. An old woman, 82 years of age (Mrs Mar .tin). suffering from facial paralysis, was then treated, and tho twitching of the facial nerves stopped. Margaret Sanderson, a young woman 21 years of age, and deaf in both ears for 20 years, was the n6xt "subject." She came recommended by the Key. W. E. nice, nnd after some breathing into her ears from the " healer," she felt a littlo better. At this stage the Rev. C. Carter, who had removed the wadding from his ear, and was holding a watch to it, announced that ho perceived a decided improvement. (Ap plause.)

Mrs Thornborough (recommended by the Key. C. M. Nelson) was treated for sciatica and rheumatism, and avowed herself much better,,

William Lawer (recommended by Yen. Archdeacon Dudley), suffering from enlarge ment of the knee joint, as well as stiff arm. Mr Stephen said that he could do nothing for him, as tlie knee oil had been dried up, and li„ cure wouW entail dissolving of the bone Iho still arm was felt, but no result ensued. George Taylor (recommended by Rev. W. Tebbs), suffering from a disabled wrist, had the pain removec*, and was able to move the injured member.

Isaac Frauklin, suffering from rheumatic fever, had tho stiffness taken out of his knees.

An old lady named Mrs Evendon (recom mended by Rev. R. F. Macnicol) was treated for an iniured right BtieiflWer and

arm, and was enabled 'o ticket aßuftitfn the arm Without pain. Tl-o.nas Pimblo (re'eomm- nd 4 By Mr J L. Wilson, of the "Herald") was treated f r deafness of old e'.onding in the right ou\ and afterwards said that ho heard fomel what clearer. " "

Miss Ida Hyltoti (recommended by Rev, W. Calder), a Mlffu-er from the effects of a kick on the head, received from a hone ssmo eight yoars ago, was relieved of _ prinful headache, and h.-d her oye.ight im-. proved. 'J his "cuie" was received with applause

Miss Hariris—For? years had suffered from hay fever and nervous affection. Rendered slightly bettor.

Mr<s M. Bsvan, suffcrii g from rheumatic gout, mado " much better."

, Win. Quinn, rheumatism in knees, legs, and feet, pain removed instattly, and patient in ease for the first time in three years.

This concluded tho perfoimance, the patients boing diieited to attend again at tho Choral Hall next week.

Gentlemen,—About a month ago I had a very severe attack of rheumatism in my rinht arm, so bad, in fact, that I could scarcely lift It without causing me excruciating pain. I had tried several kinds ot liniments without ob taining any relief. At last I tried Bt. Jacobs Oil, and after ÜBing less than half a bottle I .felt perfectly free from pain, and up to the present have had no return of the trouble. I shall always use it in preference .to anything I know in case of any similar pains, and will cer tainly advise all sufferers to do the same.—l re main, dear sirs, yours truly, \|
