wus packed to the d >r and among the
audience was tfie cripple referred to, Mr.
John G. Meyers, living at the corner of
Twenty-fifth and Church streets, Galves-
ton. He has lived here forty-three years,
has b( n terribly afflicted with rheuma-
tism for s'ixteen years, had done no work
and had been three years and seven months
in a hospital, where he was pronounced in-
curable. Mr. Meyers' joints were very pain-
ful, stiff and swollen and he wan walking
on two crutches. While 'the Doctor was
lecturing he hobbled to the stage and pre-
sented himself for treatment. He was
taken to an ante roonn, where his clothing
was partly removed and several bottles of
Yeno's 101 ectrie Fluid was rubbed Into his
limbs. In the meantime the Doctor ex-
P'Luimd his methods of cure ami j>olnted
out where physicians made many blunders;
t'hat they dosed their patients with strung,
mineral poisons which did harm Instead or
good; t'hat they in most cases doctored the
symptoms and not the cause; that they
made too great a use of morphine, and
while they relieved tlnir patients seldom
cured them thoroughly; that the only true
way was t^ lociate the cause of the disease
and remove It and there would then be
no disease left. He further stated that he
dkl not believe in the so-called Magnetic
healing and that ain acute or chronic dis-
ease could only be permanently cured by
administering a medicine that would re-
move the cause l'rorn the parts affected.
His lecture all through was full c-f sound
logic and common sense. Mr. Meyers w.13
then brought upon the stage walking with-
out crutches and showed himself able to
jump and stamp his feet without pain. This
was the signal for loud cheering, but the
excitement was at its height when he
threw his crutches over his shoulder and
walked home. The audience was dum-
founded. Several physicians present ac-
knowledged that it was the most remark-
able result they hatUever witnessed. The
Doctor explained that Mr. Meyers, al-
though his pains bad gone and he was able
to walk, was not completely cured, and
that after he had several more applications
ami) had taken medicine internally would
be permanently cured, despite the fact that
he was look* d upon as incurable. Dr. Veno
then said he would guarantee to cure the
worst and mo.»t desperate cases of Hheu-
matit-m, Paralysis, Fits, Hip Diseases, Ca-
tarrh, Deafness, Throat and Lung Trou-
bles, Stomach, Liver, Kidney and Blood
Diseases. He ha<s private parlors at the
Tremont House, where patients may be
consulted Free of Charge. The Doctor lec-
tures again to-night in Cathedral Hall free
and on to-morrow afternoon ut 2.30 to La-
dles Only and in the evening at 8 p. m. to
Men Only. Admiss'ion to these two lectures,
