A MAGENTIC HEALER.

Auckland athances with the times. It now po?se3eea a ro ident magnetic healer who is prepared to re.- tore the ailing to sound health by mere application of the handc, and without offending the senses of taste and smell by the painful swallowing of nau&oous boluses. But even then only half the truth is told of this attractive and luxurious mode of treating the ills that ilesh is heir to. The potsona'ity of the leech himself is always a potent element in the accomplishment of a cure, and in the case under notice theic is actually nothing left to be desired. The practitioner is no giitn physician with a bald pate, a wart on his nose and a cast in Ins eye. Quite the contiary. She is a young and charming widow, whoso compassionate eyes will bespeak affectionate sympathy, while her soft and caressing hands tendeily thrill the ail* injr body with the stimulating force of an invigorating magnetism. The only danger is that some susceptible patient of the masculine persuasion may selfishly seek to monopolise for himself these rare gifts by persuading their fair possessor to the acceptance of his heait and hand, a;ul thus withdraw from the service of suffering humanity the boon it may now freely avail itself of. Seriously, how ever, I am credibly given to undeistand that Mrs Con way has already effected some remarkable cures in cases where the regular medical men had altogether failed to do any good. I have been told of quite a number of ladies of recognised standing in the community who have been treated by her for obstinate complaints which had baffled the best medical skill in the city, and in which her efforts proved entirely successful. One old lady, for instance, had suffered for 16 years from averydistressing malady, which Mrs Con way completely overcame in the short space of six weeks. With Mrs Zamiel's gracious and indispensable consent, 1 certainly intend to call on this interesting exponent of the therapeutic arfc whenever 1 find myself in a morbid state, the sage advice of Sam Welter's venorable parent to the contiary notwithstanding.— Zamikl in " Auckland Star."
