Will fully demonstrate the various methods employed by such renowned
spiritualistic mediums as Alex. Hume, Mrs. Hoffmann, Prof. Taylor,
Chas. Cooke, Richard Bishop, Dr. Arnold, and various others,
IN PLAIN, OPEN LIGHT.
Every possible means will be used to enlighten the auditor as to
whether these so-called wonders are enacted through the aid of spirits
or are the result of natural agencies.
_SUCH PHENOMENA AS_
Spirit Materializations,
Marvelous Superhuman Visions,
Spiritualistic Rappings,
Slate Writing,
Spirit Pictures,
Floating Tables and Chairs,
Remarkable Test of the Human Mind,
Second Sight Mysteries,
A Human Being Isolated from Surrounding Objects
Floating in Mid-Air.
Committees will be selected by the audience to assist SLADE, and to
report their views as to the why and wherefore of the many strange
things that will be shown during the evening. This is done so that
every person attending may learn the truth regarding the tests,
whether they are genuine, or caused by expert trickery.
Do not class or confound SLADE with the numerous so-called spirit
mediums and spiritual exposers that travel through the country, like a
set of roaming vampires, seeking whom they may devour. It is SLADE'S
object in coming to your city to enlighten the people one way or the
other as to the real
TRUTH CONCERNING THESE MYSTERIES.
Scientific men, and many great men, have believed there was a grain of
essential truth in the claims of Spiritualism. It was believed more on
the account of the want of power to deny it than anything else. The
idea that under some strained and indefinable possibilities the spirit
of the mortal man may communicate with the spirit of the departed man
is something that the great heart of humanity is prone to believe, as
it has faith in future existence. No skeptic will deny any man's right
to such a belief, but this little grain of hope has been the
foundation for such extensive and heartless mediumistic frauds that it
is constantly losing ground.
A NIGHT OF
Wonderful Manifestations
THE VEIL DRAWN
So that all may have an insight into the
_SPIRIT WORLD_
And behold many things that are
Strange and Startling.
The Clergy, the Press, Learned Synods and Councils, Sage Philosophers
and Scientists, in fact, the whole world have proclaimed these
Philosophical Idealisms to be an astounding
FACT.
YOU ARE BROUGHT
Face to Face with the Spirits.
_A SMALL ADMISSION WILL BE CHARGED TO DEFRAY EXPENSES._
