Miscellaneous - George Starkweather, The Healer, 1896

The Healer, George Starkweather
1896
 

Our readers well remember the circumstances connected with the blood poisoning case of Mrs.  C.H. Emens, of this place [Afton, Chenango Co., NY], and many are also aware of the fact that since last spring, she has had no use of her right hand.  For the past six months that member has been lifeless, resembling something dried and withered.  Recently Mrs. Emens heard of the remarkable cures performed by Mr. Geo. Starkweather, of Susquehanna, Pa., and she commenced being treated by him.  Mr. Starkweather's method of treatment is by simply applying his hands to the afflicted parts,--the "laying on of hands," so to speak,--and it is truly wonderful what cures he has performed.  When Mrs. Emens first saw him her hand was always cold and apparently dead, but from the very first treatment she has noticed a decided improvement.  The hand now is warm and she is regaining the use of it.
 
Mrs. Calvin Taggart, also of Afton, a sufferer from rheumatism, has been greatly benefitted by Mr. Starkweather.  The writer has known Mr. Starkweather for many years, and has often heard of his great powers of magnetism.  He is truly a wonderful man in this direction.  He is a machinist and is a valued employee of the Erie company at Susquehanna.  He is quiet and unassuming, and never urges his services upon anyone, yet is always ready to furnish relief to those in need of his great power.  This is no paid advertisement, as it is written without the knowledge or consent of Mr. Starkweather or any other person, but simply for the good of mankind in general, and for the interest of the people throughout this section who are friends of Mrs. Emens and hence interested in her recovery from the terrible disease that at one time seemed certain to remove her from our midst.
