Tliis science is of the utmost ^importance, as it educates the people to the highest standard of intel- lectual and physical development by the elucidation of every condition to a degree, from one to ten, and removes every doubt by vivifying latent functions that still remain a mystery to those who depend upon the simple rules of common practice where the double root is required. We must progress upon the rules of law and order of nature, without which our knowledge of men's ability and development is vague and unsatisfactory; with it evevytliing in sickness and health; as shown by these Charts we need fre- quent examinations as a preservative.

There are but few persons perfect specimens of the above types, and in proportion as they partake of one or the other, the blending of such characteristics will decide the character of taste, ability, disposi- tion, deportment and psychology ; of affinity between the positive and neg- ative ; if not the human superiority of organization becomes a myth, past finding out, supernatural. These organs are to the mind what the alphabet is to our language, and can only become practical as we are educated in their significance, the validity of which is to place every person in that legitimate sphere which gives success to life. Every person has a faculty for a distinctive position of usefulness which, if properly trained, could be moulded into shape and identified as time and culture develops and modifies every extremity. Civilization demands that we shall be educated equal to the highest aspirations, the character of which can only be classified by science that produces speedy results in the equipoise worthy of emulation. This chart is headed with the scale of power and efficiency of devel- ment of the several organs as revealed by the examination from one to ten degrees, and marked under such heading as the best judgment of the exam- iner will permit, which at times is not so accurate as the nature of the science itself. We are not supernatural beings, but organized photogenics so punc- tilious as to require experts, educated to the dignity of the proper applica- tion of these exhibits, of electric forces of light to our path for the expia- tion of every evil tendency.

S|6 IO These discoveries are highly appreciated by all that comes within their reach, and not a few are recipients of the practicability and efficacy of diag- nosis, and speedily assuaging every difficulty that afflicts the human family. It accomplishes more in five minutes than the most skillful physician in so many months in blind fantasia, experiment, and so acknowledged by many who fill the highest positions in public institutions of learning, others in the medical faculty, as head physicians, more than thirty years. Some pronounce them the missing links, others the "desideratum , " " a thing desired/' and "ad rem" "to the point ;" " i>i-rernm natura" "in the nature of things;" "jure divino" "by divine law;" " ecce homo" "be- hold the man;" and " ecce sigmim" "behold the sign." Before using "materia medica" "substances of the healing art," and "in hoc signo vin- ces" "in this sign thou shalt conquer;" " finis cor onat opus" " the end crowns the work." In the absence of these rules all nature weeps, and the medical litera- ture is draped in mourning and lamentation over the failure of medicine as now practised, void of a standard rule of diagnosis for which there is no excuse but that of ostracism, which reduces the faculty to the humility of interrogating the suppliant who knows less than the supplier, whose duty it is to explain promptly and intelligently the nature of every condition of the case presented to the pretentious incumbent, as " dirigo" " direct guide;" professionally, "fronti nulla fides" "there is no trusting to ap- pearances;" or in phonology, the science of sounds; "in dubiis" "in matters of doubt," but manipulate the insignia as presented here that we may be " premonitus, premunitus" "forewarned and forearmed; " " nemo me ivipune lacessit" " that no one injures me with impunity." Let us be wise to protect and preserve the noblest work of God, for which the above rules are designed. "A priori" "from the cause to the effect;" and "a posteriori" "from the effect to the cause;" "ad vitam, aut culpam" "for life or for fault." "Omnia vincit labor" "labor overcomes all things." Prof. W. has lectured extensively upon these discoveries to men of the highest intellectual ability with flattering success, and is now making en- gagements to lecture in many institutions of learning, and those interested in scientific discovery will take great interest in his book, as it illustrates upwards of three hundred different diseases in their respective degrees of severity ; also the accidents, and how they took place ; and the condition of the brain under such influences of registered reflex from one centre to the other as a constitutional constituent depending upon these develop- ments for support, thus, by the brain ; you diagnose the one condition of the body by the condition of the other; and it is believed to be the first and only book of the kind ever written. It gives a full account of every case, and shows the close resemblance of the extremities, " a priori" from the cause to the effect; the initials of the patients and places of residence are given ; and is written with such care as to correct many errors of anat- omy and phrenology by the embellishment of such requisite qualifications as to be read by pupil and student with equal interest, as it elucidates those intricate, sympathetic relations so mysterious to the primeval and medieval ages, and to assist the student, the self teacher of phrenology is a part of this work, with upwards of two hundred illustrations which will be found very instructive as a preliminary, thus making a complete scientific work of more than five hundred illustrations. Jg^The writer is preparing new Busts up to this standard of dis- covery, and his next work will be a treatise on the effect of the different organs upon each other and their similarity of symptoms, and the perils of depending upon such signs that renders success in the practice of med- icine an impossibility — for reasons herein presented. The human being becomes a power over himself when he can measure his proclivities and abilities to a degree. 3®* Every examination is illustrated with Busts and Anatomical Dia- grams.

This certifies that I have attended some of Prof. Wilson's lectures and consider him far in advance of any man I have seen in my fifty years of professional practice. He lias a remarkable faculty of diagnosis which is destined to do a great amount of good to the human race. Respectfullv, A. L. TITUS, M. D. Pittsburgh Female College, June 15th, 1S7S. I regard Prof. W. Wilson as the most wonderful man I have ever met. I have been present at his lectures, and have undergone examination by him, and I am thoroughly convinced that he has science for his basis, and is therefore entitled to the earnest consideration of every one who is in the least interested in scientific in- vestigation and discovery. He never fails to interest and instruct his audience. He is thorough master of his subject, having spent nearly a lifetime in patient, laborious study, and comes to us recommended by the highest authority in Europe and Amer- ica. Our advice is, hear him by all means. HIBBARD PHILLIPS, Prof, of Languages. To Whom it may Concern : Prof. W. Wilson, a lecturer of great merit, has been in this city for some time past, and wherever he has lectured has astonished the people by his wonderful abil- ity to tell of mental and physical disabilities peculiar to the human family. He caused considerable astonishment among our medical practitioners by being able — demonstrating to the entire satisfaction of all who hear him — to tell of the loca- tion of diseases and how to prevent them. Respectfully and truly, THOMAS A. ARMSTRONG, Pittsburgh, Pa., June 18, 1S7S. Editor and Proprietor of the Tribune. Brownsville, Pa., May 31, 1S7S. This certifies that Prof. W. Wilson, the bearer, is a wonderful man in his profes- sion. In his lectures in our church he demonstrated -what was to me a new thought, namely, that the brain is the index of the entire man. To my profound astonishment he diagnosed bv the condition of the head, and was able to detect the absence of a tooth, finger or toe, disease of the lungs, or stomach, or bowels, or liver, or anything pertaining to our organization. While thoroughly posted in phrenology, he excels all others I have ever heard or read in being able to detect disease and prescribe a fitting remedy. I am con- vinced that this is not guess work, but science, and will soon be recognized as such. Facts are stubborn things and cannot be successfully denied. I commend the Pro- fessor to the confidence of the public, and view him in the light of a benefactor. R. B. MAXSELL, A. M., Pastor of the Brownsville M. E. Church.
