Of course I nannot offer you the proofs of this. It is something of which as yet there is no proof.

During the past eighteen months thousands of persons have been put on trial, as the means to present this to the world, and I know there are a few at least, here present, to whom this prophe sy has been made; but alas, all have failed, and the whole power of the spirit world is now centered upon a single individual to effect it, and all the opposing powers of hell and darkness are also centered upon the same individual to defeat it. I know these things, and fearful to me have been the means by which this knowledge came. So terrible at times have they been that I have shrunk affrighted from the contemplation. For months I lacked tho courage to launch this question upon the world for months again I lacked the courage to do that which has called the world to the discussion of. the social problem: and JNear Mezanno, in Sicily, in lolu, was found a eiant thirty feet high; his head the be ever so hideous and that they are hide size of a hogshead, and each of his teeth ous enough know right well it will do you good to see yourselves for once as others weighed five ounces.

Even if I should grant which I do not that a few straggling sea weeds first appeared on tlie stage of life, this would not help the "logical" Miller in the least, for he based his cosmogony on "distinguishing features," and plants were never claimed by any one to have been the distinguishing feature till the carboniferous era, after animal life haddorn- inated through two whole grand divisions of geological time. Excuse uie Mr.

Editor, I laid aside your paper and took up my pen, intending only to write a few lines, bat one Sicily, a skeleton of a giant thirty feet long was found in the year 1548, ana another thir ty-three feet high in 1550; and many curious see you. 1 ior there are those to whom your every thought and your most secret acts are as well known as they are to yourselves; and let me remind you that, if your secrets were aswelT known to human beings as they are to spirits, none of you would be any the worse oif, wThile, many would thank heaven that' they no'longer carry the awful load alone. Hence it is of your own lives that persons have preserved several or tnese gigan tic bones. The Athenians found near their city two famous skeletons, one of thirty-four and the other ot thirty-six teet high. At Totu, in Bohemia, in 753, was found a skeleton, the head of which could scarce be you are atraid, rather than ot truth; since he or; she whom the truth will not stab, has no cause for still again for months have I hesitated to do what I am goinir to do to-mshtubut the word suggested another till Ifear ray letter encompassed by the arms of two'men togeth- -i i i -l.

The skull of the giant found in Macedonia, September, 1091, held S10 pounds of corn. The celebrated Sir Hans Sloane, who treat ed this matter very learnedly, does not doubt these facts, but thinks the bones were those of elephants, whales, or other enormous animals. Elephants' bones may be shown for those of giants, but they can never impose on connoisseurs. Whales, which by their immense bulk are more proper to be substituted for the largest giants, have neither arms nor legs, and head of that animal has not the least resemblance to that of a man.

If it be true, therefore, that a great number of the gigantic bones which we have mentioned have been seen by anatomists, and have by them been reputed real human bones, the existence of giants is proved.

The subject involves the necessity of free speech, in plain terms.

Profane bisto rians also mention giants; they gave seven feet of height to Hercules, hero, and in our days Ave have seen men eight feet high. The giant who was shown in Rouen in 17o5 measured eight feet some inches. The Emperor Maximin was of that size; us and Platerus, physicians of the last century, saw several of that stature; and Goropius saw a girl who was ten feet high.

The body of Orestes, according to the Creeks, was eleven feet and a half the giant Oalbara, brought from Arabia to Home under Claudius was near ten feet; and the bones of Secondilla and Pufio, keepers of the gardens of Sallust, were but six inches shorter. Funrnan, a Scotchman, who lived in the time of Eugene the Second, king of Scotland, meausred eleven feet and a half; and Jacob le Maire, in his voyage to the Straits of Ma til this science is discovered to the world.

Almost everybody has witnessed the beneficial results of so-called magnetism in the re moval of disease; as well as the further fact that not the same magnetism will produce equally beneficial results upon the same disease in different persons; and still further that magnetic effects are the most positive and apparent when the operator and subject are of different sexes.

But more than this, even: I am intrusted with a mission by those whose disapproval I would not earn, were it to gain the approval of a thousand audiences like this; therefore, tho' the task be not a pleasant one I would not shirk it if I could. If, however, in performing it, instead of driving you farther away from me than you now are, I should draw you all nearer, then should I indeed thank heaven for giving me the moral strength to utter the plain, unvarnished truth, as I know it, about the most important question that has ever interested or distracted the human mind. I ask you, for the time bdng, to cast aside the positive and negative currents are established, that disease, whatever it maybe, necessarily departs, since where these ray death under foot. And here it will be done, and the glad anthem ring out upon the startled world, "Oh, death, where is thy sting! Oh, grave, where is thy victory!" currents exist disease cannot remain.

The Chevalier Scory, in his voyage to the Peak of Tenerifl'e, says that they found in one of the sepulchral caverns of that mountain the head of a Gaunche, which had eighty-teeth, and that the body was not less than fifteen feet long. The -giant Ferragus, slain bv Orlando, nephew of Charlemagne, was eighteen feet bigh. itioland, a celebrated anatomist, who wrote in 1614, says that, some years before, there waa to be seen in the subburbs of St. Germain the tomb of the giant Isoret, ho was fwenty feet high. In Itoucn, in 1509, in digging in the ditches near the Dominicans, they found a Btone tomb containing a skeleton, whose skull held a bushel of corn, and whose shin-bone reached up to the girdle of the tallest man there, toeing about four feet long, and consequently the body must have been seventeen or eight-teen feet high.

Upon the tomb was a plate of copper, whereon was engraved, "In this tomb lies the noble and puissant lord, the (Chevalier Kicon de Vallcmont, and his bones." Platerus, a famous physician, declares that he saw at Lucerne the true human lones of a subject which must have been at least nineteen feet high. Valence In Dauphine boasts of possessing the bones of the giant Bucart, tyrant of the Vivarais, who was slain by an arrow by the Count de Cabillon, his vassal. The Domini 4 had a part of the shin-bone, with the articulation of the knee, and his figure painted 3-a fresco, with an inscription showing that Shis giant was twenty-two feet and a half Hugh, and that his bones were found in .1750 the banks' of Morderi, a little river at the foot of the mountain of Crussol, upon liich, tradition says, the giant dwelt January 11, 1613, some masons digging- that have not already destroyed organs upon which life depends, may and ought to bo from me; but accept it aa coming from the wisest and best of ascended Spirits those whom you have learned to honor and love for the good done on the earthly plane; those to whom, if they were to appear before and if this method of cure were once established.no disease would be permitted to go on to the extent of vital organic dew struction. and consequently that death from you here, you ould willingly yield implicit your prejudices; to unloose every fetter that hangs about your minds; to disperse all disease would be virtually abolished.
