Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Personal Letters of John Alexander Dowie After a period of comparative inaction, he awoke over night to find his name known. The press ridiculed and fought him. Incidentally, it told of cures being wrought. The big wooden structure became all too small to hold the crowds of sick and maimed and halt and blind - body-sick and sin-sick souls who gathered from every point of the compass and every stratum of society. Ever one indisputable fact existed: cures were wrought. And the opposition of press, pulpit, medical fraternity, state and civic authorities were but avenues which spread abroad the new propaganda and recruited the ranks of John Alexander Dowie´s following. His strong, pungent, denunciatory words and aggressive methods concerning the practice of medicine and surgery aroused the State Board of Health to action, in which they were defeated. The city authorities then instituted action under the Hospital ordinance, causing the arrest of himself and wife on more than one hundred separate charges. He fought this fight, which lasted nearly a year, to a finish, winning success in the upper courts, which declared the ordinance under which the arrests had been made, invalid. From this time his rise to great power, influence and wealth was phenomenal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
