"Beale, Dr."
"Beale, Dr."
The spirit doctor of Hulham House, near Exmouth, England, working through the medium Miss Rose. "Dr. Beale" is credited with the healing of many hopeless cases, as narrated in One Thing I Know (1919), Dr. Beale (1921), and The House of Wonder (1928), by E. M. S. (E. M. Storr), a lady patient, whom he cured.
According to his own claims, "Dr. Beale" had been a physician on Earth. He performed no operations, and his treatment mostly consisted of diet, bath, and massages. Hulham House was acquired in 1921 and was run on humanitarian principles. Patients who were unable to come to the home were often treated at a distance if they sent some articles of apparel to establish the link.
Miss Rose, as a rule, went into trance when "Dr. Beale" possessed her body and made the diagnosis. This was often preceded by another possession when "Madeleine," a spirit nurse, came through and prepared everything for the doctor as Miss Rose herself did not understand nursing. Another worker in "Dr. Beale's" band was "Dr. Nova," who worked through Sister Mercia, a fully trained nurse in a small town in Devon. Miss Rose often visited patients, and this way the healing was superintended by "Dr. Beale."
