see,and tell me all the particulars of her ow Is bit own
words. This she tog done in the presence of font with
names, and the following statement is the result. I
have not, in every case, used the absolutely literal
words which Emma Hawkins used; but I have, in
every instance, most carefully expressed the sense of
them, and I have also read over to her every word, and
she has signed the last page of the manuscript. The
following is the statement itself —"My: name is Emma
Hawkins. I was 18 years of age lut month. My
father and mother are living at No. 5, Cbspeletreet,
New Swindon. I have been in donsestie servisie for
nearly five years. Between two and three years ago,
labile I was at home, I was playing with some young
friends, and trying to snatch • handkerehisf out el •
young men's hand, when he suideutally gays me •
*evere bloc in my left breast I fainted atone., and
felt pains for two days, after which I felt no pain for
three Or four months, I was then In seeekie at gh.p.
herd's Bush, near Londe°. I had great pain in my
breast, and there was • lamp beneath the akin in It,
and the pain was so great that I could not use my arm.
After applying two or three turnstile. ordered by my
mistress, I was taken In hand by the medical attendant
of her family, named Spencer, of Albury Orellellek
Notting Hill. He ordered linseedaneal poultices. Ile
also painted it with iodine. All this time I was feeling
great pain, and prevented from doing some of my work.
snob as scrubbing, be. At last I retereed home, as I
was not equal to the duties of my pleas. I brought
with me some iodine which Kr. Sponger had given lite,
end I applied it myself for • long time, but as it did
not decrease the pain or make me better, I gave up tbe
we of it. Mr. Spencer told my mistress it was a cancer,
but told me it wane tumour. I stayed at home for
gaits five months, and as the rest front hard work
and the chugs made me feel a litter better, I took
another situation at Westbotone Park, London.
After I had been there about • month, the pain in my
breast obliged me to have • doctor again. I went to the
Westbourne Dispensary and was attended to every Friday
byle. Mr. Young, one of the medical men who took his
turn at that place. I went to hire for about three
months. Mr. Young gave me pills and draughts, but
nothing for outward application. I think his medicine
made me • little stronger, and at last he told me I
should get well. I reasiired • letter from icy mother
last July, in which she told me that Mr. Young, of the
Free Christian Church, New Swindon, bad cored • Yrs.
Jones of paralysis, and that she had seen her walking
about in the streste. In the same letter my
mother asked use to come home, and she would
take me to see Mr. Young. From what my mother
told me, I had faith that Mr. Young would ours me;
but when I got back to Nor Swindon so many people
laughed at me, and ridiculed my going to Mr. Young,
that I lost my faith. But my mother did not lose
Imre. She insisted upon my coming to us Mr. Young,
and at last brought me up to hint on Friday afternoon,
August 7th. The pain in my breast waa then very
great, so great indeed that I could not bear to touch
myself, or that anybody else should touch rue, and my
arm was fixed to that I could not, or dared not, move it
for fear of the pain. That very morning, when I got
Op. I shovel my breast to a young female friend. Phis
lightly touched it, but the pain from her doing it was
so great, I thought I most have fallen on the floor
fainting. When I unie to see Mr. Young, the pain
was all round the nipple of my breast, just like •
round plate, aud extended to my arin-plts. I
dreaded Mr. Young putting
_his bends %Woo me,
buena* I knew that everybody who touched me,
however lightly, always hurt me very mush. But
as Mr. Young solemnly assured me that he should not
hurt ma, if I could belies. what he said to me, I O°D.
seated to his operating upon. I was taken out of Kr.
Young's study into a room where there was an iron
bedstead and mattress upon it, and Mies Wreford
helped use to undress jest enough to enable Mr. Young
to put lin, hands upon me. I laid down upon the bed,
end Mr. Young offered up a prayer that Clod would be
pleased to cure her there and then. He then put his
two heads upon me, and covered the whole of me left
breast, and gradually moved them towards my arm
until they covered my arm-pit. I felt a very little pain
the first moment Mr. Young's hands came in contest
with me, but &fare he hest finished! felt no loin at all.
At last he took my two thumbs in his two bands and
telling me to look at him straight in the bee, and not
take my eyes from off him, he said : 'ln the name of
God, the Heavenly Father, and in the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ, the great Healer of body and soul—in the
Mine of the Father and of the Son—l bid you get up
from off this bed, and this pain to depart from you.'
I got off the bed, and stood on my fee, at ones. My
pain was gone, I felt no lame. Mr. Yours.: took my
arm and moved it about in all directions, and go me
to do the same, without giving me any pale at all. I
felt completely delivered from my pain, and returned
horns to New Swkdon. I came into Mr. Young's
house feeling very ill, and went out feeling very well.
That Mae evening I had • slight return of the pain,
but ever sines then I have been able to touch myself
and have not been afraid of other people doing it. I
have also regained the full use of my arm. I returned
to my situation in London on Thursday, August 13.
But the work was very hard, and more then my strength
was able to bear, and I found my breast was beaming
more painful and there was a slight return of the lump.
I therefore left my situation and returned to my home.
My breast Is not quite free from pain, although the Fein
iw mere nothing with what it wed to be. The lump
is now about half the size it was when Mr. Young first
operated upon it, and my arm Is quite well. I have
this morning (Tuesday, October 61 called upon Mr.
Young, and told him all the fists of the case from the
very first, and he has Ind them written down, and
they have been read over to me. I wish them to be
published so that the people may know the truth. Mr.
Young has again lain his hands upon me, but as! am
Lot in mush pain I cannot of amnia my whether rest
rod has ho-en done. I only know that since Mr.
Young exit operated upon use my pain has been nothing
to what it used to he, and that I have now the free woof
my arm as I had not before. (Signed) "Russ Rotenone."
This la what Emma Hawkins has to say in reference
to her case. As far as one can judge from appearance
she is an open.minderd girl, simply wishful to tell the
truth, and very grateful for the good which has been
done for her; and I have no fear at all that she will in
any way attempt to deny what she has now said, or,
first of all, retries benefit from me and then try to
damage my reputation, as was done in the eau of MK
JOnel.
