CAPTAIN HUDSON'S CURATIVE IVIES-
MERISM.—The following are a few of the many eases
which Captain Hudson has been able to relieve—some from
extreme pain. He has given eight hundred lectures in Eng-
land and Ireland, and formed societies to carry out the
principles of Mesmerism in conjunction with the London
Mesmeric Infirmary, 36, Weymouth-street. Portland-place ;
Dr. Whately, Archbishop of Dublin, President.

BLINDNESS!

Sarah Carlton, of Sleffeid,tenyears old, lost the sight of
her right eye twelve months ago. She was brought to me by
her grandmother (Mary Woodcock). I put her into the
"sleep," and advised her to take magnetised water to drink,
and put a bandage on at night of the same. To the inexpres-
sible joy of her friends next morning, she could see objects
across the street, and still continues to enjoy her sight per-
fectly. She now sleeps well and enjoys good spirits, and
trusts, by the blessing of God, she will receive a lasting cure.
The following cases are extracted from the Zola/ for July,
1854: DISPERSION OF A LARGE ABSCESS.
Sir,—My son had an enormously large and painful swelling
on the neck. He called in a surgeon, who advised him that
it should be lanced. By the aid of magnetism, Capt. Hudson
cured it after five applications, to the astonishment of the
medical gentleman. I can bear testimony to the above state-
ment.—J. HEPWORTH, Hunter's-row near Sheffield.
SPINAL AFFECTION.
William Hawley, of Arundel-street, Sheffield, who for 14
years had received sick pay from the Masons' Sick Society,
on account of a spinal disease, is now restored by Captain
Hudson, and has ceased to receive pay from the society by
order of the committee ; has been at work twelve weeks,
filing steel hammers—is now quite well.
This person had upwards of 300 leeches on his body, 60
blisters on his back ; was four months in the Sheffield Infir-
mary, and turned out incurable.

PALSY.
Joseph Dickinson, of Sheffield, was afflicted three years
with paralysis in his left aide, and was deranged in his mind
—is now cured and able to work.
