Rgr Bayard Taylor, in one of lis re-
cent letters from Hindostan, relates the
following account of cure effected by q
new agent. 1t may be well for the med
ical profession to look into it. He says:
"On getting into the cart, at the last
station before reaching Khurdee, the step
broke, and as [ fell my knee struck upon
a projecting bolt, causing such intense
pain as almost to deprive me of my SEN
ses. BY the time we halted again the
the joint was so stiff that | could scarcely
bend it. The hurt produced such a chill
ness that my teeth chattered, and | was
fain to sit in the sun while breakfast was
preparing. The morning was scorching
hot, and [ soon noticed that the heat
seemed to draw out the pain from the in
iured limb. In fact in half an hour
was able to get up as usual, and since
then have not felt the slightest inconyeni
once from the injury. This is a case Of
sun cure, which | recommended to any
who is anxious to start new system oi
healing"
