Editors c1' tie 1Age,-Sirs i deem
it duty incumbent upon me to report
for your readers, should you think them
sufficiently interesting, two very re-
markabie--to me-cures Of a healing
medium, that came Immediately under
M observation. And while | wish iii
my relation | could state all the minu-
tln-every particular as presented to
me and many other witnesscs-which
could be the better appreciated, I must
be content, on account Of the space it
would occupy, to give but meagre
outline.
Mrs. Nelly Triple, healing medium,
came down from Chicago to Lafayette,
III January last. AS she was the first
one who had come within my reach
since my investigation in Spiritualism,
and as | was myself engaged in the
practice Of medicine and skeptical as
l. the many sudden cares reported III
spiritual papers, ! determined to make
II IN especial business to enquire into
the matter, aul sent for her. [ had Il
patient :or the ,nsccn pagers, that
thought would dampcn their ardor, the
first visit Mrs. 7. came, and now for
a condensed statement of the condition
Of my patient.
Mrs. g., the mother of three Child
rem, (had lost three by miscarria2e),
was seized with epilcptic fits nine years
ago, few weeks after the birth Of her
Oldest child. She has never been three
months free from these attacks until
this last sickness. She has frequently
been confined to her bed during her
entire CESSATION, having those parox-
ysms every day, sometimes ten or
twelve per day-the longest interval
being three days. She travelled from
city to city, giving many of our most
distinguished physicians fair trial OF
their skill i'll effecting corresponding
agood home in 50 doing. Prof Gross,
of Louisville, after alengthy treatment,
declared his opinion, that she might de-
s!st from further treatment, that she
never could be ctrcd-that the fits
might leave her at the turn of life
Last November, the fits increased
came every day-at least there was;
not on an average more than one day
IN the week that she cscaDel-frcGuont-
lv had eight and ten ii u ;lay. About
the first Of January had u miscarriage

with quick pulse, loss Of appetite, bow

diagnosis and that of two other phvsi-
clans, and three or four attacks Of cpl
lepsy daily.

exhausted my skill and the advice of
others in n months effort to relieve
her, and the first of February found
her worse instead Of better. lost al
faith in medicine: had bIistered and
euppcd and decentralization heroic
remodies-gave the whole routine OF
allopatyic prescri ptions Such was my
case for the medium and her spirits.
She visited her on Monday, Feb. Ist,
at o'clock p. NJ. The patient had
two fits the same morning. | witacsS-
ed the first nanipulation-it acted like
~ anaaVGe. The patient was skcp-
tic, catching at n straw for life; she
was IN Intelligent woman, and seemed
much pleased with the effect produced.

morning; had had no fit for twenty
tour hours slept well swelling con
siderably abatcd. She was pathetized
again, and went to sleep under it, |
should have said that 4 great trouble
tor weeks had been waketulness.
To be rief:-On the third day she
sat up i'll bed, combed her own hair,
and took freely Of nourishmant the
abdominal inflammation. according to
my best Judgment, had entirely subsid-
ed. The medium visited her and pa
thetized her iii eight days eight times
On Thursday of the week following
her first visit, Mrs G. took her two
children and went to her relatives in
Michigan, by railroad, feeble and pale
but feeling quite well, and at this mo.
mcnt is in good health and flesh, not
having had one TT since the first laying
on Of hands by the medium.

treatment. Mrs. Triple gave no med
icine, save 4 light Ssonachic and mild
tonic the last few days This state
nont can be corroborated by rs many
witnesses as may be required, and
names of parties, II any doubt it.
In my next [ will give you an &C.
court Of my own child and the (Seem-
mgly) miraculous manner in which its
life was saved by Mrs. Triple.
