Remarkable Cures Of Chronic
Diseases.

From the Richmond, Ind. Telegram.
We are decidedly averse to ciring credit to
statements that are in direct opposition to the
general experience, and especially touching she
matter Of healing the sick, where the field for
humbug and imposition is so wide and where ruch
ssd consequences are likely to result from the EN-
ploying OF Ignorant and reckless cuacks in the
treatment OF diseases that arc threatening to des-
troy life. But is is incumbent on5us 90 give the
strctest heed to the facts that are passing that We
may be able to determine what is the true system
of healing the sick. and to distinguish vino the
quacks and who are real physicians.
In accordance with these considerations. we
visited the rooms of DR.. Higgins, at the Hunting
ton House, during the past week, observed his
method OF treating diseases withou. the use OF
medicines, and must acknowledge that. We were
decidedly as.onshed at what VIC there witnessed.
A young man came in from Darkc County, Ohio
who had lost the use of his leg, from. the hip
down, some four years age, the flesh being almost
entirely shrunk away leaving the limb very little
larger than the bone itself In other respects the
young man apparently in perfect health. But
he was totayunablo TO lift his left foot off Of the
floor. He Submitted TO DR.. Higgins treatment,
in our presence, which lasted probably twenty
minutes and at the end oft that time the patient
able to lift his foot into n chair, with apparent
ly little difficulty.
Another still more remarkable cure was
performed by Or. III. in case Of Mr.. John Elderkin.
man seventy seven years OF age, and who Is we'll
known by nearly every resident oftllis city. Mr..
Elderhin has suffered constantly for many years
with a peculiar disease Of the bladder. which com
PEELED him to arise from his bed twenty or thirty
times during the night, and even in the day time
the difficulty from this cause was not less annoy
ing. He had tried the medicines Of many of the
best physicians without Obtaining relief. When
DR.. Higgins came to this city two weeks since, he
determined TO seek a cure at his hands The re-
suit was, he obtained immediate and perfect relief
He now sleeps soundy, is able to attend to his
bnsncss-that Of dray man--as well as he ever did
in his life, and i'm conversation in Office yes
terday, he said he felt every way as strong and ac
tive as at at any time during the last twenty five
years. 1t must be acknowledged that this is an
extraordinary cure, especially when We consider
the age Of the patient sf'o
DIR. Higgins has treated many other cascs since
his sojourn in this city with remarkable success
rs either OF the two cases we have narrated We
may mention the case of VIM Pitchclrs little
daughter, only five years old, afflicted with a severe
pain in the right hip She had totally lost The use
OF tho limb.. IL gave her SO much psin that she
could not sleep OF ghts, aud the family were worn
out watching with her The physician attending
was discouraged. When DIR. Higgins was called
the pain was gone instantly end in four s-she
was walking about the house.
e Another remarkable cure is that Of Daniel Kits
lcman, the Toll Gate keeper on the Hlllsborp
Pike. Mr.. X. has been afflicted with the Shaking
Palsy for ten years, and was lately growing worse
very fast. The Doctors treatment nearly cured
him in four treatments.

operations. t-....t. ,,;,,....,,,,i, ~ =.
