AcLEAR CASE OF cLARvoYANr SIGHT

Dear Madam Permit me to tender you my sin.
cere thanks for the cure you have effected on my
child. My daughter ten years old, was taken sick
last January in q very singular manner. We call.
ell in six of the best physicians in the city; they
said the case was very singular one-theY never
saw one like it-and came 10 the conclusion that
they could not tell what the disease was Some
friends advised that We should call on a Claryoy-
ant; there being none in Providence that we could
rely on, we wrote TO Mrs Manchester In Portland,
describing her symptoms. She Immediately ex.
amncd her case and told that she had a snake in
her stomach, told where she drank it and that It
had been growing, and from the best OF her judg.
ment should Think it WAS ten or twelve inches
long. / gave the child her prescription and in a
lew hours the child elected the snake alive from her
stomach; il was measured and found To be eleven
and a-half inches long. We have II preserved
that all may for themselves that this statement
is really so. ! am confident that the child could
not have lived had It not been for Mrs. Manches.
ter, and we feel rs though she never could be re-
paid for her skill. MARY RAY,
