Char.es Warren, il letter from Italy,

ID women II Italy, Regina del Gin, whose
=la-~slgu= s1Cces-es in the setting OF dislo-
cations Of long standing have made her
famous even beyOnd the seas. You can
read % her in the standard works On sur

N instructive knowledge OF anatomy, lives
n a handsome villa abou; twelve miles dis
ant. She Is sought by people from all
-arJs Of the world. aad though she some

~; a rival. ! had been recommended to visit
rs.gsna. as she j. called in this neighbor-
hood. to rec j. she could not regulate an
arm that has troubled me somewhat since
an ACCIDENT ] me; with q year ago near
Eome. a maid held the door open a.
approached the villa, and | was 81 once
;l-hered into q small drawing-TOOm taste
fully furnished. She eHtered-a very plain
woman OF forty o. more: short stout, uH-
,idily dressed. The lower hooks Of her
--aist were bUrsled. and there was nothing
attractive in her personal appearance. Two
Il her front teeth were gone, her hair was
rolled into small wad at the top OF her
read, long gold eardrops dangled upon her
shoulders, and about her neck she wore a
massive gold chain. We proceeded at
Jnce 10 business. She stripped my arm to
he shoulder, touched it lightly here and
there with a touch that was exceedingly
agreeable Her examination in nv case
was 20 slight, the questions she asked 80
few, yet her comprehension OF my condition
- complete, that ! strongly suspected the
lady OF being a clairvoyant. She lays no
claim 10 any such gilt was born with the
genius for bone setting, which she is con
tinually exercising, uses the simplest posi-
BILE remedies, and in all cases performs her
operations without giving any pain whatso-
ever. | had proof enough OF her marvellous
skill. In the hall saw a heap OF clutches,
braces and traps, iron stills and other hor-
rible aids such as cripples are forced
o seek. These were left at the villa
~ sufferers who had found complete relief
index her roof, and many of them bore
touching inscriptions in token Of gratitude
and affection and as voluntary test .mOny
% her skill. There was one steel shoe
wiih a sole at least loot in thickness.
Knowing me to be an American, she called
nv attention to an inscription on it. i
'0und that gentleman from New York
city had left it, certifying that he had
been 'ciIred Of a disIocation of the hip, OF
seventeen years standing, instantly and
without pain" 1t is her custom to ask no
lee for her services. You pay according TO
your means. Those who desire ii, and for
whom it is necessary, lodge in the house
and receive her co lstant attention. She
saws at once whether she wall or not at
tempt q cure. The good woman, after
much persuasion, consented to give me her
autograph. Ny conscience smOIe me for
urging her when | saw the great beads OF
sweat starting ont on her forehead rs she
bowed over her pocket album and wrestled
I.ith her zen. Her signature is a unhand'
some as Possible, and under the circum-
s,ances / don't wonder that she has never
attempted 10 write anything else. When
it was time for me TO leave her ! hated TO
go; her atmosphere Is wholesome and
streng thening her home beautiful and
iuli of peace
