NaA, Mr.. Judd has been connected

R,iOan Express company here for
nsatly twenty nine years, and is well
knd lagorably known. The story as told
NJ Miss Judd, who is an intelligent lady
Dfnear tVenty.one years, and substanti-
ated by her father and Mrs, Hambleton,
hSf nurse, is as follows!
RFor some time prior to January, 1877
aGihs Judd fell into decline. On Jan.
6th, 1877, she was prostrated by vio'
lentattack Of nervous fever, having its
origin, it was supposed, in the spine,
which had been injured by fall on a
A stone sidewalk. She grew worse, the
disease taking on a settled spinal diff
culty, which was accompanied by hyper
sthesia of the spine, hips, knees and
ankles. In q short time those parts of
her body became 80 sensitive that she
could not even bear her own hand upon
them, and means had to be devised to
lift the weight of even the bed clothes
upon her. The spinal nerves and those
Of the large joints were 30 unnaturally
alive that they seemed to be bare, and
the slightest noise or jar in the room
made them vibrate The pain in her
head YVES acute, and the aching of the
evelds was so intense that for hours she
could not open them. She had to be
kept in a darkened room, for a ray of
light could not be endured, so sensitive
had her eyes become. Her hearing was
unnaturally acute, and great care had to
be taken to prevent rude sounds from
falling on her sensitive nerves. No per
son was permitted to be in the room ex'
eept the nurse and other members of the
snaily, whose attentions were absolutely

This state of things continued until
Miss Judd became SO weak that she

self in any way. For over eleven months
she was unable to cit mp single mo-
ment. During all that time she was un-
der the care of DIR. Hnxsie, one of the
most popular homeopathic practitioners
in the city. After the eleven months of
struggling almost between life and death,
she began to improve, and in the follow
ing summer was able to sit up for short
time every day. She was yet unable to
help herself, and in being taken from her
bed, the servants had to place their hands
under her arms, for she could not bear
any pressure whatever upon her body.
At the time she was gaining very slowly
the weather was very hot, which, in ad-
dition to the great effort she made to
help herself, threw her into relapse, and
she again grew worse. This violent re.
newal of the old trouble continued all
that fall and winter until last spring,
when she was so far reduced she could
hardly whisper
During all these weary months all the
ingenuity of the best physicians could
devise was done for the patient little
sufferer, but to no avail. DR.. Davis of
Attica, well-known physician, tried his
skill, but failed. DR.. Baething of this
city also attended the case with like
result. Then DR.. Lon See On, Chinese
physician, educated in his own country,
was called. He is a gifted man, and
treated the case, but failed to do good.
About So 900 had been paid out by Mr..
Judd; the daughter was slowly failing,
and they we're almost discouraged. She
got 30 weak she could only move her
lips.
About this time Mr. Judd read para.
graph in the Buffalo Courier, copied
from the Springfield Republican, where.
in a Colored woman, Mrs. Edward Mix
Of Wolcottville, Conn, was credited with
having effected some wonderful cures by
power of faith and prayer alone,
Mr. Judd managed to make the patient
understand, and at her request her sis.
ter Eva, twelve years of age, wrote to
Mrs. Mix that the sick girl believed that
Mrs. Mix's great faith might avail for her
