Ia, says; "The publication last week OF
an account Of the restoration OF ex-Sher-
III Pcelin! from condition of helpless
ness to apparent strength and vgor by
Edmund b. Myers, OF this city, has at
tracled the attention of Il arge number
Of persons who have suffered from
various causes which have
banicd the skill of the legitimate
physician. AS consequence, MIR. Myers
has been overwlelmel wi h applications
for relief. Among the number whose, at
teniion was directed to The potency of
Mr.. Myers touch was Mr.. JImes Ken
needy, whose home Is at No. l424
Nor Eighteenth street, Philadel-
phia. MIR. Kennedy arrived In this
city from Philadelphia last evening.
When first seen, his condition was so pitt.
abe as to provoke the sympathy of every
beholder. With heavy cane in each
hand, he hobb!ed along IN painful man-
ner that could hardly be called walking.
Immediately upon arrival he inquired
and sought confirmation If the
report published. For more than nine
years, MIR. Kennedy has been crippled by
what emine It physicians OF Philadelphia
pronounced sciatica, aud for which tn y
had applied ali the known remedies, with
out avail. Finding that The trea ment of
the doctors afforded him no substantial
relief, Mr. Kennedy tried, in turn, every
thing which appeared to present a
promise OF alternating his sufferlngs, not
forgetting Hot Springs, ARK, at which
place he recently stent three months,
during which time he gave the far-famed
baths the most thorough test.
The effect was dish artening, and the
I sufferer returned TO his home In Phila-
delpha. Upon reaching this city and
that the published account OF Mr.. Peel
ing's case confined no misstatemeDt OF
the facts, be summoned MI Myers to his
hotel. That mysteriously gifted gentleman
arrived at late hour last evening, but
stated that he was omp eteiy exhausted
from the effects OF full days hard travel
to visit patients In various parts Of the
county, that he could not then give Mr..
Kennedy's case the attention it requires!
but made an appointment for seven
O'Clock this morning. At the hour named
Mr.. Myers visited Kennedy at his room
In the Ce tral Hotel. BY invitation your
correspondent was present. Mr.. Myers
began by making number OF inquiries
OF his patient. After satisfying himself
in regard to the nature of the trouble, Mr..

markable only for
ITS SIMPLICITY.
After making a few delicate passes, or
more properly speaking, iubs over the
afflicted parts, the operator placed one
hand upon the patients forehead, aud the
other upon the back Of his head. This
was continued for few minutes and
then the operator said jocularly, but with
an assurance which was indicative OF his
own confder ce: al must now say, in
the language OF the Scripture, take up
thy bed and walk"
Mr.. Kennedy obeyed, hesitatingly, at
first, but IN re boldly VIII ne discovered
that the task was not difficult. Marvel
Gus as 1t may appear, 1t is nevertheless a
fact that man who was yesterday, ana
has been for years, helpless Grippe;
who laborcd painfully along, with half
paralyzed and useless limbs, to-day walk.

| the Central Lotel with the vigor and
bIoyancy oil youth and without per-
ceptible halt in his gait. Whether this
result will be permanent or the transitory
r sui of excitement or mesmeric In
fluence, time will tell. Mr.. Kennedyjubi-
lantly relates the details of his case
to every inquirer. Taking his two canes
he hobbies along spyl &: "This is how
l walked yesterday with two canes"
Then, putting down one of the sticks, ne
demonstrates with the other how diff
cult locomotion was with that Sigh help.
Then he strides firmly up and down the
long room, kicking playfully at different
obi cts and swinging his cane In the air
Us though that article was purely an orna-
mental part of his makeup.
