similar case. The ex-sheriff consented
and shortly after the departure OF the
attending physician Mr.. Myers arrived
and found the patient In a most help

but again objected. alleging that the
slightest movement caused him ex.
cruciating agony. Yielding to the per-
susion he raised his arm. and for the
FIRST time In several days experienced
no difficulty In 50 doing. Dumbfounded
by the sudden change he had under
gone. he gracefully obeyed the further
commands Of Mr.. Myers until the lat
ter directed him to rise from his bed
and don his clothes. That was more
than he dared attempt until repeatedly
assured that he might do SO without
the slightest risk.
After this last command had been
obeyed, and Mr.. Peeling was dressing.
MIR. Myers left the house TO return TO
his home by one of the coaches which
run here in the absence of street cars.
While he was waiting for the coach
Mr.. Peeling walked out into the yard
and stood with HIM at the gate until
the conveyance arrived. Neighbors
and friends. who had believed the ex.
sheriff almost on the verge of the
grave, were amazed, and to assure
themselves that he was present in the
flesh hastened to grasp his hand and
made him relate his remarkable ex-
perience.
The report of Mr.. Feelings restora-

quently aseertaned that the treatment
alluded TO by the doctor had not been
tried and. therefore, had nothing TO dc
with the case.
His success in raising a well-knowr
citizen from helplessness to strength
made Mr. Myers famous in day, and
the lame, the halt and the blind. have
since besieged him with appeals for 9
touch of his magic hand. Stories Of
other cures as remarkable as that OF
Mr.. Peeling and as well authenticated
have been related; but 1t would only
use space of repetitions TO erumerat,
them. 1t is just to Mr.. Myers TO say
that he does not profess to be endowed
with any supernatural gift. He use'
no incarnation and works his miracle,
without precisely knowing how he doe
it. Persons who are not humbuggct
by the ordinary broucheu or pow-wow
doctor, admit that Mr.. Myers has &C

credulous, without being superstitioas
