faith cure. He was suffering from nose
bleeding when at first attacked, but fin
ally was so reduced from the loss of

panied him much, and all who were
about him save his mother were anxious
that doctor should be called. Mrs.
Chamberlin, however refused, saying
that she had fs in the Great Physi-

summon the coroner in the morning TO
hold an inquest over the remains of her
son. Mrs. Chamberlin, however, con-
tinued in prayer, and in the morning
when people came the son had recover

The Commissioners have written a letter

Committee, suggesting an amendment to
the bill before the Senate providing for the
recovery OF damages in case Of death.
The Commissioners think the third section,
which provides that no debts of the de-
ceased can be recovered from the sum al
lowed should be modified so that II the de-
ceased left no family, liabilities incurred
for nursing aud medical treatment and
certain other things should be paid, rather
than giving the money to distant relatives.
They also suggest that tho time in which
the suits shall be brought be changed from
. TO year because the defendant is at a
disadvantage to make defense . years af-
ter the accident happens They also ask If
it would not be right in the case off per-
sons being killed, one of whom had iusur-
ance Of $4,000 on his life, whether the in
suraDce should not be excluded from the
consideration Of the jury in estimating the
damage caused by death.
