After Much Praying IA Young Lady's
Hip Disease Disappears.
SYRACUSE, April mabel Wood, of
this city, is the daughter of the late
Reuben Wood, who was known all over
the country as an authority on fish and
game. About year ago Made! fell from
hammock and hurt her hip. Doctors
here said that she could not recover in a
long time from the hip disease consequent
on the fall. She went to Holyoke, Mass,
to consult Der uncle, who is an eminent
physician. He directed her to wear a
splint on the affected limb, and a five
pound weight was also used on the foot
to keep the bones in place. Miss Wood,
on her return. was put under the medical
care OF Mrs h. J. HOlcombe, NJ. D., and
and DR.. +. w. Smith. She was confined
to her bed and was quite helpless.
Miss Olive Wood, Of James street, her
relative. had known n number OF remark
able cures effected through faith. In the
latter part of last November Miss Olive
Wood went TO Chicago and bore Miss
Mabel Woods case on her mind as a SUBJ
ject of prayer. Miss Mabel did not know
about this, but it was thought by her
family that she began toimprOve from the
date Of Miss Olives departure. Miss
Wood returned soon after and talked with
Miss Mabel on the subject of the faith
cure, and the patient became deeply
interested. DR.. Smith told her
at this time that she must
wear the splint and use crutches for a
number of weeks. Mr.. Woodwork, Of
Beach street, strong believer in the theo-
Ty OF healing by faith in the Lord, called
upon Miss Wood, prayed with her and
told her that it was wrong for her to use
the 0rutches instead Of leaving every
thing to the Lord. Mabel threw away
her crutches and experienced no pain or
weakness when she walked. Two weeks
after acting upon Mr. Woodworth's ad-
vice Miss Wood a~t0nished her friends by
going TO the First Baptist Church, walk
ing 10 and from the horse cars. She now
walks all abOur the house and takes short
walks in the neighbOrh0Od.
DR.. +. W. Smith said thar Miss Wood
had hip disease, and that when he first
saw the case ne thought that 1t was cura-
BILE, and that when he abandoned it in
January he was convinced that Miss
Wood was out Of danger and was on the
way 10 recovery.
