Arom tho i'ittsburgh Dispatch, Sept. 18th, f6A
Very seldom do we read of in actuas
cas-. If recovery, where hope had alto
gcthtr been lost, to parallel that which
was Monday investigated by a Dispatch
reporter, who had heard in various quar-
ters persons talking to their friends OF q
cure, seemingly little short OF marvellous,
that had been performed. The plain facts
in the case referred to, without exaggera'
-,n, are these, as they were learned from
the mother of the young man, his pastor
and other persons well known in the com.
munity:
"William Lincoln Curtis is the name
Of the young man in question. He is now
employed at III. K. Porter g. Co.'S loco
motive works in Pittsburgh, Pa. A year
ago he resided with his mother on Grant
street. About that time he went to bed
one evening with 4 violent pain in hIs
shoulder, the result, he thought, Of a cold.
The next morning the shoulder was
greatly swollen, the pain was intense, and
aches were felt all through his system.
His case was speedily developed into Al
violent form of chronic rheumatism,
among the first notable features OF which
was the paralysis of his left arm.
"He gradually grew worse, and in a few
months the elbow and knee joints and
both ankles became enormously enlarged
In March last the cheek bones began to
enlarge, and upon his left side Particu'
larly, spreading his face out Of all resem,
blance to his former self. The pain IN ai'
his joints became intense fever, with 1t.
deteriorating effects, was now added, and
he became rapidly reduced to the semblanceo s
a skeleton, while vitality reached ie loves
possible condition, and his sufferings were Q.
such an indiscribabls character that those wns
most loved him sometimes thought II wonio y.
better If he was called away. AT TINS UNI
physicians well known in Pittsburgh informec
his parents that they could give no hopes "
recovery. ...
"The young man finally commenced taxing
that wonderful medicine, PEkuNA. In wv
weeks quite a change for the better, was per:
ceptible. In six weeks all the enlargement nag
been reduced com .letcly, while in spirits anu
strength the patient was quite aS well as hao
ever been in his life. Nearly three weeks 1so
he resumed work as 4 II achinist at his old piace'
able to perform as much labor as cverin hishi.;;
"The mother of Willie Curtis, in stating az
these facts, said Indeed, | can not LOOK upon
the cure much less than as a miracle. 40 ~

Judging from the returns in the
late election in Oregon, in which
the Democrats have carried that
State except for a member of Con
g1ess, by a handsome majority,
Cleveland has not quite killed the
Democracy yet.
Snch a turning the Government
over to the Republicans as was done
in that election would be a good
