REMARKABLE CURES.
Mr.. Jacobs then related a number of as
toniShing cures. In one case Martin James.
farmer, had a severe case of nose bleed
ing. 1t lasted so long and e hemorrhages
were so free that his life was despaired of.
As Mr.. Jacobs did not know the man. he
had to go to his house. He walked in
quietly, sat down by the sufferers bedside.
and the bleeding gradually ceased This
was In 1862 MIR. James was frequently
subject to this trouble before, but ne has
not had recurrence of the malady since.
Another astonishing cure was that of a
colored boy in Jacksonville a few years
since IL was also case of nasal hem
orrhage. The boy was entirely helpless,
aud the only way the physicians could help
HIM was by putting ics on the back of his
neck, and this caused him to have chills.
Mr.. Jacobs heard of the case and went Co
the house. He stated his errand and told
the boys mother to take away the bow
into which the blood was draining and re-
move cloth which had bean placed under
the boys head to protect the bed clothing.
The astonishei and incredulous woman
finally did what she was told. The bleeding
stopped Mt once.
George Thompson a well-known store
keeper here, furnished, perhaps. the most
striking illustration of Mr. Jacobs power.
This man was taken suddenly ill, with vic
lent hemorrhageS accOmp inying his sick
ness. Some friends appealed to Mr.. JAG IBIS
after the doctors had exhausted their skill.
He assented, but told them to go home.
When they arrived at the house the bleed
ing had stopped. Some days later it broke
out afrash, and Mr.. Jacobs was sent for
he found Thompson in dangerous condi
ton, threatened with congestion and bleed
ing very freely. Mr.. Jacobs stopped the
flow Immediately, and the patint soon re.
covered. He died year or 50 ago, but OF
liver complaint. The first time Mr.. Jacobs
was mite and a half away, but he stopped
the flow as already stated.
THE LATEST INSTANCE.
One day last week young man, George
Cremer, cut himself In the arm at the O aiO
Falls Car Works, where he was employed.
The blood spurted out in a stream and all
efforts to stop 1t see ned unavailing Mr.
Jacobs happened to bs passing, and seeing
the bleeding man asked him if he would
| not like to have the flow stanched. Cremel
replied that he would, of course, and in {
few minutes the hemorrhage had ceased
The man at first laughed, and in short
time resumed his work This caused the

the blood began to flow. In terror he
