DAYS. He remained in his house all morn

little ones mouth, and she has never ap-
peared to hear any noise that was made near
her. After being unsuccessful with the
treatment of several skilled physicians of
Cincinnati, Mrs Broman, who is not a
Catholic, was prevailed upon by her friends
to bring the little girl here for treatment.
CH1LD's SPEECH REsoTRED.
Five days ago the little girl was unable to
make any verbal noise, and yesterday the
people in the boarding house heard the lit
tie one making a noise as if trying to ex-
press something. Of course, the child could
not talk, as she was only in her second year
when the disease came upon her, but she
made sounds with her voice that the
mother claimed not to have heard
from the little one for two years.
The little girl also gave signs
that she again possessed the sense of hear

looked at it in an amazed manner. Mrs.
Broman firmly believes that the child was
cured through the influences of Father

Yesterday she was taught to call for her
mamma, and evinced other signs that the
power of speech and hearing was restored to
her.

frmed the lady's statement in every par
ticulal.
Mr.. j. R. Corey, of Baltimore, an insur-

the cure The best surgeons had given up
all hope of ever making his limbs of any
use to him. He had heard of the wonderful
healing powers of Father Mollinger, and at
first was skeptical as to whether the venera-
BILE priest could cure him. He is now fully
convinced, and is willing to bear testimony
to the wonderful work.

MANY SIMILAR CASES.
These were only few OF the cures effected
and reported. Blind people, those who were
incapacitated from walking and people who
were bereft of their reason have been re
