DID FAITH CURE KILL HER /?

Deprivation of Brandy Said to Have
Rendered Diphtheria Fatal
The death from diphtheria Of Mrs.
Charles Nelson, of No. IS Cedar street,
Greenville, is a new illustration of the
harm that the Faith Cure fanatics arc
capable of.
She had been suffering for couple of
weeks from diphtheria of a malignant
type, which she contracted from her
children whom she nursed through dis
ease to health. When she fell
sick neighbers took charge Of
the children. DIR. Lignot prescribed
for her and through his treatment and
the watchful caresof her husband she was
ON the high road to recovery.
But, during the past week, she was
visited by members of Mt Zion Sanctu-
airy, and then the'change came. Her hus-
band was taken i'll from his devotion to
his wife. Then the faith curists got their
opportunity.
Among the other medicines prescribed
by the physician was brandy as stimu-
liant. Brandy is generally used in this
sickness as a guard against failure of
the heart and paralysis OF the mus
cles which almost invariably follow dip
liberia. Last Tuesday Nelson. who had
attended several of the Faith Curists'
meetings, asked Mrs. Ruton to call on
Father Hancock and ask him to come to
see him.
This she did, and Father Hancock and
Sister jackson called at the house. They
were not afraid of the disease, and went
to work at once to make the couple more
comfortable. a.
Every day since two members of the
Faith Curists have called at the house.
Mrs. Rllton says that both Nelson and his
wife have taken their medicine regularly
and the brandy also.
This is denied by others, who say that
the brandy was taken seldom or not at
all by the sick woman When DR.. Lignot
visited her at eleven o'clock Saturday
morning she seemed to be improving,
and he was astonished when he
heard that night that she was
dead. He made an examination aud
found that death had been caused Dy
paralysis of the heart. Mr.. Nelson was
alone in the room with his wife when
she died He says she sprang out Of bed
and ran around the room two or three
times, then fell dead at his feet.
1t is expected that the county physi-
clan will investigate the case.

that he and his colleagues did not expect

The Sixth precinct box of the Fourth
