A MIRACULOUS CURE.
One of Father NIoIIinger's Patients Sees .
yision and is Healed.

NoRRIsTowN, Jan. 1S.-Michael Webb,
son of Town Councilman James Webb,
of Bridgeport, who has been subject to
epileptic fits for a number of years,
claims to have been cured by a vision of
the Virgin Mary, st. Anthony, st. Jo-
seph and Father Mollinger, of Allegheny,
on Tuesday evening just as he was en-
tering his fathers residence, Michael is
80 years old, and lives with his parents
across the river from here to Bridgeport.
Tonight he told the following story to a
reporter in the>presence of his father and
mother:
On the 18th of last March he and his
father went to Allegheny City to visit
Father Mollinger, priest who, they
had been told, had affected some
marvellous cures. They saw Father
Mollinger and stayed with him three
days. Father Mollinger gave Michael a
medical prescription and also prescribed
certain religious duties. Michael came
back, and for almost a year has been
praying for and hoping for the cure to
be effected.
On Tuesday, he says, he was going to
be cured that night, and when he went
home in the evening, Just before he en-
tered the house he claims ne saw heav-
emily vision, which told him he would be
permanently cured. He went into the
house and Immediately began to pray,
and then told his parents OF his alleged
experience. Michael, during the past
twelve years, has sometimes had three or
four of the falling fits in day, but not
always ON consecutive days. During this
time he worked industriously.
DR.. E. NJ. Corson, who for a long time
treated Webb for his affiiction, said with
regard to his malady, that he did not be-
lieve he could be cured permanently.
There is no sign in Webb's conduct of in
sanity other than in his excited manner
when talking of his experience. The doc
tor believes that his mind, being con-
stantly occupied with his atfiiction and
his eager desire to be cured, may have
become unsettled

THE GRAVE GETS TIRED YAWNING,
Seemingly, for certain wretched invalids
who toddle feebly along, though always
looking as if they were going to die, but
omitting to do it. They dry up, wither,
dwindle away finally, but in the mean
time never having robust health, know
nothing of the physical enjoyment, the
zest of that existence to which cling with
such remarkable tenacity. They are al
ways to be found trying to mend by tink-
ering at themselves with some trashy
remedy, tonic or 'pick me up" to give a
flip to digestion, or 'help the liver" If
such misguided folks would resort and
adhere to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters it
would be well with them. This SUI

the feeble require by a permanent
