Interview with Samuel Seem.
From Easten Daily Express.
Samuel Seem, gentleman living at lab
South Fourth street, Easton, was interviewed
by one of our representatives. Mr.. Seem is a
man sixty-five years of age, has been largely
identified with the slate interests, has lived in
Easton for the last seventeen years, but has
been known here nearly all his life. Lately
he has retired from business. Upon being
questioned about the recent recovery of his
physical health, he replied that he had never
been sick in his life until he was attacked
with the smallpox about ten years ago, from
which he fully recovered. However, in 1885,
he suffered with carbuncles on the back of the
neck at the base of the brain. He continued: 81

my room and remained there for some time,
when l improved again, but there was gen.

during the entire time. l was obliged to lie

to move around the room by the help OF canes;

| too short, and 1 was only able to get about
| with the utmost difficulty and was compelled
| to use my canes again. l consulted with
| distinguished specialist about this time, who
told me that all my troubles were the result OF
| the carbuncles and that also my kidneys and
| liver were affected, and that l ought to be
treated for them. But friend Of mine, who
saw me trudging along the street spoke to me
| of DR.. Brown and his wonderful cures. He
| told me how he had treated Mr.. Fuller, at
| Slattington, who had been prostrated with
| paralysis two years and half. Mr.. Fuller's
| case, he said, had been pronounced incurable
| by some of the best physicians of Philadelphia
| and elsewhere, and that Dr. Brown, by the
laying on of hands, had him out of bed
and able to walk about in short time.
| All this made a great impression on me
though it seemed Incredible, and 1 had no
idea of being treated by him. spoke to my

saw notice about him in the Daily Express.

He then treated me by the laying on Of hands
