A MIRACULOUS WAY.
Seeming Miracles in the Cure of Most
Desperate Cases.

On the second OF laSJ december Pro
fessor Townsend published in the Boston
! Daily Journal lengthy article. which has
since been noted by many of our most crit,
cal papers. upon the treatment and cure of
! chronic diseases by a Boston physician
| which suggests the miracles of 1900 years
| ago more than anything which has ever APP
peared in modern print. In this article he
said:
about thirteen years ago the country
was startled by the sudden prostration,
under shock of paralysis, of the president
| of the Pennsylvania railroad. Everything
| was done for this great railroad magnate.
| The specialists OF Philadelphia and New
| York tried their skill. In despair he went
| TO Europe. and by the best physicians in
Englanc and upon the continent was treated.
He returned to America worse than when
he left. unaCle to walk, to use mis- left hand,
or to talk. AT the earnest solicitation of a
director of his road, John NJ. Kennedy, he
sent for prominent specialist a young
physician who was attracting great atteu-
ton, and curing people every DAY without
medicine, and in way which many claimed
was miraculous
After "a few minutes conversation the
doctor said, ss''YdUr hand is better sir;
your arm is stronger; raise it up" To the
surprise of every org this dead, paralyze1
arm was raised via ease. Now, shut
your hand" He didn4pd for the first time
in two years. 'sYouSSeel better, now"
said the doctor. but his Estient only pointed
to his mouth signifying Nat it was hard to
talk. ''You can talk; spea&, out, was the
doctors quick reply. WheNfrom his lips
the distinct words came, 'Yes l feel bet
ter.n ssNow walk" said the+doctor, and
he did so without any diiIicultySzThis i'm
pro vement continued, and thoughSthe cure
was made, the doctor would never Soy how

of love and wealth could do, but he grew
rapidly worse. After three consultations |
by several noted physicians, the familyk
were advised that nothing could save him

seriousness. In his desperation, and as
last resort, the father telegraphed for liz
physician; he fastened with all speed#b
