RAILROAD PRESIDENT CURED IN A
MIRACULOUS WAY.
Seeming Miracles In the Care OF Most
Desperate Cases.
lBOsron Letter in an Eastern Exchanged

a lengthy article which has since been
noted by many of our most critical papers,
upon the treatment and cure Of chronic
diseases by Boston physician which sug-
gestes the miracles OF eighteen hundred
years ago more than ANYTHING which has
ever appeared in modern print. In this
article he said
about thirteen years ago the country
was startled by the sudden prostration,
under n shock of paralysis, of the president
of the Pennsylvania railroad. Everything
was done for this great railroad magnet
The specialists of Philadelphia and New
York tried their skill, In despair. he went
to Europe, and by the best physicians in
England and upon the continent was
treated. He returned to America worse
than when he left, unable TO walk. to uses
his left hand or to talk At the earnest
solicitation of director of his road, John
NJ. Kennedy, he sent for prominent
specialist, young physician who was at
tracing great attention and curing people
every day without medicine, and in a
way which many claimedwas miraculous.
After few minutes conversation the
doctor said: "Your hand is better, sir;
your arm is stronger; raise it up" To the
arm was raised with ease. Now. shut
your hand" He did, and for the first
time in two years. You feel better, now"
said the doctor, but his patient only
pointed to his mouth, signifying that it
was hard 10 talk. Yes, you can talk;
speak out" was the doctors quick reply.
When from his lips the distinct words
came, eyes, feel better" Now walk"
said the doctor, and he did so without any
difficulty. This improvement continued,
and though the cure was made, the doctor
would never say how he did it.
The ten-year- old son of Byron Wood
ward, a prominent Philadelphia lawyer,
was stricken down with spinal meningitis;
everything was done for him that the
hands of love and wealth could
do, but he grew rapidly worse.
After three consultations by several
noted physicians, the family were advised
that nothing could save him. that he was
dying, that he was in deaths stupOr, and
would never return to consciousness. In
his desperation, and as a last resort, the
father telegraphed for this physician; he
fastened with all speed to the sick house.
Don't cry" said the doctor to the mother;
don't say your boy must die, will stand
between him and DEATH and, though gasp
ing in the chill and gloom OF the grave, /
srear TO you, that for yOur sake, by the polCer
Of faith, by The pO1Cer Of mind, il the name OF
everything hats good, your bog shall lire"
Then, placing his hand on the boys head
for few minutes, he turned to the father
and said: Your son is
Out of Danger"
In less than twenty minutes the boy was
sitting up, asking for something to eat, and
in less than one hour the doctor was
Fastening 10 his home. The boy was per-
manently cured.
On Saturday, the 24th of last October, a
gentleman living q few miles out of the
city, retired Boston business man, called
upon this physician to visit his wife, who
was dying. l will let the husband tell his
story. There is something very strange
| about this Christian or mental science. i
that's what it is, " said the old man, as his
tall Virginia form stood erect in front of
blazing fire. "You see, my wife had been
sick the better part of the time for three
years with nervous prostration. She has
quite mite to worry her and, take it all
together, il was more than che could
stand About eleven weeks before /
called this doctor she was taken down with
the fever; our physician attended her
with great care, but nothing helped her.
She was burning by day and night with
an intense fire. The last eight or ten DAYS
her stomach gave out; she could retain
nothing that was given her except cracked
ice, and for
Ice! Ice! Icsl
She was calling every few minutes; che

that is what want.
"Well, wasted no time in getting Dr.

what she wants She did rapidly recover
her flesh and strength, and is today per-
