Yesterday Senator Watson heard in

bill to the House but had. at the request
of senator returned it to the Senate in
an Informal manner, after formally pre-
senting it to the House. He decided to

PARIS. Dec. 10.-The facts which have

long period, are not isolated instances,

other meaning that that ola cure achieved

cluded from the natural order of things
The therapeutic miracle can be defined,
and the laws which govern its genesis
and its evolution are beginning. from
more than one point of view, to be sufi-
GENTLY well known for the group of facts
which are embodied under this noun to
be presented in manner sufficiently pre-
else not to escape altogether from our ap-
probation. 1t is a matter for congratuia-
ton, too, that, owing to a clearer under
standing of It's poWeas, the great re-
sources of the faith cure are placed more
and more at our disposal, aud hence dis
ease fnds US even better armed to resist it,
Herein are contained the elements of
the definition which we are about to dis
cuss. Their grouping will lead US TO
conclusion which, for the matter of that,

cure produced directly by faith healing,

by the name OF miracle, - is, as may be

phenomenon which is produced at all
times, in the most different degrees of
clvllzation, and among the most various
religions, and is as irregular in its mani
festation as it is diffuse3 in latitude.
The so-called miraculous facts-I make
no pretense here to express anv new
opinion-have a double character. thew
are engendered by a special disposition
on the part of the patient; a conf

the other hand. the domain OF faith-heal-
ing is limited; to produce its effects it
must be applied to those cases which de-
mand for their cure no Intervention be-
yond the power which the mind has over
the body. No Intervention can make it
pass these bounds, for we are powerless
against natural laws. For example. no
instance can be found amongst the re-
cords sacred to so-called miraculous cures
where the faith-cure has availed to restore
an amputated limb. On the other hand
there are hundreds of recorded cases of

Moreover, do not speak without being
able to call my own personal experience
to witness. l have seen patients return

been sent tlIither with my consent, ow-
ing to my own inability to inspire the

amlned the limbs affected by paralysis or
contraction some time before. and have
seen the gradual disappearance of the To-
cal sensitive spots which almost always
remain Tor some time after the cure of

10 sum up, | believe that the faith cure
demands special subjects and special COM
plalnts-those, namely, which are amen
able to the influence of the mind over the
body, If it is to find ground to work upon.
Hysterical subjects offer mental condi-
ton favorable to the operation of the faith
cure, for they offer a field eminently re-
ceptlve OF suggestion; whether that sug-
gestlcn IS conveyed by external in
huences, or whether, as ii is more prob
able. they bring TO bear on themselves
the powerful force of auto-suggestion.
With these persons, male or female, the
influence of the mind over the
body is strong enough to produce
the cure of maladies which the lack OF
knowledge of their true nature. which
prevailed not so long ago. had caused
to be regarded as incurable. Such
are the 1acts about troubles of hys-
terlcaI origin which are beginning to
be understood-such things as muscular
atrophy, oedema and liberated tumorS.
When one hears talk OF the sudden cure
IN a shrine of az liberated cancer of the
breast, it Is permissible to recall the case
of Mdlle. Colrin or the facts quite recently
observed by DR.. Fowler.
Can we then affirm that we can explain
everything which claims to be of super
natural origin in the faith cure, and that
the frontiers of the miraculous are Wis bly,
shrinking day by day before the march of
scientific attainments? Certainly not. In
all investigation we have to learn the les

tain cases directly cause ulsers an tu-
mOrs to disappear, but believe also that
this group of LESSONS. in spite of the ap-
parent truth to the contrary, are of the
same nature and same essence as the pa
Ealysis of which ] was speaking just now.
The more or less sudden cure OF convul-
sicns and paralysis were formerly re-
garded as a therapeutic miracle of the
first water. Science having shown that
these ailments had hysterIcal origin
that is to say, that they are not organic.
but purely dynamic-the miraculous cure
in such cases became thing of the past.
So be i'll And if it be further proved that
these tumors and ulcers, round which
such controversy RACES, are also of a
hysterical nature, and that they are
amenable to this same faith cure as well
as paralysis and commissions, there VIII
be an end of the miracle theory. Why
should so much distrust be shown to-
wards science, which must in the long
run have the last word in every case?
1t is much simpler to allow that mirac-
ulouS therapeutics and science have gone
through a similar evolution. Between
religious and lay faith cures no distiction
can be made: the same working of the
brain produces in each case the same
effect. Science in the process of evolution
makes no pretense to solve every problem.
If it did it would stultify its own evolu-
ton. III oners an e4planablon, reason
able in proportion to its discoveries, and
that is all. In every case it is Zoe to
systematic negation which the morrow
may cause to melt away in the light OF its
new triumphs. / think that its evolution
has not Jagged behind that of a miracle:
for in every age the faith cure has been
able by its own unaided power to cause
tumors and ulcers of Z certain class to
disappear. In such case ignorance would
cling to a method OF he working of
which he had not grasped the secret.
Although we are still ignorant Of many
things, | maintain that we have today
made great progress in the direction OF
the scientific explanation of phenomena,

yet more or less remote, when the e7i-
