POSSESSED OF A DEVIL.
A Modern Instance Of Casting Out the
Eiends IN hi. City.

In ancient times the power Of casting
out devils was exercised only by holy men.
and their performances in this line were
considered 70 he miracles. In these mod
ern days of scientific research is the
learned physician who performs these re-
markable feats. And yet so skeptical has
the world become that ii distrusts the evil
dence Of its own senses. and whereas in
those early days the working Of miracle
became matter of world wide renown, in
these practical times only he who is bene-
fitted by the deed appreciates to any extent
the wonderful thing Of being freed from a
torturing devil. One Of these grateful
beings, however, was seen last night, as
he was leaving the city for his home after
| n successful course of treatment for the
morphine habit by the German Remedy
Company. whose offices are on the third
floor OF the Occidental block. Several
years ago became addicted to the use OF
the drug" said he, land the habit became
