During the past few months there have
appeared in the columns of the Standard the
particulars of a number of cures so remark
able as to justify the term miraculous.
These cases were investigated and vouched
for by the Albany Journal, the Detroit Nelrs,
Albany Express and other papers whose rep
| utation is guarantee that the facts were
as stated. Different schools of medicine
| and some of the brightest lights in the pro-
fessiOn had treated these cases, unsuccess-
| fully; and their recovery later on, there
| fore, and its means, have created aprofound
| sensation throughout the country.
! The Standard has published the above ac-
| counts for what they were worth, and are
| happily able to supplement same to-day by
an equally striking case near home. The
| case is over in Madison county, at Solsvilie,
and the subject is Mr.. Philander Hyde, who
