good OF humanity is hailed with delight.
1t is the province OF newspapers to watch
for strange events or phenomena of any kind
and to Immediately investigate reported
case out Of the line of regular community
happenings. So when the story OF Mr..
George Hutchinson, OF Chelsea, Vt, and
how he had been raised from bed where he
lay stricken with a supposedly incurable dis
ease was told, the Argus and Patriot de-
tailed a reporter to look up the reported
facts OF the case, to whom Mr.. Hutchinson
made the following statement.

worker by trade, and forty years of age, and
for the past fifteen years have been working
in various sawmills in Vermont and Massa-
chusetts. Eight years ago I moved from
Bradford to Chelsea and bought the sawnill
of which I am now proprietor. I was In per-
feet health and known throughout Chelsea
and vicinity as one OF the strongest men or

1892, l was hurt by piece of flying board as
l was at work in the mill. After that, be-
gan slowly to lose my strength and became
incapacitated for work or effort Of anv kind.
The seat Of my trouble seemed to be my
back, but 1t gradually extended downward.
l consulted all the local physicians and was
treated by two of them, but the medicines
they administered were not OF the slightest
avail and did not check the disease in the
least. In fact. was miserable victim OF

to grow numb and to be less and less usable.
By the 18th of April I could absolutely do
nothing and was scracely able to stand My
physicians advised me to go to the Mary
Fletcher Hospital, at Burlington, to be
treated, and 1 took their advice When I
left home my friends bade me goodbye,
never expecting to see me alive again. The
physicians at the hospital told me that my
case was serious one, and l was complete
ly discouraged. l remained ut the hospital
seven weeks and took the medicines which
the doctors gave me. felt better at the hos.
pital and thought that I was recovering, and
went home to continue their treatment,
which l did for two months, and also had an
electric battery under their advice. The i'm
provement, however, did not continue. and
began to give up hope. August 1st, 1893, l

thought a trial could do no harm, so
bought some without telling anyone what I

sleep as well as ever did, and have no

gentlemen in regard to the case OF Mr.
Hutchinson. who is a we'll k own citizen OF
Chesea and Justice of the Peace, and they |
corroborated his statements as far as they |
were familiar with the case and stated that
he was known to be n reliable man, and any
statement he might make would be entitled
to entire credence.
