The sun correspondent has investigated
this case, and has the word of both pa

trouble, and they cannot be thankful
enough for the relief.

There are stories abroad of defective
vision and hearing restored ws.5re the
words of the patients must be taken for
the fact of improved hearing or vision.
Cases without number of rheumatism

health might be cited. No one perma-

been restored to hearing. No consump-
tive patient has sound lungs as the result
of the Sehlatter treatment. 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful IL any chronic case of
absolute certainty has been permanent
ly cured by this healer. There always
remains doubt.
But one fact has certainly been estab-
lished. The healer has been the means of
relieving distress, pain, suffering, wheth--
er of a diseased imagination or of abso-
lutte physical disorder. Not all who go
to him, however are cured.
Here is a case. the facts of which have
all come under the personal observation
of the Sun correspondent, and every state
ment can be vouched for as true. A maid
en- woman of probably IS years, the
daughter of a Vermont physician. of high
ly cultured family and superior education
has been an invalid in Denver for two
years. She was such an invalid that her
many friends thought that relief was
practically hopeless Her chief trouble
seemed TO be the failure of the heart to
perform it's functions properly, resulting
in most distressful weakness at times, the
stomach absolutely refusing nourishment,
the ewes falling, arms practically useless,
the whole system very weak. For more
than two years this patient has not been
able to use her eyes to read. The best oc-
ulists of Chicago and Denver have studied
her eyes again and again, but nothing
brought strength of vision sufficient for
her to read. She could not walk any dis
lance; climbing stairs was a most painful
effort. to stoop over to pick up anything
from the floor has been for months al
most an impossibility. She had remarka-
BILE will power. She appeared hopeful
enough to the physicians and her friends
but all treatments alike failed to restore
circulation to a normal condition. For
days she took no food A little water
would be taken without pain. but the mo-
mont that a bit of solid food entered the
stomach intense distress followed and the
heart ceased to beat for what seemed a
long time. A trained nurse was in con-
slant attendance upon this patient and
the physicians skill was taxed to find a
treatment that would benefit her.
On Sept. %, the patient consented to try
the effects of a carriage ride in the sun
light. That day not a morsel of food had
been taken. Assisted to an easy-riding
phaeton she suffered no distress on the
asphalt streets, but as soon as rough roads
were reached her heart ceased to beat
properly, and her condition was most pitt
full. In this condition. being near the Fox
residence, ii was suggested that she try
Schlatter for relief. When the place was
reached. il was evident to the bystanders
that the patient was very ILL., and word
was quickly passed to Schiatter. who slip
ped through the fence and FASTENED to
her side. Taking her hands in his he held
them for a long time, probably six or
eight minutes. Speaking afterward of her
sensations the woman said:
"An looked black to me and / saw no
hope. When he took my hands / felt that
something strange was happening. Sud
denly l felt very sharp pain in my right
side, in a place where I had never before
experienced pain. 1t seemed to cllminate
