this community, and in fact through
out the Territory, that John X. Fur
long of this city has for the last five
OF six years been engaged in the
ancient-like custom Of healing sick
and diseased persons without the use
OF drugs or medicines of any kind. lie

healed them comprise some of the
best and most enlightened people In
this community. The following is a
sample Of his healing:
