and in fact for all sorts of ailments,
and several chronic diseases are said
to have been treated with good sue
cess. One case in the village of Jack
sonvilc is frequently referred to at
something remarkable. Fordyce Ha
ger, a little son of Freeman Hager,
had been left practically helpless from
an attack of scarlet fever. The little
fellow could not move his limbs or his
hips. Newell was called by the boy s
father, who said there was one way
he could stop Hagcr's noise and that
was to help the boy. The first time
that the healer visited the boy he
found him in bed perfectly helpless.
He took old of his hands and in five
minutes he moved his feet. He treat
ed him four times, and the last time
the boy got up and went to playing as
well apparently as ever. His com
plant mas never returned. The boy s
father was seriously injured by a tree
falling on him about fortnight ago,
near the Davis bridge in Nottingham.
Hagcr's hip was out OF Joint and
his shoulder badly damned. He was
taken up for dead, and was, it is
claimed, unconscious for three hours.
Newell was called to the sufferer after
the hip had been treated by physi-
clan, and the third time he brought
! him home in sleigh the Same as any
one would ride distance of several
miles. and the man walks all about to-
day.
Edgar Fuller president of the Will
mington saving bank brought his
wife to see Newell She had been on
crutches four years from an injury iii

with difficulty that she went about
on crutches. After one treatment she
walked out of the house and got into
the wagon unattended IA thing, her
husband said he had not seen her do
for four years Newell has not seen
her since, but it is reported that the
cure is permanent, Mrs. Carley of
jacksonville. who had been i'll for
years. had tried several doctors and
all kinds of patent medicines without
relief Newell saw her twice and she
now tells her friends that she is all
right. The wife of j. J. Streeter OF
SheIburne Falls had plcurisy, and
every time she drew her breath. ac-
cording to her friends, it seemed as
though a knife was sticking into her
side. She was treated once by Newell,
and letter states that he had done
her much good and that she was very
much better. y Nottingham man
named Frank Schneider had rheuma-
tism. which was extremely painful, |

not returned since. Jesse Niles of
