The Windham County reformer. (Battleboro, Vt.) 1876-1897, 1896-03-20

His Most REMARKABLY Cure There and
One that Il Hard to Explain-What He
Says about HIS Proportion OF Success.

Bradley C. Newell, the healer, is
still going on his way conquering and
to conquer. Last week Thursday he
visited Dartmouth college in company
with his manager. Prof. l.. A. Butter
field, formerly of the chair of elocution
there. and Friday and Saturday he
was at West Randolph where he treated
cases by the hundred from towns all
about there. He went home TO Jack
sonville to spend Sunday and Monday
he went to Hartf, I'd TO treat Editor
B. l.. Burr of the Hartford Times, who
was in bed for nervous trouble and
who reported himself much benefited
by Newell's laying on of hands and
was able to sit mp before the healer
left. His daughter, who has been
troubled with deafness, was also treat
ed by Mr.. Newell and she said that
her hearing was improved. Tuesday
and Wednesday Newell was at Gard
ner, Mass, and yesterday and to-day
at Fitchburg.
The most remarkable case Newell has
had yet was that of Mabel the 10 years
old child of Harrison Dewey of South
Royalton, who has never spoken u
word since she was 10 months old,
when she had the measles and tonsi-
it iG at the same time causing paraly-
sis Of the throat After holding the
little girls hands for few minutes
and placing her hands upon her throat,
she jumped as if it hurt her throat,
After minute or two the girl said
the first word she had spoken in over
nine years. Then when told what 10
say she told her name, and where from
and seemed to be greatly excited over
it. The mother could hardly contain
herself she was so pleased. Then the
mother and daughter went to dinner
and the little miss gave off her order
as plainly as could be.
J. 7. Slack, of Spring field, who lost
his hearing in one ear when a boy,
after few minutes he came out and
could hear as we'll in the ear that was
AS he could in the other.
Mr.. Newell said he had one case
there which was the most peculiar he
had ever had. Lewis Bates of Bethel
came into the room and said he was
deaf and had leg drawn up by the
cords, so that he could not use it very
well. After giving him regular
Mr.. Bates asked the people |
present to retire which they did and |
after taking off mis- pants had Mr.. |
Newell rub the affected leg. When he
was doing it. Mr.. Newell asked him
Il he could feel his hands, but he
,ould not hear but almost in minute
lie said that it felt as if in the other
eg there was a ball of fire rolling up
md down and asked Mr.. Newell if he
,ould not hear it crack, while he
,ould not understand a word that was
poken to him. The current of cleo
richly which seems TO pass through
he body would make cracking sound.
Newell stated to reporter that he
lad been most successful with sciatic
and heart trouble while
e had treated over 1000 cases for
eafness ne said he had not cared or
elped over 30 at the most.
He said that he does not know that
Q can help person when looking at
hem, and does rot claim to cure every
ne. He said that probably not one
alf he had treated had been helped.
Save so to 500 worth Of clothes
ear by using less soap.
