FACED DEATH,
Given up to Die by His Physicians but Received a

His Own Words.

statements lately regarding wonderful cures,
great so-called miracles, ETC., claimed TO be

many of them happened at some distance, but

here in Orleans County. Hearing such reports
and desiring to verify che remarkable state
ments, representative of the Weekly Nelcs
drove to Kendall last Wednesday and called
upon Mr.. Absalam Haradine, who is we'll
TODD farmer residing about a mile north of
West Kendall in this county.
Your reporter found Mr.. Haradine sitting in
an easy chair looking frst-rate and ready to
give the public his remarkable experience.
