determining the authenticity of the same.
The family live a short distance from the
village, where II was found that the people
were cOgnizant of the cure which had been
effected, and were rejoicing with the family
IN their new found happiness The father,
4. = Adams, Is a hard-woTking honest
farmer iIom east Tennessee, and the family
came TO Florida four years ago in the hope
that change OF climate would be of benefit
to their afflicted child. Much Of their earn

east tennessee, and was seven years old on
the third day Of February. 1897. When ten
months old she was stricken with paralysis
which affected the entire left side. This
stroke of paralysis was followed bv convul-
sions, and IRON the time little Fannie was
ten months old until February, 1897, there
was not single day or a night that she did
not have spasms of the most distressing
nature, Not single CONFUSION, but al
ways three or four, and sometimes as high
as ten in one day.
The family was all broken down with
care, and Mrs. Adams states that for one
year she did not 60 into her kitchen to super

another box, and up TO this time six boxes

Adams states, were given in January, the
latter part. and certainly not earlier than
