Cure of Unusual Interest-A
Reporter Investigates.
From the Lake Region, Eustis, Fla.


For some time past the Lake Region has
been receiving reports from Umatilla, Fla,
of AN almost miraculous cure that had been
effected in the case of Fannie Adams, 4
daughter of A. j. Adams, OF that place, and
last Saturday a representative of this paper
made a trip to Umatila for the purpose of
determining the authenticity of the same.
The family live a short distance from the
village, where il 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,
A. j. Adams, is a Woodworking honest
farmer from east Tennessee, and the family
came to Florida four years ago in the hope
that a change of climate would be of benefit
to their afflicted child, Much of their earn
ings have gone for doctors bills, whose
services proved unavailing. The representa-
| tive was greeted by Mrs. Adams, from whom
| he gained the story of her great trial.
Fannie, the youngest child, was born in
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 by convul
sions, and from 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 a single convulsion, 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 90 into her kitchen to super.

of the right hand of the little girl are en-

case bafiled the skill of the best physicians,
and they were frank to say that they could
not determine the cause, or prescribe a
remedy to aid the afflicted child.

for little Fannie has recently been released
from her six years of agony, which brings the
light of happiness to the faces of the parents
