of an almost miraculous cure that had been
effected in the case of Fannie Adams, q
daughter of A. J. Adams, Of that place, and

made trip to Umatil!a for the purpose OF
determining the authenticity of the same.
The family live a short distance from the
| village, where it was found that the people
were Cogn2ant 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.

ten months old until February, 1897, there
was not a single day or a night that She did
not have spasms of the most distressing
nature, Not a single CONFUSION, but ali.
ways three or four, and sometimes as bigb
as ten in one day.
The family was all broken down with
care, and Mrs. Adams states that for one
year she did not go into her kitchen to super
intend her household work. All the fingers
OF the right hand of the little girl are en-. |
