The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1898-05-05

stitution was explained to her again-al
she had to do was to trust In God and for
get that she was ailing, and some morning
| she would surprise herself by findingj she
was no longer unwell-all of which, in the
event of recovery, would be attributable tt
the excellent methods of the home.
Miss Hull apparently followed instruc.
lions, for, instead of improving in health
she was noticed by her friends to be getting
thinner, paler and more emaciated day by
day. They marveled at the change-those
| friends of hers-but anything they said
contrary to that Home of Truth, Miss Hull
took as a personal affront, so they de-
sisted, and even her cousin and chum, Miss
Herald, dared no longer breach the SUBJ
ject.
She therefore had her own sweet way
that eventually proved bitter one, about
it. Meanwhile the managers of the home
were losing sight of the fact that con-
sumption, already deep-rooted in the poor
girls system, was eating her away, and
they continued to tell her that they, or,
rather, they through the instrumentality
Of God, were gradually subduing her nerv-
BUSINESS. AS to the wasting disease they
thought not thought as yet
All this was while Miss Hull was still
employed. About the last of January the
young lady concluded, after promptings no
doubt, that she could be more speedily
cured at the home If she left her work and
went to live there altogether, which she
did. She was continuing to get worse in
health, though, while paying the home to
be cured.
For some reason, which Mrs Aspinwall
did not explain In detail, they sent Miss
Hull to the San Diego branch during the
first week in February. They kept her
there until the LIST of April, when they
brought her back to this city. She was
still, apparently, being told she was nerv-
Gus, while consumption continued to ca,
into her lungs.
Miss Hull was able to walk and be
around, but nothing more. The young lady
who met her on the cars three weeks ago
says she was scared into actual fright by
Miss Hulls emaciated and weakened ap-
pearance. In reply to a question she said
she was feeling we'll and that she never
felt stronger, though the friend says she
could not have weighed more than 100
pounds, while fifteen months before she
weighed 14S pounds and was the personif-
cation of health and womanly vigor.
A few days thereafter Miss Hull was too
weak to walk unattended and she was
forced to take to bed, being then sent to
Sierra Madre. Her cousin and her aunt
both called on her and importuned her to
allow them to remove her to their home,
but she would not consent to the proposed
arrangement. Both ladies told the man
ayers of the home that Miss Hull was suf-
fering from consumption, that it already
had a hold that indicated death was APP
preaching, and that they would call a
doctor to have him do his mite towards
saving her.
The Home of Truth people finally did
become convinced that their charge had
and was not afflicted with a
mere case of nervousness, but as the mo-
dus operandi is the same here for ailments
of whatever kind, they did nothing more
for her than they had been doing. To the
direct request of the two relatives that a
physician be called Aspinwall demurred.
But still, few days, later when Miss
Hull lay unconscious for hours, when her
left limb was paralyzed. when she could
no longer speak above whisper when her
breast was atrophied-then they called a
medical practitioner, DIR. Gresham, who
could do nothing but await his patients
death to sign the usual doctors certificate
that the law demands. And medicine hav-
ing once trespassed upon the grounds of
metaphysical science. Aspinwall and the
others refused to have more to do with
what remained of the once beautiful Miss
Hull.
Mr.. Aspinwall was somewhere in the city
on business and Miss Rix was in San Diego
when Herald reporter called at the Home
of Truth yesterday afternoon, so Mrs.
Aspinwall, the only one in authority at
home, responded to the queries put to her
that is when she felt so inclined, and to
the questions that displeased her she said
the reporter had better call another time
and see her husband. The lady is small.
thin woman. but speaks rapidly and with
precisions on metaphysics, her favorite
subject.
There is nothing in Miss Hulls case to
cause comment or investigation she said
