A REMARKABLE CASE.

The following case was printed originally
in The Monitor, q newspaper published at
Meaford, Ontario. Doubts we're raised as

the original statement has now been com
pletely verified.
Mr.. Petch had been a hopeless paralytic
for FIVE years. His case has had wide atten-
ton. He was confined TO his bed, was bloat-
