with Interest and GROW Wild
With Enthusiasm.

By almost universal request Derr Fritz
and staff will be at Congress Hall every
afternoon at 2.30 o'clock during the week
where the sick, crippled and deaf will be
treated in public without money or price,

men. The stage is crowded with the dis
eased and suffering They make the
deaf hear and the crippled to throw away
their canes and crutches and run and
jump about the stage with the full use of
their limbs. Among the marvellous and
miraculous cures performed the repor-
ter noted the following:
Mrs. Mary Balmert, who was crippled
by eight years of agonizing rheumatism,
was, after short treatment, able to walk
off, carrying her crutch over her shoulder
at which the audience applauded, and
many cries of "Praise Godr' were heard
A most remarkable cure was that of Mrs.
William Brown, who came upon the
stage with an immense tumor ON her
neck. After few minutes treatment
the tumor dwindled down until nothing
but loose skin was left. This tumor was
an eight years. growth, and this was a
demonstration of practical surgery with
out knives or medicine that elected ap-
plause even from large number of ply
sicians who were present. A five years
case of neuralgia in the head was cured
in five seconds, rheumatism OF ten years
development was removed from Mrs.
Barber, who, after the treatment, walked
perfectly. A number of cases OF para)y-
sis, deafness, liver and kidney troubles,

Derr Fritz and staff have private offices
at the Chadwick House where those who

Mrs. Thurston married Capt. Henry
Thurston, who at the age of 10 years
commanded vessel, and who, during
the Mexican war. commanded the brig
Henrietta, a vessel actively engaged in
carrying supplies. Mrs. Thurston often
accompanie ed her husband on his voyage
1t was while accompanying her husband
on voyage to Marseilles in 1859 that
ner husband was stricken with disease
resembling congestion of the brain. The
American consul told Mrs. Thurston that
her husband might be able to remain
with his ship for the return, but that she
would have to be his assistant and might
even have to act for him. The worst

was brought safely into port. Capt.
