Mrs. Taillon's boy is the seventh bov in

marked with more seriousness than chill

nary child.
Jean must be asked to cure. II not ask-
ed he Will not offer his aid. His operation
is as simple as can be. and consists in
touching the suffering part. He presses
his little hands on his patients, and then
tells them TO say Pater and Ave for their
cure. That is all.

Aime, of toothache. That was his first
cure. We all believed that as Jean Louis
was the seventh son he would possess
some power to cure"

other pain than toothache until last sum-
mer. Thomas Robillard. of No 90 Cha
teaugay Street, was suffering from tumor
on the back of his head. near his ear. He
met Jean Louis and asked him if he would
cure him. The child simply touched the
tumor, and in few days a marked change
was noticed, while in few weeks the
tumor disappeared. Robillard tells this
story.
Diseases most apt to be cured by the
boy are those of the eye ear, teeth or any
part of the head
Mrs. Thomas Lavoie. Of No. GALA Delori-
mier Street, suffered from a sore eye Of
years standing. the result of blood pois-
oning. She went to see Jean Louis and
asked him to cure her. He touched her
eye, and not many days afterward she was
perfectly cured.
Stanley Wiseman, a son of r. Wise
man, was dying 1t was thought, of in
fiammation of the brain. He was uncon-
scious when young Taillon was ushered
into his room. Jean Louis placed his little
hands on the patients head. the lad opened
his eyes, and within twenty minutes the
terrible pain in the head had disappeared.
Two days later the healer returned and re-
peated the same operation for weakness in
Stanley's leg. In three days he was out.
There are hundreds of persons who de-
clare they have been cured by this re-
markable boy. Mr.. Taillon has not decided
