taken considerable interest in Actor Samuel Phil
lips Golden's case The public will remember that
this young man was given up by all his physicians
and expected to die IN few hours
He had dream. however. which caused him to
believe that his death would be deferred until
certain date. His faith in this dream such
that new lease of life was given him. at least
sufficiently long to enable him TO try other rem
edies than had been prescribed by the doctors.
The New-York Herald on May q briefly
viewed his case. under article headed. Hope
