Physicians are dumbfounded at the
transformation which Miss Tahse IN
derWent in. q few hours, but Miss Tahse
hand Of God was in it, and that she
was the subject of a cure quite as mar

Miss Tahse is a Cincinnati woman,
80 years old. Six years ago, while
crossing street in Cincinnati, she was
run down by a heavy vehicle owned
by, the Cincinnati Omnibus company.
Miss Tahse suffered paralysis of one
side from the waist down and practical
ly lost her sight. 81 -
She was treated in the Price hospital,
Cincinnati, by numerous specialists,
who pronounced her hopeless invalid.
At the trial of a damage suit she
brought against the omnibus company,
twenty-five experts testified that she
would he a lifelong cripple. The case
was ,ins the courts several years, Miss
Tahse finally receiving a. verdict of
$4,000, which was paid to~her a year

most of her time in wheel char, IL
guiding which about the house she at

ache, She was visited, she maintains
by an, unseen spirit, which compelled
her to, act against her will. It wa.

sicians were scarcely able to restrai
her. In one of her outbursts she hurle
her .crutch away from the bedside, de
claring that she would never use
again. In another she threw her glasse
! against the wall and broke them. Wit

her cure. She disli kes publicity, sh
says, but considers it her duty to lie
