Rrounht Back TO Life.

Dubuque.-One of the most re-
markable cures ever effected and one
which savors strongly Of the miracu-
lous is that OF Sister Mary Carmelita
member OF the Order Of Charity at
Noun. Carmel In this city. Three
years ago while engaged in varnish-
ing the floors, Sister Carmelita was
the victim of terrible burning, the
flames originating from spontaneous
combustion. Two-thirds Of her body
was sacrificed, the skin having been
entirely consumed.
For nearly three years the sister
lay upon her bed and it was believed
she would never again walk. New skin
was the long chance she had for re-
coyery and the outlook seemed hope.

friends of the afflicted one came for
ward and volunteered their skin, I'M
dergoing the operation preliminary to
the grating process that meant so
much to their friend. The process rep.
resented three distinct operations for
Sister Carmelita. She passed through
them with Spartan fortitude and last
week for the first time ip three years
she took her first steps. The recov-
cry is the most remarkable in the
history of skin grating operations.
