A QUICK CURE.
"Yes." said the man in the mackintosh, lig-hting- another cigar, "it was one of the most remarkable cases I ever knew. Kheumatism 25 years, both shoulders; had to be fed like a little child. Arms had hung helpless? ever since I knew him—no use of them whatever." "And he was cured without medicine?" asked the man who had his feet on the table. "Yes." "Or linaments?" inquired the man with the slouch hat. "Or liniments? And recovered the use of his arms in one moment?" observed the mzn with the goggles on. "Yes. "I thought so. He was induced to believe he could be cured if only he made the effort, wasn't he?" "I suppose so. Something or other of t«at nature." "Then there's nothing strange about it. The history of medical practice is fnll of such cases. It was only an instance of what they call faith cure." "No," said the man in the mackintosh reflectively; yon could hardly call it that. The cure was effected by a man with a revolver, who met him' on a lonely road ana ■aid: 'Hold up your hands!' and B« held them up."
