AMAZING "CURES."

"MIRACLES" THROUGH SPIRIT MEDIUM. SIGHT RESTORING HERBS. Amazing claims for the curing of illness and deformity by means of a communing spirit are made by a young girl living in South Wales,, reputed to be an Eastern Princess. She lives in Lawn Terrace, Treforest, and her "miracles," 6he says, are performed through the spirit of a Persian doctor who died a hundred years ago. If all that is reported is true, she has hundreds of cures to her credit. Dumb people she has treated, it is stated, can speak, deaf people hear, and blind people gee. The lame can walk, and the paralysed use their limbs. The princess has treated people from every part of the country, and each day hundreds of people visit her. One case reported was' that of a little hoy who had been unable to speak since birth. A few days ago he was seen to run towards the clock and stand there murmuring excitedly, "Tick, tick, tick, tick." His parents assert that these are the first words he has ever spoken. The medium stands before the fireplace for hours on, end without moving, her eyes ! closed, and speaking in broken English. I Hearing the speech of her Persian adviser she'dictates it to an assistant, who sends the patient into the next room to have the prescription the medium has given made up. All she bases her advice on, in some cases, is a lock of hair, and her prescription always takes the form of a herb for massage or drinking. One man who had been in great danger of losing his sight was pronounced hopeless by specialists. Hearing of the Treforest medium he paid her a visit, and after a short consultation he left the house and applied the herbs given him. His sight, is noM' almost perfect, and improves each day.. One case is positively startling. A young boy had one leg shorter than the other, and had; been told that the only means of treatment was by amputation. As a last resort the boy was taken to the lady in Trefiorest, who, it is stated, took a lock of the* boy's hair in her hand. The medium went deathly pale for five minutes or mere, and did not speak. No movement was seen in her body at all until at last she / mumbled in very broken English a few' words to her assistant.

The boy was massaged and he is now •walking almost naturally.
