Cures. MR. MILNER STEPHEN'S MARVELLOUS CURE 3. [Sydney Daily Telegbaph.] , nnHIS gentleman is still pursuing his i JL present vocation of healing diseases •which had resisted the skill of the medical faculty up to the time of his treatment. That a large measure of success has attended his efforts there can hardly be a reasonable doubt, in the face of the numerous testimonials which have been published in the public journals ; besides the Press reports of his public healings in this and the adjoining colony. At the commencement of Mr Milner Stephen's career we gave full notices of this extraordinary, and, as respects these colonies, unknown method of cures, by the simple process of breathing through " red flannel," " laying on of hands," or the still more wonderful mode of " ordering away" the disease or other affliction from the sufferer. During the last few weeks half a score of testimonials out of 20 odd cases, as we are informed, have appeared in the Press, certifying to the patients' legs having been sometimes instantaneously lengthened from two to six inches. The names and addresses of the parties are given (two young ladies having married since the restoration of their limbs !) and there ie quite a collection of crutches, and " block boots" to be seen at the Victoria Hall, which have been left by the donors with Mr Milner Stephen. With such evidence of this class of cures, backed by the eye testimony of all their acquaintances, who have been astonished at seeing hitherto lame young ladies walking, and even dancing without a perceptible limp, it is idle to say that this class of affliction at all events has been imaginary, while it is imputing fraud to the operator, patients, and witnesses who are parties to each testimonial. Beports have appeared in this journal noticing the marvellous cures at the public healings by the processes before mentioned. Mr Milner Stephen advertises in another column that he will heal in public on Wednesday afternoon the 14th December. Those who feel any curiosity en the snbject should accept Mr Stephen's invitation to " come and see." The following remarkable recent cures have been forwarded to us for publication. A few of these were effected by the single command to "rise and walk," as constantly ordered by Dr. Newton in America, and the celebrated " Jacob the Zouave," in Paris :— " Leg Lengthened— 427, Liverpool-street, Sydney, 24th November, 1881. G. Milner Stephen, Esq. Dear sir,—l have much pleasure in certifying to the wonderful cure which "you recently wrought upon my daughter. She was induced to apply to you for relief by another young lady, who had derived great benefit from your treatment. My daiighter had been suffering; fifteen years from hip disease. The leg effected was weak and attenuated, and two inches shorter than the other leg, and the foot was smaller, necessitating the wearing of a high-heeled boot. She was so very lame that it was painfull to see her walk. Now, after being treated by you, the affected limb is growing etrong, and the foot larger, and my daughter can wear an ordinary boot, and plant her foot firmly on the ground ; and she has lately danced at an evening party. I have, therefore, reason to believe that the improvement in my daughter's case is permanent, and that in course of time she will be perfectly cured by you. Feeling grateful for your success, I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, Wat/eeb D'Abkietta, Overseer, Government Printing Office. Asthma and Liver Complaint.—l hereby certify that having suffered from asthma and liver complaint for nine years, and treated by four doctors without any relief, early in June I went to Mr Milner Stephen, who only treated me three times, and after the third treatment I was entirely cured, and have continued so ever since. — Alfeed Ernest Bakeb, Moorfields, 3rd November, 1881. Witness —S. Herbert. " Rheumatism. —I have had rheumatism in my knees and'arms for the last 18 months, and I have not been able to use my hands for the last six months. I have had medical advice but no relief. Mr Milner Stephen today ordered all pains .out of my knees and arms ; and I can now move my arms about freely and can walk easily.—Mrs Chambers, Kent-street. November2l,lßßl. Witness: M. F. Allman. " Stiff Knee, &c.—l have had a stiff knee, very much swollen and very painful through scrubbing, and I could scarcely walk. I have been an outdoor patient of the Infirmary, but got no relief. I came to Mr Milner Stephen, and he instantly took all stiffness and pain away by placing his hands on my knee, and now I can walk quite comfortable. —Mrs Bishop, Francis-street, [Glebe, 21st November, 1881. Witness :M. F. Allman." Sciaticia in Hip.—Mr G. Searle, Greenroad, Moore Park, had his pains " ordered away " by Mr Milner Stephen without touching him, and he walked out of the Hall with comfort. M. F. Allman, secretary, lVth September, 1881. " Acute Rheumatism.—T have been in bed nine weeks with acute rheumatism. The pain was frightful. I could not shut one of my hands, nor move the arm at all, and my ankle was dreadfully swollen. I came to Mr Milner Stephen, who has just breathed into my neck, and then told me to rise and walk away. My arm, hand, and ankle are restored, and I immediately walked in his hall quite cured, and free from pain.—Me S. Jones. Witness — Miss Alice Jones, Judd-street, Woolloomooloo, 28th September, 1881. Next morning her next door neighbor called to sny she was quite cured." RHEUMATIC GOUT. Bathurst, May 2,1881. To Milner Stephen, Esq. Dear Sir, —At your request I will give you a full statement of my case, which you cured early in August, last year. My husband is a watchmaker and jeweller in this city, and I have five children living. About 26 years ago I had a severe attack of rheumatism in my feet, and it gradually spread all over the body, my arms, hands, and head being affected, till at last it flew to my heart. The agony I endured at times is beyond description. My hands, ankles, and knees had chalky excrescences on the joints ; and for about a fortnight before you treated me the excruciating pain in my heart, which seemed to run up to the head, prevented my lying down in a bed. During those 25 years J was always in greater or less pain, so that I could not lift the slightest thing. Reading in the newspapers of your wonderful cures, I went to Sydney to be treated by you. I saw you three times during the week, when you breathed upon the different parts affected, each time lasting about five minutes, and each time I felt relieved, and I returned home strong and well, with my nervous system quite restored. The lumps on my joints immediately began apparently to melt away. I took magnetised water—five bottles in all —which finished my cure. My case being well-known in Bathurst, hundreds of people, including Bishop Marsden and his wife, came to be assured of my cure after such an extraordinary long and severe illness that the Western Independent had an article about it. About three months ago I had been taking some medicine, and caught p severe cold, and I felt a stiffness, &c, coming into my elbows and therefore I accompanied my husband to Sydney to have the stiffness removed. You have again taken away the stiffness and pain, and you also " ordered away" rheumatic pains from my husband s shoulder without touching him. — AVith grateful thanks for your kind services, 1 am, yours sincerely, Harriet llayward. Witness—Williaii Hay ward. CHRONIC DISEASE OF THE SPINE 30 YEARS. Balmain, April 26, 1831. To Milner Stephen, Esq., Sir,—l take this opportunity of returning you ruy heartfelt thanks for the cure you iiavc effected on me of Chronic Disease of
