Faith Healing.

EXTRAOBDINARY CASE IN ADELAIDE. THE CHIEF HEALER ASSAULTED At Adelaide recently a peculiar cafle of "healing" was made public. A few weeks ago Dr Poulton decided thnt Miss Annie Amelia Taylor, a patient of his, should undergo an operation for hydfttids. Instead, however, of going to him to be operated upon she went to the " Home of Truth," a building recently presented to the Christian Metaphysical Society by a rich member of that organisation, which lias sprung into existenoe as the result of addresses delivered some time ago by Dr and Mrs Mills. Last week the girl came out of the Home of , Truth, and Dr Poulton found it necessary to send her to the lunatio asylum, his certificate being supported by Dr' Giles. Dr Poulton states that the hydatids have not been cured, and were not the cause of the girl's madness. Mr Glover, the professional healer, who holds sway at the Home of Truth, says that it was fear of the operation which upset the girl's mental equilia briutn, and adds that his treatment mitigated the disease from which the girl was suffering. He further/ states that he recently went to her house, and directly be mentioned his name a young fellow, about 23 years of age t came out, and time after time knocked him down, eventually, driving him off the premises. The truth of this statement the girl's brother admits. Glover expresses bis willingness to have the case inquired into by an independent committee -of pressmen and doctors.
