In Texas a still-born child was brought to life by the touch of a cross blessed by Pius IX. ; and in the convent of the Enfant Jesus at Coire, near Lyons, a nun who had a cancer in the tongue and aerious internal disease invoked one night, while suffering acute pains, the aid of the late Pope, and, after being comforted by his apparition, was found completely cured next morning. The cures are cited, among others, to make good the claim of immediate beatification set up for Pius IX.
