A Healing Medium.
Napiek, December 17th. Mr Milner Stephen gave a public exhibition of his professed healing powers in the Theatre Royal yesterday, and created^ great astonishment by his apparently instantaneously curing of partial paralysis, rheumatism, and like affections. The patients certainly walked away professing to be cured. In one case a deaf-and-dumb boy was made to hear, and he repeated words after Mr Stephen. It is reported that lie has since " fallen from grace," and cannot now speak. The so-called cures are brought about by breathings and blowings, and stroking with the hand, assisted by red flannel, on which Mr Stephen breathes, and by bottles of what he calls "magnetised water" and "magnetised oil." His performance was the talk of the town la&t night.
