CURED HIM.
“Yes,” said the man in the mackintosh, lighting another cigar, “it was one of the most remarkable cases 1 ever knew. Rheumatism twenty-five years—both shoulders —had to bo fed like a little child. Arms had hung helpless ever since I knew him—no use in them wba'ever.” ’ “And he was cured without medicine?” asked the man who had his feet on the table. “Yes.” “Or liniments?” enquired the man with the slouch hat, “Or liniments.” “And he recovered the use of lm arms in one moment?” observed th man with the goggles on. “Yes.” “I’ve heard of such things,” re marked ihe man in the Inverness. “It was in circumstances of strong mental excitement, wasn’t it?” “Yes.” “I thought so. He was induced to believe lie could be cured if only he made the effort, wasn’t ho?” “I suppose so. Something or other of that nature.” “Then there’s nothing strange about it. The history of medical practice is full of such cases. Jt was only an instance of what they call faith cure. ’ “No.” said tho man in the mackintosh, reflectively, “you would hardly call it that. The cure was effected by a man,with a revolver who mot him on a lonely road end said: “Hold up your hands!’ And he held them up.”
