CURED BY A MIRACLE.

'Hie story of an apparently miraculous recovery from a very serious illness startled' London a few weeks ago. A young woman named Dorothy Kerin, who had been a bedridden invalid for some years, was lying apparently at the point of death. She had been attended for two years by a surgeon who, the “Daily Telegraph” states, is well known in the South of Loudon as a keen practical man, and “ would not he likely in tho least to make a mistake in regard to tho evidence of physical disease.” The patient was considered hy the doctor to he suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis, for which she had been treated previously in hospitals and sanitoria, and tho doctor had confirmed his diagnosis hy bacteriological examination. The young woman pissed from had to worse, being reduced to a condition of utter helplessness by her long illness, and about six weeks ago she became almost blind and deaf. Her medical man could do nothing for her, and finally ho had to tell her friends that she might die at any moment. A few hours after tho doctor had spoken to her father and mother, who were sitting at her bedside, wore startled hy a loud cry. Their daughter sat up and declared that she had seen a vision of dazzling light, and a voice had told her that her sufferings were over, and she could wiilk about again. Before her parents could realise what had happened she got out of bed and began to walk about tho house. During the next three days sho continued

apparently strong and well. There was no trace of the blindness and deafness, and though her face was pale her limbs betrayed no sign of weakness. Miss Kerin’s career is being watched with keen interest by her own medical man and some of his colleagues. ’-Her recovery cannot be attributed to influences such as those which sometimes have terminated “nerve cases” with dramatic suddenness. Tho evidence »n the side of tho capable doctors who declared that she was very seriously ill of consumption is overwhelming strong, and her restoration to health appears to have been nothing short of a miracle.
