A Faith Cure.
The Alma Record gives the following
account of a case cured by faith—or
imagination:
A great deal of fuss is being made
over Francis Schlatter, the alleged faith
cure “healer.’’ It reminds us of a
case of “mental healing” that occurred
m Alma several years ago when a young
physician accompanied a lady to the
theatre one night. The cuitaiu was
late m rising and the lady complained
of feeling faint. The doctor gave her
a cheerlu! smile and took something
front his vest pocket and told his corn
pauioti to keep the “tablet” in nei
mouth but not to swallow it. 8he felt
better immediately and when the show
was over she slipped the Indissolvable
substance into her glove, being curious
to examing the article which had given
her so much reliet. When alone tn
her room she pulled off the glove and
discovered an ordinary pants button!

of the day, so I decided (in order

wo as to reach Atlanta in good time.
Well, nothing of interest transpired in

1 t<iok myself to the Govern¬

carried away with the sights; every¬
thing most that I could conceive ol
was before my eyes. The (ish exhibit
was very attractive and beautiful —
While looking at them, I had our Ts
tiiguished Buzzard Roost Fisherman
in my mind, know he enjoyed and was
delighted with tins part of the show.
I could have spent days in this building
v.i h profit, but time would not permit.
Thu next was the Florida building,
tiete I saw everything in the way of
tropical fruits and a great many ibings
1 never he'anl of before. The next
was the Geoigia building, the ngricul
tunil, forestry and mineral display was
very line. Near this building was tin
old Lg cabin that was moved from the
Chi“kstmauga battle field, with its many
wai .dies which were very interesting.
The aext was the Woman’s building,
here be crowd was so dense I could
see bui, little. From this place I went
to the Negro building ; the exhibits
here iar surpassed my expectation,and
