air. Will Lochridge, of Austin, is Now
Comparatively Well.
Tuesday's Austin Statesman
contains the follbwing account of
a remarkable faith cure per
formed on Mr. "Wm. Lochridge,
brother of Mr. H. M. Lochridge,
of this city :
" Yesterday morning's
Statesman contained the infor-
. mation that Mr. "Will Lochridge
was very low at his father-in-law's
home in this city and his
condition was considered critical.
Such was the case up to yester
day morning, and then, strange
to say, a mysterious power came
to his aid and he was reported
'yesterday as a comparatively
-well man. It seems that Sunday
afternoon, in despair at the ap
parently inevitable end of Mr
.Lochridge, the family wired to a
iaith healer in . Peoria, HI.",,
named Mrs. Hill to get her to as
sist them, if possible, in bringing
Mr. Lochridge' back to life and
ridding him of the deadly stroke
iOf paralysis that was rapidly
capping his life away. At 10
o'clock, Sunday evening Mr.
Lochridge, who up to that time
had taken little notice of any
thing around him, raised his
hand and motioned: that lie
wanted a pencil and paper as he
could not .speak. It was given
.him and he wrote that he was
ieeling -some better. This was
certainly glad news for his rela
tives and friends About 10
o'clock -a telegram was received
from Mrs. Hill in Illinois, saying
that she had begun to treat,- Mr.
Lochridge at 6' o'clock Sunday
evening and would treat him un
til .7 o'clock Monday morning,
when he'would be well. At 6
o clock exactly 'buhday evening
Mr. Lochridge began to feel bet
ter. Yesterday morning at 7
o'clock ha talked and said that
he was entirely well and wanted
to get up. During the night he
had recovered his speech and
improved in every particular so
rapidly as to excite -wonderment.
He wanted to get up yesterday
morning, but his wife insiste'd on
his staying in bed until he had
recovered some of his strength.
Sunday morning Mr. Loch
ridge was so low that no one was
permitted to enter his room and
it was thought at best that he
could not live through the night.
The cure is certainly the most
remarkable on record.
Mr. Lochridge has been sick
lor nearly three months now,
being a victim of paralysis all
that time. The stroke took effect
in his feet and worked on .up
until it had progressed above his
waist. The disease spread rapidly
from that time until Friday, when
Mr. Lochridge lost the power of
speech. Sunday at noon he
called for a piece of paper and a
pencil and wrote a message, tell
ing those around him to send a
telegram to Mrs". Hill in ' Illinois
and ask her to 'treat him and wire
back the hours at which she
"would treat him. Her message
came Sunday night at 10 o'clock,
as stated above, and with the de
sired effect. Mr. Lochridge was
due to take some medicine yes
terday morning at 4 o'clock, but
declined to do so, and also at 7
he declined to take any medicine.
At a few minutes past 7 he was
talking and all pain had left his
body and he could move in the
bed as well as though he had
never been7 afflicted with paraly
sis. It is needless to say that
Mr. Lochridge's relatives and
friends are wild with joy at the
sudden turn of affairs. Mr.
IOchridge was reported last af
ternoon as being practically a
well man and it will only be a
few days now until he' is able to
be out."
On the Tuesday afternoon
train from Austin Mr. H. M.
Lochridge received a letter tell
ing him that his brother was ap
parently as well as ever, and able
to drive about over the city. Mr.
Lochridge says he is not orthodox
on the subject of faith cures, but
after seeing his brother at the
point of death Sunday, and then
having positive evidence of his
being able to drive over town the
next day, furnishes a field for
speculation that does not in the
least interfere with his joy over
his brother's restoration to
.health.-
