Tomlinson, of Knox, Pa.. does not accept that explanation. “In "* she writes, “there was a centre method: Place the patient with her back toward and close to an oak tree, Lay an auger on top of her head with the point toward the tree, Then bore a hole deep into the tree, remove the au- ger, and cut of the lock of hair directly beneath it.

Then take a wooden plug, place the hair and verse at the end of it, and, while mut- tering something akin to ‘I do this in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.” drive it far into the heart of the tree. I have a girl working for me at the present time who is quite positive that she had the phthisic cured in that way, and I suppose some time in the . future her lock of hair, also red, will be discovered in the heart of an oak, and , about another too secrative lover, when, ' if they could only know that phthisic _ was the cause of it being ther how un- ! romantic it would sound,” - NO MORE.
