help, which (he had not been able to do for a 
twelvemonth before. She was again ele&rifed ; and 
believing (lie was then quite well, (he went away : 
but fome weeks after, upon the coldnefs of her hand 
beginning to return, fhe made me another vifit, was 
again ele&rifed, and was difmifled a fecond time 
apparently cured. This is about two months ago, 
and I have heard nothing of her fince. 
As thefe two laft women are at fuch a didance, I 
cannot pretend to fend you their own teflimony of 
their cure. But for the two cafes in the feparate 
paper, as the perfons are inhabitants of this place, I 
have taken care that they themfelves fhould fign them, 
along with my father; fince you have acquainted me, 
that accounts of this kind fhould have the atteftation 
both of the patients and the minifter of the parifh. 
I fhali only add here, that feveral perfons have 
been relieved of rheumatic pains, by ele&rifing the 
parts affe&ed. And a woman was cured of a deaf- 
nefs of fix months (landing, contracted, as (lie ima- 
gined, by cold. This woman held the phial in her 
hand, whilft another perfon (landing on a cake of 
refm gave her the (hock, by putting the end of the 
wire into her ear. This manner of elcftrifing brought 
always on a profufe fvveat over the head, which we 
encouraged, by wrapping it up in flannel. The firft 
day (lie came here, (he could fcarce hear what was 
fpoken by thofe about her ; but in five days (lie 
teemed to be perfectly cured.
