Where disease has been located simply in the mind, which is often the case, some marvelous cures have been effected by this class of doctors; and because they found a supposed mental cause adequate to a cure in a few cases, leaped to a wild conclusion that all causes were mental, and would yield to the same treatment.

Well, I should think wife would entertain company in the parlor. But here she comes, followed by a person right from the State lunatic asylum--one that I had met with before. I must confess that I felt a little strange with such company; but I immediately arose and gave the brother my hand, and said--“Good morning, Mr. Van Benschoten; how do you do?” “I am well, bless God! I called, Brother Osborne, to tell you what great things the Lord has done for me.” He then gave me his experience, which is as follows:
