The sight of an apparently healthy child of four being carried in the arms of her father thru the main streets of Elgin attracted the attention of passers- by a conple of weeks ago. The little girl was Mildred Colravy, and while seemingly healthy, was in intense pain. She was brought to Elgin from, her home at Long Point, near Streator, this state, for treatment, suffering from what the home physician diagnosed as acute paralysis of children. This is a new form of disease aud was unheard of up to a few mouths ago. Its origin is a mystery with physicians in that part of the state, where, at the present, time, there are a dozen children suffering with it in its severest form. At first a slight illness is noticed, and in every instance acute paralysis develops.

The spine of the Colravy child was first affected, the stiffness holding the head in a backward position, where it remained for several days. Gradually the disease left the spine and head and entered the limbs, causing a complete numbness. The pain was very intense, and it was impossible for the child to use the limbs at all. She couldn't stand, conld lie only on her back in bed, and slept with the greatest difficulty. The toes turned inward and remained in that manner. The family physician gave up the case as hopeless, and as a last resort the father, Edward Colravy, decided to bring Mildred to Elgin for consnlation with Prof. Leach. The physician held out little hope, and made the remark that in the meantime he would order braces to be adjusted to the child's limbs upon return of the family to Long Point. The parents came to El­ gin with Mildred Aug. 25. Prof. Leach gave a hurried decision, saying he would have her walking in two weeks, and the remarkable part of it all is he *kept his word. In exactly two weeks she was walking, and is gaining in strength every honr. The family left for home last Saturday, and it is safe to say there is not a happier father, mother and child in all the world. The little girl is still weak from the effects of the terrible ill­ ness, but color is fast coming back to her cheeks, and Prof. Leach says she will be entirely well in a week or so. In all fifteen treatments were given, and the fee $20. If it had been possible for any prominent specialist to make a cure of this nature the charge would be sev­ eral hundred dollars at least. Many El­ gin people became acquainted with the family during their stay in Elgin aud will be interested in knowiqg the success of the treatments. Their address is Long Point, 111., R. F. D. No, 1.
