The Soldan sent, as a nuptial present on this occasion, the celebrated TALISMAN. But though many cures were wrought by means of it in Europe, none equalled in success and celebrity those which the Soldan achieved.
You go and you fetch him, you pay him for his time, and he cures you. It was he who put little Romeo Boilly on his legs again after being run over by a wagon loaded with planks." The sick woman had relapsed into stupor, and was moaning feebly with her eyes closed. "I will go and get him if you like," suggested Eutrope. "But what will you do for a horse?" asked Maria.
When Christian Science or any other healing cult reports cures in this field, those cures, if verified by sufficient testimony, may be accepted as accomplished. Those who have accomplished them may take what credit they will for their own agency in the matter, but for all that the cure is no testimony at all to the truth or falsity of their system.
He recalled to himself all the stories of Curés' servants who shared their masters' bed.

The labour must have been immense, but there it stands a monument to man's perseverance and faith. Simeon is reckoned as a saint by the peasants; they come to him from all parts of the country, bringing their sick, and many cures are said to have been effected there. He is a vegetarian, and subsists solely on the products of his little garden.
They all began to speak at once: 'He has called himself king; he says that God is his Father; that the Pharisees are an adulterous generation. He causes insurrection among the people; he cures the sick by the help of the devil on the Sabbath-day. The inhabitants of Ophel assembled round him a short time ago, and addressed him by the titles of Saviour and Prophet.

The remedies have not had time to prove themselves. We shall cure others that is certain but we shall not cure him." His voice deepened. Then he asked: "Is he a Russian or a Greek?" "I do not know.
