| O—~ I Girl Dead Two Hours; Brought Back To Life o 0 Dead for two hours was the the strange experience of Margaret Cooper, a young woman at the County Hospital at Albany, N. Y. This announcement has just been made public by Dr. Everheart, head of the medical staff. Three days ago declared dead two hours nnd a quarter earlier, by the doctors, her stone cold body awaited removal from the hospital morgue, when suddenly there rushed Into tho hospital a woman who asked where Mias Cooper was. Quickly she was at her side followed by surprised physicians and nurses who tried to make her understand it was too late. Disregarding them she glanced only an instant at the lifeless form of the young woman ■ before her on the- marble slab. i Suddenly she stood erect making a gesture as of authority. Riveted to the spot, the doctors and nurses watched her as she opened a book, glanced a moment nt it, then pressed > ' tightly to her, closed her eyes and i lifted iter head. Silently her lips began to move. Her face shone as with . an almost superhuman expression. ; Then suddenly, a terrible awe gripped , them all as they watched, so Bead Sody Made to Live Without warning Miss Cooper's lifeless body stirred. Astounded, the doctors stared in horror at one another. Their gazo riveted on the now twitching corpse. Amazed, the nurses watched .their professional calm hr-..ken by the realization that they stc.nl in the presence of something more i>owertul than medical science, while not a sound broke the awful iileu.ee. Beads of cold perspiration -food on their faces as they watch"d,- a second resurrection. Leaning forward, the woman placed , the little book in Miss Cooper's hand. With her other hand she lifted her. iellihg her to arise. Slowly, nechani•ally, Miss Cooper sat up, eyes closed, tlie death pallor still on her fat e. The I miracle woman s lips moved silently 1 is she continued her work of raising ■ the dead, before the very eyes of the i now bewildered doctors and nurses, -for tup stillness of death bore heavily > upon all. I Opening her eyes, the woman look--1 ed down at Miss Cooper and smiled I and spoke. The color began slowly t to return to the young woman’s face; her eyes twitched, her lips moved, , while a sigh of relief went up from all , the doctors and nurses. A nurse j handed her a stimulant and in amazement, Miss Cooper looked at those about her, as she noticed herself in her uncanny shroud. The Mystery Grows But anotli r surprise was in store. Mi a Cooper didn't know who this mysterous woman was standing before her, and the woman it developed had never heard of Miss Cooper until sb - passed the hospital a few mo ' menis before, when someone coming ont sobbed aloud that Margaret had !i' 1. Hearing her sobbing the woman asked the name of her friend, then hastened into the building to Miss 1 Cooper. Dr. Everheart Surprised Dr. J. T. Everheart, who has re- ‘ cently been placed in charge of th? 1 hospital since his arrival in America, ' in talking to the woman about the remarkable recovery, inquired what her | • method was. What came as a shock, I and as another and greater surprise; to him. was that he learned that this, motherly little woman had but that morning picked up in the public library, a book on mental and spiritual, healing and had become so wrapped ■ up in what she read that the impulse s. :zed and controlled her at the in-j stunt she heard of Miss Cooper's i death and without fully realizing what she was doing, she brought to life again this young woman whom she had never seen before. Supernatural Guidance Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, the woman who brought ibout this, the most remarkable recovery ever made in any hospital, says she did not realize what good she was doing, but now thanks God that she was instrumental through which such work could be brought about. Mrs. Smith's experience has produced a profound sensation among the people of Albany and neighboring cities. She is besieged on all sides not only by doctors, scientific men. ministers and healers of all types but by mail is receiving requests for help and information from hundreds of persons in all parts of the country. Mrs. Smith unfortunately is not in a position to give this, as the constantly growing work demanded of her is overburdening, but she says she feels ' that others can do the same as she, as it is simple if they but study the book of Mr. Banning’s to which she credits entirely her remarkable success, it being the first time she ever tried to heal .anyone. She says she can never be thankful enough for having read Mr. Banning's book, “Mental and Spiritual Healing" that she in some unaccountable way was lead to pick up j

TO DARKEN HAIR APPLYSAGETEA * ■ Look Young! Bring Back Ils Natural Color, Gloss and Attractiveness — Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just a few applications will prove a revelation if your hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sago Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get a bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Surpliur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. This is the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients. While wispy, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair witli Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through .your hair, taking one strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, ami, after another application or two. your hair,becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.
