Faith Healer Dowie, and Miss Cody's Case.

Dr. Alexander Dowie, the faith healer of Chicago, who was so much in vogue in this vicinity a few months ago, is now getting any amount of free advertising in the Chicago papers. Many of his nearest neighbors are very anxious to get rid of him, and have begun numerous prosecutions against, him. One of these cases, charging him with keeping a hospital without a license, was tried last week, but resulted in a disagreement, the jury standing 11 for guilty to 1 for not guilty. The papers are taking sides for of against Dowie, and Monday’s Times-Herald had a six column article in whieh his numerous alleged cures were set out in detail. Most prominence in this article was given to the case of Miss Sadie Cody, of Rensselaer. The portion of the article referring to Miss Cody’s case is here given.
