Glengarry Mineral Spring I believe he had two of those. We started filling the jars. He was going to take that with him. Sunday was the next day. He wanted me to go out with him again Sunday. Well, I de? cided I would, doing the same thing for him. He seemed to have money--he was very free talking about it anyway--I'd make a dollar for myself. So anyvay, we got him supper and same as before, I buttered the bread for him and everything. He couldn't do anything. He went to bed and everybody went to bed. And next morning, we were go? ing to church. It was only I and Mother home at that time--the rest of them were gone, I guess--so we didn't bother to wake him, you know, left him in bed because he wasn't able to do anything or take any? thing .

And he got the wagon and helped hitch the horse, and about a week afterwards we got a letter from him--he was working in the pit. He was a coal min? er. There's a lot of other people dead and gone now that could tell you the same of miracles that happened out there. Cures, wonderful cures. (Did prayer play any role in this?) Well I don't think, as far as this man was concerned. I never heard him say a word about God while he was here. (Would the priest ever talk about the wa? ters out there?) Well, the old priests that were here before my time were sup? posed to have blessed it and things like that, but I never heard of priests predict? ing that it cured. I think it was the stuff in the water, if there was cure in it. It must have been effective. My aunt also. She was terrible with rheumatism.
