S. J. COWAN, of Watkinsville, is very ill and may not get well, and the reason assigned is the lack of medical attention and the adoption of the Faith Cure. Rev. Mr. COWAN is not at home and his side of the affair cannot be given, but the information comes from several ladies of Watkinsville, who say that the little child is sick with a disease of the teeth and jawbone, and that although it is suffering terribly, Mr. COWAN is relying absolutely on the faith cure, and giving it no medicine. It is said that several ladies have tried to get to give it medicine, but that they have been refused the privilege.” Mr. COWAN is well known in Newton County and has warm friends who would like to see him put “faith and works” together and get rid of the dangerous idea that faith alone can cure all earthly ills.
