Sir Humphrey Davy, when a young man, had an experience which serves to illustrate the nature of healing by faith. Davy was employed by Dr. Beddess, who had an extravagant theory of the curative power of oxygen, to administer the gas to certain patients. Among those who came to be treated was a paralytic.
