SPINE WALKS, MAY TALK SOON

Five-year-old Paul Wootten, of Bruton-avenue, Wellsway, Bath, the boy without a backbone" given up by medical specialists as "a helpless, hopeless case,” can walk again after three and a half years in bed. Soon, it is hoped, he will be able to talk.

A miracle healer has given him; Ilfo, given him the chance to run and play like his little friends.
