DID 1T.

NEW LONDON, CONN, April 26, 1869
REMEMBERED FRIRND-I thought it well to
wait another week before writing, to see if con-
tinued to improve, as / have been doing some
time, under the treatment of the new medicine
and am happy to tell you that I am getting
better-even faster than when you were here. I
commenced the use of DODD'S NERVINE
without anybody advising me to it. When be
gan with it l could only walk from my bed to the
chair. My trouble has been extreme pain in the
head and has lasted over three years. All the
medicine have heretofore taken has failed to
give me any relief. l am now able to 20 up and
down stairs, and daily improving. consider the
Nervine the best medicine ever found, and thall
continue its use, for am confident of entire re-
covery. l have taken only three bottles and
would not be without it on any account.

SIR: The writer desires to correct an error
which occurred in your account in Saturdays paper Of
the Masonic mposter has been travelling through
Long Island other parts OF the country but was de-
teced at Flushing. Your report gives 20 the District
Deputy Grand Master l. Bradford Prince the credit OF
"unmaskng the impOster," aud cautlODing the craft
against him. &C. The man was at once suspected to be
IN npOstor by the officers Of the Flushing Lodge and
Master, Mr.. j. L. Frame jr telegraphed to Charles

proven true. Other information was then obtained,
which led TO the discovery that the Same person had
