INvH8T1Q AyOR,

SsGaVe 10 SAINT anu SINNER the POISONOUS cup.
They were quilting the people day after day,
BY administering drugs in their usual way;
Some few Of them had fortunes made,
While others were trying to learn the trade.
The undertakers and doctors all 81:
Seemed busy as crickets in the wall;
They seemed TO work TO each.other's hand,
For the sick were deeing all over the land.
The workers In marble came in for share,
For grave stones were called for everywhere;
The Sexton he was busy too .r.s ia sd
For the graves he prepared were not a few. 4
The Priest had calls not very rare,
An the SICK and dveing for death to.prepare,
The Preachers were called for, far and near:
To shed on the grave the falling tear.
A vision came over the peoples eyes;
The poisonous drugs will not sufhce;
Clustering and bleeding Is now too old,
A far better way will soon be told.
heard the voice of the spirit call,
And plainly pronounce the name of Paul.
What means that sound would like to know
Went through the town both to and fro.
Behold! he comes and here he stands
To heal the sick use both hands;
Like Christ and Peter Paul, and John,
A reputation soon he won
He heals the sick both night and day..
What is his name tell me pray?
Paul Caster is the name he bears =
From Indiana and elsewhere.
The people were silentssa little while.
And Paul began to make pile.
Ills Infrmary now doomed up so:high,
That all may see as they pass by.
Now doctors all we win put him down,
For you see he is gaining great renown.
There Is one way that was never known To fail,
Wewill raise the cry and use black mail
Come doctors all how shall we doit-
We will use the name Of Eleanora Hewitt:
Just hire her to speak and say,
Whatever may come in her way.
Commence tho suit in any way, 81
II possible SO as to make 1t pay; - 4ttiFf-s
Two lawyers from Desmoines came
TO help to carry out the game.
Two thousand dollars will heal the wound.
Then Miss Eleanora will be sound;
For character she does not care,
II silk and satin she can wear.
No money now at all at ALL
Could any one scare out of Paul:
Back to Desmoines both lawyers went
And left Miss Hewitt to lament.
Now Cory.will yon take it up,
1t may be quite little cup;
feel my stomach already sour,
/ For Paul has used ON me the power.
viii the court please take my excuse,
have got to heave, it is no use: {
Then to the door he quickly went, 4
With stomach curved and back well bent.
suffer worse than Saul or Kish,
am sicker far than Jonah's fish:
Throw me dear fish upon dry land
Now doctors all let's give 1t up,
Some soothing syrup let me sup;
Eleanora dear am suffering ALL
Which caused it love, you OF. Paul?
iwill hold up my head and be quite bold,
But truth is truth, ] see we are sold:
know the case can nee'r be won,
For ON us shines an evil sun.
The doctors then TO Cory SAID
You, urey siloulsanot be afraid,
For Graves Is pledged to our side:
The case is made before it's tried.
Such testimony as there was used,
In other courts has been refused;
Graves says, Know the testimonylies.
But hold 10 Paul or you viii loose the prize.
But Paul still gubs now as before
And ne'r forgets the days of yore:
He still holds out the nag of truce,
Can't put him down, 1t is no use.
His rooms are crowded night and day,
With parties there from every way,
From every country, tribe and tongue
The middle aged, both old and young,
Come alye suffering sons Of earth,
will use you we'll, both King and Serf:
win tell you where your diseases lay,
Without asking questions i'm any way.
My friends testify for me-
OF cures performed that all may see;
Come one and all investigate,
The many cures performed of late.
How can man, If black with crime,
Heal as the apostles did in the Sayiour's time
Come then and see the cures that's done
Before condemning any one.
lido not say in me confIde,
But by my works-let me be tried:
And hear my patients bless the day
That ever Paul came by this way.
To patients old and patients new.
] now appeal to all OF you;
Proclaim the truth to every one.
That all may know what have done.
An unlearned man with stammerinp tongne.
Come see him all both old and young:
NO charge is made for seeing the sight.
God Bless the world and speed the right.
