Dr.. E. p. Miller, of the Home O
Health, New York, and Georg.
Francis Train, were in Nunda ovel
Sunday, stopping with his brother
Mr.. Jonathan Miller. The Doctor
furnishes US with the following
interesting sketch ofthis remarkable
man:
EDITOR NUNDA NEws-Deal
Sir:-Will you allow me to correct
an error in regard to Mr.. George
Francis Train, which was copied In
your columns from the Dansvllle
Advertiser. The Advertiser states
that Mr.. Train was in ill health,
and a patient of mine. So far Is this
from being correct, that Mr.. Train
Is not now sick, mol has he ever
been sufficiently so to employ a
physician. He is probably the
healthiest man i'm the world to-day.
The only time he eve came near
being sick, and the only thing that
has ever impaired his physical
strength i'm any way, was when
they attempted to poison him while
he was imprisoned in France, and
the miasm of the tombs where he
was imprisoned by a New York
Judge for quoting extracts from the
Bible.
Mr.. Train has been a b ,arder in
my Home of Health for the last
five months and a half, and during
that time has taken regularly two
and sometimes three Turkish baths
a day, but these he takes as a lux
ury. His blood Is so pure, and cir
culates so freely, that almost by an
effort of will he can make the crim-
solf current tinge the capillaries of
the hands and feet.
His religious belief is that God
thinks the most of, and will only
save those who take the best care of
themselves, and consequently his
motto is to take are of Train. He
Is i'm every respect a remarkable
man, He has been forty-six times
across the Atlantic, three times
around the world, lectured one
thousand and twenty-eight sue
cessive nights, organized the Pacific
Railroad, Credit MObilier, Credit
Foncier, the French COmmunes and
the InternatiOnals. Although he
has been in the highest social, liter
AIRY, scientific, political and COM
mercial society i'm this country,
Europe and Asia; yet he never used
a particle of tobacco in any form,
never has tasted drop of alcoholic
liquors of any kind, never has used
opiates or drug medicines
in any shape; and since he has been
in my house his system has spOn-
rejected meats, andfor the
last two months he has taken no
form af animal food, not even eggs.
Although a man Of intense activ-
ity, he has such control of himself
that ne can remain inactive for
months at a time, and yet be per-
happy and contented with
himself.
He does not believe the Bible as
an inspired book, but thinks Christ
was a fraud, yet he has in his daily
life followed out practically, the
christian code of morals. In addi-
ton to the physical virtues above
enumerated, he does not swear, lie,
steal, or cOvet; and with all his
wanderings about the world, he has
been true to his own wife. He is
now i'm his prime, being A years of
age. His head measures a little
"a inches, and 1t contains a
brain az compact and as full of
as any brain on the
Doubtless many men have
more knowledge on some subjects
but no man living has more on
all subjects. He can build a rail-
road, manage a steamship, conduct
a factory or foundry, manage a
bank, a mercantile house, edit a pa
per, write a book, preach a sermon,
deliver a lecture, keep a hotel, or do
that anybody else can.
speaks twenty different lam
guages. He is a natural born law
yer, and 1 do not think the man
lives who al cure as many diseases
as he can, and he will not
use any form of drugs at that.
Instead of his being my patient l
have been his. He came to my es-
Enlistment and taught me more
about my own business than / had
known before. By showing
me how to use my own remedies

cured me of a form of deafness

the best Occulists in New York
and London had pronounced me in
durable, One of these was the oc-
culist for Queen Victoria and her
and suite, the man who
cured the Earl Of Derby of long
standing deafness, to whom I paid
81 900 for treatment. By following
Trains advice i'm the use of my
own remedies, which l believe to be
natural remedies, my hearing has
one hundred per cent,
and / feel assured shall / soon be en-
tirely cured. The people of this
country have entirely mistaken Mr..
character. He has been ]
true to truth, as he viewed it, all his
life, and because he has fought sim
gle handed and alone, the corruption
and false notions of society, he has
been called a lunatic. Because he
has been true to himself, and has
taken care of himself, and has put
himself forward, as every natural
and true nan should, he is called an

had similar egotism.
He believes that the people of this
country would recognize truth, vir-
tue and manhood, and choose him
rs their leader; and if they don't
do it this time, it will be because, |
as he says, they are a race of dogs
because they love corruption, crime,
intemperance, disease and death,
better than honesty, truth, purity,
temperance, health, manhood and
long life.
MI. Train has been in fourteen
jails al prisoner, and every time
was unjustly put there. Since the
