Aftcr careful investigation we have nscer-
tanned that tho Rev. Joseph r. Inman is
myth. The name OF DR.. W. q. Greenfield does
not appear in the New York Directory. and we
ARE satisfied that he is also myth. DR.. H. &.
Thonet Of Paris and Dr. j. W. Watson Of Lon
don may b. placed ia tho same category. We
have inquired among the oldest inhabitants OF
Jamaica. and can find no trace Of the Rev. Jo-
eeph 7. Inman. The ship Reindeer on which
he says he sailed to South America must have
been the Flying Dutchman. for there Is no
record Of its arrival in any port
We took the recipe to Hudnuts. Rushtons.
Hegemans. and tho most experienced drug
gists. and all agreed that there were no such
herbs In the pharmacoppin. Some OF the clerks
said that country druggists slapped up bogus
prescriptions and sold thom 10 anxious inquir-
ers at good price.

Bible House complain bitterly. The direction
Is only advertised because the use OF the words
" Bible House" gives the reader q false i'm

liRious character OF tho pretender. Joseph 7.
lnman The Office in ~. Marks place il run
by two young fellows calling themselves Allison
and lloarne. They dress nobpily, wear fine
diamonds. and look more like sporting mon
than doctors They acknowledge that there Is
no such man as Inman. but print n circular
from him, appointing Allison as his agent.
Inquiry at the Post ONCE showed that Hearne
X Allison had had some trouble in securing
their registered letters They had been sign
ing the name OF the Rev. Joseph r. Inmnn to
the receipts, and the signatures appeared in 30
many different hands that tho Postmaster re-
fused to deliver the letters without positive in
structons from the Department at Washington.
The following letters are interesting:
