fact was deemed so important that a repre-

see him and ascertain the truth of the rumor.
Dr. Dio Lewis is a gentleman of sixty years
and two hundred pounds, with snOw-white
hair and beard, but probably the most per-

teachings and notwithstanding the amount
of work he has already done, promises still
greater activity for years 10 come. He re-

physical vitality, and especially upon the
