Luther Correspondence.
LUTHER. MAY I'd. Il


Noah Osborne and A. D. Burdick
had quarrel, during the forenoon of
Monday last, in which words brought
on blows, and Burdick was handled
pretty roughly. It then seems that
Burdick went to his room and pro-
cured revolver, and returning to the
room where the quarrel occurred, fired
q shot full at Osborne's head; the ball
grazing his head, and the powder
marking his forehead. Reports are
conflicting as to the precise manner
of the beginning Of the shooting.
Osborne claiming that he was just re-
turning to the house from out doors,
and as he opened the door, Burdick
thrust the pistol In his face and pulled
the trigger; while Burdick, 1 believe,
claims that. Osborne returned to the
house swearing he would kill him.
Burdick drew his revolver. and warned
Osborne not to come any nearer. Os-
borne, however, advanced, when
Burdick fired. Osborne then turned
and ran out of doors; Burdick follow

In presenting to the public a mode
of treatment for the cure Of those ter
rible diseases that afflict mankind, It
is but Just and proper that the princi-
pies upon which it Is founded should
be set forth In as clear q light as pos
sible. The time for secrecy In such
matters Is past, and any plan Of treat
ment or remedy, that will not bear the
closest scrutiny of Scientific investiga-
ton must be regarded with suspicion.
1t is rarely in the history of medicine
that all the indications Of disease have
been met by single remedy or combi-
nation of remedies. But after q con-
tinued and accurate observation of oil
the phenomena attending the course
of an almost countless number OF
cases of rupture, and extending over a
long term of years, q preparation has
been gradually perfected, which, In u
most surprising and satisfactory man.
ner meets the exact requirements for
the permanent Reiief and Cure Of Rup-
fure, even In its most obstinate forms.
For the benefit of those Of our readers
who have not had the opportunity OF
testing the merits of Ercetsior Rupture
Treatment for themselves, we ask that
YOU send to n. III. .Merrick, Ogdens-
burg, ~. Y. for his Free Book on Rup-
ture.
