"DOC" WILSON'S STORY
THE OUTCOME OF A VIVID MAG
NATION.
Mr.. MOen's First Wife a Woman Pos.
sessing a Firm and Unim.
peachable Character.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., December o.
''Doc" Levi Wilson YVES seen at tn
offics Of his counsel, J. West, thi
morning, He appeared pale and hsg
gard, IS though he had passed sleep
less night. The excitement Of tn
past few hours seems to have affected
him greatly end he wss nervous anC
apparently worn out. He esid tina
nov the secret was out he felt bette
than he had since he was II years o
age.
III, said he, the Wilson's (meaninS
the people with whom he had lived
during his boyhood days., stand by
me now, / shall win my case anC
triumph over Moen."
He said his alleged mother lived in
East Thompson, Conn, and his tWo
sisters, Mrs. Downs and Mrs. Young
in Birmingham and Ansonis, Conn.
Wilson stated that the story as pub.
lished is true and that Moen's state
ment is false in nearly every particu-
lar.
"Moen," Wilson said, "knows that
am bis son. He is an admitted per.
jurer. He said he would continue his
case in the courts TO the conclusion,
which, he felt confident, would be in
his favor"
Wilson was advised by bis physician
to 60 to his home, take some quieting
potion and devote the rest OF the day
to sleep.
The secret of the case remains as
much of a mystery as ever. The dates
and al the evidence collected today
contradict the sensational story tele-
graphed from Providence last night
that Doc Wilson is the son of Philip
Moen. Wilson, by bis own statement,
and the statements OF his friends, can
not be more than 81 or 80 years old.
Moen was first married in 1915, forty
years ago, and his first wife died be-
fore Wilson was born. These dates
alone contradict his story completely.
Lifelong residents OF Worcester say
it is impossible that Moen could bear
any such reaion to Wilson. The first
Mrs. Moen was lady of very lovely
character. She was firm and up
right woman, and neither she nor her

such proceedings as are alleged.
Mosn's father was a New York iron
merchant, residing in Brooklyn when
Phillip l.. Moen came to Worcester.
An old Chum of Wilson'S in this city
ssys there Is no truth in the story and
that Wilson is no more Moen's son
than he is.
Mics AGENT Sampson, an aged nurse,
says she went to live in Ichabod
Washburn's family when E il, Wash
burn, Moen's. first wife was only ~
years old. She has nursed in and been
intimate with both families from that
time to this. She has nursed both of
Mr.. Moen's wives at the birth of all
his children, and had known him in
timaiely since he was 81 years OF age.
He was just and upright man and
most faithful and loving husband and
father. Moen and his counsel both
deny wholly and in detail and in the
most positive and completo manner
Wilson's story.

The reduction of internal revenue and the
taking off of revenue stamps from Proprie-
tary Medicines, no doubt has largely bene-
fitted the consumers, as well as relieving the
burden of home manufacturers. Especially
is this the case with GREEN'S August FIolCeT
and Boschee's German Syrup, as the re-
duction of thirty-six sents per dozen. has
been added to increase the size of the bottles
containing these remedies, thereby giving
one-fifth more medicine in the rs cent size.
The August Flolrer for Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaint, and the German Syrup
for Cough and Lung troubles, have perhaps,
the largest sale of any medicines in the
world. The advantage of increased size OF
the bottles will be greatly appreciated by the
sick and afflicted. in every town and village
in civilized countries. Sample bottles for 1C
cents remain the same size.

.rhe Devil and the Deep Sea. "

The old story of the poor soul who was
caught between The devil and the deep
sea, gets new illustration from the deal
ing of doctors and drugs with malaria. The
story is soon told: MY daughter" said a
lady, '.had been struggling with malaria for
four years. She was all the time out of
health-poor appetite, disOrdered digestion,
pale earthly color, pain in the head, limbs
and back, and every now and then right
hard chill, followed by fever. Then we
would send for our doctor and he would
prescribe quinine, just as he did from the
first-and so kept doing all along the
name of quinine sounds like the tolling of
the bell. Clearly between tine two, her
health was being ruined and her very life in
peril. She was really between The devil
and the deep sea- Sometimes the name is
varied, and it is called some other 'ine' in
place of quinine, but II is all the same-the
old firm with new sign. In this dilema
lady friend said: why not try Humph-
rey's Homeopathic Specifics, Nos. Ten and
Sixteen tried them. They were sue
cess from the first, and not only cured the
malaria, but restored her to perfect health,
and left no trace of disease or drug pOiS-
oning."

The time has again come for US to call
attention to the necessity of a well organ
lied board of health in Springfield. There
is great deal of sickness here, which is
largely. il not wholly due to the neglect of
the authorities in this matter. Diphtheria is
prevalent; there is some scarlet fever, and
considerable other sickness that should be
sufficient to cali the matter forcibly to the
attention of those having authority TO act
IN the matter. The good health of our
people is more to be considered than any
thing else, aud prompt measures should be
adopted.
