About two years ago Mrs: Sumner was

frequent headaches, was the natural
result and not surprising; hut when .
great sore broke out on her limb, as Int
result of weak and nervous system.
she was alarmed. Many remedies were
tried, but all with the same effect, the
sore growing steadily worse.
Here appears the stTangest feature OF
the whole thing. In answer to her
plea for help, "a friend advised her to
try proprietary medicine, and she, a
physlcian's wife, followed this advice,
ard used food for nerves and brain
that was advertised in the papers.
In talking with your correspondent,
today, she SAID: This medicine soon
wrought n wonderful change. After
taking five bottles, / found the sore
almost entirely healed, and my general
health very much improved, and now
at the age of seventy-eight / am in

A Popular Pastor Compelled to Retire
From His Work by Ill Health.

Popular Pastor Compelled to Retire
From His Work by Ill Health.
There was decided sensation in Park
Congregational churcn yesterday morn
ing when Rev. l. P. Powell arose and
read . letter from Rev. Alexander Mer-
riam, resigning the passionate of the
church. Nr. Merriam was not able 70
be present In person. 1t was well
known By the church and society that
their beloved pastor was suffering
from i'll health, but it was hoped
that the rest and change of scene
which he has been enjoying of late,
would fully restore him TO his former
vigor. Such thing as his resignation
was never dreamed of.
His letter stated that he had been
obliged by failing health to take
what he supposed would be brief vaca-
ton. That he came home from his
trip two weeks ago expecting to resume
his former duties. He finds, however,
that his health will not permit, and
that ne must rest for an indefinite pc
Rod before he can do so. In consider
alton of the fact that his absence
from the pulpit must be indefinite, he
submits his resignation, and hopes
that the church will accept it.
He reminded the congregation that his
former charge had been kind enough
to accept his resignation and to permit
him to come to them and he hopes that
they will be equally considerate. A
meeting OF the church and society was
called for Thursday evening to con-
slider the resignation. DR.. Merriam has
been a model pastor and Is dearly be.
loved by his people. He is u man Of
rare ability, deep thinker and a great
student. Those who know him well say
that he has overtaxed his strength, and
that he fears if he does not refrain
from his lahors, that he may become
the victim OF organic brain disease.
