A MARKED copy OF the Messenger and us
hor, an obscure church periodical published
at ST. John, N. b., has reached the WATCH
MAN Office which contains a lengthy COM
municaton signed by Austin X. DeBlois
on 1.-THE Kelley Gold Cure.' This screed
contains more misstatements Ito character
ize them by no stronger term) to the square
inch than is often crowded into a news
paper article-statements so badly false
that 1t Is evident the author either has been
paid to write it by some enemy Of the
Kelley cure, or that he himself is such an
enemy. The article is endorsed in long
editorial containing statements more abb
surd than even such crank az Arthur w.
Millbury could conceive Of The editorial
endorsement closes by saying, If any of
our readers are prepared to give in a read
able and concise form their personal obser-
vations or experience, testimony favorable
or unfavorable as to the results of the
Kelley method, we shall be pleased to pub
lish their observations" That editor is
likely to hear from Montpelier in very
short time. A marked copy of last weeks
WATCHMAN has been sent him, which, If he
wants to be candid and honest in the mat
ter, may make interesting reading for him
until he receives communications from
some of the more than two hundred gradu-
ates of the institute at Montpelier. The ar
ticle in the March arena from the pen of
Dr. Leslie e. Kelley on the same subject
might prove interesting reading for the au-
thor of the screed in the Messenger and Vis-
itor,
