fed.
i, The Editor of tho JOURNAL AND COURIER:
It is necessary for me to correct a
statement made in an Ansonia paper
on September 10. "Mr. Lathbury's Re-
covery" was the headline. ! have not
recovered from any nervous disorder
nor have l been troubled with physical
or mental disease for years. My views
and ways have been somewhat differ
emit, of late and were last spring, when
1 preached on Easter Sunday evening
in the Shelton Congregational church.
Knowing that l was taken to retreat
for the insane, that papers reporter
gathered exaggerated and fake news
and writes of his "excitable and ran
dom talk" and the apprehensions of
the conference and that in a letter
| received on eptember Mr.. Lathbury
speaks of perfect health and explains
that he did not realize his condition. :"
This is his view of the matter.
| A change of my views and manner
not only in Shelton, but in Bridge
hampton and while speaking in the
| conference in New Haven, led though
| less persons to suppose that I had a
| nervous trouble" / was decoyed to
| 224 Oak street, New Haven, on April
| Z, being told by my presiding elder,
| George Van Alstyne, to meet "a COM
mittee" (so-called) consisted of the
Rev. e. L. Thorpe, of the Washington
Park M. E. church, Bridgeport, Conn.
and the Rev. F. A. Scofield, of the
Grace M. E. church, New Haven.

DR., Moses c. White, of New Haven,
also a minister, came later and said

ing and asking my brother, who was
with me, to go for an officer and pre-
vent this hasty and thoughtless work,
was hurried to the carriage and taken
to the depot, an officer also accompany
ing Mr. Thorpe. Thence to Hartford
and into the retreat for the insane,

an examination and dismissal was

were going to take their time.
My wife was alarmed at my absence
and my brother did not know what it
meant. Money was sent by my elder
to the retreat where I was locked in,
to hold me for a "cure," and as CORE
spondence is examined in this place
when the patient is not supposed to
be responsible, I could not write what
wanted to say to my wife, but finally
did, after being tested five months, and
not taking drop of medicine, which
I refused from the first, and no treat
ment'' but detention.
| did not miss a meal and slept well
and was in perfect health of body and
mind for five months and am now.
Such are the facts to which / can
make affidavit at any time, and these
facts my friends should know.

But all are honest and sincere.
That is why any one can prove for
himself the genuineness of Puritana
cures.
Puritana patients get well.
This is a fact.
There are reasons for it.
Puritana is the discovery of Prof.
Dixi Crosby,
Hewasthe greatest New Hampshire
physician of his day.
He was at the head of the Dart
mouth Medical College for genera
ton.
He used common sense, and found
that disease or health came to the
body through the stomach.
He scientifically compounded a
stomach medicine from the harmless
products of natuSe.
This is Puritana.
1t makes the stomach right.
That is why it makes the health
right.
With a sound stomach no one can
help being well.
That is why Puritana patients get
we'll.
Chemists say that Ptritanaisa good
medicine.
They also say it is well made.
The materials are the purest and
best that money can buy.
