where persons have journeyed miles to worship at some shrine for relief. and we also read of where they have been healed through prayer, and where such cures do take place the greatest excite ment prevails and it is heralded as a great miracle.
 For many years Dr. Damon has been healing the sick both in public and private and for several weeks this spring he and his powerful associates have demonstrated this marvellous gift" in Warner Hall, also at the lily perion, effecting many wonderful cures. Now that the pressure of business at the office has compelled them to close their public clinics, the large army of suffering humanity are Hooking to the office at the Elliott house, with every variety of chronic ailments, nor do they go away disappointed, for the small fees charged by Dr. Damon is a guar antee that the confidence in his ability to cure warrants him in making his office fees less than any other legiti- mate specialist in the country. Thou sands of testimonials can be shown of patients cured of every form of disease, as the Vitapathic system of treatment reaches every known disease and ail- ment it is applicable to the most sen- sitive woman or. child, and to the strong as well as the weak.
 The organized opposition to pr. Damon and his marvellous cures has met with a fiat failure. Now, after so many have been cured, those who were 1oudest in their senseless talk against this God given power that has brought health and happiness to hundreds right here in New Haven, they are the first to encourage their sick friends to go to Dr. Damon for relief. It is a sim gular fact that every great man who has ever originated anything for the benefit of the human race has met with opposition, hatred and insult. Dr. Damon, however, has risen above all this, and stands to-day the greatest benefactor of mankind
 Reference to many well-known peo- pie is a sufficient guarantee that Dr. Damon and associates thoroughly un- derstand how to cure all diseases Ca tarrh, sciatica, rheumatism, lumbago, fistula, female difficulties, dyspepsia, scrofula, neuralgia, deafness, sleepless- ness and all nervous disorders, bladder troubles, tumors, and in fact, every chronic disorder, no matter how long standing are rapidly cured.

CARLYLE was we'll known to London

inouired if he knew who his fare was,
