EDITOR News AND CITIzEN-ST:-I notice
an item in your issue OF Doth inst. which leads
me to think your Eden correspondent is hav-
ing another one of his poor spells, In speak
ing of Mr.. Parrin's $50 called temperance lee
ture" at the Corners WedL esday evening
Now Mr.. Parrin does not advertise to be a
Murphy or a Moody or a Sam Jones. He
simply advertises as poor Peter Parrin, the
cobbler of No. Hyde Park; one who has been
by the grace of God brought from darkness
to light; one who is willing to impart his 4
years experience as a drunBard and unbe-
lever to Others that they may be benefited
by his sad ex perience--all without money or
price. By request he has given thirteen lee
lures since Nov | at Johnson, Waterville,
Eden, Belvidere and No. Hyde Park to full
houses, good attention and kind treatment /;
not only complemented by the county press
but by those who have listened to his dis
courses Now we think if your Eden "scribe -
had been paying close attention to Mr.. Par
rims remarks on that eventful evening, in
stead of pursuing dime novels and newspapers
during his discourse, it would have saved
him much worrment of mind about his neigh
hors' children. saying nothing about his own
kids. We believe it to be a well established
fact, and has been since the cruclfxion of our
Savior that all great and good men. by rea-
son of envy or jealousy, have to be criticized
Most public men have to bear their share 1t
tends to make their lives more sublime and
useful to the world provided they are honest
with themselves. 1t would be sad indeed il
we were to glide along through this life and
not have a passing notice from satan or
some of his co-workPrs. In conclusion, Mr..
| Parrn wishes me to thank the good people
of Eden for their kindness to him while al
their place; also the scribe who so kindly
furnished the item for the NEWS AND CITIZEN
in behalf of the dear children who we're so un
| fortunate as to be present on this occasion
Yours truly, s, NEWTON.

duty to bring such facts to the attention of
all invalids, that they may be benefited
thereby.
Chemistry and science are daily astonish
ing the world with new wonders. The re-
searches and experiments of this grea,
chemist, patiently carried on for years, have
eliminated in results as beneficial to human
ity as can be claimed for any modern genius
or philosopher.
The medical profession throughout Ameri-
lea and Europe are about unanimous in the
opinion that nearly all physical ailments
naturally tend to the generation of consump-

Winter much faster than the long, hot days
of Summer.
The doctor has proved the dreaded disease
to be durable beyond doubt, in any climate.
and has on file in his American and Euro
pean laboratories thousands of heartfelt
letters of gratitude from those benefited and
cured in all parts of the world
Consumption, uninterrupted. means speedy
and certain death.
No one having or threatened with any
disease should hesitate day. He considers
it his professional duty-a duty which he
owes to suffering humanity-to donate a
trial of his infalible cure.
