LII tne COURSE OF Ine interview tne doctor
said: | came into the State of Vermont last
May for the purpose of making tour of the
State in the interest of my Boston office. |
was surprised at the field | found here and
owing to my success with number of difficult
cases in the early part of my visit the dem and
for my services and the requirements of my
rapidly increasing practice compelled me to
make series of return visits. Beginning
J with Bratteboro May 1lth, have visited 30
towns in Vermont alone making two or three
return visits to each town, have consulted with
and examined over 1000 people, rejected 49,
as incurable, have treated 2761 patients have

erative powers are so great that good nights
sleep makes me fresh and strong for the next
days work. | doubt If there was much benefit
derived from the last treatments given there
but as had advertised to treat all who called
that day free, and make it point to always
do as I advertise l continued to treat as long
as the people demanded it. have been called
in consultation by II prominent physicians of

family doctor under my instructions. Is his
healthy State? No sir, it is not. l have
practiced in IL States of the Union and in no
other State, little, or big, have had the num-
Der of cases of Catarrh, Consumption, Cancer
and Heart Disease that have had in the State
OF Vermont considering of course, the number
of cases seen. Now | will give you a brief
history of few of the most interesting cases
that | can call to mind quickly and will men,
ton only Vermont cases as | believe your
readers are more interested in what | have
done and am doing here than what | did do in
Texas or Wisconsin One of the most interest
ing cases | think of was that of Miss Nellie
Stevens of Bedford, p. O. Canada. She came
to see me at st. AL Rams last May and she was a
poor sick child | tell you. She was suffering
from Pernicious Anaemia also called Chlorosis
and Green sickness, but commonly called Con-
sumption of the blood. She had been treated
by her family doctors without success and had
almost given up hope. began treating her at
once and she has constantly gained under my
care until to day she is the picture of health.
She has gained in weight from So pounds to 115
and still getting better. Another interesting
case Is JndU Oh MT. w Y. lIampSOn, the we'll
known business man of Manchester Depot, Vt.
About year and half ago Mr.. Lampson was
taken down with the grip. The disease left
his liver and kidneys in bad condition and
about three months after his recovery he
| noticed a rash or bright red spots coming out
in different parts and quickly spreading over
the body and changing. to scaly eruption.
His family doctor told him he did not know
t exactly what the trouble was, but that it
! a very uncommon disease which he had never
seen before and wanted to photograph him in
the interest of science. Nevertheless the good
, old doctor thought he could cure this UNI
!. common disease that he had never seen before
: and knew nothing about, and as Mr.. Lampson
a said " He put me through a course of baths
a and rubbings and sprouts till what little good
skin had left gone and parts of me were
as raw as beefsteak. BY this time | thought
a something must be done, and l made up my
:, mind the first thing to be done was to find a
! physician who understood my case but where
to find one, did not know as the one already
had was called the best in that part of the
county. | went to Rutland and saw number
4 of the leading physicians, but only one seemed
4 to know anything about my case, and he
o seemed to think it couldn't be cured. By this
time as my wife was also sick, and got no
help from the local doctors, | became dis
couraged and did not know what to do or
. which way to turn. About this time | saw
DR.. Barbricks notice in a paper and that he
would be in South Londonderry on such day.
: made up my mind to so and see him, but by
this time my faith was so small did not ex-
pect much. But when the doctor, the moment
he saw me began explaining my disease telling
me Just how it came on and how it acted, tell
ing me how the other doctors had treated me
= and even repeating almost word for word
!. what they had said to me when went to them
q about my case, made up my mind | had not
made the trip over the mountain in vain. L
y had also brought my wife with me and the
Doctor on examining her said he could cure

would sit and cry and be unable to tell what it
was all about, and had not been able to do
even the little homework required for herself
and me, but in less than three months she

months to bring me out. but he did it and |

ways be pleased to write to any one who will
enclose a stamp for reply, my personal opinion
of this wonderful Physician and my expert

pleased to do the same if any ladies wish to
Manchester Depot, VT Mr.. Lampson's case
If was a skin disease, known as psoriasis. This
N disease is not an uncommon one, although it is
d not so frequently met with as other forms of
n skin troubles such as Eczema, Salt Rheum,
Pimples, Blotches, Acne, tc., all of which
| treat just successfully as did Mr. Lamp
sons case. W'll now, Mr.. Reporter, have
- given you from the Northern part of
the state and one from the southern part and
2 l suppose it is nothing more than fair that
{ should give you one from the East. The
3 Western one W II come later, should be local
5 one. My Eastern one will have to come from
Z Barton, guess, and is that of Miss Ida Rug
3 giles, daughter of DIR A. NJ. Ruggles of that
B town. This little lady was { N awful sufferer.

her case write to the little woman herself.
