Here is a letter from the pastor of the
most influential church in South Balti-
more, that every truth-seeker should read
carefully.
Every disheartened sick person and
every man or woman who has lost faith
in the remedies he or she has tried be-
cause none of them has done any good
every one h is sick ought to be cheered
up and filled with new hope and determi-
nation by the letter written by Rev.
William T. Bailey, pastor of the Curtis
Bay Church, the most influential church
in South Baltimore.
On March 81, 1896, the Baltimore "Sun.''
under display headlines, published the
following news of Rev. Mr.. Bailey's afflic-
toni
.sE.ev. VIM. T. Bailey. pastor of the Curtis
Bay Baptist Church, was paralyzed in
the tongue while preaching Sunday night,
and lost HI power of speech. The con-
gregation was at once dismissed, and DR..
49, was called. He said Mr.. Bailey was
suffering from a severe attack Of nervous
p%rostration caused by hard study and
overwork, and thai he must have rest
and quiet"
The whole city was shocked. The
papers soon began to record an improve
ment.
On April 13, 1896, the following open
letter was addressed to the proprietors
of Paine's celery compound
South Baltimore, Md, April Ii, 1896.
Messrs. Wells, Richardson & Co.:

ATLANTA, March 20, 1S97.-Bishop Hem
ry NJ. TURNER. of the African Methodist
Episcopal Church. says i'm the Voice Of

'.The fiendish lynching of John NJ. john
SON and Archibald Joiner upon mere slls-
picion in louisiana while the African
Methodist Episcopal Bishops were meet
ing in the city of New Orleans, only a
few miles from the scene of blood and
death, was most damnable. Let every
negro in this county who has a spark of
manhood in him supply his house with
one, two or three gums. or with a seven
or sixteen shooter, and I advise him to
keep them loaded and ready for i'm

loose your missiles of death and blow the
fiendish invaders into a thousand glib

this for over seven years, but on account
OF episcopal status we hesitated to express
ourselves, thus fearing 1t might meet
with the disapproval of the House Of
Bishops, but their approval or disap-

the public how Paire's celery compound
had been a blessing in his family.
These are a few among thousands,

Later in the year the proprietors of this
wonderful remedy received still another
letter from DR.. Bailey, as follows:-
Gentlemen-I propose to do what ] can
to let people know of your Paine's celery

so much good. I shall in my own way,

Academy of Music.

The popular Irish comedian, Mr.. Dan
Mccarthy. will present his entirely new
play, entitled, 'The Dear Irish Home
at the Academy of Music on Monday
evening next. Mr.. McCarthy's portrayal
of the noble-souled Irish lad has been
q continued success in each of the series
of plays written by him; but he is not
content with success in his old pieces,

win public regard and make an actor a

vidual from n season to another. In
this new play, he is said to have a piece
far better than any he has heretofore
written. The production is deliberately
staged, and the supporting company is
said to be the best that Mr.. Mccarthy
