PROF. PARKER.
At the Brooks House,
Saves the Life of Mrs. Mary n. Nor
rison, f01 No. Willard St.


For years Prof. Parker of the Brooks
House has healed the sick in YER
mont by the laying on of hands. He
has performed many marvellous and
wonderful cures. Some of them seem
like miracles. The deaf have been
made to hear, the blind to see, the
dumb to speak, and the lame and de-
formed have been Strengthened up and
made to walk, but none of his re-
markable cures are any more marvel
Gus than the following case:
Miss Lille Fillmore, who did reside
on Allen Farm, was taken with a Sc
we're pain in her side and back, which.
in spite of doctors, continued to grow
worse, and her body was drawn over
sideways; one leg was drawn up and
contracted; she could not move a step
without assistance; she had many
different doctors, and was taken to
the different hospitals in Albany, and
while at the hospital they fitted a
steel Jacket to her, which extended
from the hips to up under her arms;
with this jacket laced up tight she
could move about on two crutches;
she could not move without the steel
jacket, even on crutches. In this con-
dition she was taken to Prof. Parker,
who is at the Brooks House, and, after
llt liidSiiCtiS NiCdthiSiitt 4uiSS
Fillmore could go on her crutches
without the steel jacket, and, after the
fifth treatment, Miss Fillmore could
walk, ride a bicycle, dance or do any,
thing she liked, and to-day is doing
her own work, and may be referred
to: her friends think she was snatched
from death. This cure was made
without dose of medicine, and Prof.
Parker will give $500 to any person
that will prove it false.
Mrs. Arcand, 125 Elmwood St, suf-
fered for 10 years from falling and en-
largement of the womb. She was I'M
able to attend to her household du-
ties. Prof. Parker cured her.
Prof. Parker guarantees to cure all
diseases of men and women without
pain or exposure; also cancers, tu-
mors, piles, ruptures, fistulas, heart
disease, dropsy, consumption, nervous
troubles, deafness, blindness, sore
eyes, catarrh, constipation, ulcers,
skin troubles, rheumatism and all de-
formities and lameness, and all other
diseases in half the time required by
any other mode of healing.
Prof. Parker has permanent office
at the Brooks House, BrattIeboro,
where he consults free Monday from
II a. m. to 8 p. M; Tuesday, 9 a. m. to
4 o. m. Be sure and see him.

White Gets $1,000 Verdict.

The Jury in the case of Frederick ].
White VS.. the Lumiere North Ameri-
can company limited returned a sealed
verdict at Burlington Wednesday,
oct, ;. for Mr. White to recover W.
800 and costs. Mr.. White claimed that
the amount of salary due him under
the contract with the Lumiere COM
pany was S17,400. He also sued for
additional damages amounting to over
$40, GOO. During the trial of the case
the rulings of the court were such
that it left the jury only the question
of determining the amount of salary
due Mr. White in case they found for
him. 1t was shown during the evil
dence that the company offered TO
settle with Mr.. White for his salary
as claimed.
The supreme court of New Hamp-
shire upheld the legality of the prac-
tice of Christian Science in that state
in q decision at Concord Tuesday,
Oct. 4, in the suit of Mrs. Jennie
Spead of Concord to recover dam
ages for injuries as the result of treat
ment by Irving w. Tomlinson,
| Christian Science practitioner of Con-
cord. Mrs. Spead charged that Tom
linson had failed to cure her of the
| illness for which he treated her, and
that her cure was greatly delayed by
the time spent in taking his treat
ment. The case was decided in ia
vor of the defendant in the lower
court and was appealed Inc su-
preme court now affirms the decision
and dismisses the bill. The court
holds that the Christian Science
treatment is neither negligent or de-
ceitful and people resorting to 1t can
not recover any damages in case the
practitioner uses the accepted Chris
| tan Science methods.
