 Main St, Waterbury, Tellsa
 Wonderful Story DEMONSTRATIONS SATURDAY NIGHT
More Wonderful Than Ever--Office in the New Buckingham Building Continues to Be Crowded to Its Ut-
 most Capacity.

The renowned young philanthropist who has been promising such wonder ful things from the use of his New Discovery undoubtedly showed his audience Saturday night that he was not making any idle boasts. Persons reading of his phenomenal work no doubt were skeptical in regard to the yeracity of the reports of the extra ordinary work of this young man. As the proof of the pudding is the eat ing of the same, so what the eyes see the heart must believe. Yesterday among the many people who came to thank the Great Vurpillat for what his New Discovery had done for them was John Parn of 227 South Main street, who brought with him live tape worm, which he said passed from his system. In speaking of his case, Mir Parn said: At times l felt sick all over. I really can't describe with words the awful feeling that would come over me. Some mornings I would get up with bad taste in my mouth. I had dull, sick headache and pains in the small of my back and would sometimes feel as if 1 had large lump in my stomach. I had been told by different physicians that I had a bad case of stomach trouble and have been taking medi- cine all the time, but have never found anything that has done me any good. I was advised by friends to buy a package of vurplllat's New Discovery and after taking seven dos es I passed this large tape worm, measuring seventy-two feet in length.
 T shall always be thankful for his visit here. Beyond doubt this is the most wonderful medicine in the world. can truthfully recommend 1t to any one suffering as I did"
 Among those to be demonstrated upon Saturday night were the follow ing:

James Mccullough, who had been stone deaf in both ears for over twenty-seven years. He stated to the young demonstrator that for years he had been unable to hear anything. Vurpillat took up a bottle of the New Discovery and began applying It. After three minutes demonstration he spoke to Mir Mccullough in an ordi- nary tone of voice, asking him if he could hear him, then walking away a distance of fifty feet he repeated the same question. With a smile on his face and tears in his eyes Mir McCul- tough told vurpillat he could hear clearly and said: How can I ever thank you for what you have done for mel"
 Fred Lynch of 8 Lafayette, who had been a sufferer with a stiff arm the result of rheumatism for four years. After five minutes use of the New Discovery he stated to the vast audience that all soreness and stiffness had disappeared.
 Mrs James Eurt of 46S South Main street, was the next to be demonstrate ed upon. She had been a sufferer with deafness in both ears for twenty years. It only took three minutes ap- plication of the New Discovery to en- able Mrs Eurt to hear clearly at dis tance of fifty feet.
 Another who sought and found re- lief from deafness through the agency of the New Discovery was Joseph Room of 15 Jackson street, who had been deaf for fifteen years.
 The office still continues to be crowded daily from Q a. El. to 5 D. m. where consultation and examination are free to all who call.
 A good program has been arranged by the vaudeville company for to- night and no doubt the usual large au- dience will be on the Bank street show grounds to hear the Great vur- pillat and witness the entertainment.

JEFFRIEs' STATEMENT.
He Has Something to Say About the
 O'Brien Burns Fight.

On top of all the talk about the OBrien and Burns battle, Big Jim Jeffries, the heavyweight champion, who was an interested spectator at the ringside of the fight, when he learned of O'Brien's attempt to frame up the fight with Burns, made a state- ment that O'Brien came to him and offered him $80,00O to take the count and fake fight at Nevada some time ago. Jeffries added:
 "O'Brien was the first and only man who ever asked me to do crook ed thing in the ring.
 It was right after Cans and Her man fought at Nevada, and he called at my town home and lost no time f.. putting this proposition up to me: I nave found certain party in Nevada who will give us purse of $50, 900 to battle for, and they will put an ad- ditional $50,000 in the bank for you, making $80,000 in all--every cent of which will go to you if you take the count for me in a fight I began at once to laugh at him, and he saw at glance that it was all off, and then l said: I don't need the money that bad, Jack, and I would not fake a fight for all the money in the land or for my best friend"
 After the Burns fight on Wednes- day night Jeffries said that Joseph Hagen, better known Tn the prize ring as Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, had bet ter hike himself back to the Quaker City and close the career of fighting and continue in the real estate busi- ness for, the rest of his life, for he is practically dead now with the sport ing world.

BLOWING the Nose.

Medical experts are calling the atten
ton Of the public to the Importance OF
performing the nose blowing operation
in a scientific and hygienic manner
First one nostril and then the other
should be blown without undue VIC
lence. Doctors state that the two nasal
passages should never be closed at the
same time II they are INSTRUCTED. as
In the case OF cold the back OF the
throat Is filed with compressed air
and this. together with the discharge
and the microbes which 1t contains
may be driven through the eustachial
tube into the middle ear and lead to
serious results. A great authority on
the subject used to forbid his patients
to blow their noses when suffering
from cold. The course is hardly one
which will commend itself to those In
the habit of catching colds. The best
advice would seem to be that when II
is necessary to blow the nose blowing
should be done gently.-LondOn Mail.
