LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Falls Village, Conn,

0DTudTy 1Z, 1SZO It is about time the good people of Falls Village and vicinity woke up to the fact of the great necessity of trying in the future to station in their midst good, reliable physician who would not abandon them in the winter when most needed, as the condition of affairs this winter was most deplor- able with so much sickness and no physician here.
 Of course the doctors in Canaan and Lakeville were worked beyond endur- ance,> with so much sickness in their communities. Too much praise can not be given to the noble, heroic eff forts of Dr. J. G. Adam of Canaan, who unmindful of his own health and strength, and after working so stren- uously among his many patients in his own community, snatched what little time he could, coming here to relieve suffering. His limited time would not permit him to visit many, bat some of those he could not reach he sent medicine, thus averting ser ious illness and saving human lives.

As it has been written, "There were cannon in front of him, there were cannon on both sides of us, cannon behind us, still we pressed on. We'll does it apply to the faithfulnes of our friend Dr. Adam. For there has been sickness in front of him, sickness on both sides of him and sickness behind him, still he has pressed on. There has been chance to minister unto our needs and he has ministered, feeling the need of his neighbor.
 We appreciate his faithfulness and kindness to us in these times of need.
