“Nerve” Glasses to Cure the Eyes 
‘“‘ Have I been buncoed ?”’ 
That’s the question lots of people 
are asking themselves in Manchester. 
Meanwhile Chief Peabody is looking 
around after the smooth-tongued arti- 
cle who slipped in last week and 
walked off with, as far as can be esti- 
mated, $400 or "$500 of good money. 
It was worked something like this: 
A young man, introducing himself as 
Dr. Clark, son of a well-known Boston 
doctor, who was introducing the rem- 
edy as a “starter” after graduating 
from school, would rap gently on the 
door, and after being admitted would 
tell of the wonderful “nerve”’ glass, 
the latest discovery, which, if worn, 
would in a short while cure the eyes 
of all kinds of troubles. To get the 
glasses and receive the treatment, 
sums of money, variously asked from 
$5 to $15, must be deposited, and if 
the remedy worked he would buy the 
glasses back, paying therefor $1. 
It is said he found 60 ready pur- 
chasers, though the number is proba- 
bly much less. The complaint to the 
police was made by William Johnson 
of Bridge street, who had paid down 
$5, and had caught the alleged doctor 
in a trap before he came around to 
collect $5 more.

COLD FACTS 
The Opinion of a Prominent Citizen of Ban- 
gor, Maine, upon the Results of his Policy 
in the John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance 
Company of Boston, as Shown by his Letter 
Reproduced Herewith by Photographic 
Process 
The following results plainly show 
the reason for Mr. Sewall’s unsolicited 
expression of satisfaction with refer- 
ence to his dealings with the JOHN 
HANCOCK : 
On June 13, 1866, the Jonn Han- 
cock Muruat Lire INSURANCE 
Company issued on the life of John 
S. Sewall, then a young clergyman, 
thirty-six years of age, Policy No. 
2460 in the amount of Four Thousand 
Dollars, payable as an endowment in 
thirty-four years, or at death, in the 
event of the prior decease of Insured 
—the premium of two hundred and 
thirteen dollars and forty-four cents 
to be paid annually for a period of ten 
years, after which time no further 
premiums were required. Dividends 
were applied annually to reduce the 
premium. 
The ten annual payments on this 
policy made by Mr. Sewall, of which 
amount $607.23, or 28%, was returned 
in dividends, amounted to $1,527.17. 
At the end of the endowment period, 
the full face value of the policy (Four 
Thousand Dollars) was paid to the 
insured — this amount being $2,472.83 
over and above the total payments to 
the Company, and shows a return of 
more than 160% on the amount of his 
cash investment. 
‘« Strong as Adamant, and enduring 
as the hills.”’ 
The above cold facts and figures 
tell the whole story. We invite com- 
parison with any company on the face 
of this green earth.
