MR. ORME'S BOOK.
It is Entitled "Rev. David Devine, D. D., and the Devil."
Richard McAllister Orme, of this city, is the author of a book entitled "Rev. David Devine, D. D. and the Devil: or, the Devil in His Own Defense." The price of it is 50 cents. The author claims that it is the most original book of the day, and he is about right. Dr. Devine and the devil have a number of friendly talks upon various subjects, and the devil invariably gets the better of the doctor. The devil is made to appear much less black than he is painted. Indeed, he creates the impression that he is a greatly abused and misunderstood individual. He gives an interpretation of many things in the Bible very different from the generally accepted one.
The book is an entertaining one, and shows that Mr. Orme has given a good deal of thought to it.
The most astonishing results in healing wounds have been shown by Salvation Oil—ad.
