Tobin OF THE NOW CELEBRATED as receiver of the brokerage firm of A 4 A 5 Payne Becker and was released from an attachment which had been secured ag-ainst his property in con 13 nection with a suit for J52.328 filed IN agrainst him yesterday by Tobin.

The mm Jay 1 -ear I This prescription cured Father John of a severe cold and throat trouble, and so restored him to health that he wns able to resume his work. In his visits to his people he recommended to his parishioners and friends the medicine which had proved so effective in his case, and people going to the drug store where this prescription was on file asked for as "Father John's Medicine." So the medicine was named by the people who advertised with tho full knowledge and consent of the Rev. Father John O'Brien, because he knew of its value.

J2400 was accepted in settlement of a transaction between Gustin and Payne Becker involving about $5000.

The remainder of the $63,000 suit is based, according to Tobin, upon a note dated Dec. 22, 1914, for $48,000 given by Gustin to B. and due in six months. This note was found among the assets of the brokerage firm. Gustin told a Post-Dippatch reporter this morning that he was amazed at the appearance of this note.

He said that about a year ago he owed Becker several sums personally loaned, and sent him a signed but blank note, telling him to fill it out for what he owed. "I did not owe Becker more than $500," said Gustin, "and I had supposed that, if he did make out a note, it would be for a smaller sum. At any rate, I know nothing of this note, and settled my indebtedness to Becker long ago. I shall fight the suit on this note. 3 An old prescription book in use in 1855 and now carefully preserved at Lowell, confirms the absolute truth of the history of Father John's Medicine.

The page dated Saturday, June 9, 1S55, contains prescription Number 55461, which was filled for Rev. Father John O'Brien of St. Patrick's Parish, Lowell.
