most elegant single sleigh il was ever our good
rtune to examine. We think it even excels
in beauty the famous sleigh Mr.. K. exhibited
at the State Fair. 1t is Mr.. KS patent cor.
rugated pattern, painted imperial green top
and dasber, running work fire white richly
striped with gold and carmine, trimmed with
brown silk velvet. and is rich and elegant in
the extreme. This sleigh was built by Mr.. K

The Doctor is well known in all the eastern
part OF Maine as one of the best looking men
in the State, and we feel very sure he will
have by all odds, the finest turn out in the
Pine Tree State.-Portland Press, Jan. g..
To this beautiful sleigh that cost four hun
dred dollars, the Doctor has hitched one Of
the most splendid horses in the country, with
a gold mounted harness to match, making the
team cost in round numbers nearly two
thousand dollars. But the Doctors wonderful
success fully warrants the outlay. He is one
of the most skillful men in the country, and
is daily performing miraculous cures of the
most terrible diseases that no man can &C.
count for. Ali afflicted will do well to consult
him at Merchants Exchange, Dexter, Maine.
