a suitable building for the purpose. 1t will

structure, and can be torn down without great
loss at any time.

A few words on Rheumatism |!
OR HOW BECAME ENGAGED IN THE
UNIVERSITY MEDICINES.

Some eight years ago, (after returning from the
sickly climate of Southern China) 1 was attacked
with Rheumatism, and for four years was unable to
dress myself and most Of the time, my suffering was
great that would have given all possessed or the
wealth of the world IL had it. to be relieved from
my sufferings. tried all remedies knew or could
hear of but received no benefit. 1 had about given
up in despair when received one of the University
books. Thought it humbug at first, but after a
areful perusal it looked reasonable like drown
ing man catching to straw sent for the medicine
and in one week after commenced taking it / felt
some relief In one month could move about with
ease, and at the end of two months was perfectly
cured. l tried the medicine several others af-
hicted with Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Dropsy &c. with
the same beneficial effect. After testing the med-
cine to my satisfaction and finding it far superior to
any other medicine for all chronic diseases obtain
ed the general agency Tor the State of Maine and
New Brunswick. and moved to Portland some three
years ago. And of the thousands of patients / have
treated l have met with almost universal success
do not expect to cure all. and when see patient
that think cannot cure tell them So for above
all other denominations there is greater than
deceive and rob the sick. As there are thousands
suffering with rheumatism / wish to impress the
minds of such to not despair; their case is cur

utes and by taking the University Medicines. If no,
cured in month there will be great relief and il
must be a very stubborn that cannot cure in
two months. Why dwell so much on Rheumatism

are its Victims and know they can be cured. II

not enough to sufficiently satisfy those that are suf-

NIISCELLANEOU NOTICES.
Mutual Life Insurance Company.

INSURANCE OOmPdMys
By the statement published in your columns
on the I'd inst. your readers will see most ex-
haustive and overwhelming REPUTATION of the
recently published statement of Sheppard Ho-
mans, alleging misappropriation of trnst funds,
and malpractice on the part of the executive
officers of the Mutual Life Insurance Company.
The unqualified endorsement Of the practice
and administr alton of the present officers of
the company by such we'll known gentlemen
Is Messrs. Alexander H. Rice of Boston, VIM.
7. Babcock, of San Francisco, F, Blatchford
Starr of Philadelphia, and Messrs. William E.
Dodge, George l.. Coe, VIM. M. Vermilye, Hen
ry A.. Smythe, John R. Develin, Henry E.
Davies, Francis Skiddy, John v. L. Pruyn,
William Belts, Lucius Robinson, and others,
standing at the head of some of the most respon-
BILE and time-honered financial institutions of
the country, whose word, honor, integrity or re-
spopsibility no one presumes to question, should
silence all adverse criticism originating from
either private or public sources.
The language of these gentlemen is full, ex-
plicit and uneqnivocal and complete in its en-
tire refutation of all the allegations of misap
preparation of the company's funds or malad :
ministration
These gentlemen unhesitatingly affirm, after
a thorough examination of all the complaints
alleged, "their entire confidence in the watch
fulness, ability, integrity, economy and eflcien-
cy of the executive officers, and unparalleled
prosperity of the company"
1t would seem impossible to use stronger ex-
haustive language in utter denial of the allega-
lions of malpractice by the officers than is used
by these eminent gentlemen in this case of the
Mutual Life The reproduction of this une-
quivocal and conclusive Endorsement of tho
economy and efficiency of the management of
the Mutual Life Insurance Company but re-
confirms the cause of its wonderful prosperity.
President Winston0nd the executive officers
of the Company may well feel proud of this
unequalled record in the world, and of the I'M
equivocal Endorsement of their administration
by some of the most responsible gentlemen of
America-and proceed in the same steady
course to the completion of beneficent inst-
tuition, whose protecting hand shall guard and
uphold millions of otherwise dependent widows
and children all over this country.

REUNION OF THE VETERANs.-The fifth re-

terday at Montre al House, Peak Island, There

an occasion of great interest to the old soldiers
who had come from all parts of the country to
see each other and to talk over old times.

shots to man, the small target was literally

by reason of his being in better line and be-
