Mention was made recentlyof gen.
tleman in very feeble state Of health
who had been for some time at the
Butchers Abattoir in Brighton for med.
ical treatment, simply drinking hall
tumblerful Of warm blood twice day.
This course the gentleman, Mr.. @. q.
Stickney, who Is willing that his namC
shall appear, has followed until week
ago, having been there ten weeks, and
during that time gained ten pounds in
weight, and, to use his own words,
"My appetite is good; I sleep well and
feel like q new man, and 1 am soon to
commence business again in Boston. y
He also says that there are dozen 9th
ers there, drinking the blood, all Of
whom are gaining under this treatment.
One gentleman from Boston, con-
sumptive, so feeble that it was with diff
fculty he could get to this abattoir, ID
now able to handle m axe skillfully. A
lady from the city who has been sick
six years, stricken with paralysis, is i'm
proving wonderfully by this "blood
cure. A gratifying feature Of this
cure Is that II is without money and
without price," and Mr.. Stickneyspeaks
in praise Of the gentlemen in charge OF
this establishment, and says strangers
visiting the place will find courteous
treatment Boston Journal.
