A Dangerous Electric wire.

Monday evening the messenger boy al
Haskell & Jones's went out to take in the
door mat and stood on the iron grating for
this purpose. All at once his cries of agony
called the attention of those in the store and
1t was found that he was suffering from cleo
tricity. He could not go to work yesterday
although not seriously injured. Then dog
came along and he touched the electric light
pole and went off crying His owner made
inquiry as to who kicked his dog. He was
told to apply mis- hand to the post and he got
shock and several fingers burned. The
electric light men were notified and found
the coating of the wire worn off, and the
whole iron front of the building charged
with electricity. They got the wire out of
the circuit and the trouble was removed.

Joseph Mcintyre, OF East Deering,
Maine, Cured by Drs. Smith and
McMuIien, the Magnetic Physi-
clans, at the United States Hotel.

Joseph Mcintyre, employed by James Lucas
brick manufacturer, East Deering, Me, was taken
about four years ago with an Itching pretty much
all over the body. 1t bothered him for time, and
then not beins so bad, he paid no more attention
TO it. Still 1t troubled him constantly. He was
treated by many of the best physicians in this vi
entity, and used the many different things adver-
tised for eczema, or salt rhemum but he constant
ly grew worse. This last spring he was so bad,
and 1t would itch so terribly be thought he would
go wild. About three weeks ago he read of the
wonderful cures being made by Drs. Smith and
McMullen, The magnetic physicians at the United
States Hotel, and went at once TO Portland TO
place himself under their treatment. At that time
MIR. McIntyre's left leg, from the knee down, was
a sight to behold. 1t was swollen very large. and
the whole calf was full of holes you could put the
end of your finger into, while the itching was in
tense. In one week IRON that time the leg was
perfectly smooth, not of the holes to be found
and now after three weeks treatment the leg is
wholly well and fast regsining its natural color
and shape. If Drs. Smith and McMullen were 10
make specially of any disease, 1t would be
eczema in any FORM Mr.. Mcintyre will gladly
answer any letters containing stamp, or talk with
any one calling upon him. Drs. Smith and Nc
Mullen treat all forms of chronic diseases. They
are permanently located at the U. s. HOTEL and
can be consulted free from a. m. to D. m.
