another Poor sufferer Rescued.

Miss Mary Mccartney, employed at the West
brook Manufacturing Company, Saccarrappa,
Me-, five years ago, commenced to feel tired
languid sensation. She did not care to stand
long. Soon there was a soreness to the flesh, and
the hands and feet commenced TO swell and pain
her badly. She seemed to ache in every part of
the body. The doctors called, at once pronounced
the trouble infiammatory rheumatism of the
worst form. After long spell of this suffering
she got over this. only in short time to be again
taken down; and so it has been with her for five
years; sometimes these attacks lasting as long as
eight months She would work until her mother
would be obliged to hep her into bed. Feeling bet
ter in the morning, she would try it again. only
to drag herself home again in the evening. Any
one reading this can understand what this poor
girls suffer.ngs must have been. Her mother
had done everything she could for her. Doctors
and medicines of all kinds had been tried, but the
girl got no help. About one month ago she APP
piled to Drs. Smith and McNullen, the magnetic
physicians, at the United States Hotel in terri
BILE condition. She was badly swollen, with hands
and feet like puff0alls and the flesh in every part
SO sore she could not stand TO be touched. She
was then given a magnetic treatment, and was
told 10 continue her work, which she did. She
presented herself at the doctors parlors yester-
day, and stated she was as well as ever in her
life. Every sign of pain and swelling have gone
and for the first time in five years she feels her
self entirely well and strong. Considering the
severity and long standing Of this case it is con-
sidered quite wonderful cure. Miss Mccartney
will gladly answer any letters containing stamp,
or talk with any one calling upon her.
Drs. Smith and McMullen are permanently To-
Gated at the United States Hotel. They treat
every form of chronic disease, and can be con-

PORTLAND MILITARY coMPA-
MES.
The Mechanic Blues Will Dedicate
Their New Armory.

The Portland Mechanic Blues. Co. B,
Captain Charles w. Davis, and the Portland
Light Infantry, Co. A, Captain b. A. Nor
ton, have got about settled in their new
quarters in the electric light building. 1t
has been the aim of Co. b to have the best
armory in the State, and If they haven't sue
ceeded they have come very near 1t. The
drill hall, which Is used by both companies,
is 65x63 feet. 1t is lighted by two arc cleo
trio lights, is heated with steam and has a
good floor. In the northwest corner of the
building are the rooms of the Portland Nc
chanic Blues. The anti room is very con-
yenient apartment, and is complete in all its
arrangements. There are As closets, one for
each member, in which the equipments are
kept. The uniforms are all
hung, on patent clothes stretch ers
and the appearance of the closets which
will soon be open for inspection, is very
neat handsome marble top table Is in
the centre of the room, the walls are covered
with pictures, and incandescent lights and
steam heat are provided: But the meeting
is justly proud 1t has been furnished at a
cost Of about 5000, and probably no military
company in the State has a more elegant
room in which to hold its meetings. A fine
Brussels carpet covers the floor, the walls
and ceiling are deliberately frescoed and dec
grated, the work being done by Jost d Nor
ton solid black walnut roll top desk and
large French plate mirror are in one end OF
the room, and in the opposite end is the rifle
rack made to hold 50 rifles. The window
draperies are very rich and beautiful, and
the walls are covered with large and small
handsomely framed pictures In the cen tire
of the ceiling the monogram OF the
company is artistically executed. The
photographs of each member of the company
taken in 1881, are arranged in d large frame
on the right of the right of the presidents
chair, which is on carpeted platform ON the
east side of the room. The photographs of
the members of the Biddeford Light Infant
ry are inclosed in large frame on the left of
the presidents chair. Around the room is a
nicely upholstered seat The upholstering
was done by T. w. Scott, a member of the
company. This cosy apartment is 30x20 feet
and is lightedIby electric lights and heated by
steam. These rooms will be open for inspec-
tiOn in few days, and will be dedicated in
the near future.
The Light Infantry rooms are similar in
arrangements to those of the Blues, but some
more furniture has yet to be put In them,
and considerable will be done before they
are opened for inspection. They are very
convenient pleasant rooms

dyspepsia Cured.

It would be impossible for me to de-
scribe what suffered from Indigestion
and Headache up to the time I began
taking Ayers Sarsaparilla. Iwas under
the care of various physicians, and tried
a great many kinds of medicines, but
never obtained more than temporary re-
lief. After taking Ayers Sarsaparilla
for short time, my headache disap-
peared, and my stomach performed its
duties more perfectly. To-day my
health is completely restored. Mary
Harley, Springfield, Mass.
I have been greatly benefited by tho
prompt use OF Ayers Sarsaparilla. It
tones and invigorates the system, regu-
lates the action of the digestive and
assimilative organs, and vitalizes tho
blood. 1t is, without doubt, the most
reliable blood purifier yet discovered.
