A Wonderful Cure.

The Hon. Theodore B. has been terrible suf-
ferer nearly all his life from eczema, or salt
rheum, as it is more commonly called. His legs
from his hips to his feet were as raw as piece of
beef and oozed watery, sticky fluid continually.
No pen can describe his suffering. The Itching
and burning were dreadful. Eczematous patches
varying in size from silver dollar to that of y
mans hand covered his whole body. He had been
to New York, Chicago. California, and to the OF
springs of Arkansaw, but found no relief. He had
paid out over 1000 in trying to get relief. But
nothing did him any good until he applied to Drs.
Smith and McMullen, the magnetic physicians, at
the United States Hotel, who cured him. Mr.. b.
undoubtedly suffered from the worst attack of salt
rheum that any human being ever had He is
now well man, and II any person desires to write
to him let them call on the doctors and they will
furnish his post Office address.
The doctors are performing some of the most
wonderful cures in Portland that were ever known.
