Stralghtened LIN.

John F. Baker had narrow escape from being
helpless cripple. He was at work putting up
some machinery for the Holyoke Card and Paper
Company, and being obliged to stand upon high
horse, 1t broke and threw him backward, he
struck upon his head and shoulders Mr.. Baker
is an old man OF 70, and those who saw him fall
thought for sure he was killed. He was helped
up by his fellow-workmen, when it was found he
was badly injured In the back sides and stomach.
The heavy fall doubled him up so his stomach was
injured to that extent that he could not straight
en- up to breathe without great agony. Mr.. Baker
suffered terribly. and did not know what to do.
thinking he would be bent-over cripple the rest
of his days. He had for months been reading of
the wonderful cures being performed by Doctors
Smith and McMulen, the celebrated Magnetic
physicians at the United States Hotel, not think
ing he would ever require their services. So he
managed TO get TO the hotel to see II he could not
be cured. Doctors Smith and McMullen gave him
amagnetic treatment that at once relieved the
pain In the side, and Mr.. Baker could again
breathe without pain. He conld also straighten
up, and In fact he put on his overcoat himself and
went home much relieved In mind and body He
received in all four treatments and is now as well
and strong as before his injury. He Baker went
to work after the first treatment and never lost
but onehalf day after his first visit to these Justly
celebrated physicians. n - gsT.f
The above remarkable cure was made more
than one year ago, and is now given for the pur-
pose OF showing that the cures made by Doctors
Smith and McMullen are lasting. Mr. Baker
is well, strong man today. and has never missed
days work since. Doctors Smith and McMullen
are permanently located in the city of Portland at
the United States Hotel. They treat successfully
every form of chronic disease. Consultation free
