Little Mary. daughter of William Bruce is sew
en- years OF age, and was taken last January with
spasms. The spasms came ON at first whenever
she fell asleep. During the night she would be
seized with violent commissions. The arms and
legs would straghten out and become stiff and
rigid. Then they would contract and be drawn
tight to the body. Her eyes were wide open dur
ing spasm and turned upwards and outwards
presenting a most frightful appearance. AS often
as every hour during the night, or whenever she
fell asleep, her poor little body was warped and
twisted into all manner of shapes by these terri
bic commissions. Her mouth was filled with
saliva, which caused constant drooling, that
Kept the clothing over her breast saturated from
morning Till night After she had suffered in this
manner for period of six weeks she lost the use
of her right arm. One week later her left arm
and both legs became paralyzed and were power
less. She could neither move hand or foot and
was as helpless as an infant. She lay as helpless
as though she were dead. The most skillful ply
sicians were summoned, but were powerless to
even give her temporary relief. She remained in
this most pitiable condition until the fifth day of
August, when her father carried her to Drs.
Smith and McMullen, the magnetic physicians, 81
the United States Hotel who gave her a careful
examination. and undertook to cure her. She re-
ceiyed twenty magnetic treatments and was
cured. She has had no sign of spasm for some
time and has perfect control of all Of her limbs.
In short, she is well and happy. Her parents are
delighted and grateful, too, for what the Doctors
did for little Mary Any person reading this
statement who may think it is not true are invited
to call Cd Drs. Smith and McMullen, at the United
States Hotel and they win give the exact post
office address of William Bruce. The Doctors are
regularly educated physicians and surgeons. II

them and be convinced. They may be consulted
