An Old Soldiers Story of How He suf-
fered, and Why He Is now Happy
Mar

Mr.. A. Chandler, of Miller Post, No. 90, G. a.
r., Shelburne Falls, Mass, slipped upon the side
walk three years ago and injured his hip in
very painful manner. The result was an injury
TO the sciatic nerve, and for long time MIR,
Chandler could not stir without the greatest pain,
and at times he had no rest for weeks. To make
matters worse, stomach troubles set In with con-
stipatlon and liver disease. He consulted differ
ent physicians In his neighborhood, and used all
the remedies advertised for the cure Of rheuma-
tisDi, but gradually grew worse. His family and
friends did all they could for him, but all thought
he would go the way Of most all that suffer from
this Ierrib trouble, viz, brcome helpless Grip
pie and constant sufferer the rest Of his lfe
inst as the last hope gone, and he had settled
down to make the most Of his condition, he saw
an account of the mysterious cures being made by
Drs. Smith and McMullen, the celebrated mag
netic physicians, at the United States Hotel port
land, Me. The more he read and pondered, the
better satisfied he became there was cure for
him yes. Together with bis brother he at once
paid visit to the doctors. After careful exam
ination he was pronounced durable. We now use
his own words: 81 felt like new man from the
moment they placed their magnetic hands upon
me- fceuip almost feel the pain and disease pass
from me, and now consider myself well man
again, and all Of this has come about so suddenly
can scarcely realize 1t. All Of the strength has
returned to my leg, and can tramp around now
as well as did twenty-five years ago in the old
Virginia mud. would not take one thousand
dollars and be put back where was when went
to you."
Mr.. Chandler is well known citizen of Shell
burne Falls, and this statement coming from such
a source, must convince the most .skeptical as to
the truly wonderful healing powers Of Drs. Smith
and McMullen. Every known chronic disease is
treated by their own peculiar method, and this.
combined with their rare medical knowledge, en-
ables them to perform cures when all else fails.
Drs. Smith and McMullen have taken parlors at
the United States Hotel for several months, where
they can be consulted free from 9 a. m. to g. p. m.

and our idea of "a bargain"
