 "Yes," said MT. Rasmussen, "my con dition of comparative health is indeed wonderful, when it is considered that ''ut few weeks ago l was but a physical wreck. With kindey and liver deranged to such degree that physicians had practically given me up as incurable, l lost all hope and made my will with the full expectation of dying within a short time. While was in this condition of mind and body, Joe Gilmour came to me and counseled that visit Dr. Mac Lennan. expressed the opinion that my case was beyond the reach of human skill, but he persisted and fairly packed me off to see the Doctor, telling me on the way of the almost marvellous manner in which he himself had been cured. The first treatment at the hands of Dr. MacLennan gave me strength and hope and today am well. I cannot speak in too high terms of the physician who has done all this for me. His work is mar velous and every day hear of cases of sickness equal to mine in severity that have yielded to his skill"
 GILMOUR's EVIDENCE.
 Pursuing the subject the reporter called around on MT. Gllmour. He is a member of the thriving firm of Gilmour Bros, blacksmiths, whose extensive shops occupy the southwest corner of Center and Adams.
 In response to query relative to his recovery from sickness, he emphatically said: 'I owe my restoration to health to the treatment have received from Dr. MacLennan. For two years 1 had suffered from Laryngitis until my voice was lost to that extent that l could not speak above whisper, my general health was undermined, and 1 was go- ing fast on decline. tried everything doctors, the Hot Springs and all-and nothing seemed of any use. Shortly after Doctor MacLennan came here, placed myself under his care. Today, l feel better than for years past, my throat trouble has disappeared, and l can yell like cowboy"
 Continuing his investigation, the re- porter called on the Doctor himself, at l his parlors on the second floor of the Monihon building. The reception room was found crowded with ladies, while on the balcony were seated a number of men awaiting their turns.
 The reporter retired to await a more favorable time for securing an interview with the Doctor, and, meanwhile, en- gaged in conversation with Hon. J. D.. Monihon, Chairman, of the Board of Insane Asylum Directors, whose office adjoins that of the Doctor. "There seems to be continuous stream of people," said Mir. Monihon, pouring into the next room all day long. They are afflicted with almost every ill that flesh is heir to but hear from them as they 70 away, nothing but the highest praise for Dr. MacLennan, and confident hopes for complete recovery. I know, personally, of number of extraordinary cures he has made. that show him to be most able physician"
 A CASE OF PARALYSIS.
 When opportunity offered admittance was gained to the operating room, where cordial greeting was received from the Doctor He was working upon patient under treatment for paralysis. The mode of treatment seemed to be a combination of electricity, massage and medicinal applications.
 The gentleman being operated upon is named Lieurence Venting. During short absence of the Doctor he grew enthusiastic in his praise of the treat ment received.
 "Just four years and three months ago." he said, 'I was mining on Lynx creek, near Prescott. One morning on arising I was stricken as quickly as though a bullet had hit me with paraly- sis in the right slde. arm and leg. I was taken to Prescott and have since spent in Physicians fees alone over $700. l was at Castle Creek Hot Springs when I heard that Dr. McLepnan was in Phoenix and took the earliest oppor- tunity of coming down and consulting him. l have been under his care for two weeks and see"-he raised his arm above his head-"I can use my arm without trouble and am able to walk without crutches am deeply grateful for the good that has been done me, when recovery seemed out of the ques- tion"
 SPINAL TROUBLE CURED.
 Another patient whose treatment was witnessed was G. K. Smith, the cleaner and dyer, whose shop is located on Cortez street, opposite the Monihon block. He has been troubled for several years with what the Doctors called | Sciatica and fol five months past has been unable to do any work at all. He placed himself under Dr. McLennan's s care about ten days ago, when it was discovered that his ailment was curva- ture of the spine, caused by the wasting away of the tissue between the vertebrae of the lower portion of the spinal column. He is now much improved. His back is regaining it's suppleness, showing that the natural oil is once more being secreted and he confidently expects an entire cure before the Doctor leaves.
 Dr. McLennan is man of fine phy- sique, with every indication of strong natural magnetic power. He ascribes his success in the treatment of the chronic diseases that are brought to him to the improved methods he uses and to the superior apparatus he brings to his aid.
